Blurb:
Because of a promise, He Yige set off to film a documentary.
She thought she could handle everything alone.
But in Tibet, her recklessness came at a price.
When darkness fell, He Yige was desperate. The police rescued her from the criminals. She calmly explained what had happened, accepting the care and concern of the officers and herding family. But she stopped in her tracks as she stepped out of the wooden cabin.
Under the moonlight, Ruan Lu was smoking. Her sharp features softened when she saw He Yige. She walked toward her through the moonlight and said quietly, "I'm here, Sis."
Later, on Duri Peak, at an altitude of 4,400 meters, Ruan Lu had to choose between altitude sickness and the person she was currently seeing, her lover. She chose the latter, leaving He Yige halfway up the mountain.
He Yige watched Ruan Lu walk away, her heart turning cold.
They didn't meet again for three years.
At a documentary premiere, He Yige unexpectedly ran into Ruan Lu.
She instinctively tried to leave, but Ruan Lu pulled her into a tight embrace. The little lamb, crying her eyes out, spoke timidly, as if she'd finally found her owner: "Sis, I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
He Yige curled her lip into a cold smile. "Too late."
She turned and walked away without looking back, just as Ruan Lu had three years earlier.
Only...
She didn't know that Ruan Lu had searched desperately for her on Duri Peak back then, nearly losing her life. And Ruan Lu didn't know that He Yige had secretly stuffed the remaining oxygen canister into her backpack.
[I never knew what secret lay beneath her lips.]
[Later, I understood.]
[Beneath her lips was the moon that had come running toward me all those years ago.]
