It's not too late to meet in the book

The breeze from Mount Songshan should have been refreshing and cool, but to Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan, it felt like an icy blade, ruthlessly slicing at their fragile nerves. Their screams echoed through the valley for a long time, as if even nature itself was wailing over this sudden tragedy.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan hugged each other tightly, their bodies trembling with fear. Their faces were as pale as paper, and tears flowed like beads from a broken string, streaming down their cheeks and dripping onto the soil beneath their feet, instantly absorbing it. It was as if even the earth was silently bearing their pain.

"What should we do? Yuxuan, what should we do?" Lei Xiaoyue's voice was filled with tears. She looked at Lin Yuxuan helplessly. Her eyes, which were usually full of spirit, were now filled with fear and confusion.

Lin Yuxuan held Lei Xiaoyue's hand tightly, trying to comfort her with his own strength. But his heart was also filled with fear and anxiety, and his voice was trembling: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyue, let's... let's calm down first and think of a solution."

Yet, in the face of such extreme fear, any words seemed pale and powerless. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible web of fear, unable to break free. Their eyes were empty and hopeless, as if the whole world had lost its color.

At this moment, Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao heard their cries and rushed over. When they saw the terrified looks of Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan, they were so distressed that they almost cried.

"Xiaoyue, Yuxuan, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Wang Jing's voice was filled with anxiety and concern. She tried to get closer to them, but was frightened by Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan's excessive reactions and stopped.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt directly in front of them, gently stroking Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan's cheeks with her hands, trying to convey some warmth and comfort in this way: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are all here and will protect you."

But Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan seemed trapped in their own world of fear, unable to react to anything outside. Their eyes widened, and they kept repeating, "What should I do? What should I do?"

The surrounding tourists were also captivated by this scene and gathered around. Some were surprised, some sympathized, and some prayed silently. But no matter how hard they tried, they could not dispel the fear and helplessness in Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan's hearts.

"What happened to these two children? Did they see something terrible?" a middle-aged tourist asked curiously.

"Yes, I heard screams just now too. It seemed to come from the cliff over there." Another tourist pointed to the cliff in the distance with a look of horror on his face.

"Could it be...could it be that someone jumped off the cliff?" A young girl's voice trembled, and her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The crowd began to talk, and the atmosphere became tense and oppressive. The mountain wind on Songshan seemed to grow stronger, rustling the leaves as if mourning the tragedy.

Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao listened to the surrounding discussions, their worries growing. They knew Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan must have witnessed the cliff-jumping scene, which was why they were so upset. They had to find a way to comfort them quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Xiaoyue, Yuxuan, listen to me, the person who jumped off the cliff is no longer here. We cannot change this fact. But we can choose how to face it." Wang Jing's voice was firm and powerful. She tried to use her words to guide Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan out of the shadow of fear.

However, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan seemed to be entangled in a web of fear, unable to extricate themselves. Their eyes were still empty and desperate, and they kept repeating the same words: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Su Xiaoxiao saw this and felt a strong sense of powerlessness. She knew that in this situation, any words would be pale and powerless. She had to find a more direct and effective way to comfort them.

So, she softly hummed a nursery rhyme. It was a song they often sang together when they were young. The melody was simple and warm, full of childhood memories and warmth.

"The little stars are shining like many little eyes..." Su Xiaoxiao's singing echoed in the valley, like a warm current, slowly flowing into the hearts of Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan.

Miraculously, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan's expressions began to change. Gradually, they came to their senses from the depths of their fear and began to pay attention to their surroundings. They saw the concerned looks of Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao, heard the murmurs of the surrounding tourists, and felt the gentle caress of the mountain breeze.

"Xiaoyue, Yuxuan, you are back!" Wang Jing shouted excitedly. She hugged Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan tightly, as if she was afraid that they would disappear again.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan also hugged Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao tightly, tears streaming down their cheeks again, but this time, they were tears of gratitude. They knew they had finally emerged from the shadow of fear.

"Thank you, Mom, Aunt Xiaoxiao. We...we are fine." Lei Xiaoyue's voice still trembled a little, but it was no longer the trembling of despair.

Lin Yuxuan also nodded, his eyes shining again: "Yes, we are fine. We will face this together."
