"Regarding Whale Fall, didn’t you and Moon ask me to use the voice recognition system to locate and find them? Just now, I found them! And I’m sure it’s them." 004 spoke with great excitement.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuluo froze in place, "Found... found them? Where did you find them?"
"On Cloud Shadow short video. They’ve just registered a new account. I sent you the link."
As 004 finished speaking, Gu Yuluo received a message with a link.
Seeing the link, Gu Yuluo decisively hung up the phone with 004, not bothering to head back and eagerly opened the link.
Upon clicking the link, what first appeared was a wall covered in white flowering vines. As the music started, Gu Yuluo noticed, at the bottom of the video, there was a zither. Fair and slender fingers pressed on one end of the zither strings while the other hand gently moved across them, plucking, wiping, hooking, and picking...
Soon, a gentle zither melody wafted from the strings. The sound was melodious, ethereal, and unknowingly, it seemed to pull the listener into a misty fairyland.
The hand that Gu Yuluo used to grip her phone relaxed from its tight grip.
At first, she stared fixedly at her phone. Gradually, moisture gathered in her eyes, blurring Gu Yuluo’s vision.
It was really Whale Fall. They had returned, and there could be no mistake.
Gu Yuluo held her phone, falling into a long silence, replaying the video over and over again.
In the end, Gu Yuluo downloaded the video to her phone and opened a chat with Gu Xiyue immediately.
[Fall: Found them! 004 found Whale Fall!]
As she typed, she could clearly feel her hands trembling.
As soon as Gu Yuluo sent her message, Gu Xiyue replied right away.
Gu Yuluo forwarded the link that 004 had sent her to Gu Xiyue.
After sending the link, no more messages came from Gu Xiyue, and Gu Yuluo didn’t send any more either.
She should have returned to the camp by now, but instead, Gu Yuluo found a tree with branches to climb up, sat on a limb, leaned back against the trunk, and with her phone connected to her earphones, played the video again and again.
Tonight the moon was bright, stars were sparse, the breeze was gentle, and the night was very pleasant.
Gu Yuluo sat leaning against the tree trunk, tilting her head slightly to look at the moon above.
She raised her hand towards the moon, spreading her palm open, allowing the hazy moonlight to shine through her fingertips onto her face.
The moonlight entered her eyes, and Gu Yuluo curved her lips into a clean smile.
Gu Zhiqi, carrying a zither, arrived outside Su Yunling’s room and knocked on the door.
It didn’t take long for the door to open.
However, it wasn’t Su Yunling who opened the door; it was Yun Yi.
Yun Yi, dressed in a knee-length sleep robe, leaned lazily against the door frame. When she saw who was standing at the door, her languid demeanor tightened slightly, and a flirtatious smile played on her lips, "Child, good morning."
Her voice was seductive and lazy, like a hook that could captivate souls and hearts.
As she spoke, Yun Yi’s expression flickered slightly, and the smile on her lips tightened a bit before she lightly coughed and spoke again, "Up so early, is there something you need?"
The seductiveness in her voice was a bit less, but it was still enticing.
Seeing Yun Yi emerge from Su Yunling’s room for the second time, a hint of confusion flickered in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes.
Could it be that they are a couple?
Tsk, that would be quite fitting.
They both had faces that could bewitch the heart.
"I’m looking for Su Yunling," Gu Zhiqi said, looking at Yun Yi.
Yun Yi raised her hand, lazily lifting her slightly curly hair, her smile bewitching, "What do you need him for? You can ask sister the same thing."
