The sound of the tides seemed to come from a distant place, deafening and overwhelming, as it swept over them. It was as if they stood at the edge of sea and sky, amidst the rolling waves. The seawater surged toward the horizon, crashing against the cliffs, echoing like a lament, as if it was confiding something.
Amid this majestic backdrop, Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian stood, eyes locked. Their hearts raced, as if excited by the encounter of this moment.
