In this short scene, we are introduced to a number of characters who have been introduced in the previous chapters. The first person introduced is Lin Xiumin, who tells us that he and his friend, Meihuan, are in the middle of a huge sandstorm. They are running away from the storm, but the storm is getting closer and closer. Lin is worried that they are going to die in the storm. He begs the rescue team to find them. He tells them that he has always loved them, and that it would be his luck if he could be with them in their last moments of life. They will get married, and he will stay with him in the desert, while she will go back to the city with her father.
