Gu Nianzhi's anxious heart finally calmed down, and she smiled as the baby deer licked all the melted chocolate clean off her palm. She petted its head. "Go back. Your mom must be worried about you." The baby deer walked away and keep turning back, but this time, it bounded into the woods and completely disappeared.
Gu Nianzhi turned around to wash her hands in the river, then checked her phone. It seemed to be dry from the sun now. She pressed hard on the power button, her heart thumping wildly. After some time, the familiar black and white Apple logo appeared on the screen. It was finally turning on! Gu Nianzhi sighed deeply and entered her passcode. To her surprise, no one had called or texted her. Then she looked at the phone signal. It was showing "No Service." It was impossible to go online, but she still might be able to try calling. Gu Nianzhi called Smith again, and her call was again sent to voicemail. How could this be?
