Ling Momo and Li Qingshen found themselves at the entrance of the subway station before they knew it. It was exactly six-thirty in the evening, the peak of the rush hour; the crowd was massive and packed so tight that it took them half an hour to queue for tickets.
As they waited for the subway, they held hands the entire time. However, as the subway arrived, Ling Momo, holding onto Li Qingshen, moved towards the train. In the final moments, someone pushed, forcibly separating their hands. Ling Momo reflexively turned to look for Li Qingshen, but the surging crowd pushed her all the way to the back of the subway, and by the time she steadied herself, the train had already started moving.
