What is the most painful thing in the world? It's when the one you love is right in front of you, but you can't embrace her. It's when she is swearing that she wants to marry you, but you can't respond with a smile, saying: Indeed, the one I want to marry the most is you!
Jin Cheng experienced this torment every day. He had planted a date tree in the courtyard because Qin Li had once expressed her desire to eat red dates even in winter. He had surreptitiously dug up a sapling from grandma's house and planted it. It would bud in spring and shed leaves in autumn, but the date tree had never bloomed.
When Jin Cheng tried to steal dates from Uncle Li's house next door, he was caught by Jin Xueping and severely beaten up at home. Qin Li, the heartless one, was laughing and applauding at his side, saying, "Serves you right for being gluttonous."
