Du Jinruo still remembered the heart-wrenching pain she felt at the time, crying so much she almost fainted.
The young man apologized and then, without another word, started digging a hole with his bare hands. She watched him dig until his nails were almost bleeding, which left her momentarily stunned, and she managed to stop crying.

She watched his eyes grow red, and dumbly nodded her head.
