[TL: Han GuangMing is having his character spotlight this chapter]

In Han GuangMing’s memory, he would always remember the scene in which his grandparents waited for him with dates. He would remember no matter how much time had passed before he returned to the countryside, be it was once a year, every two years, or even every three years.

Around the time of his first year in university, Han GuangMing had experienced his first relationship. The relationship was very extreme. One moment, they would break up, the next moment they would love each other. It was during this period of time that he received the news of his grandpa passing away. Han GuangMing had broken up with his girlfriend at that time, and with a combination of many freak factors, Han GuangMing didn’t attend his grandfather’s funeral.

The second year of university was around November of that time. The weather had been very cold and, by that time, Han GuangMing had been relieved of his torturous relationship. By then, he had received news of his grandma being sick, after which Han GuangMing had finally realized that there was already one person gone. It would never be like before, when there had been two elderly grandparents waiting for him.

Now, the second one was about to leave him as well.

Han GuangMing had to take a leave of absence from his university. After a whole day of train riding and car driving, he arrived at the courtyard where he had lived for eight years. The moment he rushed into the house, his grandma had forever passed on.

Right by his grandma’s bedside was a large basin of red dates. The basin was placed there by his grandma while she was still conscious of her actions; she had someone go into the basement to take out the preserved dates. From what the relatives had said, his grandma kept whispering for his name that whole day. She was worried that when he arrived, he won’t be able to eat the red dates she had prepared for the whole season.

She said her grandson was very understanding and he loved to eat the dates that she picked.

As Han GuangMing was at the tombstone of his grandparents, he cried his heart out. Uncontrollably, he smashed his head into the tombstone until he bled out. He was very regretful that he spent the earlier two years of his life so muddle-headed in romance. For that, he lost his most precious relatives, and it was already too late by the time he regretted it.

The year Han GuangMing’s had grandma died, the large jujube tree by the front of yard also dried up. Ever since then, Han GuangMing didn’t have a chance to eat the sweet tasting dates from the jujube tree.

As for Han GuangMing, his biggest regret was missing the chance to see his grandma for one last time. This was the knot that weighed him down heavily.

Han GuangMing didn’t for his grandma to suddenly appear there, especially right in front of him. In that flash of memory, he remembered everything that had happened to him during his childhood. When he first saw her, a thought crossed his mind that all the regrets he once had may perhaps be released after all these years.

“Little Ming, come here and eat the large sweet red dates. Grandma left it for you.” Suddenly, right beside Grandma’s side was a white basin. The white basin had alternating colors of white and red due to the large red dates within it.
