Despite being rejected once, Tu Wa Zi still planned to persevere. The figure from his dreams still occupied his thoughts.
Joy, laughter, the sound of her voice, they all seemed so near, as if he could see them just by looking up, but they slipped away when he reached for them.
That was typical of his character. Some people wouldn't turn back until they hit a wall, but he wouldn't turn back easily even after hitting the wall – conquering it was the only thing that gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Unless he genuinely felt there was absolutely no hope left, as long as there was a glimmer, he would never easily give up.
Besides, Lord Willow God had more than once taught them: being dumped once was not shameful, what was shameful was not having the courage to shamelessly keep on persisting, to strive to set a record.
It was this teaching that kept motivating Tu Wa Zi, encouraging him from the depths of his heart.
