Three days later, Ran Zhihan returned to City A. The first thing she did was to go and apologize to her parents.
When Ran Zhihan arrived at her home, she realized how much her parents had aged in those few days. Perhaps her departure had hurt them deeply, turning their hair white overnight, which made her feel somewhat guilty.
"Dad, Mom, your unfilial daughter has returned. How have you both been these past few days? I'm sorry, I've been too selfish. I shouldn't have left you both alone over such a trivial matter. The fault is mine, and I promise I'll never do it again. I'll take on the responsibilities and duties of a daughter. Please forgive me for my willful mistake. Your hair has started to go white, maybe because my leaving has caused you both so much worry. I didn't understand how much you cared for me, and made you worry at your age!"
