10 Years ago.
The girl under the rubble held the rescuer's hand tightly: "Please, please... Please, please save the person inside first..."
The man's pupils shrank, he stretched out his other hand and patted the back of her hand and said, "If you can save her, we will also save the people inside."
Ps: (1) Of course, the story is told 10 years later, and will be interspersed with memories from 10 years ago.
(2) The male and female protagonists are 9 years apart
(3) Has the heroine's experience been more tortuous? (I can't find any better adjectives hahahaha)
