Reborn: Starlight on a Military Uniform

Dad said, “Once a rift forms between people, things can never go back to how they were. No matter how you tie a broken rope, it will always have a knot. So many people are friends today and strangers tomorrow. No one will stop for anyone. You don’t work hard to win someone’s love, but to become a better version of yourself. Don’t worry about what others think. Nothing in this world stays the same forever. A clock’s hands always return to where they started, but it will never be yesterday again! So don’t take it too hard when someone leaves you today. The world changes in an instant. Who can guarantee that everything around them will stay the same? You can cherish the past, but don’t expect everything to remain as it was. Don’t look back. No one is the person they used to be.”

Jiang Nan’s tears fell onto Xu Meili’s blue cotton jacket. “Maybe I was too stubborn, or maybe Heaven took pity on me and gave me the chance to come back. I don’t want you to go through those hardships again. I don’t want to watch you struggle in poverty, or see Mom hover between life and death because of a difficult birth...”

She suddenly wrapped her arms around them both, holding on with all her strength. “Please, just believe me this time. I can’t bear to watch you be crushed by fate again. Please!”
