[Reborn comeback | A youthful story of healing]
Xu Zhaomian opens her eyes and discovers she has returned to her second year of high school, to the summer before any of the tragedies have happened.
She is no longer the gloomy girl from her memories, trapped in an art studio and covered in wounds. Determined to live toward the light, she sets out to make up for her regrets.
She never expected that Zhu Zhixin, the quiet boy in the back row, would be hiding a secret too. His fingers tremble as he hands her his rough work on a problem. On rainy days, he always tilts his umbrella to cover her shoulder. When someone corners her, he declares, “She’s my friend,” with unwavering conviction.
It seems he has a secret just like hers, and his eyes hold a tenderness she can’t understand.
Meanwhile, the art class representative, the dazzling captain of the basketball team, the gentle student council president, the transfer student... More and more eyes are drawn to her, while the secret of her rebirth takes root amid the chirping cicadas.
Xu Zhaomian looks at the countless hands reaching out to her and suddenly understands: this time, she is no longer alone.
The summer returns anew, and the boys’ secret feelings are tucked away in the tree rings. As countless gentle gazes quietly rewrite her second life, she begins again.
It's really beautiful and the writing is also very good.
The author writes very well and handles the plot very well
