26-Year-old Lin Ye is an Internet social beast who uses "working overtime" as an excuse - what he has been hiding from for 8 years is not the endless work, but the anonymous reporting letter in high school. At that time, because he was jealous of his deskmate Chen Mo's qualification for recommendation in the competition, he wrote a report letter, but he did not expect that the letter was tampered with, causing Chen Mo to give up the recommendation and broke off contact with him.
Eight years later, a party invitation from Chen Mo made Lin Ye hold on to the 3rd version of the apology note and step into box 302 of "Starlight KTV". But as soon as he met Chen Mo, he fell into a strange loop - forever stuck at the moment "9:01, Chen Mo just arrived in the box", the beer was always full, the classmates' conversations were repeated forever, and only he retained the memory of the loop.
During the cycle, Lin Ye discovered more and more clues: the high school diary in the crack of the sofa contained the words "Don't let him go" in Chen Mo's handwriting; the watch on Chen Mo's wrist always stopped at the time when the competition ended that year; the "flaws" of his classmates exposed the truth that "the cycle is a game"...
It wasn't until the seventh cycle, when Chen Mo handed over the original copy of the report letter, that Lin Ye knew: Chen Mo had long understood his cowardice, and spent 8 years of waiting to make a gentle reconciliation. It turns out that the so-called "time loop" was never a punishment, but someone who was afraid that he would hide forever and used the stupidest way to help him find his old self.
