Jiang Bai had died once before.
The day he died, his whole life flashed before his eyes. In high school, he spent three years groveling after the school belle. The day after she rejected his confession, his family fell apart: his father jumped from a building, his mother died of illness, and he never even took the college entrance exam.
Later, while rummaging through trash for food, a girl crouched down and handed him a bottle of water. Sunlight shone from behind her as she smiled at him. She was the only light in his dark life.
But when he risked everything to find her, she cried and pushed him away. “I'm dirty. I don't deserve you.”
Not long after, he died in a car accident.
When he opened his eyes again, a piece of chalk hit him in the face. The homeroom teacher scolded him: “Jiang Bai! Sleeping during the college entrance exam? Do you want to repeat your final year?”
He looked at the sunlight outside the window, tears streaming down his face.
He had returned to the day before everything went wrong in his senior year of high school.
This time, he tore up his love letter and tossed it to the school belle. “Forget the three years of IOUs.”
This time, he would save his father, keep his family together, and get into the same university as that girl.
He would see her again.
On registration day, someone in the crowd called out, “Look, Yun Zhaoxue!”
Under the sunlight, a girl in a white dress stood at the welcome booth, smiling as she gave directions to the incoming students.
Jiang Bai stood frozen, his eyes reddening.
Senior, I've come to find you.
This time, I'll be the one to light your way.
Speechless, really speechless
