The greatest regret in life is recognizing people poorly in one's youth and losing the person who mattered most.
Half a lifetime of mediocrity, an entire board filled with regrets.
After more than twenty years of twists and turns, Xia Tian's youth had been reduced to a desolate wasteland.
He had chased after illusory flowers, neglected his childhood companion who had stayed by his side year after year, distanced himself from the brothers who had walked beside him, and squandered the hottest years of his youth.
Then he awoke from a great dream and returned to the height of summer in 2008.
The old school buildings creaked, youth still burned brightly, and every regret could still be mended.
In this life, he would shed the shallowness and restlessness of youth, seek neither empty fame nor superficial glamour.
He would protect his three or five closest friends and devote himself solely to the gentle Dong Shu.
Returning in the height of summer, he would not betray his youth or the deep feelings of his younger days.
