The person standing in front of Song Youhe, head bowed and lashes trembling as she asks her to reconsider the breakup, is Lu Xulin, her childhood friend and constant rival.
They've known each other since they were babies. They should have supported each other, but...
Not even close.
Whenever Song Youhe studies, Lu Xulin has to bother her, drawing out her words and whining, while doodling cartoon versions of Song Youhe on her paper.
When Song Youhe gets a confession, Lu Xulin grabs the love letter first, tears it up, and loudly threatens to tell their parents.
When Song Youhe gives her the cold shoulder, Lu Xulin will chatter endlessly all on her own, fussing until Song Youhe gives her a reply.
Even when Song Youhe plans to rent a place off campus for college, Lu Xulin insists on packing up her bedding and becoming her roommate.
Roommates are bound to have accidents. One night, they get drunk and end up in bed together. They start a hasty relationship over it, and, unsurprisingly, break up.
Song Youhe grips the handle of her suitcase, looking coldly at the person in front of her.
"We're over."
"No..." Lu Xulin manages a strained smile. "Baby, can you calm down and think about it? I really was wrong."
She can't calm down.
Song Youhe drags her suitcase out of the apartment, ignores the messages Lu Xulin sends, and strides away as fast as she can.
Just as she thought, relationships are the most unstable things in the world. Falling in love in the first place was a mistake.
Lost in thought, she crosses the street and suddenly hears a deafening crash. Pain wracks her body, and everything goes black.
When she wakes again, she hears the clear sound of students reading aloud. At the front of the classroom, the teacher taps an eraser against the blackboard, making a shrill noise.
Sunlight sways. Song Youhe wakes from a doze during morning reading at high school.
She meets Lu Xulin's gaze. Lu Xulin is holding a pen, as if Song Youhe just interrupted her while she was working on a problem.
Fate has given her another chance, sending her back to high school, to a time when their relationship hadn't yet changed.
Song Youhe's heart trembles, but she doesn't notice the mist that passes through Lu Xulin's eyes.
Learning from the past, she makes a decision.
She'll get along with Lu Xulin properly, nip trouble in the bud, and stay away from living together and falling in love.
Absolutely, positively, no getting involved with this person again.
