Xiaowu often thinks about what would have happened if he had not promised his parents and come to this strange city to start his life again. Then she should still be with her boyfriend now, she would still live under the protection of Zhen's mother, and she would still be noisy with a group of best friends. She also knew that this was just a what-if, so she didn't think too deeply about such unnecessary questions. She just misses the past days. Compared to the present days, she doesn't know whether she should be happy or sad now.
Perhaps her life will be full of contradictions, or perhaps she is a contradictory person herself.
