This Is an Old Sweet Treat

Mu Bai and Qin Qiuruo spent 60 years of their lives together.

When they were young, they weathered countless hardships and setbacks, yet they never let go of each other's hands.

At 78, just before her death, Mu Bai held Qin Qiuruo's hand and said, "If we could start over... if there were another life... let me be the one to pursue you, and give you a passionate, romantic youth."

As a teenager, Mu Bai never dreamed that the school beauty, Qin Qiuruo, would pursue her.

She had always thought of herself as timid, withdrawn, and unremarkable.

Even now, she still didn't know what Qin Qiuruo had seen in her, or what had made her brave enough to take the first step in such a conservative era.

She had always felt she owed her.

Then one day, Mu Bai woke up.

To her astonishment, she had really returned to her youth, and the classmate sitting beside her was Qin Qiuruo, the woman who had shared her whole life.

She looked up at the date on the calendar: 2023.

Could anything make a person happier than having a dream come true?

This time, she decided to live a different life.

She confessed her feelings in front of their friends.

She walked hand in hand with her under the sun.

She kissed her beneath the blooming cherry blossoms.

But gradually, Mu Bai realized that their lives had completely switched places.

She had gained everything that should have belonged to Qin Qiuruo.

And Qin Qiuruo had suffered all the hardships that should have been hers.

Then came the day Mu Bai planned to propose. Beneath a sky full of stars, she wanted to tell Qin Qiuruo everything, including the fact that she had been reborn and taken over Qin Qiuruo's life.

Qin Qiuruo stood on the rooftop, her slender figure framed by her windblown skirt. Whose eyes had it caught?

Mu Bai went over, anxious and nervous. Just as she struggled to find the words, Qin Qiuruo turned around, her delicate fingers touching the wedding necklace she had worn all her life. Her eyes red, she murmured, "I know what you're going to say."

"I just want you to know that having you again is worth everything to me."

Yezi's next book, Be Good, is finally getting its turn. I'm hiding my face.

The first time Chu Xinrou saw Qiao Xiaoxiao, she was wearing a faded T-shirt and jeans, standing behind her uncle and looking around in fear.

Qiao Xiaoxiao had gone from a rural middle school to the county's top high school, and her excellent grades spoke for themselves. But no matter what anyone around her said, she always kept her head down, her long eyelashes fluttering. She was withdrawn and insecure.

By chance, Chu Xinrou noticed purple bruises on her arms and body. She did everything she could to help Qiao Xiaoxiao, guiding her out of her shell little by little until she finally saw a smile in her eyes.

From childhood on, Qiao Xiaoxiao had worshipped Chu Xinrou like a goddess.

Once, Chu Xinrou smiled and ruffled her hair. "Be good. Study hard, get into a top university, and after you graduate, you'll be able to start a new life of your own."

Qiao Xiaoxiao looked up at the older girl who treasured her above all else and asked softly, "Sis, if I get into university and graduate, will you grant me one wish?"

Chu Xinrou gazed at her and gently nodded.

Qiao Xiaoxiao's eyes burned brightly. "You promise?"

Chu Xinrou smiled. "I promise."

Four years later, Qiao Xiaoxiao graduated, and hurried to Chu Xinrou to claim the wish she'd been promised.

Chu Xinrou looked at the girl who had once been so small and relied on her, now half a head taller, and listened to what she said in shock and disbelief.

The lonely, sheltered little girl who knew nothing about the world had grown up.

Qiao Xiaoxiao pulled Chu Xinrou down from her pedestal. Fixing her gaze on Chu Xinrou's lips, she murmured the words she had once heard so often: "Be good."
