Restart the Melody of Youth

Long Yingxun suddenly passed away on a rainy night at the age of thirty. When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the early morning of 2012. The mottled classroom walls, Kobe Bryant's posters, and the iced black tea handed to him by his deskmate Zhao Lei, everything was so familiar that it made his nose ache - this was the point where regrets in his life began.

The appearance of transfer student Lin Xi is like an unexpected note, and the melody flowing on her fingertips vaguely resonates with Chen Mo's score; Su Xiaoxiao's cousin Su Qingyuan records the corners of the campus with illustrations, and the brush seems to be tracing unspoken thoughts. When Long Yingxun hummed the pop songs of the future, the light in Lin Xi's eyes made him understand that some melodies are worth rewriting, and some people who have missed it can meet again. This is not a simple do-over, but a reconciliation with time. Under the sunshine of Ivy Middle School, he held his friend's hand and ran across the playground, listening to the girl's piano sound filling the corridor, and finally understood: the most touching thing about youth is never perfection, but the opportunity to make regrets,
