Chapter 1: Going back to 10 years ago overnight one
The warm sunshine shines on me. I turn over comfortably. The soft quilt exudes a sweet smell. I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time! Suddenly, an annoying alarm clock sounded. It's really annoying, but when did I set the alarm clock? I turned off the alarm clock in a daze, stretched my body, opened my eyes facing the sunshine, light blue walls, a chandelier with floating clouds, and a big sunflower sticker on the wall. I was about to smile and say that the morning was beautiful, but I found something wrong. Is this my home? I rubbed my eyes... Wait, something seems to be wrong?
My bedroom is obviously in black and white minimalist style, with white sheets and black quilts, and a few black lotus flowers sparsely painted on the snow-white walls. Don't ask me why the bedroom decoration is so weird, it's not to cater to the weirdo An Yixuan, who particularly likes the Japanese cold style. In order to show that I have good taste, I have made my bedroom look like a magazine picture. If this is not my bedroom, then where am I now?
I was lying on a pink princess bed, covered with a pink quilt. On the wall next to the bed were photos of popular idol groups from 10 years ago. 10 years ago... Oh my god! I covered my mouth and almost screamed. This... This was actually my bedroom 10 years ago! And 10 years ago... was the year I just entered high school...
I looked down at the blue fat man nightgown I was wearing. This was the same nightgown as the comic strip that I bought with my own savings. Although I wanted to mock my childish aesthetics, this was not the point! Am I dreaming? I jumped out of bed and looked around. There were notebooks and exercise books scattered on the dressing table. The little rabbit-shaped eraser had no head. I was reluctant to throw away the horn comb under the notebook. This was really 10 years ago! I looked up at myself in the mirror. My short hair was piled on my head. My eyes were confused. I touched my white and tender face and asked myself in disbelief, "Am I traveling through time? Or is time going backwards? Am I really back to 10 years ago?"
I sat on the chair with my eyes wide open in disbelief, thinking carefully about what happened? Was I dreaming? I pinched my thigh hard, "It hurts!" The pain was so strong that tears welled up in my eyes. It seemed that it was not a dream, the pain was so clear... I closed my eyes and took a deep breath . What did I experience before? What happened before I went to sleep? Take your time and think about it carefully...
I thought of An Yixuan, the man I both loved and hated, that drunken night, and those days of confusion and heartbreak. Well, then there was the scene of meeting An Yixuan at the doorstep after get off work that day, the thin and melancholy An Yixuan standing in the dusk. It was that day that I fainted after a few words to him... What happened after I fainted? Did I go back to 10 years ago, or did time go backwards? No, if I went back to 10 years ago, I should still be 16 years old, so am I really only 16 years old now? My life has started over again? 16 years old... My memory began to spin.
"My dear daughter, you have finally been admitted to high school. You will be a big kid in the future. Keep working hard." Dad said excitedly while holding the admission letter from Seyo High School.
"Although it's not the most famous St. John's, getting into Saint John's is also great. The most important thing is that our baby grows up happily." Although my mother has always hoped that I would be admitted to St. John's, a top high school, she never forced me to study like other monster parents.
"Seyo is not bad. Mom and Dad, I will study hard and try to get into a good university!" I promised with a pat on my chest. Of course, I was finally admitted to the very famous Andes College, and met An Yixuan, who might be destined to meet.
Dad and Mom, they have always loved me so much. Even after I got together with An Yixuan, they continued to support me as always. Dad almost wanted to teach An Yixuan a lesson because of the breakup!
"Our baby has been spoiled since childhood, how could he be bullied by that brat?" Mom pouted and accused An Yixuan.
"That's right , it's us who don't want him. There are many good men. Dad will pick a better one for you." Dad's face was filled with indignation.
"If you ask me, I shouldn't have moved seven years ago. If I hadn't moved, I wouldn't have met that bad boy."
"Hey, why are you talking about moving again? Even if you don't move, you will still encounter the same problems."
The reason why An Yixuan and I met was because I lived next door to him when we moved 7 years ago. Although I had heard that he was a top student, I had no chance to get close to him before that. Moreover, he was always so arrogant that people who were not familiar with him could not get close to him. It was also one of my regrets that I did not get to know him earlier...
Stop, did I remember the point?
St. John's... Isn't that the high school that An Yixuan attended? I missed out on St. John's by one point. If it was 10 years ago, An Yixuan would also be 16 years old! Wouldn't I be able to be with him 10 years earlier? I screamed, quickly changed my clothes and ran out of the house. The streets 10 years ago were familiar yet strange, old streets covered with ivy, and alleys with unknown wild flowers. I ran to the street to take a taxi. I could hardly distinguish between dreams and reality in the heavy traffic, and finally an empty car stopped beside me.
"Little sister, where are you going?" the fat driver asked me with a smile. In that era, it was popular for taxi drivers to wear hats of the same specifications, which looked really retro.
I touched my head and wondered where An Yixuan lived at that time. If I remember correctly, it should be the Xingfu Road Community.
"Well, I'm going to Xingfu Road Community." I blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable. I really didn't know whether to call the driver uncle or brother.
The taxi was driving on the road, and many familiar scenes were replayed like a movie. My brain kept asking myself in confusion: "Am I really back to the age of 16?" It should be true. The city 10 years ago was still full of plane trees, and the popular songs 10 years ago were jumping into my ears.
If I really go back to the age of 16... I think of countless novels and movies. How can I rewrite my life? Can I change the story with An Yixuan? An Yixuan, can our fate be rewritten?
"Little sister, we're here." The driver reminded me kindly.
"Ah, we're here!" I jumped out of the car and looked at the huge name of the community in front of me. This is it, An Yixuan's family lives here! I can definitely meet 16-year-old An Yixuan here!
"Well, little sister, you haven't paid yet!" The driver uncle in the car looked at me with embarrassment.
Money! I suddenly came to my senses. I didn’t bring any money! I actually ran out without any money! My face quickly turned red as if I had a fever. What should I do?
"You're not going to default on your debt, are you? You're just a student, you can't ride in the car for free." The driver was afraid that I would run away, so he got off the bus and stood in front of me.
I suddenly felt guilty and lacked the confidence to speak: "Uncle, I am really a student. I was in a hurry to go out today so I forgot to bring money..."
"Forgetting to bring money is not an excuse. Otherwise, call your parents." The driver took out his cell phone and waved it in front of me.
I was about to continue speaking when a familiar figure suddenly appeared opposite me. His appearance seemed to have a halo that attracted all my attention. His big eyes under his thick eyebrows were as black as ink jade, his tall and straight nose was three-dimensional like a sculpture, and he had a pair of dimples on his pale pink lips. He was 1.8 meters tall with a strong body and a handsome face. Except for being a little more immature than the adult An Yixiuan, he was exactly the same!
