Xiang Yu returned twenty years back, inhabiting the body of her seven-year-old self. Everything she had lost in the past, some she had not yet lost, and some she had never possessed, came flooding back to her. Once again, she encountered her fate, but this time fate granted her a chance to start anew, to mend her regrets one by one.
Xiang Yu slowly adapted to the past, but she, who used to be carefree and lively as a child in her previous life, began to become less talkative and smile less, with a detachment and silence that didn't match her childish peers. Her daily playmates, such as Wu Hanxing, who went to school with her every day, were the first to notice that something was wrong with her. In her previous life, they were neighbors who lived upstairs and downstairs in the attic, close enough to slip notes through the cracks in the wooden floor, knowing each other's daily meals, misdeeds, and secrets. In the past life, a group of children in the alley often played together, running through the streets and alleys of old houses playing hide and seek, playing house together, Xiang Yu liked reading, sometimes she would tell stories from the books she read to everyone, sometimes they would create their own adventure stories together and assign roles to act out. But in this life, Xiang Yu wanted a new life, there were too many things she had to think about, she refused Wu Hanxing's invitations several times, so much so that Wu Hanxing stopped coming to call her to school. Her grandmother asked her, "Dear, did you two have a fight? Why didn't you go to school with Hanxing?" Yue Yu smiled at her grandmother, "Granny, don't worry, it'll be fine in a couple of days." Thinking about the future but also attending to the present, Xiang Yu pondered how to get along well with her little friends.
Coincidentally, on this day after school, Zhou Siping brought a new plastic bowling toy to play with her, so she took him to find Wu Hanxing. Zhou Siping's family was well-off, his grandfather used to be a small business owner, and his grandmother had been taking care of him all along, so his clothes were always more fashionable than other children's, and he had more new and clever toys. He was the only child in the family and was especially pampered, perhaps it was fate, Zhou Siping listened to her so much that later his parents insisted on recognizing her as their good daughter. Her thoughts were flying, in her previous life, when she was in her teens, they had become separated due to resettling , gradually losing contact, but she still remembered, when they parted ways, this young boy tightly held her arm, insisting on going with her. Hanxing and Siping were the most important friends in her young life, she wanted them in her future. Although, she still had some doubts, she was already 27, how could she play with everyone like she was 7? Xiang Yu couldn't help but sigh lightly, Zhou Siping said, "Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, you're like an adult now, why are you acting like an adult?" Xiang Yu couldn't help but droop her mouth, "You little brat, I'm already 27..." "Hmm, maybe because, because, I don't know why, but that's just how it is." The three children huddled together again, without needing to apologize or explain, Xiang Yu and Hanxing made up again, the world of children, so pure and clear, their love so simple and warm.
