Xiang Yu's heart was both sweet and sorrowful. Seeing Lu Heng in this life, growing up with him, dancing together—how beautiful it was. But in the previous life, whenever Xiang Yu thought about it, she felt sadness. They had gone to the west part of China together, and during the trip, Xiang Yu realized Lu Heng's worth. She suddenly discovered that she had grown too accustomed to Lu Heng's companionship and care. He was always there if she was willing to look back. After returning to Hu City from the travel, they started discussing marriage. They were busy but very happy every day. Once Xiang Yu untied her emotional knots, she found new motivation and was no longer so awkward. She let go of Xiao Zhanyuan and also freed herself. They were two similar, lonely youths who had grown up alone.
Several times, Xiang Yu wanted to confess to Lu Heng about Xiao Zhanyuan, but Lu Heng wouldn't let her. He said, "You did nothing wrong, and there's no need to apologize. Xiang Yu, I've loved you for almost ten years. I probably know you better than you do. The two of us will be fine. Trust me."
Once, they went camping. Just after setting up the tent, it started to rain. They huddled together, wrapped in sleeping bags, watching the misty rain outside. They talked about their future. Lu Heng said he hoped to have a daughter who could be like Xiang Yu, well-behaved and beautiful. He would love both of them, and then he would be the happiest man in the world. But later, they never had the chance to start that new life. Even now, when Xiang Yu saw Xiao Zhanyuan, she couldn't remain calm. She couldn't understand why Xiao Zhanyuan wanted her dead but ended up killing Lu Heng instead.
After a restless night, a new day began in the morning light. Both Lu Heng and Xiang Yu hadn't slept well and wore tired expressions. But Lu Heng was clearly happy and energetic, while Xiang Yu seemed a bit listless. Lu Heng was worried and asked if she was tired or if it was because of what he had said. "Xiang Yu, don't take it to heart too much. Really, whatever you do is fine. Anyway, I'll always follow you."
"I'm fine, just didn't sleep well yesterday. I'll rest well today and recover. You, don't overthink. Focus on your studies. Will you pass the Level 2 athlete test? If you do, you'll have a better chance of getting into the sports academy."
"Ah, Xiang Yu," Lu Heng sighed deeply. "You really are... really..."
"Really what?" Xiang Yu asked.
"Really deserve to be you." Lu Heng gave her a thumbs-up. "If I get in, it will be thanks to you."
"How can it be thanks to me? If you get in, it's because of your own hard work. You deserve the credit. Alright, did you memorize yesterday's vocabulary? How about the classical chinese? Let's quiz each other."
Xiang Yu opened the Chinese textbook. "Come on, let's start and not waste time."
Lu Heng gave Xiang Yu another reluctant thumbs-up and unwillingly started reciting.
