"Forget about our past grievances,"

"The cherry blossoms have bloomed several times,"

"A trip to Tokyo seems a lifetime away..."

As Chen Yifei listened to this song, he closed his eyes, and tears streamed down his face.

He could sense that this was the end of his life.

In that era of rapid development, seizing opportunities and building one's own business empire from scratch, while drinking to the point of stomach bleeding, it was only a matter of time before one's body was overdrawn and died young.

He had long since let it go.

There is only one obsession that has lasted for many years...

Because of him, a girl's life was forever cut short at the age of nineteen...

Chen Yifei lived a lonely life, never marrying or having children, and lived his entire life in guilt.

If he could do it all over again, he would definitely wake up sooner, mature sooner, and not let that innocent young educated youth die. He would definitely protect the person who should be protected.

If there is an afterlife, I hope I can make it up to her properly.

...

When Chen Yifei woke up again, he did not feel the heaviness and age that he had experienced; in fact, he felt very light.

I could also smell a faint aroma of alcohol.

What came into view was a bare, mud-brick house.

Turning my head, I saw a kettle and an enamel basin on the old cabinet.

This place looks familiar, it seems to be... the small side room of my own house, the side room opposite the main house.

1980?

He got up and wanted to touch it to see if he had arrived in the underworld.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, he touched a soft spot.

He then looked to his side in surprise, where the girl next to him had ambiguous marks on her body.

This old-fashioned bed sheet, sewn with needle and thread, was badly wrinkled.

What happened last night is self-evident.

Chen Yifei quickly covered her body with the blanket.

That's absurd!

Isn't this the night he and He Runqing spent together back then?

Could it be a dream?

A dying person always dreams of the person they feel most guilty towards.

Chen Yifei got up and tapped his head, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

I can't remember a single detail about last night...

Not to mention that he doesn't remember why He Runqing, a young educated youth, was lying in his bed, decades have passed for him, how could he remember those details?

I tapped my head; it hurt terribly… No, it wasn’t a hallucination!

He pinched his leg again, and the pain brought tears to his eyes.

I've traveled through time?

No, it's rebirth!!!

He accepted this fact, and He Runqing also woke up.

Her black hair, tied into two small braids, was a little messy. She stared with wide eyes, looking pitiful as if she was holding back a sob, and tears welled up in her eyes.

He looked somewhat at a loss.

She lifted the covers and looked at herself, even more incredulous. She covered her eyes, unwilling to look at Chen Yifei.

Large tears rolled down his cheeks, burning Chen Yifei's heart.

His feelings were complicated; it had been the same in his past life...

In 1980, the wave of educated youth returning to the cities began.

He Runqing was one of them; he was already on the list. Last night, the educated youth and the brigade were supposed to have a farewell dinner together, and He Runqing happened to be sitting with Chen Yifei.

There had been no prior contact.

But that night, everything changed dramatically.

He couldn't see clearly in his past life, but in this life, Chen Yifei already knew.

Where are there so many coincidences?

It must have been the people at that educated youth settlement who wanted to snatch the spots to return to the city, and they deliberately caused the mistake last night.

The matter was left unresolved after He Runqing died in his previous life.

Chen Yifei is determined to find out the truth no matter what.

He said, "Comrade He Runqing, listen to me, this matter is not so simple, I am also one of the victims."

"They must have framed me..."

Chen Yifei wanted to finish quickly and make things clear so that the girl wouldn't do anything rash.

Because, based on the course of events from the previous generation, the villagers and the educated youth from the settlement will soon be coming to catch them in the act of adultery...

However, it was still too late for them to travel through time.

Chen Yifei had not yet explained it clearly.

The door was kicked open.

Fortunately, He Runqing was covered with a blanket by him. As for himself, he put on a military green shirt and shorts and sat on the edge of the bed.

The one who kicked open the door was Chen Yifei's fiancée, Zheng Fang, the village beauty.

Chen Yifei's father was the captain of Yongquan Brigade. Zheng Fang and he grew up together. In addition, Chen Yifei was good-looking, so his family and Zheng Fang's family were engaged long ago and could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Plus, the wedding is tomorrow...

At this moment, she pointed at Chen Yifei and cried, "Ah! Chen Yifei, you've wronged me."

"What have you done? We're about to get married, and you're with He Runqing?"

"You despicable couple, how am I supposed to face anyone after this?"

He was about to slap He Runqing.

Zheng Fang has a fiery personality and will hit anyone she wants.

But Chen Yifei caught the outstretched hand.

"Zheng Fang, you are not qualified." Chen Yifei said coldly.

Zheng Fang was somewhat at a loss. Chen Yifei had been her follower for so many years, and whatever he said went. No one dared to disobey her.

How dare you speak like that at a time like this?

Zheng Fang found it somewhat unbelievable...

When did Chen Yifei, that good-for-nothing hoodlum, become like this? His whole demeanor has changed.

She's annoyed.

He said, "Chen Yifei, what do you mean?"

"You're protecting her?"

He Runqing was very embarrassed. She was a pampered young lady from the city, and even in the village, she was different from everyone else. She was gentle to everyone and never thought that this day would come.
