Our eyes locked, and for a heart–stopping second, it felt like yesterday.
Just a moment ago, it seemed, he was whispering my name in bed, gently soothing me after we’d made love. We had been married for three years, and we were planning to have a child.
Then I woke up, and I was eighteen again.
The young man before me was no longer the man I knew.
At eighteen, Shaffer Astor did not love Luna. Jy
Yet, at this moment, he was looking at me with a flicker of confusion. “Have we… met somewhere before?”
I paused. For three years of high school, I had been buried in my books. We’d had zero interaction. Even after I became Scarlett’s deskmate this semester, she was too busy with Zane to ever give Shaffer the time of day, forbidding him from even coming to our classroom to see her.
Why would he suddenly ask me that?
Before I could answer, a panicked Scarlett cut in. She shoved me aside, planting herself in front of Shaffer. “Shaffer, don’t be ridiculous! She’s just some girl from the middle of nowhere. How could she possibly have ever crossed paths with us?”
Shaffer’s gaze wavered, but he eventually nodded. “Sorry. I must have been mistaken.”
He handed me the notebook I’d dropped. It was open to a page where I’d scribbled dense formulas, solving the most difficu em from the national competition.
Shaffer looked surprised. “You actually solved it? Can I see your methodology?”
Shaffer was the top student in our entire year, but he had skipped the competition for Scarlett’s sake.
Instantly, Scarlett tensed up and shatched the notebook from his hand. “Shaffer, why are you asking her? Her score wasn’t even possibly have? Besides, if even you couldn’t solve it, how could she?”

“Shaffer, you’re not even asking if I was scared… Don’t you care about me anymore?”
She looked like she was on the verge of tears. Having been reborn, she was terrified of making a single misstep, of repeating the mistakes of

The chat was filled with reassurances.

[Chat Is the person above me brainwashed by the plot? It’s obvious the later events were plot–driven. The MC is just a country girl. How could she ever compare to the heiress! Besides, who knows if her intentions toward the male lead were pure in the first place?]
Not good enough for Shaffer. This wasn’t the first time I’d heard those words.
In college, we began collaborating on research projects. Even our professors said we were intellectual equals, a perfect match.
But no one ever said we were suited to be together, to get married.
Because a single cufflink Shaffer wore was worth more than I could earn in a year. Meanwhile, I was still wearing a pair of canvas shoes that had been washed until they were faded and white.
Class was an abyss that an ordinary person could strive their entire life to cross and still never reach.
