The saying "extreme joy begets sorrow" perfectly described Dong Xuebin's current situation.
After holding hands with Qu Yunxuan, whom he had secretly loved for so long, on Saturday, Dong Xuebin could no longer fit anything else into his head. He spent all Sunday with Aunt Xuan—shopping for groceries with her, cooking with her, watching TV with her. Other than going to the bathroom and sleeping, they were practically together the entire time. Dong Xuebin thoroughly enjoyed the ambiguous feeling that stirred whenever their hands brushed against each other. But because his mind had been elsewhere, he did not remember until he opened his eyes on Monday morning that he had forgotten something—something huge. And so began the most nerve-racking day of his life.
He had actually forgotten to use Sunday's back.
Dong Xuebin still did not fully understand the back ability that had appeared after the car accident. He only knew that back could turn time back one minute and could only be used once per day. When he had first started experimenting with it, Dong Xuebin had adhered to the principle of "using it every day." Even if nothing happened that day, he would use up back before going to bed. From before he had passed the Civil Servants exam until the Saturday before last... that habit had never once been broken. Dong Xuebin had considered what would happen if he did not use back one day, but he had not dared to test it or gamble on it. Having tasted the benefits of back, there was no way he could ever part with the thing. What if the condition for keeping it was using it every day? What if failing to use it meant it would be gone the next day? Where would Dong Xuebin go to cry
