"From the moment I was born, I've had the same dream every day, where the same day repeats itself endlessly."
"What did you do in your dream?"
"Robbed banks, blew up buildings, flirted with girls, joyrode in luxury cars... Since it was a dream, naturally, I did a lot of lawless things."

Yu Xi's baby-face shape suited ponytails quite well.


But her hair was too short to tie a proper ponytail, and this pityfully short ponytail sometimes looked really quite comical.
