It was my first time to read this type of novel, but after reading a few chapters, I felt that this was the most beautiful release of youth. The people who follow you and the people who like you are two completely different types of people. The most innocent crush and ambiguity when you were young are always the hardest for people to forget. Xia Wenxi is in line with most girls in the world. She is very ordinary, but she also has her own unique character. She is very passionate when chasing stars. Until she actually meets the "star" in her heart, it is obviously only one step away, but it seems like she is separated by an endless wall. The alienation in the eyes of the sea and "Xingxing" made me understand a truth: "I know him and feel familiar with him, but he defeated my passion with reality and his true self..." There are regrets and disappointments, but it was I who fell in love with Xingxing first.
Everyone wants a time machine to go back and tell their younger self not to choose this path, choose something else.
The heroine is a person suffering from mental illness. Because her beloved boy (Ye Youning) died in front of her two years ago, she imagined a series of plots and a sunny and cheerful boy like Lin Jiaqi. Ye Youning has a somewhat gloomy personality due to family reasons. The heroine invented Lin Jiaqi because she hoped that Ye Youning could become such a sunny person. All in all, the ending is quite sad. Those who are interested must read it carefully, or read it twice or three times, because the author has buried many hidden clues, requiring readers to infer the plot of the story.
The author's book is a good explanation of youth. The style is different from others, and the feelings are also very different. As mentioned in the article, they are obviously the same Chinese characters, and there are no gorgeous words. Why do they have such a magical and refreshing effect when combined in her writing? The very ordinary text gave me a very surprising experience, just like a landscape painting. The very light ink dotted the blank canvas, giving me shock and calm. The two very contradictory words made me feel that they were the most suitable words to describe this article. The very plain text attracted me to read like magic, making me calm down inexplicably, and I was shocked by the ending. If you're interested, it's a good second read. You can think more and reason about the plot while reading.
The youth that cannot be returned will always be engraved in the corridor of memory.
It's very beautiful, but it's a pity that we are not together
Personally, I think the novel is better than the TV series. However, the casting of the TV series is so consistent with the characters in the novel that when I read the book, I was automatically drawn into the actors in the TV series without any sense of dissonance. I don't know whether to say that the writing style of the novel is good or bad. It is very little four-style, with a lot of rhetoric and a little bit of nonsense, but it is very consistent with the character of Xia Wenxi, a high school student. After all, in adolescence, small things are like big things, and the mood fluctuates every day. Some of the writing is incomprehensible, and some parts are hard to understand, so I have to read them again and again. Sometimes, even after reading them many times, I still feel that some parts of the book have been deleted. The plot twist is also inexplicable. One second it was talking about event A and the next second it changed to event B. But excluding these, it is a very good novel. In the end, it was discovered that it was Xia Wenxi's dream when she was ill, and she suddenly realized that there were actually some hints in the previous article. For example, she went to see a psychiatrist, some of the more contradictory plots, and the dream she had on the bus. The most pity is that Lin Jiaqi does not exist. What a good young man.
After watching an episode of the drama version, I started reading the novel. To be honest, the novel and the drama version are different except for the name of the protagonist. Personally, I think the novel and the drama version are both good.
This novel was a bit confusing to read, and I didn't understand some parts. It's suitable for reading more. I saw in the comment area that it was made into a film and television. I also watched the drama version (Cycle of First Love). The drama version has nothing to do with the novel. Except for the names of the heroine and male lead, Xia Wenxi's mobile phone and Mayday, everything else has nothing to do with it. But there is one thing to say, the drama version is also okay, but it can also be regarded as a magic modification.
This is my second review. The writing is very good and the story is detailed and shocking.
