One day, Single Yi, a high school freshman, came home after school and found that his room had turned a shocking shade of pink. His parents had secretly made a deal with the parents of his childhood friend, Yu Xiaoye, and switched the kids! The boy and girl were forced to begin a strange “life swap.” They discovered each other’s secrets in their respective rooms and experienced the remarkable differences between boys and girls. She loved snacks and the color pink, and stayed up late boosting her idol’s popularity online. He disliked sweets, loved basketball, and stayed up late to finish his video games.
Just as they couldn’t understand why boys and girls had so many strange differences, they also didn’t realize that the differences between them were about more than gender. They were rooted in the years they had spent growing up together. In kindergarten, she would bawl when she didn’t get enough candy, so he always saved his share for her. In third grade, he fell and hurt his leg on a rainy day, and she stayed with him in the hospital for half a month. In seventh grade, she would hold an umbrella for him on rainy days, while he had already gotten used to opening her soda bottle for her. Now, when they look into each other’s eyes, they see themselves reflected in them. They don’t yet understand what it means, but from that moment on, sunny days and rainy days, dawn and dusk, all feel different... Midway through their youth, this little “exchange journey” gradually helps them discover that among all the small, overlooked moments of growing up together, there is another side of each other they never knew.
I learned about it through the little lady of Yilin when I was in junior high school. At that time, I didn't have a mobile phone, so I just went to the bookstore to read books every weekend, and I didn't have the money to buy them. Not long after I read the Yilin issue, I saw this book at the bottom of the most remote bookshelf in the bookstore. That bookshelf is where Among all kinds of miscellaneous books, this book was the only one left. I was so excited. However, it had a plastic cover and could not be read in the store. I was worried that the book would have been bought next time I came there. In the end, I spent all the money I had that day. Fortunately, it was almost enough. Actually, it's not much, maybe in the mid-twenties. I was so happy after I got it. It's quite strange. I obviously have a lot of books, even a lot. My mother is very happy to buy me all kinds of books. I also like them. At that age, I had already bought a lot of books by myself. But getting this book still feels different... Like meeting an idol? It should be the blessing of the little lady Yilin. I have almost forgotten the content, but one of the protagonists is named Shan Yi. I remember this very clearly, because the story has a homophone for "goodwill", and there is an ending. I still feel that this book is not finished, because they and the girl who left have not officially met and reconciled, and their story is not over yet... It seems to be the enthusiasm for the "dumpling-making" style ending when I was a child. When I type these words, I have not yet started to review this book. I don't know if it is still a book worthy of 5 stars when I face it in its current state. But my first encounter with it was not now, but 6 years ago, when I was 12 years old. To me at that time, it was undoubtedly worth it. Okay, I'm going to watch it, and I'll review it again after I've finished it. (Os: I just suddenly thought of this book. I couldn't find it on Douyin. I didn't expect that Tomato actually has it. How can it not be a kind of destined fate~)
I really want to see the follow-up, please, please, what happened to Ai Xin?
Very interesting, very beautiful, highly recommended [learned it]
I really like this book. I read it for the first time when I was in junior high school and bought the physical book. Now that I have graduated from high school and read it again, it really reminds me of my youth. Is there any follow-up? I'm really looking forward to it 😢
Is there a second season?
Very interesting, everyone has their own story
