His childhood was like a corner that was not exposed to the sun. He had no possessions and never expected to gain anything; her world was like a bright and warm world, always doing whatever she wanted and never feeling the sadness of losing. At the age of 13, he became the adopted son of her family, and he has been cautious ever since. Because of his different status and circumstances, her love made him feel like he was carrying the heaviest shell. He longed for the sweetness in it, but did not dare to overstep it in any way. An accident exposed their secret to the reality of their parents' obstruction, but this made him decide to break through the shackles and be with her without hesitation. However, they separated in the days when they loved each other the most, just like a flower that blooms to the extreme and faces withering...

"Branded Time"
Like the light spots shining through the sycamore leaves on a summer afternoon, falling on the thin shoulders of a 13-year-old boy - it was the first time he walked into her house, with the cold air of the orphanage, but his fingertips were burned red by the half piece of strawberry candy handed by the girl. In the days that followed, he would always be half a step behind her, watching her run through the corridor with her high ponytail, listening to her chirping about interesting things about school, hiding those moments in a corner that only he knew like a collection of glass marbles.
Love in books is never vigorous. It was the rustling sound of the pen tip scratching across the draft paper when she stayed up late to help him with math; it was him who secretly stuffed her favorite dried mango into his schoolbag, but when she discovered it, he blushed and said "it was handy"; it was the day when it rained heavily that he tilted the umbrella towards her, half of his shoulders were soaked, but he only dared to secretly tighten the soaked corners of his clothes when she turned around. Those unspeakable likes spread quietly through time like vines, entangling the inferiority complex of young people and the ignorance of young girls.
The most painful thing was later. When the two words "adopted son" became a knife in the middle, and when the parents' tears hit their hearts, he finally let go of her hand late one night and said, "Let's forget it." But the book says that when she chased him out, she saw that his back was turned to her, and his shoulders were shaking like leaves in the autumn wind. It turns out that I let go a little bit, not because I don't love you, but because I love you so much that I feel I can't afford it.
It turns out that what Nana wrote was not a story, but the wrinkles that we all have had that have been burned into our hearts by time - those clumsy loves, those moments that we didn't dare to get close to because we cared too much, those people who we thought we would remember forever, but suddenly remembered one afternoon.
Time will go by, but some marks will always touch you gently at an inadvertent moment, letting you know that it was great to have loved so hard.

Ji Xucheng Luo Zichu
In the future, "we" will never be able to meet the unforgettable love before₍ᐢ⸝⸝› ̫ ‹⸝⸝ᐢ₎
I like it and will continue to read the author's books
Well, Nana, did Xiaochu and Ah Cheng get back together in the end?
This book resonates with me very much. Just like the friends around me, they will also encounter various difficulties and setbacks. Luo Zichu in the book reminded me of a friend of mine, who was always cautious and did not dare to express his true thoughts. I hate Luo Zichu's mother in the book. She is too nervous about Xiao Cheng and puts a lot of pressure on her child. However, this book also made me understand that we must face our own hearts bravely and not let external factors affect our growth. Overall, this is a book worth reading, it will make you feel the beauty and warmth of life.
I think there is a very small chance that they will end up together. Considering many factors, people who love each other may not end up together.
They went around in a big circle, but they still couldn't reach the end.
This OE article is pretty good
If the weather is sunny, I wish you all good health and happiness!
A very high-quality novel, without as many routines as other novels
The whole story is quite sweet and fascinating to watch...
