Please Give Me One Last Cigarette Tonight

The whole book felt like Xiang Bei sitting calmly beside me, telling me his story. The joys and sorrows within were like alcohol, captivating me completely.

This realistic romance novel is truly excellent. I'm commenting after reading the first three chapters, and to be honest, the writing skills are quite good. I hope you can use your hands to create a future.

When I reread this book in high school, my mindset was very different. I've started to dislike the male protagonist's character in this book, and I no longer agree with some of the values ​​it conveys. So this is the only "tenant" novel left on my bookshelf. I'm keeping it as a memento, and I probably won't open it again in the future. I recently came across a quote:

Xiang Bei's family and Ruan Ge's family are worlds apart, yet the passport incident brings these two individuals from vastly different backgrounds together. The world won't revolve around you, but you can try to keep up with its pace. I hope the female lead is Ruan Ge.

Xiang Bei learned of Wan Fei's illness beforehand and stayed by her side until her final moments, fulfilling all her wishes so she could pass away without regrets. He eventually met Ruan Ge abroad... And they ended up together, having a daughter named Xiang Nianfei. Perhaps this ending is a little easier to bear.

I finished this book. How to put it? There were so many parts that resonated with me. I felt a vivid, lifelike protagonist standing before me, telling his story. I saw Ruan Ge, heartbroken after being stood up by Xiang Bei, and it's hard to imagine how she ended up in Dalian. I also saw Wan Fei, who kept her love for Xiang Bei hidden in her heart, unwilling to express it.

I really like it. Xiangbei's life is much worse than most of ours, so don't be discouraged, live well and cheer up! It's been twelve hours already; even the donkeys in the production team dare not rest like this. I need to get back to writing!

I got to know the author through fanfiction of "The Female Tenant," and then clicked on this book. I might have subjectively compared it to "The Female Tenant," but as I read on, I realized this book is just that—a book. Wan Fei's character is vividly portrayed in this world, and the slightly essayistic writing style is more relevant to contemporary life. At least I really like it, and I think this book will be a hit.

After reading this book, I felt completely immersed in the story. I think if I were the protagonist, I would have lived a far more decadent life than Xiang Bei, perhaps even ending up saying goodbye to the world. But then I thought of my family and friends—with them by my side, what couldn't I persevere for? Life isn't always smooth sailing, but no matter what, we must live on strongly for the sake of our family and friends! I hope everyone can be happy!!!

There are two endings. The first ending is tragic because Wanfei succumbs to cancer and is unable to marry the man she has loved for eight years. The second ending is regrettable because the two people who love each other cannot be together.
