Synopsis

Xia Linxi x Tang Yu

Xia Linxi is a sophomore with excellent grades and impeccable conduct. Tang Yu is a carefree bar singer.

They’re worlds apart, with nothing in common.

No one could have imagined that one day the two of them would end up together.

In a dark alley, Xia Linxi saw Tang Yu locked in an intimate embrace with a strange woman, but she simply left in silence.

She believed the man before her was nothing like the womanizing facade he showed the world.

She saw right through him at a glance.

She drew closer, step by step, and her sunlight gradually lit up the heart that had withered inside him.

The bar was packed, voices roaring through the haze. Through the dancing, singing crowd, Tang Yu’s gaze met that of a girl.

He knew he couldn’t escape her.

Their happiness was fleeting.

Late at night,

even after drinking, Tang Yu called Xia Linxi, setting aside the last vestige of his pride to beg her to come back.

“Tang Yu, I never loved you.”

Xia Linxi’s words pierced his heart, one by one.

After that, nobody ever saw Xia Linxi at the bar again.

You were the one who came closer first, but in the end, I was the one who couldn’t let go.

After that phone call, they never spoke again.

When they met again, Tang Yu had shed the burning brightness of his youth, but he still drifted through life without a care.

Yet amid the crowd, he could no longer find that familiar silhouette.

At last, the truth came to light.

Xia Linxi was sleeping forever in the icy depths of the sea, the water seeping into her bones.

That summer, a song about them spread all over the internet, but no one knew that he was walking into the sea, step by step, pushing against the waves.

The ending was a tragedy, and I'm so sad. It's like the saying in the story: "The moon failed to appear, and the sun set." Actually, I think the senior is the most pitiful one. 🥺

I don't know how the ending will be. This is the first time I've read a novel like this, and the first time I've ever read a novel in my life. I'm really curious to see what kind of person wrote this, what kind of person could write something that makes me feel so uneasy and uncomfortable. So let me share my feelings. Tang Yu and Xia Linxi are like strangers, but love can change a person.

I'm so crying! I thought it was a happy ending the whole time, but I can't believe it 😢😢. Why didn't he just call and check on her? Tang Yu, he really... I'm so heartbroken. That senior was really nice too, he liked the female lead so much.

Sob sob, it's so good 😭 I originally thought Xia Linxi was Tang Yu's salvation and they could be happily together, but the ending was so unexpected! I feel so sorry for the second male lead, he liked the female lead for so long but still couldn't be with the girl he loved 😢😢

The family members' story, "Seeing Spring," features protagonists named Wei Qingyue and Jiang Du. This is a sweeter story, though the more tragic one is also titled "Seeing Spring."

I absolutely love this novel 📖! The writing is excellent, the environmental descriptions are beautiful, and the titles of each chapter are novel and eye-catching. It perfectly showcases the fragmented beauty of a tragic ending. I love the heroine's gentleness and the contrast between the male lead's behavior when they first meet and after they get to know each other!

Later, the moon sank into the sea, and the sun set.

This book truly broke me. I could clearly feel their deep love, from their initial cautiousness to their later companionship. They could have loved each other forever, but the villain separated them. At times, I genuinely disliked the female lead because her ignorance burdened her with immense pressure. I felt genuine sympathy for her; no one understood her.

After watching "See Summer," I finally understand why it's called "See Summer." They met in summer and parted ways in summer. Lin Xi died, and Tang Yu prayed to heaven, "I've never believed in gods, but if I could ask them to bring you back, I would gladly pray fervently before the temple." But in the end, Lin Xi still lay on the cold seabed. The beginning was sweet, but the ending was incredibly heartbreaking; I cried so much.

There was no farewell, no lingering affection; nothing in the world changed, but her laughter could never be heard again. What he didn't know was that he would never see his moon again. Xia Linxi Tang Yu The aftereffects are too strong, I feel terrible.
