This novel is absolutely amazing 🥺 In her youth, she was his salvation, opening his heart. Years later, he restored her to her former self. The part where her father passed away was truly heartbreaking. The whole story is very delicate, and every character is so well-developed. This kind of regretful reunion after so many years seems to only exist in novels.
The boy's affection has remained unchanged. The girl's preference has never changed. Their mutual journey meant they were destined to never be apart. I really like them both. Ji Shensheng listened May they love each other forever in a parallel world.
The male lead is very affectionate, and the female lead is a ray of light in his life. The female lead is lively and cheerful, but due to some trouble at home, she was bullied by the school and chose to break up with the male lead for fear of dragging him down. Years later, the male lead's words, "I can believe anything you say," lead to their long-awaited reunion. The male lead is the female lead's salvation. It's a good story, and quite sweet, but it's also a bit heartbreaking.
So pretty! 💕 The plot was very interesting, but I really felt sorry for Ah Ting in the middle~ Especially the part where Ah Ting's dad spent the summer vacation with her, that really broke my heart 😢 If Ms. Zhao hadn't been humiliated, would A-Ting have gotten together with Ji Chengsheng after finishing the college entrance exam? Would they have both been admitted to A University? Would they have become an enviable couple in college? Keep updating! 😘😘
The story of the male and female protagonists is mainly divided into three parts: high school, college, and after they start working. The male and female protagonists meet and get to know each other in their second year of high school. Although they did not get into the same university after the college entrance examination, the male protagonist still visits the female protagonist whenever he has…
Short story! Very good, all the essentials without any unnecessary details. I really like the male lead (he's even more gentle and considerate than most novel male leads). The female lead's character is also quite good—youthful and gentle (she admits her mistakes and corrects them, and can distinguish right from wrong).
How lucky. She has been cooked into a thin porridge by time, but there are still people who dedicate their entire lives to staying with her through all four seasons. As time goes by, only love and tenderness remain. A really good short story.
This book's writing deserves more than a 9.2. Honestly, it's rare to see a book on Tomato Books that portrays emotions so delicately. Each character is very three-dimensional, and their emotions are nuanced, making it easy to empathize with the reader. The fact that the romance isn't entirely smooth sailing is excellent.
It's incredibly good. The beginning is so sweet, but the story becomes bittersweet from their breakup to their reconciliation. I especially love the line, "When I chase the light, I sail with the light." Perhaps most people who truly love each other will have a happy ending.
The part where the female lead breaks up with the male lead was so relatable. The changes in her family, the failure of her college entrance exam, the exclusion by her roommates, the gossip all came flooding in at once, and then she heard that the male lead was willing to give up his chance to study abroad for her... In short, I felt sorry for her and admired every step she took. I love it!
