Qin An, the top student in her grade’s science track, has a crush on Chi Che, a transfer student.
She carefully treasures each and every moment of him in her youth.
Once, Qin An impulsively stood up to back Chi Che and challenge their homeroom teacher for discriminating against girls, even though she knew it wasn’t wise.
She awkwardly timed her trips to the dorm, using homework to disguise her real motive: walking there with Chi Che.
She entered an essay contest, though writing was her weakest subject, just to show him another side of herself.
Over winter break, she even cut her hair to collarbone length, hoping to look prettier and catch his eye…
Chi Che was warm and outgoing, someone who did what he knew he shouldn’t. He had it all: looks, personality, grades, and talent.
They eventually became friends. With Chi Che’s help, Qin An stopped being cynical and closed off. She grew cheerful and radiant, full of hope.
Having a crush on someone is a happy thing. It changes when you want too much, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
She started wanting him to return her feelings, to notice her and like her.
Qin An borrowed lots of books from her classmates: Gibran, Camus, Kafka, Yu Hua, Mo Yan… She only wanted to have more in common with Chi Che when they talked, and she strove tirelessly to get a little closer, bit by bit.
Only when she looked back did she realize fate had been playing her for a fool.
Youthful stories are never short of unrequited love.
Classroom seats, school magazine articles, the artificial lake, streetlights, roadside trees: stories are waiting to be found everywhere. Qin An witnessed the endings of many unrequited crushes, and eventually faced her own success or failure.
That passionate, fleeting summer would eventually pass. Everything would be swallowed by the floodwaters of youth.
Secret love sometimes really makes people better. In order to chase that person, rejection and acceptance seem inevitable. The author writes well and the emotions are hazy. Instead of caring more about other people's opinions of yourself, it is better to improve yourself. After all, everyone is born for themselves. In addition, I wish everyone who has read this book will become better and more confident.
It's really good to read. Most of the secret loves are actually like what is described in this novel. There are not so many joys and sorrows. The daily life in the long flow of water is really touching. I like you and don't give up my own future because of you. When I think about it in the future, I will only feel that I was very brave at that time, so I wish you a bright future in the future!!! I also wish the author better and better!!! Really well written!!!
I never thought that I would get so much thinking in an "online" novel. Love is really a difficulty that no one can say can be easily overcome. It is precisely because I have not stumbled out easily that I can realize how tenacious and wise Qin Yu is. Fortunately, this is a gift given to us by youth, so that we can calmly face everyone who makes our heart beat in the years to come.
Author, did you get admitted to Tsinghua University? Did the prototype of the male protagonist really immigrate to the United States?
The author writes well, it's a bit cruel, it's really, really good, why is it not popular? Why?!!
Who knows? This ending makes me cry to death😭
Very beautiful, recommended 😢😢😢
Ah ah ah, it looks good, but I really want him 😢😢😢
Very nice, but I want to know if it is He or Be
