The Wild Boy and the Wild Lily

It was so heartwarming and depicted everyday life, but when I first saw that Grandpa Yao was in his sixties or seventies and Yao was only a few years old, my heart skipped a beat. I silently calculated how long Grandpa could stay with Yao. (At the time, I was thinking that Grandpa would live a very, very long time and stay with Yao for a very, very long time.)

I have to say, there was a section in the middle of the book that I found a bit uncomfortable to read, probably a lingering effect of not having read sweet romance novels for a while. However, I can't deny that I really liked the author's overall writing style; it was very delicate.

I really enjoy this kind of realistic story. Although the male lead is a "domineering CEO," he's not the unrealistic kind. The female lead is a true "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman. Both leads are outstanding, but the male lead's upbringing lacks a solid foundation. Compared to the elite education of the female lead's circle, he's a true "rags-to-riches" story.

This book is emotionally nuanced. Chen Xiuhua's maternal love for Sheng Yi is one of great achievements in every aspect; Zhu Xian's love for Zhu Yao is a warm and protective care; and Shu Yu's maternal love for Zhu Yao is also deeply moving. He understands what his children want; he is a parent with a clear sense of self and wholehearted care for his children.

Forgive my lack of eloquence in praising this book, but it's definitely one of the best I've ever read. I just want to ask the author how much of the high school portion is left; I'm quite impatient and curious.

The beginning of this book is really well written, starting from the protagonist's childhood. It's very detailed, realistic, and touching. Sheng Kai is my favorite character; I cry every time I read about his experiences. He's such a heartbreaking character.

This is a very good story. The author writes more than just fiction; it contains many insightful observations. The character Chao Nan (超楠) is named by her parents because they subconsciously felt their daughter was inferior to boys, hoping she would excel.

This is the first time I've written a review for Tomato Reading. The story has a slow pace, so you can put it down and pick it up again anytime. The book is really excellent, and the author's writing style is very comfortable to read, but unfortunately, very few people have read it, and the rating is a bit unfair.

The story is so engaging; I laughed and cried along with the characters. I especially love the story of the little white dog and the rooster, and I even wish they would never grow up... It felt so much fun and engaging when I read it in elementary school, and the little white dog in high school who seemed to have mastered everything was so funny every time I read it.

Overall, it's a good read, but I probably skipped about 40% of it. Firstly, student life is really long; reading 100 chapters is manageable, but anything beyond that becomes a bit difficult. Secondly, the romantic subplot after their reunion was a little uncomfortable. But overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits.
