I love the story's style; it flows smoothly, is gentle and heartwarming.
Anyway, I really like it. I especially love the female lead's character; she's so rational. However, if they can only be together in college, will the focus be on their college romance or their high school friendship? In the first few chapters, I thought the high school scenes were coming up, but if the male lead visits her every week, it seems like the story will stretch out considerably.
Honestly, I really enjoyed this book! I absolutely love the female lead's character—she's clear-headed, independent, and free-spirited. Many of her lines deeply resonated with me, and I feel the author must be very knowledgeable; many of her statements are quite philosophical.
I really liked it. The female lead's character was very well written. She wasn't fixated on romantic love. After learning about Xu Nanfeng and Zhong Huan's relationship, she quickly distanced herself from Xu Nanfeng. She even took her neighbor Zhang Yunci, whom she'd only met a few times, to the hospital when he fell ill. She was rational and kind. She always presented herself perfectly.
I love stories about childhood sweethearts growing up together, and I appreciate the author's values. If a childhood sweetheart's heart isn't with you, why force it? Excellent people have many more choices; why be hung up on one? So I don't understand why so many novels depict excellent women relentlessly pursuing and using every means to win the love of an outstanding man.
The most touching unrequited love is never a grand confession, but a long, patient wait hidden in time. It's about a boy who, over eleven years, transforms a fleeting moment of infatuation into a fulfilled love. Stripping away the exaggerated tropes of typical campus romances, the book uses delicate and gentle strokes to depict the unwavering affection of a silent boy and the tender stirrings of…
The character's values are very positive, and the female lead embodies the image of a refined young lady I imagined—decisive and straightforward. The only downside is that the ending felt a little rushed; there wasn't even a wedding! 🥺🥺🥺
A very good book, I won't comment too much. You'll know once you read on. But I want to ask the author, will they grow old together? (The fleeting images in Zhang's mind after Lin fainted were chilling... A bit like a time-travel trope, haha)
It's so good! I especially love the female lead's character. She's different from other female leads I've read in novels; she's incredibly smart, rational, and mature.
The writing is excellent, the emotions are delicate, and the female lead has a wonderful mindset. This book is super good! 🥰🥰🥰 Keep up the good work, author!
