[Desk mates | One-on-one romance | Mutual devotion | College entrance exams | Ensemble elements | Happy ending]
[Tsundere top student x straightforward puppy]
*
After failing her middle school entrance exams, the girl is in despair when she meets a boy as dazzling as the summer in her name.
His cool, minty voice, along with the July breeze, sweeps away the gloom.
Later, when her first year of high school begins, he becomes her desk mate.
He introduces himself: “My name is Yu Sheng. Please take care of me.”
They spend a long summer together, then share the snowfall that blankets the world in winter.
*
Another summer comes around.
A momentous decision about whether to focus on arts or sciences briefly separates them.
It's the first time the girl has broken a promise.
Yu Sheng's eyes turn red as he says, looking aggrieved, “But we agreed.”
*
After the college entrance exams, the girl breaks her promise for a second time.
This time, Yu Sheng says nothing. He just stubbornly purses his lips.
Every “Mind your own business” he says really means “Hurry up and pay attention to me.”
This time, the girl holds on tight to the boy. In a quiet corner where no one is paying attention, on a summer night, they share their first kiss.
At last, she admits that every day with him feels like summer.

A few notes before you read:
The main story is told in first person.
The heroine tends to get caught up in her own thoughts, while the hero is a happy puppy who follows her around wagging his tail.
The first three chapters set the scene and are a little slow. Feel free to start from Chapter Four, when the leads become desk mates.

The title, Yu Sheng Ruo Xia, means:
May every day of the rest of our lives be like summer.
Clear and bright, with the July breeze.
I really think this book is very beautiful. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is very delicate. Some details are also handled well. The characters are also very vivid. Because I have just finished the high school entrance examination, I will unconsciously put myself in some places. When I read, I also have a sense of pictures in my mind. The only drawback is that the update is a bit slow. This is my first time to write a book review. It may not be particularly good. I hope the author will get better and better and write more and more good books [Blow kiss]
