(If there are friends who like to read book reviews before reading, and if you mind spoilers, then don't read my book reviews 😢, because they involve plot discussions, which may lead to spoilers!!) First of all, congratulations on finishing it ヾ^_^♪, thank you for this novel that has brought me a lot. What I've been most interested in is the story of reunion after long absence, because I like to find shadows of reality in the world of novels to make up for the regrets of reality. Lime may be my utopia, making up for the regrets in reality in novels. When reading this novel, especially the first three volumes, even the sweet parts always gave me a sense of blue melancholy 😢. It felt like every scene in the story was cloudy. But under this melancholy, I was moved again and again by the love shown by the small details of Pei Chi and Ning Ning getting along again and again. It was a very contradictory feeling, really a mixture of sweet and sour 🤦. For example, a very small detail, when they were in the Jiangzhou apartment three years ago, from Aunt Liu's perspective, the scene where Pei Chi gently puts on Ning Ning's shoes, although it is just a small expression of love, it touches me deeply every time I watch it... First, let's give the author's writing style and logic a rainbow fart 😘😘. I feel that the author's words are like Pei Chi's love, with delicate and long-lasting tolerance. The mutual love and tension between the male and female protagonists do not need to be shown through monologues or intense language. You only need to be patient and look at the details of their relationship to find that their love does not need words to prove 😢, actions prove everything. In the first 90% of the article, there is no mention of I love you, but it is shown everywhere that I love you so much 😢. To add a point that impressed me deeply, Pei Chi, the cactus, suddenly turned into an oasis like a desert after Ning Ning bravely expressed his love. He became more and more cheerful. If forbearance and inferiority were his previous emotional state, then he is now in a step forward. He is gradually changing in the opposite direction, that is, his sense of being alive is getting stronger and stronger. This change in his state is not said to be through deliberate expression or single discussion, but can be seen through his language and small actions in the later period (I am just a man🌚). (Teacher Pei has also learned to act coquettishly, and Teacher Pei has become more confident 🤦 🤦...) As for the writing logic of the novel, there is nothing to say 😢. Thank you to the author for letting me read a novel that is not sloppy in the whole process, has no collapse, and is always wonderful~(¯▽¯~)~! All details are explained, and all plots are responded to. Haha, I also learned the word call back [to cover my face] after reading this novel, but I probably won't be able to use this word in the future, because I have never seen an author who is better at call back 😢 😢 😢 than October Ling. The most heart-wrenching plot is definitely the one in the third volume where the Ostrich Princess escapes from Toronto 🤦. In fact, the author's plot direction is the most in line with my psychological expectations. Escape is incorrect, but she is Zhou Chuning, and escape was Zhou Chuning's only choice at the time 😢. The encounter after Toronto was also the part that touched me the most. Just like a Tomato critic said in the comments, loving Zhou Chuning means picking up her pieces piece by piece 😢 😢, and being firmly chosen again and again🥺. Another thing that really annoyed me about "Green Lemon" is that the villains of this novel, Zhou Shaoping and He Changfu, are all people in the story's memories. The contradiction has been created by them long ago. They are not the ones who promote the active and passive choices of men and women, but the background of the story. The direction and ending of the story are the result of Pei Chi and Ning Ning's independent choice to love and be loved. Ahhhh, I confess to the author again that I don't use the baby as a bonding agent 🥰🥰 Kelly, this little angel, fits all my fantasies about human cubs! 😳😳 "Mom, my legs are so spicy" "Do you feel like there are many little stars on my legs?" Hahahahaha, this paragraph is really cute and heartwarming... There is also the best second male lead 😢 😢. Teacher He's love is super good. His monologue chapter enriches the concept of this novel to another level 😢 😢. His love from beginning to end is to hope that the heroine will get better and better. It feels like a one-way love. I love you, it is not about the two of us, it is just about you. I hope you will get better and better. I am happy to see you well 😢 😢. (Help, I'm talking nonsense 🤦 🤦, I hate my lack of language again) Haha, as a college student, Teacher He's monologue also urged us to work harder to become excellent🎓٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و, and suddenly I feel that the data we have to deal with are not so hateful anymore 🤭. This novel also reminded me of the first boy I liked. My personality is divided into modules. Unfortunately, I also avoid the love section. Although we are not as good as the male and female protagonists in the novel, nor are we as unforgettable in love as they are 😢. We knew each other in love in middle school. Perhaps due to academic reasons and our own personalities, he did not choose me again and again as firmly as Pei Chi (but I am still very grateful to him 😢). I also did not have the courage and confidence like Ning Ning. Even in the end, I did not have the courage to respond enthusiastically 😢 😢 (I feel a little inferior and uncertain). Although we still have contact and interact with each other now, it is not like the youth tour... Thank you to the author for the dream 😢 😢, thank you Pei Chi, thank you Ning Ning, thank you Teacher He, thank you lovely Kelly... To me, they are people from ordinary time and space, who have entrusted the author's expectations and the regrets of many readers' lives. Sometimes when I have insomnia, I will fantasize about the scenes in novels. There is no plot fantasy. I just think of a girl lying in bed in a daze on a snowy day in Zurich☁️, and a pair of lovers waking up in the morning in Shanghai☀️… I don't want to see you again, but I don't want to rush the author. I feel that the author is an experiential writer. Dear author, if you have new ideas and new encounters, and if you happen to have some free time, you can write it down [fly a kiss] [fly a kiss], even if it is an essay, hahaha. When dealing with highly sensitive people, love them. You don't need to make them become insensitive people. Instead, tell them to just be themselves. I will always tolerate you and love everything about you (˘ ³˘)💋 Let me confess again, all the characters in it are not flat, they are not just tools to promote the plot 💕💕💕💕💕
Very pretty. The author's writing is concise and powerful, and the description is very vivid. I actually remembered my first love while watching it, and it was no surprise that I cried while watching it. I remember the time when I was not a poisonous woman. I hope the male and female protagonists will have good results. And not like me.
At two o'clock in the morning, I finally finished reading the novel. If you ask me why I am so obsessed with the reunion/campus novel, it is probably because I long for the single-minded affection of the male protagonist, the wanton tenacity of the female protagonist, and their unforgettable youth and sweet love. I try to peek into other people's happy selves, believing that I am on the corner of happiness.
When I saw the monologue chapter of the second male lead, I really felt that the author wrote it very well. He drew several lines in one breath and explained clearly why he is so special to Zhou Chuning. I saw a sentence before, like is possession, but love is restraint. Because he loves her, he is willing to fulfill her happiness, even if this happiness has nothing to do with him. After learning that she is pregnant, take care of her, tell her to eat well, arrange flights for her to go abroad, etc., Respect her wishes, let her follow her heart, see her emotions clearly, and don't miss out on happiness. "Because your happiness is really important to me." Selfless love is really great. Being able to endure sad and sincere wishes, hoping that she is happy, he deserves to be happy. But the male protagonist is also very worthy of being loved. He has always chosen Chu Ning resolutely. He sent her money when she went abroad, silently paid attention to her life, and bought the paintings she couldn't sell. They were separated by the hatred of their parents, but he still wanted to protect her, just to make her happy and give her respect. He bowed his head again and again. Of course, he also deserves to be loved. Chu Ning, nourished by Pei Chi's love, bloomed beautiful flowers and responded to the boy who had been waiting for her for a long time. The three protagonists are all very good. I hope someone can appear in the parallel world to make Xiao He happy, and everyone will be happy 🥺
I read it from the previous book, which is really super good. The two updated chapters are what motivate me to get up every morning. I have to read it carefully word for word and sentence by sentence on the way to work👀. I feel that everyone has a very distinct character, they dare to chase their own love, and they will choose to let go when the other person gets true love. I like the tsundere princess Ning Ning, and I also like the aggressive male protagonist and the second male lead. I also like the super cute Kelly, and He Yu who never apologizes to men, and the assisting brother... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhinginging beingting me. I'm looking forward to the author's next book.
I really like this book. I am a female protagonist. The female protagonist cannot bear to be wronged, while the male protagonist falls in love with the female protagonist wholeheartedly. Precisely because there are very few or almost no such boys in reality, the characters in the novel are so precious. The heroine of this book is my Ning Ning. She dares to love and can break up at any time. She has a stubborn personality, but it is the stubborn personality that needs a lover who can't be driven away to heal. The male protagonist is also very contrasting 😢 😢 After falling in love with the heroine, he is devoted to the heroine. The settings of the male and female protagonists are all written in my heart. I love the author so much! He looks cold on the outside but is actually a little bitch in private. He only treats the heroine well, is single-minded, handsome and rich. I am very lucky to see such a good article near the end of 2024! I hope that the two of them will always be happy in the parallel world. I hope that the author's book will become more and more popular. I also hope that the readers of this book can also find their own happiness. [Sending my heart] [Sending my heart] [Sending my heart] [Sending my heart] [Sending my heart]
My favorite part is the part after marriage when the two of them couldn't help but get closer even though they didn't know their intentions, were testing each other, were jealous and sad. This point has never been seen in almost all the two-way crush love first marriage that I have watched. When I watched it, I was the most excited. It simply wrote what I really wanted to see in this track! I really like the perspective of the second male lead at the end. It gives me a feeling similar to that of Gou Huan He Zhi, who missed a traffic light. I can recall the be aesthetics in my heart. He has been helping the heroine become a braver person, but he has not fought for himself. Like the author, you are disgusted by the image of villains to set off the characters of the male and female protagonists and to drag them out for a walk to promote the relationship. The whole world does not revolve around you. Furthermore, this article is really humorous, even the supporting characters' speeches make people laugh. Finally, I have been thinking about the part about leaving while pregnant. Frankly speaking, I would rather see a version that expresses my feelings and embraces my lover. If I really felt guilty and chose to let go, I would abort the child and start my life again. Of course, this is because I am very selfish personally and have never experienced the emotions of having a child. I have always been disgusted with the way girls in TV dramas know that they have an unexpected pregnancy but still unilaterally choose to have a child and drag down their lives (unilaterally, it means that boys have no sense of responsibility, let alone love or not). I have always liked sadistic writing, and it is very good to mix the sadistic with sweetness. This requires the author's logic in writing and the ability to control the rhythm.
This is the fastest book I have read. Although I am taking exams these days, I read it whenever I have time and finished it in two days. This book was recommended by the homepage. I became interested when I saw the pseudo-siblings. I just wanted to read about pseudo-orthopedics, but after I clicked in for the first time, I got out of control. As the author wrote in the postscript, I also like the plot of reunion after a long separation, so this article is absolutely attractive to me! This is the first time I read a novel about a heroine with an avoidant personality. Because of the similarities in personality, I can especially understand how awkward the heroine is at times (I really disagree when I read some reviews of the book). Also, the tension in the early stages but the heroine's very logical quarrels is really enjoyable to watch. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. This is the first time in many years that I have watched two people in such a short period of time. I feel a little uncomfortable returning to reality. Anyway, this is an article that is very suitable to my taste. I will come back to read the plot when I am interested.
It's super beautiful, it's really high-quality writing, the characters of the male and female protagonists are very well created, the second male lead is also very good, and there is also the cute baby Kelly, the writing is very good, and the descriptions are very touching; I am very happy to read it, our Ning Ning is no longer an ostrich princess, she, Mr. Pei and Kelly will always be happy.
This is my first book review after reading Tomato for a long time. I really like this book. The writing is good, the characters are full, the characters are not inconsistent, there are many foreshadowings, and the front and back are well rounded. The twisted Ning Ning and the distressed Mr. Pei are both worthy of perfection. The love between Mr. Pei and Xiao He is too pure. I really like this kind of pure love. Ning Ning has also been growing. At the end, the snail opened her shell, and Miss Ostrich tried to be brave. My top novel of the year!!!
