"Double Clean" is such a good read! (I binged it all in one go, haha!) The male lead has a crush on the female lead for three years in the beginning, and they both get into the same university. He actively pursues her, and the ambiguous period is so sweet! Chen Shixu's pure love is amazing!! The friendship in the book is also great, and the values are positive.
Unrequited love is truly bittersweet. My classmate had a crush on a boy for six years, but she wasn't as lucky as the male lead to get into the same university as the female lead. The boy she admired ended up going to Tsinghua University. Honestly, I especially love stories where the male lead has a crush on the female lead, because some books portray the female lead as very humble and pitiful. The male and female leads are so sweet!
It's so good! Why does it only have a 7.9 Rating? The pacing is really good; it didn't feel bland or boring at all. I want to say: Chen Shixu, your love is really impressive! (When a guy pursues a girl, he just falls in love with her completely, okay?) It all started with "The ray of sunshine that was missing in the summer of my fifteenth year has descended upon me.
The novel delicately portrays the secret feelings of unrequited love, and the mutual pursuit between the protagonists feels natural and unforced. The details from tentative exploration to growing closer feel realistic, without any awkward forced sweetness. While reading, you'll find your heart racing along with the protagonists', and you'll feel good for a long time after finishing it.
This is the first male-centric unrequited love novel I've ever read!!! It's absolutely amazing!!! The writing is so delicate. This is also the first serialized novel I've ever followed! Ahhhhhh, Zhi Xia is so cute, I want to kiss her to death!!! Chen Shixu's character is so relatable!!! I really love this one!!!
"In the depths of winter, I finally realized that within me lies an invincible summer." Yun Zhixia entered Chen Shixu's life like summer itself, and Chen Shixu, in turn, warmed Yun Zhixia's heart. Congratulations to Chen Shixu on his unrequited love coming true. The author is untrustworthy
The bittersweet feeling of unrequited love during adolescence, and the straightforward and bold confession after falling in love—it both touched my heart and moved me deeply! "Unrequited love is a long monologue that no one knows, a one-way journey where only the bitterness is known." "The sound of unrequited love is inaudible, so how can it be jarring?"
This song paired with "How Lucky" and "Always Online" is so perfect!! The youthful energy is practically overflowing from the screen! 😍🤭 There's a passage in the book with lyrics to "When You"!! Listening to this song at this moment...❤️💗🌳 Who can understand this feeling? It's like experiencing that sweet, innocent love all over again! 🤭😆
This book is amazing! Don't look at the rating, everyone. I think there's something wrong with it; it should be worth more than that. Trust me! Trust me! Trust me! It's super good, both leads are virgins, no scandals, no scandals, no villainous female supporting character.
It's pretty good. I think this is the author's first book, and it's really well-written. In my opinion, this book deserves a 9 out of 10 on Tomato Books, much better than many other books that are overrated. I originally wanted to give it four stars, mainly because some plot points had minor flaws, but they didn't affect the overall quality. However, I hope the author continues writing; there are too many overrated books on Tomato Books these days. I'm giving the author some encouragement! 💕
