It looks good. This kind of 1v1 should be in line with the public's general view of love. There are no stomach-churning party fights, and the psychological description of secret love is very suitable for a sensitive teenager in high school. The class gap is insurmountable, and this is destined to be a very tortuous love, but as Xie Shu said, love can transcend everything. Not only is the male protagonist with low self-esteem redeemed by the female protagonist, but also the female protagonist recognizes and improves her understanding of others and love through constant contact with the male protagonist. Looking forward to the growth of the protagonist and heroine. Pure love, till death do us part!
Many people subconsciously feel that ordinary people are not worthy of liking dazzling people, and the heartbeat of ordinary people is not worth mentioning, but this story overturns this prejudice. Some people may wonder how the male protagonist can be considered an ordinary person because he is good-looking and has top grades. In fact, judging whether you are ordinary or not does not rely on personal advantages such as appearance and grades. The key is whether you have a good family background, privileges and scarce resources. His family only runs a small restaurant and does not have any capital to save money. He can only rely on himself to work hard in life. The inferiority complex in his bones also comes from this reality gap. Even without a glamorous background, his single-minded, pure, clumsy and sincere tenderness is still extremely precious. The story begins with the secret love he hides alone. The heroine sees through his uneasiness early on and takes the initiative to approach him, gradually calming down his self-denial. The two help each other, she heals him of his cowardice caused by the class gap, and he brings freedom to the heroine who is trapped in the family arrangement. It is a rare two-way healing and redemption. The author does not deliberately beautify the class gap, nor does he abuse the youth filter. The story is half true and half false, with a realistic quality. The writing is delicate and soft, the characters are realistic and not suspended, and the emotional development is smooth and natural. It tells us gently: the love of ordinary people is equally hot, and ordinary teenagers are worthy of being firmly chosen. The heartbeat that transcends worldly barriers is the rarest romance in youth. Finally, I would like to say that this book is a self-adaptation. The male protagonist is based on the author himself, and the rest of the plot is half true and half false. It can be regarded as a work used by the author to make up for the regrets of reality. This is also the side of all secret admirers. Although they are full of tenderness, they always feel that they are not worthy of being close to the light.
It looks good, good luck to the author. This male protagonist is much better than a certain Joe next door, so Xie Shu should be able to lead our Frost Party to win once 😢. I don't believe that someone would keep pushing Bai Yueguang away who is approaching me, and I don't believe that two people who have a mutual crush on each other will lose.
It's very strong. I'm a hard-working high school student who likes to read sweet stories.
Very well written, it reminded me of another Tomato book about cowards, but that book was titled "Secret Love" and "Cowards", while this one is titled "Ordinary People". In this case, I think Li Mubai will not be too "cowardly", and I hope Li Mubai will be brave once more. Regarding the supporting roles, Chen's portrayal is very realistic, reminding me of the back desk in my junior high school. She was also a bit "bold" and "informal", and she could play with both boys and girls. She was a very cheerful girl. In the novel, on the one hand, she makes
Very good. The author's writing is exquisite. The high school love between the protagonist Li Mubai and the heroine Xie Shu combines reality and ideals. On one side is the arrogance of the heroine's parents as successful people, and on the other side is the world's prejudice against high school love. Only the two people's unchanging sincerity can make this relationship last long. But is this possible? Maybe this novel is really the author's artistic processing of my high school life. The male and female protagonists in the novel can break all obstacles, but the reality is cruel, and the class gap is like a chasm that ordinary people cannot fill. Youth is destined to have regrets. You can try to make up for it but you are doomed to fail. But you have tried, right? Just like Li Mubai and Xie Shu in the article knew it was not feasible but went against the will of heaven, some people may ask, why did they know it was impossible but kept going? I think it was a hot summer many years later. When I was accompanied by tobacco and alcohol, I recalled that summer full of laughter without any regrets. (This is my personal opinion, and my views are my own)
As a newcomer, this new book can be said to be very well written, with very delicate language. It gives me a feeling like "The Moon is Beautiful" and "Secret Love is the Strongest Word for a Coward", but it is more like a combination of two focuses. Xie in this book has both the cold white moonlight attributes of Xu Shuang and the kind and attentive male protagonist of the Moonlight Beauty heroine. It is really very comfortable to read, but contrary to that book, I can definitely confirm that Xie will win with this book. Keep up the good work, the author!
🤔 It's very refreshing to watch, not boring and not too awkward. The heroine has always been proactive, and the hero has not said that he has been doubting himself because of his low self-esteem. There is still a growth curve, but I don't know how to handle the role of Chen well. If the follow-up writing is not good, it can easily become a surprise. You have to watch this.
I have read more than 20 of them, but the author said it was a single heroine, so I will give my praise first (I started to feel something was wrong with the plot next door since Xia started, and I stopped watching it after I knew it was a party struggle. The author shows us pure love for the party to win!) After review, Tomato is a rare masterpiece, and the emotional line is not delayed. If there is any problem, the heroine is brave enough to communicate it. It is simply not too loveable. Also, the author can write an if line between Chen and Mei. A short story would be enough and I think it would be quite interesting. A main line of pure love would be great.
The author writes very well about secret love. I can only say that I am short of words, but the writing is indeed very good in all aspects. It just feels like it will be abused later, because the author writes Chen Qiuhe so well. I want to have two heroines, but this is a single heroine. It is a pity. Maybe in the future, Chen Qiuhe will be written with someone else or alone 😢
