After writing the last word, I stared at the screen for a long time. There are more than one hundred and sixty chapters, written from kindergarten to the birth of the second child, from the age of four to twenty-seven, twenty-three years. Looking back, it seems that just yesterday they were sharing the chicken legs in the kindergarten classroom, and today they were holding Xiaozhi and An An under the old tree in the secret base. When writing this story, I often thought about what kind of person is willing to wait for someone from the age of four, wait fourteen years to say "I like you", wait two months to hold hands, and wait seven years to get married. Zhan Zhou is such a person. He said nothing but did everything. He doesn't rush, doesn't rush, doesn't push, he just waits. Wait for Shi Yan to grow up, wait for Shi Yan to become enlightened, wait for Shi Yan to be brave, wait for Shi Yan to say "I like you too". So did Shi Yan. She went from being dull to enlightened, from escaping to facing, from being loved to knowing how to love. She's not perfect, but she's growing. From a little girl who needs to be protected, to a mother who can protect others. One of my favorite scenes is when Shi Yan said to Zhan Zhou: "You waited for me for fourteen years, and I waited for you for five years." At that moment, I felt that Shi Yan had really grown up. She is no longer the one who needs Zhanzhou to wait all the time, she can also wait for him. That's why I love this story. Because it's about growing, about waiting, about "taking your time." In this era where everything needs to be done quickly, it is a luxury for someone to be willing to wait for someone for more than ten years. But Zhan Zhou and Shi Yan did it. See you in the new book.
Eleven years of secret love, fourteen years of companionship, hidden in every chicken leg, every cup of brown sugar water, and every graduation photo standing behind her. Childhood sweethearts running in both directions are the gentlest miracles in youth. It made me cry, and I also cried sweetly. This is the ceiling of childhood sweethearts!
Oh my God! Zhan Zhou's secret love is simply a crush on the literary ceiling! Every chapter is so sweet that you can roll with it. The deep love hidden in daily life is like boiled water and wine. The more you taste it, the better it gets!
From chicken legs to tin boxes, from kindergarten to college entrance examination, Zhanzhou spent fourteen years proving that: the most affectionate confession is not that I love you, but that you are behind me every time I look back.
