In his previous life, Gu Yan lost the girl who used to follow him everywhere.
Only after she died did Gu Yan discover the ten years of secret love she had poured into her diary. Reborn in his second year of high school, he had just one thought: Shen Nianxi, this time I’m going to pursue you with everything I’ve got.
But she didn’t seem to believe him. He hugged her in front of everyone, and she blushed and said, “You’ve had too much to drink.” He told her, “I’ll take care of you,” and she quietly replied, “You never do.” He said, “I like you,” and she turned away. “Liar.” Then one day, drunk, she clutched his sleeve and cried, “Don’t leave me all alone.”
He pulled the strawberry candy she had given him as a child from his pocket. Its wrapper was crumpled. He had kept it through both lifetimes.
“This time, I’ll be the one to come after you. You hide, I’ll chase. You run, I’ll wait. You keep denying it, and I’ll kiss you until you can’t.”
Before long, the whole school knew that the once aloof Gu Yan had become Shen Nianxi’s personal fool. Someone asked Shen Nianxi what was so good about him. She thought for a moment. “He said he’s loved me for two lifetimes.”
Gu Yan wrapped his arms around her from behind and murmured, “Not just two lifetimes. This life, the next life, and every life after that, it has to be you.”
[Reborn Devoted Childhood Friend x Sharp-Tongued but Soft-Hearted Childhood Sweetheart / Mutual Pining / Sweetness Warning]
The most touching thing about this book is not rebirth, but "remembering". Gu Yan remembered that she loved drinking strawberry milk, the scar on her finger, and the strawberry candy she gave him when she was a child. Rebirth gave him a second chance, but what he used to catch her was not the golden finger that could predict the future, but these tiny, warm "memories" that only he knew. Shen Nianxi's hard mouth and soft heart were peeled off layer by layer. From "I hate you the most" to "I'm afraid you'll leave" to "You're the worst", it took her more than eighty chapters to say her true words. Gu Yan just waited. The most touching thing was not the moments when he protected her, it was when she finally dared to pick up the book and throw it at the person who threatened him. It was when she pressed his hand on her chest and said, "Feel my heartbeat." She went from being a protected person to a guardian. This also makes this relationship truly equal. It's not that he is strong and she is weak, it's that he is willing to be controlled by her and she dares to control him. He imagined being chased and beaten by her after marriage, and what he thought about was not "it's over" The highest level of sweet writing is not to be sweet from beginning to end, but to let you taste a little bit of sourness in the sweetness, and then find that the sourness is also caught by the sweetness. Her insecurities, the cost of his body, the regrets of the past life, and the compensation of this life are all eliminated little by little in the daily tenderness. In the end, you will feel that these two people should be together, and they should be together from the previous life. If you want a story that makes you believe that "love can take its time," this book will catch you.
I have only read half of it, but the writing is so sweet. I hope the author can continue to work hard and write better stories.
