    I'm going crazy! What's going on? What are some good reads? The male lead gives the female lead cute and affectionate nicknames (Nini Pig, Wen Xiaoni, Xiao Nini), but the female lead gives the male lead some weird nicknames (Scheming Xiao Chenchen, Scheming Diao). The male lead falls in love with the female lead from the first time he sees her on campus, but she doesn't know and they argue until they get married. They're like oil and water, but they become husband and wife. I think the best thing about this story is its slice-of-life style, a blend of reality and fantasy. It's like I believe everyone should have such a wonderful love story, and I believe every love story can be this good. The reality is, there's no one as good as Jian Yuchen, who secretly loves the female lead and even learns to cook because of a wish she made. The female lead's family background wasn't great; it was a typical Chinese family (where everything your family does is for your own good). However, the male lead was very supportive of her, encouraging her when she doubted herself, saying things like, "It's not your fault, don't let bad people define you." She could always be that carefree, easygoing, and quirky Wen Ni. "Jian Yuchen also squatted down, and the two of them squatted at the door like mushrooms." At this point, after the female lead learned that the male lead had a crush on her, she squatted at the door and asked him why he liked her. The male lead squatted down and answered, "Because at that time, a gentle breeze blew, cicadas chirped in the summer, and that's how I met you. It was an ordinary time and place, but because I met you, it was given a romantic meaning."

    This is amazing! A super pure and innocent high school romance between a cat and a dog. A peacock-like puppy and a naturally naive and slow-to-warm-up girl. The male lead falls in love at first sight and has a crush on her. He's perfect in every way (good looks, good personality, good family background, and strong values). He pursues her directly, appearing aloof to outsiders but secretly showering her with affection, cuteness, and obedience. He's steadfastly committed to her, never uttering a harsh word, and unconditionally protecting her in front of others. "I don't feel wronged at all, what right do you have to criticize her for me?" "This is bullying, why should she have to bear all this? It's not fair to her." The female lead is top of her grade, an all-rounder. Naturally naive, a bit slow to warm up but determined, nicknamed "Ice Beauty," but actually a little angel, the group's darling. Thoughtful and sincere, principled, and unyielding. He unintentionally trains the dog, but genuinely dotes on someone. The family dynamic is excellent, a super loving family!!! "I hope we can become our own summer, invincible and fearlessly passionate." The ensemble cast is also excellent; each character has a subplot, and they're not just supporting characters. There's plenty of material to choose from—come and enjoy! I sincerely invite everyone to appreciate and critique! Thank you.
