   The male lead is humble but not depressed; the female lead is truly his light! This is probably my favorite book recently. I've been searching for similar ones and was almost in a reading slump, but I didn't skip a single chapter in this one. The male lead is so humble, but he really values ​​and cherishes the female lead. He's incredibly patient and forbearing. Even after the female lead realizes her own feelings, she remains proactive, giving me a strong sense of security [crying emoji]. I absolutely love this kind of mutual affection, where one side is restrained while the other doesn't give up, gradually breaking down the barriers between them! The beginning might be a little nonsensical (?), But doing silly things when you're young seems understandable (because when I think back on my past self, I feel really silly). I won't spoil it, you can read it for yourself~ The author is very active, which I really like! And there are so many detailed scenes!!! Check out the author's Weibo!
