    Unrequited love is an indispensable theme in angst-filled novels. ① Meng Zhiwan's Campus Unrequited Love BE Aesthetics Trilogy is a book I still dare not read a second time (The Sad Little Thing About Unrequited Love, Xiaoxiao Yushengchi, Qingqing). ② If the Forest Has Fairy Tales: If you are afraid of the deep sea, then come with me to the forest. They were just a little bit away from being together, but there are no ifs. ③ I only stole a glance at him. The girl Lu Nan had a crush on the boy Lu Xu for her entire youth. Because of one glance, she ruined her life. Lu Nan then spent ten years letting go of that moment in time. "In this vast youth, for me, amidst the clamor of people, it was enough for me to steal a glance at him." Lu Nan: Lu Xu, my boy, happy marriage. He will probably never know that there was once a girl who loved him for her entire youth. This is probably a true reflection of most girls' lives; deep down, there's a boy they secretly like. ④ She stopped comforting him: They met in the height of summer that year, and parted in the same summer. His little rose was forever hidden in that empty space. They had clearly made a promise to each other and worked hard towards that goal, but ultimately, reality prevailed. The girl suffered multiple organ failure and couldn't wait to take the college entrance exam with the male lead. She could no longer comfort him. "Your stomach isn't good, you must eat, be good." "I'm not good, when will you come back to comfort me?"
