   These two books are absolutely amazing! The male and female leads in *Huai Feng* are both academic high-achievers, very talkative, and their confessions and proposals are incredibly romantic. In *Please Openly Love Me*, the female lead has secretly loved the male lead for years, and their college romance is incredibly sweet. These two are simply the pinnacle of campus romance novels, in my opinion!

   Let me recommend myself, haha. I'm humbly trying to survive in a story about two academic superstars. The female lead is better than the male lead, ranking first in her grade—a true all-rounder. The male lead excels in science but is a little weaker in humanities, though he works on it later. He wants to attend the same university as the female lead, haha. He has a crush on her and falls in love at first sight, so he's glued to his screen whenever he gets the chance. He's not cold to others and knows his boundaries, but around the female lead, he's like a puppy wagging its tail, showering her with all sorts of cuteness and charm. The female lead is naturally a bit naive and slow to warm up, but once she realizes her feelings, she's very determined. She's a little angelic but not brainless! The family storyline is great; both leads are pure love warriors. It's very youthful, and I sincerely invite everyone to come and appreciate it and give your feedback! 🥹 I'm updating daily, so come and enjoy! I definitely won't stop! 🧎

   The story begins at the corner of an internet cafe, an accidental collision, the arrogant and aloof boy's eyes filled with displeasure. The story ends with the former boy setting aside his pride, like a devout believer, worshipping her as a goddess, tenderly offering her affection. It is his passionate and beautiful Miss Ji, and her devoted and fervent Mr. Jiang, who will hold her hand and grow old together, not just in this lifetime. [Almost crying][Almost crying] Someone asked her, "What does unrequited love feel like?" Perhaps some would say summer, the cicadas' chirping, gym class, an ice-cold cola. But she felt it was like a whirlwind, arriving with earth-shattering force, ruffling her hair, and sweeping through her heart. Finally, it passed in a flash, leaving only fragmented memories. [Almost crying][Almost crying] This book is truly both heart-wrenching and captivating. The author's writing is absolutely superb. It's not overly angsty, but the tear-jerking moments are all in the details; I almost cried my eyes out. All I can say is that I wish everyone's youth is without regrets.

The male lead has a crush on the female lead, but she gets angry because she can't compete with him, so she doesn't like him back. The male lead is always teasing her, which is quite funny, and she has to comfort him afterwards, which is a bit annoying. The female lead is a very clear-headed girl with goals.

    This is it! Two academic superstars! Redemption! The female lead isn't weak! A gentle, strong, and kind little sun, and most importantly, the author has a positive outlook and the writing is exceptionally good! There's not a single jarring element, and the language is incredibly evocative. When they first met, the male lead was incredibly cold and withdrawn [crying]. Later, under the care of our lovely female lead, he slowly became more lively. After spending more time together, we discovered that the male lead is practically a silly, clueless traveling frog—always letting the female lead pat his head and touch him. He's so adorable! And every classmate is incredibly friendly and kind. And the teacher is so interesting, cute, and humorous—how come I've never met a teacher like this before? [Crying][crying][crying]

    The first book is absolutely perfect!!! The author is such a talented writer, writing both hilarious and delicately. It's a story where the male lead has a crush on the female lead, but she dislikes him. They're initially a bickering couple because the female lead consistently ranks second in her grade after the male lead transfers. She's also the kind of strong-willed female lead who's solely focused on her studies. There's a chapter where a boy confesses his love with artificial snowflakes, and the female lead's first reaction isn't to find it romantic, but rather to go downstairs to see what chemicals the artificial snowflakes contain. I almost died laughing!

    This is a bit off-topic, but I really want to recommend it because I love this book to death (lol). Our darling female lead initially competed with the second male lead for first place, but later she completely secured first place [kissing emoji]. (Her first win was probably due to her excellent performance in her strongest subject, Chinese, but the second male lead couldn't reclaim that position in subsequent attempts. At that time, they hadn't chosen their majors yet, and he was simply not as good as the female lead in later rounds). The male lead's grades were significantly lower than the female lead's; he wasn't a top student, just an average above-average student (not bad, just above average). He wasn't given any special advantages like guaranteed admission through competitions (which, in my opinion, was a huge plus). But the male lead is definitely the male lead; he has many obvious and shining qualities that you can easily understand once you read the book. The female lead is incredibly cute, I want to give her a big kiss… They're both so adorable. The romance is a classic case of a newcomer defeating their childhood sweetheart, which goes against the trend, but they're really, really cute, two wonderful darlings… The scenes of the male and female leads exchanging messages during their ambiguous period were so cute I was rolling around in bed! Furthermore, the pacing of the entire book is excellent. While the female lead is anxious about the second male lead's lingering feelings, she doesn't seem dissatisfied. The balance between romance and academics is handled well, without deliberately downplaying either aspect. Therefore, it truly captures the essence of a campus romance, which is basically saying, "I'm begging you to read this..."
