    Reader note

    It's a very good book, and all of them are quite heart-wrenching, but out of all these books, my favorite is still Meng Zhiwan's "Xiao Xiao Yu Sheng Chi." It's very good and has a strong aftertaste. When I read the extra chapter about the parallel world ending, I cried so hard I couldn't breathe. I wondered if I had said it out loud, would I have gotten married like this? My family would have given their blessings, my friends would have given their blessings, and my online friends would have given their blessings. But once it's missed, it's missed.
