In that cliffside seaside guesthouse that resembled Santorini, she fell for the guesthouse owner. She flirted with him openly and subtly, but he turned the tables on her on a typhoon night, and then she chickened out. The man pinned her against the dark corridor, turned her face, and asked meaningfully, "Do you know what will happen if this continues?" Later, one day, while passing by an antique wedding dress shop on "Wedding Invitation Street," Wen Xu impulsively went in, bought the vintage wedding dress she tried on, and, holding Zhou Lie's waist, made a romantic motorcycle escape.

    The bravest thing Lin Dong ever did in his life wasn't fixing that imported equipment, nor saving money to go to Mount Tai, but telling Su Xiyue, "It's too late." He waited for her for seven years. In those seven years, he wrote letter after letter, never sending them. He buried chicken legs under the old locust tree, carefully folded every candy wrapper, hiding himself as someone who couldn't speak. Later, he learned to say no. Later, he met Han Ruoyu. She said nothing, but did everything. She chased him for eight days, scolding him all the way back from the south. She said, "If you live one day, I'll stay with you; if you live ten years, I'll wear you down for ten." The people in this book aren't very talkative. But they do more than they say. If you've ever thought of a kiss you never sent in the dead of night, if you've ever saved those candy wrappers you couldn't bear to throw away, if you've ever waited for someone—you'll see yourself in this book. *Whether It's Worth It Isn't Up to You*
