    The moment I closed the book, it felt like a piece of my heart had been ripped out, leaving an empty, aching void. I'd often felt this melancholy while reading novels before, but those fantasy, martial arts, or alternate-world genres always had a filter of detachment from reality, and my emotions never surged like this. But this urban novel was different—it was all about the everyday lives of ordinary people. It felt like I'd accompanied two close friends through their entire lives: watching them go from initial helplessness and confusion to walking hand in hand; from awkward acquaintances to a life of mutual support until old age. The details hidden in the mundane aspects of daily life, the emotional journeys of growth, struggle, and reconciliation, had long made me accustomed to "seeing" them every day, listening to their stories of daily life. But suddenly, their story came to an end. Not a separation of life and death, but more like a silent farewell after a long companionship—they stopped forever at the end of their story, their footprints deeply etched in my memory, their lives never to move forward again. This immense sadness washed over me like a tidal wave, suffocating me. If I had to recommend this book, its most moving aspect would be its exquisite depiction of "realism." The richness of detail is so palpable that you can almost feel the characters' warmth: perhaps the steam rising as Chen Lu warms milk for Liang Zhirou, or the cup of warm water offered after their argument. Every glance, every unspoken word, reveals the texture of life. The comprehensive perspective adds depth to this story—from youthful naiveté to graying temples, from workplace struggles to family (trivial matters), their story reflects aspects of ourselves, yet possesses a touch more gentleness than reality. If you also want to encounter a "living" life through literature, to see how two ordinary people warm each other and slowly find fulfillment over time, then you must read it. After finishing it, you might feel a sense of melancholy, like I did, but the tenderness imbued by the story will linger in your heart for a very long time.
