    It's book recommendation. Today I'm recommending a work for fans. - "Following in His Footsteps from Green Years to Youth" From high school to college to work, the heroine has followed the hero for many years. The heroine knew very early on that the end of their journey would be separation, but the heroine still persisted until she was helpless. The male protagonist always believed that his marriage was nothing more than an equal exchange after weighing the pros and cons, and he did so. It was not until the female protagonist completely disappeared from his life that he realized that she had taken away the joy of his life, and his life had become long and boring since then. Then the male protagonist began a long and arduous process of pursuing the other party. If the light thing doesn't work, let's use the dark thing. At a classmate's birthday party, he took her to bed while she was drunk. She couldn't describe how she felt afterwards. Regret and anger were nothing compared to the shock of the sexual experience he gave her. He had never seen someone like this before. How could he do those things to herself. How about your usual well-dressed appearance? How about a romantic and suave one? She is crazy and domineering in bed, exerting endless force, but she behaves pitifully off the bed, like a child who has done something wrong, anxiously waiting for punishment from adults. What two faces. The overall tone of the novel is sweet. During the time they were separated, they were thinking about each other and shared a lot of delicious food and beautiful scenery.
