    Reader note

    - A secret love in school days is a pantomime that no one knows about. The young man in the story was once the proud son of heaven that everyone admired, but he gradually became ordinary as he grew up. There was no grand confession of his secret love, only the side glances in class, the footsteps pretending to be a chance encounter on the way to school, and the note in the homework book that he didn't dare to hand out. The hesitation in his character and the practical obstacles in the county made those unspoken likes eventually turn into regrets of "passing by happiness". - The core of BE is the powerlessness and truth in growing up. This is not a story about abuse for the sake of abuse. Its "abuse" is the helplessness that you and I both understand: the gap in grades, the pull of reality, and the trick of fate make the young man's life plummet all the way, and also make the youthful heartbeat forever stay in the summer that cannot be returned. When you thought you were just watching someone else's youth, between the lines, you saw your own hesitation, miss, and regret of being unable to look back when you were young. - Not only love, but also a true slice of mediocre life. The young man in the novel goes from being the favored son of heaven to being a "bottom student", and then wandering on the edge of life after entering society. His stumbling is very similar to the lives of most of us: the dream that he thought was within reach fell into confusion in the blink of an eye; the heartbeat that he thought he could catch eventually failed to reality. Those critical fork-in-the-road choices, those falls and stagnations all carry a heart-wrenching sense of reality.
