   1️⃣ How could this type of story be complete without Chun Xiang and You Li? The male lead's grandfather sponsors the female lead, and the three of them live together. I really enjoyed the time the female lead spent with her grandfather. The female lead is also poor but very positive and optimistic. She's sad when she's isolated by her classmates but doesn't give up; she adjusts her mindset and has a high degree of self-reliance. The whole book captures the vibrant feeling of youth. I love the Zhou You World group and the friends. 2️⃣ The same author as the previous book. The female lead is poor but hardworking, insecure and conflicted, but has a strong core, like a tenacious weed. A particularly memorable part is when the female lead, riding her old bicycle, greets the male lead, who's in a luxury car, at the school gate. And when the male lead isn't sure he's fallen for her, he secretly puts milk in her desk because of her malnourished, yellowish hair. The supporting characters' stories are also very engaging, with the innocent young man and the assertive young woman. 3️⃣ I recommend another unrequited love story where the protagonist lives at the male lead's house. It's not in Yangshizi, but called "If Spring is Bright and the Scenery is Clear". This book is also extremely, extremely, extremely good. I can't stress this enough! If you're interested, you can look it up yourself.
