   Story summary: It's all over. Very close to reality, from campus to society. The first book has a HE ending, and the second one has a BE ending. The two books form a very sharp contrast. The male protagonist in the first book and the female protagonist in the second book are from humble family backgrounds. The male protagonist in the second book and the female protagonist in the first book both have happy families. Both heroines learn for love, first they are bad and then they are masters. It's really good, but the heroine in the second book is too humble and doesn't dare to confess her love. She just has a secret love, so the ending is really hard to let go. The heroine in the first book is very brave. Although she is ordinary, she still pursues bravely and is not afraid of setbacks. Although she has been rejected many times, she still perseveres to the end. I really admire this character. The male protagonists of both books are academic masters, and the one in the first book is commonly known as "facial paralysis". He rejected the heroine many times because of his low self-esteem. He liked the heroine, and he tolerated it most of the time. The hero in the second book was very cheerful, lively, good-looking, and a typical young hero. He was really like the real-life crush of many girls. However, he missed the heroine because he didn't know what love was when he was young. He didn't dare to contact the heroine after he went to college. The heroine had a secret love for about ten years. A girl's youth, from the first day of junior high school to a long time, he couldn't let go. Generally speaking, the two books are very contrasting. You can read the second one first, and then the first one. This will be better, because the first one is sweet first and then cruel, while the second one is a little cruel first and then sweet. The third book📖: It is a sad story, you can read it or not.
