   These books are all very good, especially the fourth one, "The Prodigal Son Returns," which definitely features Si Ye. Si Ye is a fake prodigal. The female lead has a crush on the male lead for seven years. Her best friend is also the male lead's friend, and because of this relationship, the female lead carefully stays by his side. However, she never tells anyone that she likes him; she only secretly harbors a crush. In high school, a rumor circulated about the male lead and his class's vice-class monitor. Once, when both classes had PE together, his classmates teased him. He tried to explain, but they wouldn't listen. One time, the female lead saw the male lead laughing and talking with his class's vice-class monitor and wrote in her diary, "Zhou Jingsi, I don't want to like you anymore." (Later, when the male lead saw this, he was heartbroken.) During the college entrance exam, the female lead's score wasn't high enough to get into the same university as the male lead, so she decided to retake the exam for a year and finally got into the same university. At the start of the semester, the male lead was there during orientation, but he was with a girl (whom he recognized). Everyone said she was his girlfriend, but he didn't admit it. At university, rumors about the male lead spread: the student council president changed girlfriends every three days because one of the girls failed a course, and so on. At a student council gathering, the female lead's best friend, who was also in the student council, brought her along. The female lead sat quietly. Someone offered her a drink, and the male lead, seeing this, said, "Kids shouldn't drink alcohol," and gave her his drink instead. Then they played Truth or Dare. When it was the female lead's turn, she chose Truth. The girl asking the question was the one who was always clinging to the male lead. She asked what kind of person she liked, and the female lead said a gentleman, gentle, handsome, someone who shines under the national flag, and academically excellent. At this point, the male lead thought to himself, "There's no such thing as a perfect person..." During the female lead's military training, the male lead was her class's instructor, but he had someone else take his place, and he only took on the duties of the head instructor. One time, the female lead and her dorm were late coming down, and the male lead said he would punish them by making them run five laps. This was a nightmare for the female lead because she was the type who would be out of breath after running just a few steps. So she asked the male lead if she could run two laps instead, and he replied, "Look how spoiled I've made you..." When they had a holiday, the male lead walked the female lead home, having already decided to steal her away. After stealing her away, the male lead became clingy and affectionate. Once, the female lead made the male lead's birthday cake by hand and also knitted him a scarf and gave him a keychain. The male lead then showed off to his dormmates, saying, "This is from my girlfriend. Oh, I forgot what you bunch of single dogs know." Once, the female lead got drunk and told the male lead, "You look like the person I like." Hearing this, the male lead was incredibly jealous. "Didn't you say you liked me the most? You still can't forget him!" When the female lead went to get something, she accidentally spilled everything out of her bag. When she saw the diary, she grabbed it immediately. The male lead realized how important this diary was to him; it might contain records of the person she had a crush on. The female lead wouldn't let him read it, but after she fell asleep, he secretly looked at it. When he saw the name, he froze, because he knew that name all too well—ZJS. There was also a sentence inside: "Seeing you today makes me want to take you to Keke Lixi." He knew that sentence well because he had found a book with the same words written in it during his first summer break in college. This was what the male lead said to the female lead after they got together: "You're the person I want to get married as soon as I graduate"—Zhou Jingsi.
