    Childhood sweethearts should be paired with childhood sweethearts [drooling][drooling] Gentle and doting cool guy gong VS possessive and dependent shou, childhood sweetheart literature + long-awaited reunion + broken mirror mended + mutual pursuit + shou redeeming gong + a little bit of bittersweet tug-of-war in the early stages + half-campus, half-urban writing style with delicate and healing prose, the emotional and psychological descriptions are really detailed, a sweet and sour story, I would call the shou in this story the pinnacle of love talk boys! The character settings are also very interesting: the shou sees through the cruel side of the world better than the gong, but is still happy to maintain his purity. He thinks the gong is like a glass bead, a complete idealist, but in the gong's heart, the shou is the only ideal country and utopia that he firmly believes exists. Lin Zhisui said that he doesn't like waiting, even 15 minutes waiting for the bus feels very long, but he still completed a seven-year period of no news. It made my heart soften. The main point of angst in this book is that the gong's background is very heartbreaking, and the emotional line, apart from the forced separation and reunion and when the gong learns the truth, is basically not angsty. The chapters about their reunion are intensely bittersweet, but the rest are just pure sweetness! So much pampering! Hugs! Kisses! Teasing! If you can't handle any angst, start from chapter ten. Actually, I didn't find the earlier chapters angsty at all, just a little bit bittersweet, interspersed with childhood memories—they were such adorable kids! It's supposed to be a pursuit, but it's really just flirting! Once the uke realizes what's going on, he's a total straight-up player!! Oh my god! He's always finding ways to tease the uke!! Calling him "A-Shu" and "Brother" all the time, he's got the seme completely wrapped around his little finger!! The seme knows he'll keep falling for it, but he never stops him, consciously allowing himself to indulge!! He also loves giving the uke all sorts of nicknames, like "Pastry Chef," "Prophet," "Little Warrior," "Little Tyrant." The seme spoiled him rotten as a child, and he's completely helpless when the uke calls him "Brother"!! He gave her whale bracelets and handmade sailboats! Because the uke called him "brother" as soon as he learned to speak, the seme gave him all of his New Year's money. "Lin Zhisui exists outside of order, unbound, free throughout her life." "Pei Jingshu, don't try to settle things with me." "He thought love was the courage to break free of the cage, only to later realize that love is the cage itself. They were both trapped within it, fighting like caged beasts, ultimately defeated and willingly surrendering to each other." The secondary couple is a race car driver and a doctor, who have been together since school and into the city. The second love interest is introverted and gentle, but will go against his shy instincts to tell his friends, "Look, we all like you, even the puppy likes you, Qi Yu, I like you the most." The third love interest is a handsome and charming type. During high school military training, he was secretly unhappy because he couldn't stand next to his partner due to a change in formation, and likes to call the second love interest "Teacher Xiao Qiao" and request various kisses and hugs. The main couple's second love interest and the secondary couple's third love interest have a bit of a bickering-lovers feel, always teasing each other, basically showing off their love. Both couples have a mutually healing style, and the writing style is quite delicate!
