    My acquaintance with him began when he and three classmates rented a room in my house during his high school years. We lived under the same roof. However, he was glib, a womanizer, and extremely rude. He was cunning and manipulative, flirting with girls everywhere and writing love letters to different girls, which I found extremely repulsive and disgusting. Unexpectedly, he used his cunning to invite only me to accompany him to his military service, effectively positioning me as his girlfriend. Although I didn't agree to be with him, being labeled his girlfriend prevented his other friends who liked me from pursuing anything further out of loyalty to him. During this time, he maintained an ambiguous relationship with me, exchanging letters. Unexpectedly, a year later, when he went back to his hometown on leave to visit relatives, some of his friends, unable to bear seeing me being deceived by him while he was seeing several girls, warned me. Ultimately, our breakup wasn't a romantic one, because we never even started anything; we severed ties, not even becoming ordinary friends.

    My acquaintance with him began when he was in high school. He and three classmates rented a room in my house, and we lived under the same roof for several years. After I graduated, and he was about to graduate as well, he sent me his first love letter while I was working away from home. After that, he relentlessly pursued me. When I was hospitalized after a car accident, he took care of me like a boyfriend. After I returned home from the hospital, he called me almost every day, even though phone calls cost six cents a minute back then. He frequently visited me at my house. He thought sincerity could move mountains, but I had a heart of stone; I didn't like anyone from the first glance, and I never would. I was simply captivated by his gentleness and thoughtfulness, hoping he could become my older brother. After several rejections, he persisted, and I was moved, agreeing to date and marry him. However, to appease his friend, who was my nominal boyfriend, he devised the absurd plan of having me date other boys and then break up with them to date him, leading me to encounter a heartless wolf. Ultimately, we became strangers.

    The charm of this book lies not in its dramatic, exciting plot or its fantastical, intricate storylines, but in its authenticity, sincerity, and genuineness: it recreates the real traces of time, expresses the sincere emotions of youth, and reveals the profound insights gained on the path of growth.
