    Youthful crush, very realistic and astringent, the writing is very good. Mary Sue lurks near her house every afternoon, rides a bicycle at different times, calculates the right time to catch up from behind, and pretends to be a chance encounter one after another. He thought it was perfectly hidden, but in fact she had seen through it long ago. No one exposed it, and I just endured it until the third year of high school. After saving up the courage for a long time, I chose to confess my love before the college entrance examination—of course I failed. There are no school beauties or school beauties, no banging in the rain, only the most real love and miss of ordinary people. The writing is restrained, neither sensational nor pretentious.
