   It's very interesting. I read the rating + ending and then read the book. I almost finished it before reading the title. If I had read the title at the beginning, I might not have read the book. But I was attracted to it very quickly after I read the book. The writing is crisp and clear, and the story is also crisp and clear. It is neither sensational nor intellectual. The group portraits are memorable, and the individuals are unforgettable. It feels like everyone is alive and has their own characteristics. The male and female characters, the protagonists and the supporting characters are all very distinct. In addition to Xiaoqi and the main characters, I also feel a lot of humanity in them, such as Mu Yan, Sister Goose, Chu Chu, Deng Xiancheng, and Tuan Lian. The emotional lines are also very good. Whether it is friendship, family, or love, I can take on the role of the character to understand and feel every emotional line. Moreover, the author's words and sentences are not difficult or complicated, but they can make you breathless or move you to tears, laugh or laugh at the same time. I really want to watch the TV series version.

   Nice! It's warm and redemptive without exaggerating the pain too much, making it smooth, relaxing and interesting to watch. The characters are all lively and cute, sweet and slightly confrontational. I like the heroine's tenacity, bravery and flexibility, bottom line and kindness, and she is a really good and charming craftsman. I also like the male protagonist who has a bit of a tsundere and is very cute. The young lovers were eating each other to death haha.
