   It's super good-looking. It's the best mind-reading story I've ever read. The article is humorous and passionate. Especially when the island country was destroyed, Brother Zheng was so doting on the heroine. The side story about Fusu wasn't that good. I only watched the one about the heroine and Brother Zheng. It was super good-looking. I regret not reading it. It's quite funny when a traitor and a villain get high. Many of the articles are very funny and very interesting.

    The female protagonist Lin Xu is timid and has low self-esteem and has poor grades. The male protagonist has a cheerful personality and is talented and arrogant. She makes every effort just to get closer to him. For the person she likes, she goes from the last grade to the top 10 in grade. But the secret love is destined to be killed by the clear love. Later, he confessed his secret love for many years through drunkenness, but it was too late. The male protagonist is about to get married. The most regrettable thing is that the male protagonist also liked her. She was naive and regretful to miss her. Secret love is a pantomime of life and death. "Then do you like Ye Feng?" Someone asked her suddenly without knowing the direction. She smiled, showing a row of neat white teeth, and nodded generously without hesitation, her eyes full of joy. She said: "Yes, I like it." It turns out that secret love is just such a sad little thing. "I am so lucky to meet you, but I have lost the right to cry for you." "My life is always in the cold winter, but he is summer, a summer I have only seen once in my life."
