    It is a sour story about secret love. It starts from the school days. The heroine has a crush on the hero, but the hero never knows who the heroine is or that she likes him. The hero was with another girl who was also in high school. Later they were forced to separate, got together again in college, and then got married. It is a story about secret love with delicate emotions. If you only read the hero and another girl, it would be sweet.

    Reading "Seeing Spring": Looking for the eternity of love in regrets "Loving you is like looking forward to spring", this affectionate confession hidden between the lines is the most touching footnote of "Seeing Spring". The heroine Jiang Du, a girl who was teased by fate, was raised by her grandparents since she was a child. Her mother was full of hatred for her because of her unbearable past, leaving her to grow up in loneliness and low self-esteem. The male protagonist Wei Qingyue seems to be the favored son of heaven, but he is trapped in the quagmire of his parents' divorce and his father's violence. He is lonely and depressed inside. Their encounter began in that chaotic and hot summer, when Jiang Du rescued Wei Qingyue who was bullied by gangsters. From then on, the two lonely hearts began to get closer to each other. On campus, they conveyed their unspeakable thoughts through "exchanging reading notes." Jiang Du wrote "Spring will never disappear", and Wei Qingyue added "Because you are in my heart" at the footer. This careful tacit understanding is the gentlest light in youth. However, the gears of fate turned ruthlessly. Domestic violence, disease, and miscommunication all piled up one after another, crushing their love to pieces. Jiang Du was seriously ill and chose to bear it alone. The gray scarf she knitted late at night was eventually hidden deep in the locker and became an unsent heart. In order to protect Jiang Du, Wei Qingyue was sent abroad to study by his father. When he returned many years later, he was greeted by the sad news that Jiang Du had passed away. After that, he spent the rest of his life remembering Jiang Du in memories and fantasies, unwilling to accept this cruel reality. In this relationship, the most heartbreaking thing is the unspoken confessions and unfulfilled agreements. Jiang Du didn't know Wei Qingyue's deep love for her until his death, and Wei Qingyue could only express his endless longing to the empty world. Their love is like a drizzle in spring. It comes gently and goes hastily, leaving only a damp spot on the ground, making people feel disappointed. The story of "Seeing Spring" does not contain earth-shattering love and hatred, but uses delicate and nuanced brushwork to outline the truest appearance of youth. It allows us to see that love is a grand expectation and an unspeakable regret. Even if spring has passed, the desire and persistence for love will never dissipate. Just like Jiang Du and Wei Qingyue, although their love ended in tragedy, they left an eternal mark in each other's lives. Perhaps, this is the charm of "Seeing Spring". It allows us to shed our own tears in other people's stories, and also allows us to understand that no matter how cruel life is, love will always be the warmest force in our hearts, even if this love can only last in memories.
