   😢😢😢😢😢I'm crying so hard!!! I really can't bear it, it's so heartbreaking, full of regret. It's one of the few angst-filled stories with positive values. Although everyone loves each other, they can't be together. 🥺🥺🥺🥺It's so painful. Xiao Ci, it hurts so much, it's so bitter. In your next life, you must grow up peacefully, healthily, and happily. It's truly heartbreaking, a particularly bittersweet book that calmly tells the story of each person's life. There are no reasons, no right or wrong, just characters with souls. And isn't "my" experience just like that of an insignificant and humble ordinary person? Although it's a novel, it's very profound. I hope some like-minded friends will like it too. ❤️❤️❤️[Understood][Understood][Understood][Understood]
