   I seem to have had a wet dream about Macau. After reading this book, I immediately listened to Too Crowd, and memories appeared and circulated in my mind like a revolving lantern. I think the most interesting thing about Wen Ning's conversation with Xie Sheng in the candy store is the photo in the candy store, signed with Li Jiaxin's name. When I saw this, I felt Wen Ning was really vivid. Xie Sheng and Wen Ning lived together in a residential building. She bought him mung bean paste, had breakfast at the same table, and watered the spider plants... My memory finally focused on the plain ring "I can't love u in the dark". I don't know how to express my love for this book. I really like Cantonese. After reading this book, I became more determined to learn Cantonese. I also began to yearn for the city of Macau. The ending says "It's always spring, so it's always warm." I finished reading this book on April 24, 2026. Fortunately, I caught the tail of spring, which is not a disappointment. Xie Sheng hopes that you and Miss Wen will grow old together and enjoy the full moon.
