   Reader note

   "Spring and Moonlight" is a youth sweet pet theme, integrating elements of childhood sweethearts and secret love coming true. Zhou Yue temporarily stayed at Lin Qi's house due to a family accident. The two had a good relationship. Zhou Yue had outstanding looks and excellent grades and attracted much attention, but Lin Qi insisted that he was just a classmate. In fact, Zhou Yue had already secretly fallen in love with Lin Qi and regarded her as the castle in his heart. Lin Qi is straightforward and simple, Zhou Yue is affectionate and restrained, and the characters are vivid. The advantage is that the emotional description is delicate, and the ambiguous atmosphere of adolescence is rendered extremely well. The novelty is the young male protagonist's secret pursuit of love, and the interactive interaction is high. The demining point is that the plot is a bit bland and the conflict is insufficient. The author's writing style is fresh and natural, and his writing is smooth. Readers have generally reported that after reading the love between the male and female protagonists from school uniforms to wedding dresses, they regained the beauty and excitement of youth. It is very suitable for reading in leisure time. Highly recommended!!!
