    The three seconds it took him to bend down and pick up his sketches foreshadowed the heart-fluttering moments of the entire autumn. The first encounter in "Thinking of You in the Moments of Time" was the instant a pencil tip broke—she secretly sketched his profile from behind a crowd, but scattered the sketches all over the ground in front of the library. He picked up the sketch, still warm from his touch, without a word of reproach, but instead remembered the cat she drew; the coolness of her hand brushing against his white shirt sleeve was more unsettling than the September wind. No one knew the computer genius would squat down to organize his sketches, just as no one noticed that the "3:15" he wrote in the corner of her cat drawing was his fixed time for going to the library every day. When ginkgo leaves fell on the paper, when the approval contained coordinates only he understood, this encounter, which began in a panic, had already been quietly marked with the footnote of heart-fluttering. "It turns out that his aloofness was his protective shell, and your paintbrush was the first key to unlocking his defenses."

    It's really good! The character settings are also great. The male lead is a pitiful, manipulative puppy in front of his sister, but a ruthless wolf behind her back. The female lead always thinks he's malicious towards her, but he believes his sister is just trying to get close to him (in reality, she's not malicious at all). Later, because his sister isn't as angry as before, he acts all manipulative in front of her, pretending to be pitiful and even intentionally hurting himself to gain her attention. The tug-of-war between the male and female leads is very strong. Due to various reasons, including the psychologist and the system, the female lead constantly oscillates between indifference and enthusiasm towards the male lead, which is very captivating. Finally, the supporting male character, Lu Xingye, is also quite interesting. His first love went abroad, and he found many substitutes. In the end, he falls in love with the female lead without realizing it, stubbornly insisting she's a substitute. He's the tsundere type, deliberately creating encounters. I look forward to the day he discovers his true feelings.
