Even though she was terrified, she still protected Ye Feng. She had the courage to let go of new feelings. Ye Feng was also a wonderful boy; his every move influenced Lin Xu. He liked her but didn't realize it. He would speak up for her, and he was flamboyant, unrestrained, open, and upright. He was a ray of light in her life. He often told Lin Xu to "be brave," but wasn't he also a coward? They were both cowards when it came to love. If they had both been braver, wouldn't they have avoided this? Next time, let's all be brave and not miss out again. I wish Lin Xu and Ye Feng a happy ending.

Xia Linxi's daily life is filled with schedules, yet she always feels a piece is missing in her heart, until one moment, a breeze lifts not only the pages of a book, but also her unnoticed youthful thoughts. The author uses **gentle light and shadow and subtle gestures** (fingertips tucking hair, dappled sunlight under the trees) to build up the texture of youth, making the reader feel as if they have returned to that sultry yet hopeful summer. There are no dramatic twists in the story, but it hides everyone's **"unfulfilled expectations"** from their student days—about self, about growth, or about someone who has not yet appeared. "When the wind of the lake city sneaked through the screen window, she finally heard the sound of her own heartbeat."

    Do you believe it? The most dazzling light often comes from the most ordinary soul! Xiaoqi Yeye's *Under the Halo* is such a story—it doesn't tell the legend of genius, but only how an ordinary child clumsily and stubbornly pursues his own colorful dreams. There are no earth-shattering reversals, no magic formula; the protagonist is just that unremarkable child next door. But the brilliance lies in the author's raw, realistic writing, shattering the illusion that "success requires blending into the crowd." When the protagonist gradually realizes that "**the crowd is not as good as you**," that clumsy self-awakening bursts forth with astonishing primal power! It's rough yet real, like unpolished crystal, refracting the most genuine glimmer of light. If you've ever felt lost in the crowd, if you still harbor a small, unseen fantasy, this book is for you! It gently tells you: **Step out, you shine brighter than the crowd!**

I suggest you reread Chapter One of 'The Survival Rules of the Cultivation World'—'Reincarnation is a Skill'."

Seeing this, Lu Youyou immediately took a step back, exaggeratedly clutching her chest: "Wow, no way, no way? Someone wants to hit the sect leader's daughter? I admire your courage!" As she spoke, she winked to the side, and sure enough, a disciple from the Enforcement Hall immediately walked over with a cold face: "Private fighting is forbidden within the sect; violators will be severely punished." Liu Yan'er could only grit her teeth and withdraw her spiritual power, glaring fiercely at Lu Youyou: "You just wait!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from behind: "Lu Youyou." She turned around and saw a man in white standing with his hands behind his back, his features handsome and his demeanor otherworldly, looking at her calmly. Lu Youyou blinked and tentatively asked, "This... Senior Brother?" The man frowned slightly: "What trick are you playing now?" Lu Youyou: "..." Oh no, who is this? One of the five senior brothers? Or just a passerby? She chuckled awkwardly and forced a smile: "Um... The weather is really nice today, isn't it?"
