    "I was hit hard by the BE article recently, and I came here specifically to "suffer" with you! To be honest, the beauty of the BE article is that it is not perfect. The two characters are so good, but they have to be torn apart by fate; the misunderstanding can be solved in one sentence, but it is suppressed until the end; you think there will be a turn for the better, but the author suddenly turns his pen and gives you the cruelest blow. You may cry until you pull out the paper while reading, but you can still keep it in your mind for several days after closing the book. Those unspoken words, unfinished agreements, and passing moments are more impressive than any happy ending. It's like a small hole in your heart, which hurts a little, but you can't help but reminisce about the sour feeling.

    Recommended Secret Love BE Articles | It's hard to let go of the meaning hidden in words. I recently discovered a batch of excellent Secret Love BE Articles. They are so powerful that I won't be able to get out of them for a long time after reading them. I'd like to give them a thumbs up! "She Stops Coaxing Him" ​​(Sweet Pet of Youth·Loyal Dog): A masterpiece with a high score of 9.7. It is loved by those who are cautious on campus. From rushing enthusiastically to quietly leaving, the ending of BE is like the unspoken regrets of youth. It has full stamina. I couldn't stop crying when I read it. The delicacy of the male protagonist of the loyal dog is so touching. "The Little Sad Thing of Secret Love" (high-quality emotion): 9.8 Points for the title of God! The sourness, inferiority, and forbearance of secret love are written to the extreme. Those loves hidden in corners failed to bloom in the end. Aunt Cheng cried and felt heartbroken after watching it all. Who understands the dull pain of not getting what you want? "Addiction to Gentleness" (Starlight·1v1): 9.2 Points. Secret love is mixed with the workplace and starlight. In the trap of tenderness, the pull of love that is not available is overwhelming. The ending of BE makes this "addiction" become a cinnabar mole on the heart, which I will never forget. These articles crush the beauty and regret of secret love and feed it to you. BE aesthetic lovers close their eyes and prepare tissues, and let's immerse ourselves in feeling the pain together!

    Here I come!!! [Sneaky laugh] [Sneaky laugh] 1 3 5 are campus BE novels, 2 4 are modern BE novels [smirk] The first one, I personally think it is better, the heroine passed away because of the outbreak of the epidemic, it is very real, sweet first and then cruel [fear] The second one, the protagonist setting is quite interesting, the heroine is a policeman, and the hero is a suspect [shocked] In the third book, the male protagonist is a sunny and warm academic leader, and the female protagonist is a little transparent in the class at the beginning. After falling in love with the male protagonist, she studies hard and tries her best to catch up with the male protagonist. Unfortunately... (No spoilers) [makes a face] I also like the fourth book quite a lot. The romance be + reasoning element, the male protagonist is missing at the beginning. In the process of investigating the death of the male protagonist, the female protagonist reveals touching and guilty, beautiful and desperate past events and truths [crying] [crying] In the fifth book, the female protagonist is quite miserable. The boy she likes dies, and the male protagonist helps her step by step out of this heart-wrenching memory. Unfortunately...
