   Reader note

   This is a summary of the books I read this year. The first and second books are both: university teachers (Yu Wenzhou and Ji Shuyun) and students (Shi Sheng and Hua Yu), but the first book is about marriage first and love later. The second book has some metaphysical meanings for the male and female protagonists to be together. The heroine wants to marry the hero if she is safe. She first gets the certificate, then falls in love and finally gets engaged. What is interesting about this book is the sibling relationship between the heroine and her younger brother, which is very touching. There is an age difference between these two books, and both are sweet love stories. The third book is the story of an archeology professor (Shen Xubai) and his only graduate student (Xia Wang), a sweet love story. The fourth book is the story of a doctor (Ji Zhiheng) and a painter (Wen Nian), a sweet love story. (The love in this book is very simple, but it is still very sweet). The fifth book is the story of the director of the Legal Affairs Department (Qiu) and the undertaker (Nan Qing). The sixth book is Teacher Yu Hua's book, Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller. I won't go into details. It's a very good novel. The seventh book is the story of a physics professor (Pei Xiuyan) and his student (Ye Yuncheng), who got married first and fell in love later, with an age difference.

    1V1 Baozi, who loves watching Shuangjie, come over here! This book is really big and beautiful. The double-cleansing setting touches the hearts of young girls. There is no bloody sadomasochism, only a steady flow of preference and tenderness. Reading it feels like holding a toffee that will never melt!! From secretly hiding snacks together to taking the exams for the same university side by side, "She's Too Sweet" vividly describes "I only have you in my youth". Double cleanliness + no third party is the ceiling of pure love with excessive sweetness! There is no industrial saccharin, only the original greenness and sweetness, which makes people want to fall in love after watching it! Highly recommended!!!
