   Hey everyone, look here!!! This is a sweet and sour coming-of-age romance. The female lead is sunny and naturally a bit naive, but when it comes to feelings, she's the kind of sweet girl who doesn't hide her feelings once she realizes them. The male lead is the kind who was aloof since childhood but has a possessive streak towards the female lead, and later suffers from separation anxiety, but they're just sooooo sweet!!! I screamed when they confessed their feelings to each other today! It was so sweet I was tossing and turning in bed. There's only a tiny bit of that typical teenage jealousy, it's all sweet overall. Most importantly, the depiction of life from elementary to high school is so realistic, and the portrayal of the female lead's possessiveness towards her friends is just too good! And the side story of the female supporting character is amazing too!!! You absolutely have to check it out!!!

    On the first day of school, she was dragged into the shade by the latecomer. When Li Luo felt a cool touch on the back of her neck and was lifted under the tree by Pei Yu—before she could even see his face, she heard the headmaster's furious roar. Later, the whole school remembered: that arrogant boy who dared to rebel on the first day of school, only when she passed by would he suppress all his arrogance. "Li Luo," he smiled, pressing an iced soda against her cheek, "I'll only be 'wild' with you, okay?" - It turns out the sweetest form of taming is him willingly putting away his claws for you. - "Pei Yu, you're late again!" "Yeah," he smiled at her, "rushing to see you, is that wrong?" He was the one who was wild, and he was also the one who made her heart flutter—youth began to blossom sweetly from this "kidnapping" under the shade of the tree.

    Reader note

    Tomato's novel *Orange Soda* perfectly captures the bittersweetness of youth! The introverted heroine's cautious steps, the pure, fluttering heart of two first loves, and the unrequited love—"I never want to miss a chance to see you"—are written in a way that tugs at the heartstrings. The first half depicts the innocent tentative explorations on campus: sunlight, school uniforms, the heart-pounding moments of brushing past each other—every scene is like an ice-cold orange soda, refreshing and intoxicating. The second half extends from campus to the city, where those unspoken feelings and regrets of not being brave enough finally resonate after their reunion. There are no clichéd plots, only sincere mutual pursuit. From silent observation at eighteen to courageous pursuit years later, Jiang Qing and Cheng Che's story tells us: good love can make both people better versions of themselves. Whether you are currently experiencing youth or have long since left school, you can find your own bittersweet memories in this book.
