"The Nemesis at the Next Table Is a Bit Sweet"

A cool scientific god × a straightforward art student, a pair of happy friends with clear ideas. They never give in to each other's words, but their actions always reveal the truth in both directions. The senior high school students hide their secret feelings and have been together for many years across the two cities. Many years later, on the streets of Chang'an, a rational boy confessed frankly: All evidence can prove that I like you, no testing is needed. Concept: Core concept: True growth is the courage to face one's own imperfections. Su Wan went from "using style as an excuse to avoid shortcomings" to "admitting that she was not good at drawing facial features and practicing hard", from scoring fifty-eight in math to scoring one hundred and one in the college entrance examination - every improvement she made was not due to talent, but to gritting her teeth and making up for her shortcomings piece by piece. The story tells readers through her transformation: covering up shortcomings can only gain temporary safety, while facing shortcomings can gain true freedom. The second level of conception: Love is not sweet words, but every "incidental" hidden in actions. Lu Zhiyan never gave in, but he would buy an extra meal when she had low blood sugar. When she was being bullied online, he would check her IP address, read the rating details, and write a data analysis post of several hundred words. Su Wan never said she liked it, but her sketchbook was filled with his drawings. The dark chocolate she bought changed from milk flavor to 72% and then to 85% cocoa content - because he said it was too sweet. True affection does not need to be spoken, it is hidden in every quiet action. The third level of idea: The power of friendship is when someone spends an entire noon drawing an anatomy diagram for you. Lin Zhi was not good at words, but when Su Wan needed it most, she read through all the art anatomy books and used her lunch break to draw a complete set of eye structure diagrams, marking every key point. Zhao Yiming usually has a playful smile, but he would spend three days braiding a colorful rope paintbrush and stuffing it into Su Wan's hand before she left for Beijing to compete. True friends never need to say too much, they show it all with their actions. The fourth level of intention: You don't have to be a perfect person, but you have to be a real person. Jiang Lai is the most "perfect" character in the book - excellent grades, gentle and decent, and loved by everyone. But her perfection is a carefully maintained mask, beneath which lies jealousy, calculation and unwillingness. In contrast, Su Wan's face is full of paint, her mouth is unforgiving, and she is full of emotions, but she lives a real and passionate life. The story uses the contrast between the two of them to remind readers that false perfection is far less moving than real imperfection. You don't have to be what everyone likes, you just have to be yourself.
