[If anyone reads this, I'll turn it into a proper danmei story. If not, I'll post the rest of my drafts and make it a story about family instead. I wrote this three years ago, so please forgive me. If it's not to your taste, just click away. But no matter what, there'll be no disposable characters, no cheating, and both leads will be each other's one and only. That's a promise.
Those were my original thoughts. Now I've finally seen the light. Only today have I remembered why I started writing: It's wonderful to have someone by your side through a lonely journey. But if there's no one, then you should still walk on with grace and ease.]
In a nutshell: A heartwarming story about two miserable kids with tragic childhoods who love and support each other as they grow into responsible, well-rounded young men who don't hate the world.
The literary version: All my past misfortunes were so I could meet you.
CP: Gan Nan x Su Bei
I can't pin down their character types yet, so here are a few details I'm sure of.
Seme: Loves sweets, fair skin, ears turn red [and can be used for acting cute]
Uke: Lets the little things go, but is strong-willed about the big things [cold to others, doting on the seme]
As for whether it's heartwarming, I can guarantee that the only thing standing in their way will be each other. Once they've made up their minds, they'll stay devoted and determined, no matter how hard things get. So a happy ending is guaranteed.
Timeline: High school, college, working life
Thanks to the lovely Hua Ba user Yi_Chengfeng for making the cover [She was a high school senior and still spent three nights editing it for me. That must have been exhausting -3-]
A story about a rich second-generation supermarket owner uke who pursues a seme who teaches elementary school math.
P.S. 1. I'm a fan of couples who dote on each other, so fellow fans can jump right in.
2. I'm not good at melodrama, so fans of slice-of-life stories can jump right in. (If you see some tired old melodrama, it's definitely there to move the plot along. Please forgive me - -)
3. Let me know if the characters feel out of character, but please don't interfere with my general characterization. Thanks.
Thanks to the lovely Hua Ba user blooddiff for making the beautiful poster -3-
P.S. Please note! All updates from now on will be revised chapters~ The first five chapters especially need a lot of work. Orz
Important P.S.: This may be too late to say now, but to keep anyone else from stumbling into a landmine: the locked chapter contains the uke taking the seme's role, which may upset some readers. Please don't download it from elsewhere to read... Sorry, everyone. It doesn't bother me, so I didn't think it through. My apologies!
Also: This is an urban fairy tale, written just to make you smile. Please don't take it too seriously~
I heard there's going to be a crackdown... I'm a coward, so I'll lock the story for now - -
Theme:
Why didn't I discover this article earlier_(:з∠)_ It's really to my liking. I'm so annoyed by the "smart" children in many articles who compete with adults and always disrespect their elders (they are basically clingy and hate attacking, and the shou always puts the child in a more important position than attacking. There are also plots of children clamoring to marry and be kicked out... I really hate this kind of plot. What is the point of two people always coaxing the other to give in to the other?
To the south is the sky, to the north is the earth. How should I put it? I suddenly found this name when I was looking for an article. I didn't know why I clicked on it and read it. So I stared at the computer for several hours and finally finished reading it. Jinjiang doesn't have too many realistic BLs, at least I rarely see it on lists or searches, so I was quite looking forward to it when I read this article. And indeed it is. Very warm. Whether it's Gannan or Northern Jiangsu, their love is always true until death. Let's just say, I've never been in love so I don't know = = What is love? I am looking for the unknown emotion in many articles that can convince me that this is love. Although I still like some cool articles, I still can't find that kind of emotion. However, the feelings this book gave me were very real. It seems that that is love. Whether Gannan or Subei (Sansan's naming seems a bit lazy), Tong Yao or Xia Qingwen (I like Xia Qingwen very much), Yan Jing (this one is super lazy) or Gan Zhengtian (dear Gannan daddy, I like him very much), etc., Their love, family affection, and friendship are all around us, but sometimes we turn a blind eye. Cherish. This article highlights one point (for me, I don't know if Sansan thought about it when he wrote it) Time can change a lot of things, but I think sometimes it's people's hearts that really make things change. You think it or not, you want it or you don't want it. The same is true for Dong Feiyan and Su Qin, and Su Qin's change of heart. What you write seems a bit too formal = = Maybe it's because I wrote too much after reading, haha The lyrics of "Ten Years" appear at the end of the chapter. I like this song very much. Gannan and Northern Jiangsu have spent more than ten years together, I believe. They will weather more storms in the future. Although it ends here, their story continues. Thank you Sansan for writing such a story, plain and heartwarming, which makes me believe more and look forward to love~ [Forget about those scumbag loves XD] [Is this considered a long review? I always feel it's not long enough, but that's what I want~]
Isn't Lifeng going to open a new pit? (O?ω? O)
It's too inconvenient to type on a mobile phone, so please forgive me for not commenting. I just want to say that your writing is really good. You can grasp so many details and I feel full of love when I read it. Keep up the good work.
It's so sweet, it's so sweet that your mouth won't feel bitter anymore! (^∇^)
Suddenly I miss Baozi Husband, and Baozi still has the rhythm of watching it from the end... I want to wait until I have a holiday and ask him to watch it together. It seems to me that although he just picked up Baozi from the hotel when we got married, there were no flowers, no proposal, no bridesmaid and best man, but my parents My mother, grandparents, uncles and aunts traveled thousands of miles to send me off to get married, which was the happiest thing for Baozi. Although Baozi was still separated from her husband, those tickets were put in a thick pile in a box~ It turned out that we had come so far ^_^ Come on Sansan, Baozi sleeps!
I decided to write this review after thinking about it for a long time. As a science student, I will just read it. Haha, I know that this article was recommended by my cousin in early June. I read it intermittently, and then I was busy with graduation and completing the formalities. I didn't finish it until the end of July. I joked with Ji Xi and asked him to join Nanbei and the others to form Southeast and Northwest. It tells about the chapters before Gannan and Subei didn't meet. I read it for the first time. To be honest, I didn't have the patience to read it anymore, and I really didn't read it again. It was a coincidence that I continued to read it. I was reading another book that I deleted by mistake and then re-downloaded it and looked for keywords to see where I found it. I made a mistake, so I found the North and South book in Chapter 49. The scene where Xia Qingwen talked to Su Bei on the rooftop was deeply touching. I read a few more chapters to the chapter about Sheng Xinran's university banquet where Su Bei said to Gan Nan that you are mine. I silently clicked on the table of contents and jumped back to the first chapter. I read it carefully. The two of them quarreled over the laundry issue. Su Bei said Okay, I'm not qualified to care about you. We don't agree with each other. I'm leaving. It's not a good feeling after reading this. Maybe I have done stupid things similar to Gan Nan's behavior, which further deepens the idea of better for the little baby. So, nothing can better adjust the personalities of two people than living together. What is simply the truth, and the support the two gave each other during the high school period. Very few people can do this, right? In the middle volume, I have read this part many times. As mentioned above, I will continue to read it because of this part. Every time I see Gan Nan ask Su Bei, "Do you want me anymore?" There, although it doesn't make me cry like He, it's not much better. I have a habit that I can't say is good or bad. After being too sad, I have no desire to talk. People who worry too much will become timid, as if their hands and feet are restrained. I like Gan Nan's pure love for Su Bei. He is the only one he needs to think about. And the words he said when Su Bei was sick, thank you for your hard work. But I won't be grateful or guilty because it's your responsibility. You should take care of me. Isn't this how lovers should be, willing to take care of each other and the unwavering affection for their lover after facing confusion? Volume 2: Hand in hand, life is just life, and it is all life. When I saw Gan Nan celebrating Su Bei's birthday and relived my childhood, I suddenly felt that I had no regrets in life. The story comes from life. I have read many books. Although in terms of wording and description, this book about North and South is not as good as others. I read a comment about He Yi on Weibo before and said something that was quite good. The author's writing is not very good compared to the collections I have read before, but the trivial details of life that connect things move me more than the gorgeous paragraphs and sentences. I also want to say this. Hundreds of thousands of words. Thank you for sharing a warm and beautiful story. Comparatively. The author also said that Cheng Wei's writing is more than a little better than this one, but this is my favorite BL Xiang article that I have read so far. As long as you continue writing, I will continue to read it. My friend said that waking up early in the morning to write such a long comment is definitely true love. Hahaha. I can't write the thousand words I originally expected. My inspiration has dried up, so let's do it. Shen.9/30
North and South have finally been unlocked. Big, I'm looking forward to another new pit from you. This is the fourth time I've watched North and South. I feel warm every time
Eating donuts and watching the sweet extras~ It's so refreshing! Keep up the good work~
I didn't expect to write two long comments on an article, which is probably enough to show my love for it. I have always had the habit of listening to music and writing. Now I am listening to Secret Garden's Serenade To Spring, which makes me feel as warm as spring, like a story between the north and the south. (The author should not miss it!) When I stayed in my room watching the North and South that winter, it always reminded me of a night during the holiday in my freshman year of high school. That day, my parents went out for something, and they had to make dinner by themselves. So I went to buy a bowl of wontons from an uncle I knew well, and then walked on the road with it. The song Papillon, which also happens to be from Secret Garden, is playing in my headphones (please listen to it). There is a wind in the autumn night. At that time, I feel that life is moving very slowly. It would be nice to live like this for the rest of my life. Maybe it's like Mu Xin said in Jackson Heights, "I don't know what to forgive, but I honestly feel that everything in this world can be forgiven." I always feel that the sentence you put in the copywriting of "All my misfortunes in the past happened because I met you" has such meaning. . . The first time I watched North and South, I watched it twice. The first time I read it was at home, with the windows bright and clean. I put my hands on the yellow wooden table and read your story. Then, I looked at the snow outside the window and the piles of books and papers in the house. When I see a section I particularly like, I fall on the bed and roll around. . . The second time was at grandma's house, on the second floor of "Wu Zheng Wu Zheng". I was drinking my favorite Tieguanyin, and behind me were two two-story magnolia trees, as well as the ever-present test papers. . . This is why although Nan Bei and Cheng Wei both liked it, it was Bei Nan who touched me the most. I always feel that my most difficult youth and bitterness are blended with them. It's also because I know many of the authors from North to South, which makes me understand better how they were carefully shaped. Reading a lot of books is like traveling far away, gaining insights along the way and broadening your knowledge along the way. And your story can be watched at home with a good tune. It always makes me feel that many familiar scenes were engraved at a specific time. It's like a pancake I used to eat when I was a kid. The pancake is spread out into a foot shape, wrapped in sugar, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and baked on the inner wall of the boiler. When it is baked, the sugar inside has melted and overflowed from the expanded outer shell. I don't know if you can understand this feeling, just like that kind of pancake, every time you see it, you will remember the feeling of childhood even if you don't eat it. Even if I don't read your story in the future, it will still remind me of the North and South who are always in love and always young in the story. What a joy that you wrote a story that can be warmed. The story includes the growth of Gannan and Northern Jiangsu, and you and I are also growing in the story. If you can live with the fairy tale in your heart without changing, that would be great. The sun sets and the moon rises, the tide rises and falls, all things are replaced, but the city never sleeps. But in your city, let me see the lights, the lights that Gan's father and Su's mother lit for the north and the south, the lights that Gannan dimmed for the north of Jiangsu, and the lights that northern Jiangsu turned itself into Gannan. In an era when colorful neon lights drown the stars and moonlight in splendor, how rare the small and subtle light you wrote in the story is. I have never deliberately elevated North and South. From a so-called professional perspective, it is indeed not a classic. But that doesn't stop me from liking this story. This is like the last one in Jin Shengtan's thirty-three poems, "How happy it is to read the biography of the bearded guest, what a pleasure!" It's like I love my motherland regardless of the reason. I always wonder what would happen if I saw the long review I wrote one day when I am very old. I think I will definitely be grateful that I couldn't sleep that night and typed the first word, so I was able to write down my pure love for an article without reservation, and let you, the author of it, see it. I really feel the love between the two. I always remember the phrase "As long as it's you, I like it." How deep of feelings does it take for someone to blurt out such words? I have always felt that China is the most romantic group in the world. They give each other hair and red beans to express lovesickness. Therefore, I have always felt that some of the simplest and most straightforward words are full of affection. Gan Nan said to Su Bei, "I want to take care of you," "Ten years is nothing, we have a lifetime," and "With you by my side, my life is called life." Su Bei said to Gan Nan, "I like to see you do what you like", and "Gan Nan, I love you." The author yourself has also said, "The way to get along in love - you treat me as I treat you." For a moment, I felt that you had solved the conflict between lovers for thousands of years. If you and I can really be the same, why worry about growing old? Maybe when you see many people around you falling in love, you first ask if the other person's family is rich. It seems that if you yearn for true love, it is a joke. I have indeed been laughed at by people, saying, "Who wants to live a hard life together? Love, let's talk about material things. If you don't have enough to eat, do you have time to talk about love?" I have to admit that she has a point, but I still have some longing for it. It's not about love, all touching feelings, best friends, closest family members, when they touch you, is that the time when they give you money? When Su Bei stood outside waiting for Gan Nan at night, taking out his coat from his backpack and giving him honey water, my heart almost softened. Could this be related to matter? This can be described as a lack of deep love. This is love. You are in the deepest place in my heart, and I use all my heat to warm you. This kind of feeling cannot be brought about by LV bags or expensive rings and jewelry. They can't bring you a scarf in winter, they can't give you support when you're most helpless, and they can't kiss you gently and say cautiously, "Do you understand what I mean?" I like jade very much. I always feel that jade can connect people. If you wear it for a long time, it will have its own aura as you age. North and South make me feel that they are like each other's jade, contaminating each other's energy. Every time their noses touch each other and talk, I feel warmth from the hair to the soles of my feet. I didn't talk about the characters in my mind in detail last time. I want to talk about it this time. Let's start from North Jiangsu. As the most touching Danmei novel I have read so far, I really love him so much. His calmness, his responsibility, his lack of pretentiousness and ruthlessness towards his father, his love and sacrifice for his mother and countless concealments, his wavering for his lover and then his indomitableness for his lover, his dedication to Gannan, his love for Gannan Gan Nan's pampering but not indulgence, when he took out sleeping pills to negotiate with Gan's father, when he made food for Nan Nan, when he was sick and acted coquettishly, all made me wonder, author, how on earth did you write such a character that makes me want to stop. It's not that he has never been looked down upon by others, it's not that he doesn't have the shadow of childhood, and he hasn't always lived a smooth life like me, but he is tough but not an iron man. He is cold but full of tenderness towards Gannan. He has a selfish side but wants to give the best to Gannan. He did it because Gannan had him. Is there anything better than this? I like this Su Bei to my core, really. And my cute Gongjun---little boy Nannan. As an offensive and control player, I love Gannan beyond words. He is indeed immature, living like a second-generation ancestor, and does not understand Gan's father and his grandmother. When I saw Gan Nan's confession to his grandma, I was actually very moved. I was also raised by my grandma, and I am very close to her. When I wrote about my grandma's love for him, I thought of my grandma. She would secretly buy me shoes and make clothes without letting my cousin know. I can understand how he feels in his heart. But what a good child he is after all. His care for Su Bei from the beginning, his guilt and confusion after being accused by Xia Qingwen, his growth after understanding the truth, and his compensation for Gan's father make people feel his sincerity, his inner kindness and his attitude of living with heart. Watching him transform step by step, becoming more and more like a man, I feel like "I have a grown up son". In fact, this should be the author's feeling. . . He has never been a person who only knows how to take, and his rewards are quite "moisturizing things silently", bit by bit, full of infiltration, and one day, you suddenly find that everything is his good. Ganba and rigorous. I love Dad Gan so much, he is a tolerant and strong man. Really, after so many years of planning and loneliness, he carried it all by himself. He loved Gannan in his clumsy way, and he prevented the north and south from getting together. I think it's normal. Isn't it also because of love and intolerance that he compromised in the end? How can you say that he is not a good father? And rigorous, I admire her for daring to love and hate, for her daring to wait, to spend the best years of a woman waiting for a man who still can't let go of the past. Even though there are resentments and pains, she will never leave. They deserve each other. And Su Ma. She had no hesitation when she was young and made a clean break in the end. She fought for her career for Su Bei. She actually felt a lot of guilt in her heart and felt that she had made things difficult for her child. But as a woman, how could she not feel sad? That was the person she was prepared to love for the rest of her life, dragging her in and beating her. However, mother, as a mother, she stood up for her son. I was so happy for her subsequent happiness. I just want to say one thing about Xia Tong and the two. They quietly touched my heart with their laughter and cuteness, which I have been indifferent to for a long time. I like it. . . Having said this, I realize that I have said a lot and still have many digressions. Don't be surprised! I will always remember the time when I wrote you a long review in the middle of the night and the stories you made me have the urge to type, and let them live in my memory. People always seem to be longing for, really, love and happiness. However, they never look at themselves. What a shame! People use the long river of life to explore the mist on the other side. I dream of getting the flowers blooming on the top of the towering trees, but I can't see the golden sand shining slightly under the river of sorrow. If we permanently ignore what we already have, we will eventually get what we want but will not get it. If happiness is used on the other side To me, the North and the South are like dusty treasures that I accidentally picked up. After a closer look, I am full of surprises. They express happiness in the simplest form----life. The way I love you deeply is to spend the rest of my life walking with you. The following is still written to the author: I have chatted with the author several times, and it feels like we are communicating in various ways, right? I found a lot in common with both of them. It feels like it's not easy for a weirdo like me to find teammates. I think you can roughly tell what kind of person a person is from his words. Last time, I said that I was a little confused when I talked about my character to Qingyin. In fact, what I said to Qingyin at that time was that I thought it was very good. I didn't follow the crowd and write for utilitarian purposes. It didn't have many readers or collections, but I always wrote with great care. This is why I write reviews again and again. The feeling that I have put so much effort into writing a story that I hope will be liked and recognized by others is very clear to me as I recently published a short story. Therefore, our "Qing Family" rushed to confess our feelings to you. Isn't it sweet? . . . Knowing that there will be new articles, I really feel that I have the first hope for my four years in college. Although I have to study hard and enrich myself, I also need to support articles written by great authors. . . It's the Mid-Autumn Festival now. I'm sending you mooncakes from the air, hehe. . . We share the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart. . . Your story reminds me of a sentence I wrote a long time ago. Only when people don't take themselves too seriously will they not take life too lightly. Thank you also for never taking our desire to support you lightly.
