When we are young, at an age when we can't say love, we can only say like. That kind of faint liking may be less than one-tenth of the love in the adult world, but it is much more pure than love.
Lin Shu said that her first love was so pure and simple that she had already penetrated the wall of time and reached the other side of light before she even had time to think about it carefully.
Her story, or the "love history" of her youth, corresponds to the ups and downs in the development of the novel, and can be summarized in just four sentences.
Q: She likes Zhang Chen, another term for that kind of love is called "secret love".
Cheng: Her love is well hidden, she thinks.
Turn: She liked him, he always knew it. He said he did the same, but what? Like her too.
Together: We were together before, but not anymore. This is called separation. They didn't even reach this stage, and they were back to square one, strangers to each other.
