Previously, I stopped following the updates when the main text was over. I put it aside for a while thinking that the extras would be normal daily life, and then I came back to read them half a year later...! I didn't expect that the extra chapter would be longer than the main text, hahaha. In my opinion, the storyline of the main text is like slight ripples on the water, but the extra layer lifts up this surface to let you see the rough waves below. Henry's smoking and slightly unnatural behavior mentioned many times in the main text are all explained in the extra chapter (yes, I think the focus of the extra chapter is mainly on Henry, because of the symbiotic relationship between Henry and Channing, through Henry you can get more glimpses of some of Channing's traits) I still like the heroine the most in this book. I like Qian Ning's frankness about desires. Why are men so romantic when dealing with lovers, while women are criticized for being hesitant between lovers? (What's wrong with such an excellent woman having to play with a few more men...!) I really like Gu Ji's British-style articles. It really gives me the feeling of being in London. There is always a lightness of effort, and I also like the professional knowledge that can be picked up at will... These are all manifestations of improving the quality of writing! It seems that I have never noticed the prototype building of Channing Tower in London before. Next time I go there, I will take a photo with it! When I read the main text, I felt particularly sorry for Henry. I liked the scene the three of them lying on the bed together looking at the ceiling after the engagement party. It was like dreaming of Paris. At that time, I was still thinking about liking the taboo feeling of being away from each other, but it would be great if my younger brother could really take over. But when he really took over in the extra chapter, I was a little afraid of such strong and sticky feelings. Instead, I joined the team in the extra chapter. JA [Crying] I really like this kind of affectionate bastard character. If you ask me, the most exciting ending should be that Qian Ning and JA get married, and Dylan becomes the 3 hahaha. The most ridiculous and romantic bastard can only watch his partner have a lover, and the most ascetic person is the third party (of course his brother will always be by his side). My favorite scene in the extra chapter is the scene where the three of them smoke and drink together and fall on the floor. The 20-year-olds can't go back but they seem to have been in their public school days...
The infinity swimming pool of Qian Ning's house reflected the bright starry sky, and the fireworks in Victoria Harbor in the distance were already blooming sporadically. She was wearing a champagne-colored silk suspender dress, standing barefoot on the edge of the heated swimming pool, with vintage champagne in the crystal glass in her hand. "Princess," Jerry's smiling voice came from behind, "are you hiding here alone, waiting for me?" Channing turned around and saw Jerry wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, with his blond hair sticking to his forehead wetly. His figure was slender and well-proportioned, glowing with health in the moonlight. "Stop being so pretentious." She took a sip of champagne. Jerry sat down next to her and reached for her wine glass: "Let me have a taste." Qian Ning dodged his hand and said, "Go get it yourself." "The one in your hand smells better." Jerry leaned closer, with a cunning light in his amber eyes. "Qian Ning." Another voice sounded, it was Dylan. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, holding a cashmere shawl in his hand, "It's cold at night." Qian Ning took the shawl and smelled the faint scent of cedar on it. Dylan sat down on the other side of her, his slender fingers unconsciously caressing the cuff buttons of his shirt. "Bb." Henry's voice came from the swimming pool. He had dived into the water at some point and was lying on the edge of the pool, looking at her with wet violet eyes, "come down and play." Qian Ning shook his head: "I'm wearing a skirt." "What does it matter?" Henry tilted his head, "We are the only ones here anyway." Jerry laughed: "That's right, princess, come down." Dylan didn't speak, but Channing noticed that his Adam's apple rolled. The New Year's countdown sounded in the distance: "Ten, nine, eight..." Jerry suddenly stood up and picked up Qian Ning. "What are you doing!" Qian Ning exclaimed. "Welcome the new millennium, princess." Jerry smiled and jumped into the swimming pool with her in his arms. The warm water enveloped the whole body, and Qian Ning's skirt spread out in the water, like a blooming flower. She emerged from the water and saw that Dylan had also entered the water at some point. His shirt was soaked and clinging to his body, outlining his strong muscle lines. Henry swam to her side and gently hugged her waist: "bb, happy new year." Jerry came over from the other side: "Princess, is it time to give me a New Year's kiss?" Before Qian Ning could answer, she felt a hand clasping the back of her head. It's Dylan. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, his movements gentle but unacceptable. "Hey!" Jerry shouted dissatisfied, "You're cheating!" Henry chuckled: "bb is mine." "No," Dylan let go of Qian Ning, her voice hoarse, "She's mine." Qian Ning looked at the three men in front of him and suddenly smiled: "Why can't they all be the same?" In the distance, the New Year's bell rang and fireworks bloomed in the night sky. In the swimming pool, four figures were entangled together, and the water splashed everywhere. It was impossible to tell whose hands were touching and whose lips were kissing. The next morning, the sun shines on the lounge chairs by the pool. Four wet bath towels were hung casually on the back of the chair, and champagne glasses, men's shirts and a champagne-colored silk suspender skirt were scattered on the floor. In the swimming pool, the water is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Occasionally, a breeze blows by, causing ripples in circles, as if telling the story of last night.

Why is it coming to an end? I really can't bear to let it go! I would like to call this article the top-level modern fairy tale in my heart. Every character is real and "perfect" just right... I am shameless and ask Gu Ji again if he can write fragments of their lives from time to time. Both the main text line and the if line are fine! Give your children a few more bites of food! It's a ball orz…
I read back the main text and found out that Qian Ning had a contract not to fall in love, so the extra story used the idea of not falling in love to set up obstacles for the male and female protagonists, thereby giving the female protagonist a chance to develop a relationship with Henry Jerry. Despite this, I still feel that this excuse for not falling in love is too blunt and inexplicable, so that the heroine of the extra story makes me feel less attractive (even irresponsible and annoying), and not worthy of three men surrounding her... In short, the emotional Shura field is very touching, but the emotional logic line is very, very far-fetched. Finally, the reason why the male and female protagonists broke up in 1999 was revealed. My reaction was: "That's it?!" They were really two boring big-scale dramas. . . My favorite is Tina. Maybe the charm of football is more intuitive. Even if Tina attracts Patrick Phil Benjamin Hans at the same time, she doesn't feel like Tina Marisu at all, because she is really excellent and charming. Both Qian Ning and Peng Yang feel a little suspended in this article. Of course, the extra is still good to watch. It is one of the few novels this year that can be read in one sitting. It is full of tension and excitement. I feel especially sorry for Henry. If he really ends up spending his whole life with "her", I feel so depressed. I also feel that the heroine's previous care and companionship were like a joke, but in the end she made her condition worse. . . I still hope that Henry can really come out of it. Not being loved is not painful, but mental illness is really bad. . . In terms of plot, I prefer the story of losing virginity and the castle sardine game, including the hunting scenes which are also very good. Every scene between the heroine and Dylan in the early stage is also very interesting (I didn't like it until the emotional line became weird in the later stage) In addition, the author's use of flashbacks and POVs is also very good. I am generally not used to this kind of non-linear, non-third-person, non-mainstream narrative method, but the author used it very well in this article. If the story lines of 1997 and 2001 were not advanced in the early stage to set up suspense, readers might not be able to make it to the end.
When I saw this title, my eyes suddenly watered. This was a footnote to the love between Qian Ning and Dylan from beginning to end. I was even more moved that I thought this was the last chapter, but it turned out to be a chapter. Recently, I reviewed every detail of the if line. In Chapter 126, it was mentioned that Ja proposed in the castle, and Dada also said that "my wife Qian Ning" will not change, so the so-called ending has been written long ago, but the conflict and entanglement in the if line materializes them, making it more real and touching. In fact, the point where I have always firmly supported Dilan is that Qian Ning herself is a great businessman. She does not shy away from her greedy and selfish side, but she always inadvertently reveals her appreciation for Dilan's idealistic side, and it is not a bottom-up gaze, but a rather cultivated feeling. In this way, Qian Ning is really charming and will indeed make people unforgettable. In this matter, Dilan arrived earlier than JA.
I've finished reading it. It's a very, very satisfying experience. Although it doesn't have the thrill of catching up on updates and scratching my lungs, I feel very refreshed after reading it in one breath... If the main text is like a fairy tale, the if line is a completely Gu Ji style bloody fairy tale. It's hard for me to say which one is better, but I do secretly love the extras more. The duality of each character is fully described. When watching the World Cup, I was still a staunch CP party and clearly supported the destined Pana. Now that I see this story, I can only think that the logic of the character's choice follows their two sides or even multiple sides? But in a sense, this is also fate. I like Qian Ning very much. She is so gentle and cold, and loves her own alpha woman more. She is different from the heroines in the previous stories, but she is so charming and charming. After reading the whole story, if I have to choose a favorite character, it must be her (past experience is that I have either two favorites, or the favorite is a male character). After so many years, my mentality when reading the article has actually changed a lot from the stage of the World Cup universe. I still want to thank Gu Ji for contributing such a good story. See you in the next story.
Why the hell is this the last chapter? I can't let go of the fairy tale written in 2023 to 24. It's a bit sad. Readers and the author follow the story from one issue to the next, and the beginning and end of the story never seem to be decided by me. Sad, when will a new story start?
When will the baby publish a new article?
Qian Ning stood by the swimming pool, the cold feeling of the wine glass in her hand gradually dissipated, and the moonlight fell softly on her bare shoulders. She raised her eyes and looked at the calm water, reflecting the lights and fireworks in the distance, as if time had stopped at this moment. "Standing like a statue, are you waiting for me, princess?" Jerry's voice came along with the faint scent of wine. His blond hair seemed to be coated with a thin layer of gold foil under the light, and he had his usual uninhibited smile on his lips. Qian Ning glanced sideways at him and did not answer, but gently shook the wine glass in his hand. Jerry walked forward and stood close to her, his eyes scanning her body unscrupulously, "You know, how many people here want to spend tonight with you, but only the three of us got this honor. You should be grateful." "Thank you?" Qian Ning smiled softly, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "You should be glad that I didn't kick you out." Just as Jerry was about to speak again, a deep voice came from behind, "Don't waste your time with him." Dylan came over, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, and his cold eyes were like a sharp blade, cutting across Jerry's shoulder. Even though his movements were restrained, he still had a sense of oppression that could not be ignored when standing next to Qian Ning. "Say it as if you can have the upper hand." Jerry raised his eyebrows and smiled deeper. He deliberately put his hand on Qian Ning's waist and carelessly stroked the smooth curve. Channing did not avoid it, but turned his head to Henry. The latter stood quietly on the other side of the swimming pool, staring at her intently, as if he wanted to carve her into his mind. His eyes were gentle and dangerous, like a cat with hidden claws. "I was wondering if it would be easier if I was the only one with you, bb?" Henry spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, but with a faint obsession. Qian Ning did not answer, but looked down at the wine glass in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips. Then, she raised her head and glanced at the three of them, with a hint of amusement, "Since you are all here, there is no need to choose." The tension in the air seemed to be ignited in an instant. She turned around and walked towards the cabana by the pool, her skirt swaying in the moonlight with a fatal attraction. She didn't look back, but her voice came clearly, "Follow me." The three of them looked at each other, and Jerry took the lead and said, "She said there's no need to choose, so don't keep her waiting." Dylan followed closely behind, still with the indifferent expression on his face, but there was some determination hidden in his eyes. Henry stood there for a moment, then showed a smile, his eyes were complicated and fiery, and finally took a step forward. **The next morning, by the swimming pool** The early morning sunlight shines on the poolside through the gauze curtains, and last night's carnival seems to still be echoing in the air. Several empty wine glasses were scattered on the floor, and the cushions on the sofa were slightly tilted, obviously having experienced some kind of violent collision. Qian Ning was half-leaning on the sofa, wearing a men's shirt. His bare legs were slightly bent, and a silver chain on his ankle reflected the faint light. She held an unlit cigarette between her fingers and looked lazily out the window. Dylan sat next to her, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. His expression was still stern, but when his eyes fell on her, there was some secret tenderness. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the strap on his wrist was loose. Jerry was lying on the sofa on the other side, his blond hair was messy, and he had a satisfied smile on his lips. He stretched lazily, turned his head to look at Qian Ning, and said with a hint of teasing in his voice, "Princess, were you satisfied with my performance last night?" "Performance?" Qian Ning raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced past him, landing on the swimming pool outside the window. "I only remember that someone was almost pushed into the water." "That's also to please you." Jerry shrugged and replied casually. Henry sat on the carpet, leaning against the edge of the sofa, holding his knees with his hands and resting his head on the sofa. He looked sideways at Qian Ning, his eyes were soft and almost dreamy, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Were you really happy last night, bb?" Qian Ning did not answer, but lowered his head and blew the cigarette in his hand gently, then placed it on the coffee table. She raised her head, glanced at the three of them, and raised a smile, "It's not important, the New Year has just begun, and there is still a lot of time." The wind by the swimming pool carries the coolness of the morning, and last night's carnival seems to be just a dream, but those subtle traces remain in everyone's eyes and hearts and cannot be ignored.

I completely understand why Chan Ning loves Dylan, and why Dylan is the one who gets married to her. Dylan's arrogance is in his bones, but that's Chan Ning, so he can break his bones into pieces and reshape them. They are soulmates, and they have an irreplaceable attraction to each other. Jerry's return as a prodigal son does not deserve to be evaluated as a merit. At best, it is just a patch on his corrupt private life. Henry's mental illness and identity make it difficult for me to believe that he can give Channing health and sunshine for a long time. Channing deserves best, Dylan the Great.
