Not quite, actually. The rating system limits how many books I can rate, so plenty of books are still unrated.

If so, hello (^^) I still remember the first time I read "Photos of the Year" in the second grade of junior high school. At that time, I stayed up all night to read "Photos of the Years" and "Beginning of Abandonment and the End of Chaos" for two consecutive nights. I misremembered the titles of these two books at first... When I wanted to dig them out and read them again, I found that they were all wrong. Fortunately, I was very impressed by the name Zhan Ruoling. I searched for these works through Zhan Ruoling, and I quickly wrote down the titles of these two books and Ru Shi's pen name. In the second and third grade of junior high school, I would read these two novels every once in a while. I would secretly read them on my mobile phone at school and secretly turn on my computer at home in the middle of the night. At that time, I really admired and liked the male and female protagonists in the novel. They were so outstanding, self-disciplined and self-effacing. Now I watch Zhan Ruoling and Zhong Ji (iPad) I couldn't find that word TT) and I still couldn't help crying when I read emails that spanned time and oceans. They, Yin Xinhui and Xiao Han were really the most beautiful love in my heart when I was in junior high school at that time. It was so beautiful that I felt that the words "a thin stream will flow forever" because their stories have become unique in my heart. When I was in the third grade of junior high school, the high school entrance examination was approaching. At that time, I was still playing and chasing kpop every day, but I couldn't prepare for the exam. I felt that I could do well in the exam without studying, which was enough. At that time, I happened to watch "Missing Through the Clouds". I really liked Ji Feiying and Cheng Shi at that time. My thoughts suddenly became very simple, and I started to prepare for the exam. At that time, I had only one thought: I want to meet such outstanding and handsome classmates in high school (^^). Then I started to improve my science scores. The last two months were the most serious period of hard work since junior high school. After I entered high school, during my freshman year, I really met and got to know many people who were better than me. Although it is far inferior to Cheng Shi and Ji Feiying, their stories seem to have become a source of motivation in my heart that makes me want to keep moving forward and upward. Because of these three novels, I have always firmly wanted to choose Quanli, because in the novel they all chose science at that time, and even though we have reformed the new college entrance examination, I still want to choose science like them. It is best to have a youthful love with a boy who is as good as Xiao Han and Zhong Ji (forget about Cheng Shi, because the wife is excellent), and then study hard and study hard to live my high school life. However, there were many factors involved, and I chose a subject combination that I didn't like. My state of mind has undergone earth-shaking changes in high school. My worldview has been shattered and reorganized in high school. I did poorly in the college entrance examination, but I slowly accepted this reality. After the college entrance examination, I dug out these novels and read them again, only to find that you haven't updated them for a long time. It was 2008 when I first saw "Photographs" and "Abandonment and End of Chaos", and I felt very sad. The first time I saw them was in 2017. At that time, I was really frustrated because of the long lapse of time. At that time, I also searched for your pen name on WB and other software, and found that you had no other contact information, and you were just concentrating on writing novels here. I was very sad. However, I read later that some senior book fans said that you lived abroad for a long time and were taking care of your health. So I am moving forward with time while waiting for you to come back and update. Although I have a vague feeling in my heart that you may not update again. I am now a junior in college and am in my gap year. I have not grown into the person I thought I was in junior high school, similar to Yin Xinhui, Zhan Ruoling or Ji Feiying. Nor am I as good as I imagined at that time. I have even almost forgotten what I once really liked. Tonight, I suddenly had a whim and read these novels again. For the first time, I read the long reviews of each novel. I saw the readers' reviews from 14 years ago, the author's replies from 14 years ago, and the recent readers' comments. I saw these conversations that traveled through time and space, and these long reviews written a few years ago or more than ten years ago. I also saw that in the past ten years, one after another young girls have become adults who have entered social work with the companionship of these articles. I also saw that each of these girls has left behind a poetic secret love that may be sour or sweet, bitter or relieved in their own youth. I saw the little girl who a few years ago decided to go to Ji Fei's alma mater because of Ru Shi's novel, but in the end accepted failure but still kept moving forward. I also saw myself who did not leave any book reviews, but still created memories. I also saw Ru Su who often responded to readers and updated frequently at the beginning and stopped logging in later. As before, I still feel disappointed and missing your era. But today I saw a reply from a reader saying that "Photographs of the Years" is going to be reprinted, and it will be specially signed by the author. I'm very happy and looking forward to it. I remember your signature here: leave a quiet corner and watch the passing years alone. I want to send this sentence to myself now, and at the same time, thank you for writing such a good novel. I still believe that there are people like them in the world living such a life, and I also believe that I will become such a person. When you come back, I wish Xia An.
The last time I watched it was in junior high school, and now I have graduated from college and am working. In fact, the feelings of watching it in different periods are really different. Regardless of the limitations of the times, in fact, what I pay most attention to is that when the heroine was separated from her friends in college, she always persisted in actively contacting her former friends. If only one person takes the initiative, it will be really difficult to maintain a relationship...
It's been a long time since I've read a novel in which the male and female protagonists don't even have mouths... [Laughing and crying]
I forget when I first read it, but I just remember that because Zhan Ruoling's major was Spanish, I also chose Spanish when I chose the second foreign language. This is the story. Whenever you want to relive it, he will always be there waiting for you to regain the sourness in your heart. I think I will come again.
I read it intermittently over four days. I really liked it when I first read it. Gradually, I felt that I had really met my favorite novel. When I read the ending, I felt very melancholy. Alas, I think this novel is special probably because the plot of the hero and heroine missing so many years in a foreign country particularly touched me. I didn't like reading secret love stories before, but this one is an exception.
Wow, it's so good. The novel written 14 years ago is still very good, and I'm very happy. I only started reading novels 10 years ago, but all I read were ancient romances... I only learned about Jinjiang novels 6 years ago, and I have never read such good novels! ! ! And it's free! ! ! It's not too late!
It has been almost ten years since I first read this novel on the second day of the Lunar New Year in 2016. Occasionally, I come here to review the comment section. Many comments make me feel the passage of time? I hope that I can become as good a person as Zhan Ruoling.
"Many extras have not been published" [Crying] Such cold writing. After reading several novels by the author, there is no description of weddings in my impression, which is a bit regretful.
The end of Qi Ba?? My favorite novel, I hope to wait until the author comes back
Oh my gosh, I watched it when I was in elementary school. I suddenly remembered and watched a few more extras. It's really good.
