How Well Done?

I finished this book in three sessions: afternoon, evening, and morning. To be honest, in my more than ten years of reading, I've read very few contemporary romance novels. Firstly, the backgrounds of contemporary romance novels are too close to reality, which isn't appealing to readers who like to fantasize about another spiritual world in novels.

I've been reading here for years, and only recently learned about the author. I've read several of her books in a row. I admire Xiao Mo's carefree attitude towards breakups, but our views on marriage might be different. If I don't meet the right person, I'll choose to be alone, but if I do, I'll want a lasting commitment. All five men have moments that make my heart flutter.

Hooray for the ending! I suddenly realized the warmth of occasionally leaving a trace in someone else's life. I can't figure it out. The more I think about it, the more uncertain things seem. How you see things is the most important thing. There are so many things to fight against in life: the desire to control others, the confusion of having no goals, the lack of clear answers, and so on.

I don't know why, even though the character development and dialogue were quite good, I felt this book was really more like a textbook. What impressed me wasn't the romance, but the viewpoints within it. I don't know if that's a success or a failure; I felt like I attended a lecture on relationships, even though my initial intention was to see the romantic interactions.

Wow, that's the ending. For Xiao Gu, smelling a cigarette he'd been hoarding was already the most blatant act of irrational selfishness he'd ever indulged in. Emotions briefly surfaced from the cracks in his soul, but he quickly returned to reality. It reminded me of that convenience store rice ball joke, just like the way it makes you pause when you smell a cigarette—it's brilliant. It touches on profound yet subtle emotions arising from a clash of class values.

It's a pleasant read, like a face-to-face conversation or lesson, but without being overly demanding; the reading experience is very comfortable. While reading, you can connect with the author and witness a little girl's natural growth.

We are currently in a rather confusing phase. San San's attitude towards life has really inspired me a lot. Actually, I initially thought this was a romance game type of book. To have a "let's have some fun" attitude ( ) Still looking forward to Xiao Mu evolving into a master player who can effortlessly manipulate men, hahaha!

Reading Shen Zhiyue's analysis really resonated with me. I've been abroad for almost ten years, and perhaps due to the environment and my own personality, I've been constantly cutting ties with my interpersonal relationships. My parents divorced early, but because of my studies, I maintained contact, though our views differed greatly, leading to frequent arguments.

Well, how should I put it? Here are my thoughts after skipping chapters. Everyone has their own life, and books are like doors to different spiritual worlds, or rather, doors to the real world. You might be writing what you want to write, while I'm reading. Now, let's start reading from the beginning.

I almost thought Yan and Yu were together.
