"He loves her punctual lover the most" ——"Gentle Confession" by @chuliah This is a long review I wrote when I finished reading it last year, and I'm posting it now~ It took about a week to read it! ! I saw a blogger I liked and pushed this article. Then I was very interested in the content, so I searched it and found that it suited my taste. So I read [Crazy]. When I first started reading this book, I had the mentality that I would give up on the article (because I had a bottleneck period and couldn't read any article [Crazy]. The result was just the opposite. The more I read, the more I became fascinated [Knelt down] The heroine returned to Jiangdu, where she had lived for many years, and with the help of her friends, she went on a blind date with the hero. This blind date was initiated by the male protagonist himself, because he had planned it for a long time (I have to say that Dr. Xu is really shady). He wandered in his heart a hundred times, wanting to take the initiative to ask for the next date, but he was afraid, afraid, afraid that the female protagonist would reject him. Maybe this is the reason why he has been secretly in love for many years. As Xiao Jing gradually got along with Dr. Xu, he felt more and more that he was a very good person and Dr. Xu was very gentle. In Xiao Jing's words, she is not suitable for dating. Maybe it's because her last boyfriend PUAed her. He belittled the heroine in one way and made the heroine lose confidence in herself. Why does the hero like her? She clearly has nothing to like about herself. But that's it, she felt like she was worthless, but there were people who liked her strengths and weaknesses, and Dr. Xu was the one who could see the bright spots in her. Therefore, the news that Xiaojing proposed marriage was both surprising and scary to Xu Yancheng. He was surprised that she would take the initiative to marry him, but he was also afraid that she would marry him simply because her family was urging her to get married. But no matter what, she is already his After they get married, Xu Yancheng will take good care of everything about the heroine and care about her. The heroine will support her no matter what decision she makes. When meeting people in his department, he would openly announce to them, "This is my wife." They were very sweet after their marriage. Although they were respectful to each other at first, in the process of getting along later, Xiao Jing slowly realized his feelings for Xu Yancheng. He would be panicked when he fell on the operating table; he would be jealous because someone who could compete with him appeared next to him. The ring Xu Yancheng gave to Xiao Jing contained his 10 years of love. At that time, he said, "After finishing this one, if you still can't let go, just keep holding on." As a result, after finishing the ring, he thought more and more deeply that he would never forget her. But when he wanted to give up liking him, he met her again, and met her by chance, just looking at her silently from a distance, just looking at her... He knew that Xiao Jing didn't like crowded places, so he didn't want to hold a wedding, but he wanted to hold it, so he only held a wedding for the two of them. There was no one except the photographer and others. Afterwards, he sent the videos and letters one by one to his friends by courier, asking them to bless their love... He was very thoughtful and considerate of the heroine (he was really good [crazy]). He could accept all her imperfections, just because she was her. He said, "Xiao Jing, I like you, always in the ongoing tense." He has loved her for eleven years, from the first time he liked her in the examination room to now, and he has been in love with her for eleven years. His youth was all about her, but her youth was not about him. But fortunately, her future is with him, and they spend the rest of their lives together. As a person who likes to read about secret love all year round, this book really writes about secret love just right. She thought that she would marry first and fall in love later, but in his eyes, it was a secret love that came true. What a blessing it was to be with the person she liked when she was young. Therefore, Xu Yancheng is lucky to be with the girl he has loved for 10 years. However, not everyone's secret love is so perfect. In reality, there are often many regrets. What is life without regrets? And I also liked a sentence before: "I wish you will meet your beloved in the future, I wish you a happy city, and a long song to warm the floating dust."
Belated letter: To compare the story of Xiao Jing and Dr. Xu, I prefer winter. It's not a cold winter that can't be warmed no matter how much you cover it, but a warm winter with unlimited sunshine warming your back. I don't know why when I mention tender confession, I think of the warmest moments in winter. Maybe it was because the plot of Dr. Xu putting a scarf on Xiao Jing and Dr. Xu making Xiao Jing drink medicine was too profound. Maybe it was the cold winter when they reunited, but it seemed that the growing love for each other made me feel that the cold winter was getting warmer. Xiao Jing and Dr. Xu met during an ordinary exam during their student days. During this exam, Xiao Jing only focused on catching up on sleep, but Dr. Xu had already planted the seeds of love. Unfortunately, it was ten years later that they met again. After the reunion, Xiao Jing returned to Jiangdu with "Mediocre Nothing", and Dr. Xu returned with a one-in-a-ten thousand chance of meeting and falling in love. In the past few years, Xu Yancheng just stood aside silently, looking forward to secretly meeting Xu Ying in places where he often appeared. And this time, he finally had the opportunity to stand in front of Xu Ying, and even became Xu Ying's closest lover. At first, Xu Ying didn't approve of herself. She would feel frustrated that Xu Ying was already twenty-six years old and had accomplished nothing. Xu Ying was doing nothing. However, Xu Yancheng would respond to her seriously and firmly, saying, "It is okay to get full marks from the age of twenty-six." "I am marrying Xu Ying who is twenty-six years old, not Xu Ying who is successful and famous at the age of twenty-six." Xu Ying was also very negative about love at first. You will feel that you are not suitable for dating, and you don't want to experience the process of liking someone if you like them, and then abandoning them with bad words if you don't like them. But Xu Yancheng did not rush Xu Ying to change this negative thought. Instead, he used actions time and time again to make her clearly feel that "there will be someone who says he loves you but really loves you. It is not a whim or passion." Because it's you, I'm willing to fall in love. I am a person who believes in fate very much (a bit mysterious), so I have always felt that Xu Ying and Xu Yancheng can start because they are destined for each other. It just happened that we sat together during the exam, it happened that God gave us the opportunity to go on a blind date, it happened that the atmosphere of getting along was very comfortable when we reunited, and it happened that Dr. Xu had enough patience to love Xu Ying's twist... There were too many coincidences that made them love each other at the same time. Their love is just like Qingshan's words: "The depth and delicacy of a person's inner nature requires an equal to bear it." In fact, I can't remember how many times I have read Confession. In the past, when I was waiting for a new article, I would read the articles I had written before based on my current mood, and Confession is no exception. Every time I watch it, my emotions are different and I get different things. Therefore, I don't think it will be boring to watch it again and again. This time I read the confession intermittently and chose to read the paper book. There is an indescribable and wonderful feeling of happiness: Ah... This is our physical book. In the past, I could only read the text on the screen. Now I can hold a pen and write down my thoughts on the book that only I can see while reading! (Because I often forget my "feelings" after reading a whole chapter) In the end, what I want to say the most is that it doesn't matter whether we get full marks on the test paper of life, as long as we write down the answers to our hearts~ Although I still have a lot to say, I always have to stop writing. So let the remaining untyped thoughts become my undisclosed treasure in my cookie can~ Tuntun 2024.7.24 Early morning
It is now 4:24 in the morning on October 2, 2022, and I have finished reading the entire text. This book is really good to read. There is nothing too cruel in the whole text, and the pace is relatively comfortable. Personally, I still like this setting, but I haven't read it yet. I've seen enough, why is it over? I won't say any more, then I wish our Xu Yancheng and Xu Ying a happy life in your world, grow old together, Nie Jin and Qiao Qiaoyu also wish well, and Yue Ze and Rong Qingyun also wish well! (PS: Hello, I have finished reading. Ah, I didn't read enough. As a result, I lost it after reading it. Although I didn't read enough, I still want to say congratulations to you for finishing the full text. Spread flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers~)
"Tender Confession" Xu Ying & Xu Yancheng On his nineteenth birthday, he made a wish. He hopes to be with the girl he likes. Year after year. At the age of twenty-nine, I finally got what I wanted. @Chuliye [red heart] Hahaha, I found that Libao is really suitable for writing about marriage first, love later, and the reason why this article particularly poked me is probably because Xu Yancheng's secret love for Xu Ying came true and has been planned for a long time, while Xu Ying's love for Xu Yancheng begins with character and ends with love. And I always like the story where the male protagonist has a secret love and the female protagonist realizes it later, because in my heart all girls deserve to be loved well (I can also feel it from Li Bao's story)! [Orange Heart] In fact, the little surprise at the beginning made me feel very distressed, as if she was overwhelmed by pressure from all aspects (this is indeed the case looking back). "Life is busy, but she is still mediocre." Even if she returns to her parents where she grew up, she still feels suffocated and feels like she is being pressed down by countless stones. The mother will only belittle her daughter endlessly in front of her relatives for the so-called face. She is not worthy of this or that. It seems that as long as a man can like her daughter, she will be in high demand. And the mother herself will always be shorter in front of her relatives. In a word, he never cares about what his daughter thinks, and he does everything to hurt her in the name of doing her best. The little shock at that time, maybe she could only take a short breath through marriage, so she took that step. Fortunately, I met Xu Yancheng who liked me again. [Yellow heart] Xu Yancheng's secret love will make people feel his sense of propriety. Even as long as he doesn't show any clues, his deep love will not be discovered. He will not appear in front of you inexplicably, nor will he make you feel oppressed. Instead, he will wait in obscurity for an opportunity to officially get to know and care about Xu Ying, whom he likes, in an open and honest manner. Without Xiao Qianyi's introduction, Xu Yancheng decided to stay in China after being surprised at the art exhibition and knowing that she was going back to Jiangdu, because he wanted to and would definitely take action to find an opportunity to "get to know" Xu Ying unilaterally. After all, even if he was studying abroad, he would go back to Jiangdu during the Chinese New Year or summer vacation, and go to the hot pot restaurants and art exhibitions that Xiao Jing often went to, just to meet her. When you meet her, you will secretly pay attention to what she likes and dislikes. When you meet her for the first time, you will know that she is not used to saying that she doesn't like mushrooms, so Xu Yancheng took the initiative to say "Some people don't eat mushrooms." When they met for the first time officially, Xu Yancheng seemed calm on the surface, but he could no longer restrain his wildly beating heart. Perhaps the only sign of losing control was when he was about to separate, he asked Xu Ying, "Is it still possible to return to Jiangdu?" Because he wanted, really wanted, especially wanted to meet again next time. After that, as soon as Xiao Jing opened up a little bit of an opening, Xu Yancheng asked, "Can I date you next time?" On the night when Xu Yancheng and Xu Ying officially met, Xu Yancheng, who had always been calm and self-possessed, lost control and went so far as to beat them up by playing billiards with his brothers. Even if he won, he would not stop smoking. Even after Xiao Jing took the initiative to propose marriage, Xu Yancheng would be excited until four in the morning, calling friends to find a house to use as a wedding room. Because of the previous house matter, even if she hadn't "knew" it yet, she would still take Xu Ying into consideration and not be so anxious to find a place to settle down. Because he wanted to marry the twenty-six-year-old Xu Ying, not the twenty-six-year-old Xu Ying who was successful and famous. For Xu Yancheng, the necessary condition is Xu Ying, and nothing else matters. All he wanted was a little shock. [Orange Heart] For Xiao Jing, maybe Xu Yancheng is her savior. Xu Yancheng will appear in front of her when her defense is about to collapse; Xu Yancheng will make her feel what it feels like to truly care about her cold; Xu Yancheng will firmly affirm her when she falls into self-doubt and inferiority; Yancheng will find her shining light that others cannot find and praise her fiercely (this is really the appreciation that Xiaojing especially lacks); Xu Yancheng will provide her with a place to stay and a warm embrace after she quarrels with her mother; Xu Yancheng will fully affirm her when she feels that she is not good enough - "In my heart, you are very good", "You are outspoken and brave, and you have a colorful world"; Xu Yancheng accompanies Xiaojing to find the outstanding person bit by bit. Xu Ying - "The test paper in life is still very long, and it is possible to get full marks from the age of twenty-six." Xu Ying has a promising future; most importantly, Xu Yancheng allowed her to escape from her mother's suffocating control. Wow, that's enough. I'm heartbroken and a little shocked! There are also many small details about Xu Yancheng's love for Xu Ying, which also let me know that loving someone is something you have to do and can do >3<. In this marriage, Xu Yancheng will always be Xiao Jing's confidence. He will support Xiao Jing in everything he does, and will bring her out in time when she falls into a dead end. When she is hesitant and wants to leave her heart behind, he will gently persuade her to stick to her heart and find the Xu Ying she wants to be deep down in her heart. He will agree with her thoughts at every moment, as if to say, just go ahead and do it, as long as you are happy. During their relationship after marriage, Xu Yancheng's various behaviors seemed to be the embodiment of the sentence "You don't need to change yourself, I will slowly adapt to you." This not only gave Xiaojing a strong sense of security and identity, but also allowed Xiaojing, who was verbally assaulted by her mother and ex-boyfriend PUA, to gradually regain her most confident self. Xu Ying, who was with Xu Yancheng, slowly changed her habit of internal friction. This really hit me hard, because a good relationship will make you better! No matter what happens, no matter what the situation is, Xu Yancheng will always support Xu Ying. At this time I would like to borrow a passage, I testify that Xu Ying has met a very good person. They love each other and will always be each other's firmest first choice. I believe this person will take good care of her, tolerate her, love her and respect her. I testify, and the stars and moon in the sky, the passing flowers and the evening breeze, and all the readers who have read "Tender Confession" will also testify for them, Xu Yancheng will love Xu Ying forever! Xu Ying and Xu Yancheng will definitely be happy forever! [Green Heart] PS let me tell you some more thoughts! Sometimes I really want to convince my mother that she is a little frightened, but I can't be completely convinced because I still don't like such a mother. I also know in my heart that my mother must love Xiao Jing, because if she doesn't love her, she won't care about her daughter's affairs. But this love is really suffocating, and even makes Xiao Jing doubt herself for a long time and feel that she is not good at anything. This may be the love of traditional Chinese mothers, which makes you progress through belittling, but ignores the psychological growth of your children, and only cares about superficial factors that can make you look good (study performance, good job, marrying a good man). My mother and Xiao Jing's mother also have some similarities, but it's not that outrageous, or maybe I'm more inclined to speak out and vent out my thoughts when I can't suppress them. When my mother compared me to others countless times, I would take it no more and tell her I didn't like it. And sometimes some of our parents' views cannot be changed overnight, but as children, we seem to be forced to retreat. At this time, we must learn to reconcile with ourselves who desperately want to be recognized by our parents, and tell ourselves-you are not that bad! You are always the best! ! ! ! The last and the last! ! ! I have read several of Libao's novels, and I can feel that every protagonist is not perfect, but after meeting the right person, he will become better. It also makes me feel that maybe I am not that bad now. This may be the power that words bring to readers. Looking forward to Libao's next volume! ! I wish all the lovers in Chuli's novels will eventually get married! May everyone we meet be good people! (Unconsciously, I seem to have written a lot, but in fact it is quite illogical. It seems to be just the highlights of some "Tender Confessions" that I talked about to my friends.) Written in the summer of 2024
To "Tender Confession": Sorry for being late! Li is really the ancient Greek god in charge of marriage first and love later! This is a story about marriage first and then love and secret love coming true. In my opinion, the relationship between Xiao Jing and Dr. Xu is more like a long stream of water, moved by emotion. Xu Yancheng is really a gentle boy to the core, and he is particularly doting on Xu Ying. Xu Ying's description of him is just right, and it feels like a poetic metaphor like "Heaven should be like a library." "He is the out-of-print blind box she opened." "He is knowledgeable, gentle, and tolerant. He is the embodiment of ideal romanticism." Before the reunion, Xu Yancheng wanted to see Xu Ying all the time. During the Chinese New Year or during the summer vacation, he would go back to Jiangdu and go to the hot pot restaurants and art exhibitions she often went to, thinking about when he could run into her. Later, Xu Ying met Xu Yancheng in the hospital. Xu Ying, who seemed to be lost in the heavy rain, saw Xu Yancheng who was like a savior. It gave her a different feeling, so that she had an even different understanding of Xu Yancheng later. At first, Xu Ying actually had some resistance to this long-planned blind date and did not like to have too much contact with old classmates. However, after several contacts, she was gradually attracted to the gentle and well-educated Xu Yancheng. Later, she took the initiative to propose marriage. Although the male protagonist seemed calm on the surface, he was actually ecstatic inside. Ten years of secret love finally returned. Even though the female protagonist at this time did not like him in principle, he also agreed to get married. Because for Xu Ying, he wanted to be her punctual lover who never missed a second. She is the treasure he hides in the cookie can. In fact, Xiao Jing is a very brave person. Self-denial only occurs when she loses herself. Fortunately, we, Dr. Xu, stand behind her, accompany her to grow, and help her gradually find her direction until she has her own goals and knows what she wants. Even if the world is desolate, there will always be people who will support you unconditionally, believe in you, and be willing to stand behind you no matter where you are, to accompany you to find yourself and grow together until the end of time. Congratulations to Dr. Xu, our secret love has seen the light of day and the moon, and we have gained happiness with Xiao Jing! Also, Nie Jin, Qiao Qiaoyu, Yue Ze and Rong Qingyun must continue to go on and be happy! To put it into perspective, I actually read Gentle Confession after the physical book of Li was published. It must have been the sixth book of Our Li. Unfortunately, I didn't discover Wuwuwu during the serialization period, but I have made up for it now. Totally stuck! Our Xiaojing and Dr. Xu are a perfect match! Let me share my favorite passage, a letter from Xiao Jing: Xu Yancheng, I don't want to be a star anymore. I would rather be the moon that needs the sun to have light. Because of your light, I am no longer dim. Oh my gosh, I really like this passage, Lili is so good at writing! Although it is over, their story will continue. You must be happy in parallel time and space! With Dr. Xu's company, Xiao Jing will definitely become braver and stronger! Also, congratulations to Lili for successfully publishing her first physical book, Spreading Flowers! I will continue to accompany Li in the future. I wish our ancient Greek Chu Li, who is in charge of marriage first, love later, publish more and more books in the future! The future is very long, see you next time~ That's all I'm writing here. Farewell is not a heavy rain, but a long period of humidity, but see you in "Hong Kong Nights"!
