"Hello." The girl nodded to him in a friendly way...
Seeing him shyly shift his gaze to her hands, she offered an unnecessary explanation. Lifting the bag of laundry detergent in her hand, she said with a smile, "Uh, I came to borrow some laundry detergent."
"Sorry," he apologized for his abruptness, then asked, "Excuse me, how do I get to the freshman dorms?"
She paused, then pointed down the corridors on either side as she spoke. "Architecture is to the left, civil engineering to the right." Then she slipped past him and went outside.
1. The male lead fell in love with the first female lead at first sight, but a misunderstanding kept them from getting together.
A girl walked in from outside, holding a camera. She wore a white shirt and dark jeans, brown boat shoes on her feet, and a smile as bright as sunshine.
Perhaps it was the reflection off her white clothes, but when she entered, Chen Judong felt a beam of light shine in and brighten the room...
The girl from earlier said, "Sis, this handsome guy wants his photos developed. He needs them this afternoon."
"Oh?" She turned around, holding a cup of water in both hands, and looked at Chen Judong. Their eyes met, his filled with anticipation. "Hello. Could you come back later?"
"Hello, uh... I have to leave this afternoon, and I need these photos urgently."
Chen Judong could never have guessed that the woman the girl had mentioned, the one who would decide whether his photos could be developed that afternoon, would turn out to be a beautiful young woman about his own age.
2. Then the male lead met the second female lead, and began a youthful, sweet first love...
Theme: Love is a unique view, one that only you and the person you love can understand.
The protagonist's name and the way other characters are introduced are well done, indicating that the author has carefully planned the novel's structure. I believe the plot will also be excellent. Worth reading.
The beginning of that innocent era.
The story's structure flows smoothly and naturally, with psychological and environmental descriptions complementing each other. The plot unfolds gradually and in an orderly manner, making it a captivating read!
We met at the beginning, but what comes next? The path of love is never a straight line; let's see how it unfolds.
I really like rainy days; people keep their distance, and those who are already close become even closer.
In this chapter, the author devotes considerable space to describing the man surnamed Lin. Is this to highlight his character? In fact, there are many people like Lin around us; he's right, sometimes survival requires pretense. And finally, seeing Guo and the girl's romance in the rain truly catches the protagonist off guard; his dream shattered a little too soon.
The author's note below states that the most unforgettable friends are the roommates from before starting work. Does this hint that the characters appearing in this chapter will be important figures in the novel? The author also focuses on describing their appearance and clothing, highlighting their distinct personalities. Their descriptions are realistic and understated, a quality often overlooked by other authors. It's a rare and excellent opening in recent years.
After all the comments, what's next?
Towards the end, the author's description of his father's face during their parting is natural and smooth, portraying him realistically and meticulously. It naturally reminded me of Zhu Ziqing's "The Back View," where the father's simple, ordinary actions are also deeply moving. And the line, "From now on, home is far away, I am here," should resonate with many who leave home to study or work elsewhere.
What a great social practice activity!
