Melancholy, sweet-natured girl writer x gentle former entertainer
Reunion after years apart | Sapiosexual romance | Healing and redemption | Ensemble cast
At the end of 2019, Chen Qianyi did something big. She quit the job that wasn't working out, left the big city, and returned to Shibai Town, nestled beneath cloud-wreathed mountains.
It was pouring on the day she went back, and the whole mountain was shrouded in mist.
Riding a rattling bus, Chen Qianyi suddenly remembered what they had said years ago, when she left: "Shibai, failure! Only failures come back."
Was that... really true?
"No."
"Chen Qianyi, you've never been someone who accepts defeat."
The person who told her that was Xie Zhili.
He debuted overseas at twenty and announced his retirement after returning to China at twenty-five. No one knew what had happened in between.
Chen Qianyi remembered the first time she saw him, one summer when she was fifteen.
He was a friend of her older brother's from his high school band, tall and handsome, the sort of guy even passing dogs couldn't help but stare at.
That day, she got to the bus stop early with a stool and half a watermelon, waiting for him. When he finally stood in front of her, she looked up with watermelon seeds all over her face.
Her expression went from stunned, to shocked, to mortified and shy... then she turned and ran, all in one smooth motion.
So embarrassing, so embarrassing, so embarrassing!
Oh, heavens, please erase that memory from the mind of the person I like!
Huh? Wait...!
At that very moment, Xie Zhili was standing before her, looking at her with unfamiliar distance, as if they had never met in this life or the last.
Come on, heaven, you took that a little too literally.

Chen Qianyi thought that if she just left the big city, she'd feel better, her health would improve, her insomnia would go away, and everything would be fine.
At three thirty in the morning, she found the only convenience store in town that still had its lights on. By an incredible stroke of luck, it was simmering her favorite oden and roasting corn.
The days she once called "useless" and even "wasted" began to grow colorful: endless conversations, staying up together to watch the sunrise, walking home together... and getting each other through the winters of their lives.
"When night falls, I want your embrace."

A Girl's Weight-Loss Journal
"Producer Jiang, can I come over to your place for a meal?"
Cheng Yujia x Jiang Zhishuo
On the day Cheng Yujia started at Haitai Entertainment, her suitcase was stolen.
She explained to the security guard over and over, "Sir, I really do work here. Please let me check the security footage!"
The guard said, "Don't be ridiculous. Those cameras aren't the TV in your living room. You can't just watch the footage whenever you want. You have to file a request and get approval from the higher-ups."
"The higher-ups? Who are they? I'll go find them!"
At the time, Cheng Yujia didn't know that the person in charge, the so-called "higher-up," was none other than Jiang Zhishuo.
After asking a few questions and getting the story straight, Jiang Zhishuo casually said,
"The suitcase? Is it important?"
Cheng Yujia was furious and was just about to blow up when the great Mr. Jiang waved a hand.
"How about this? I'll buy you an identical suitcase. Go back to work."
"..."
-
"Producer Jiang?"
Two weeks later, Cheng Yujia watched the footage of the person who had taken her suitcase. The figure looked remarkably like her nemesis, her direct boss.
"No, no, no!"
She couldn't figure it out. Why would Producer Jiang take her suitcase?
It had nothing but clothes, instant noodles, sauces, Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, kimchi, fish tofu, sausages, chocolate, hot dry noodles, self-heating hotpot, spicy strips... oh.
-
Two weeks later, Jiang Zhishuo returned the suitcase in person and offered a sincere apology.
Cheng Yujia nodded and took it. When she opened it later, her clothes were untouched, but all her snacks were gone.
"Producer Jiang."
"What is it?"
Jiang Zhishuo hadn't gone far. While replying to a message, he glanced back toward the upper floors without thinking.
When he turned around again, he saw the young woman send him a resentful message:
"Producer Jiang, you're such a good person. You knew I was trying to lose weight, so you took care of every last one of my snacks for me."

I really like DaDa's writing style ~ warm and healing, it is the kind of slow-burning small town daily writing. I have not found a meal replacement of this style yet. After reading the whole thing, I can feel a kind of camera scheduling comparable to that of a literary movie from between the lines (hhh, although the praise is a bit exaggerated, it is really comfortable. The story slowly unfolds at each plot point, which is very suitable for slow viewing and slow tasting) Let's get back to the topic, let's talk about this sweet and healing group portrait full of fireworks and ambiguous feeling. I also like the portrayal of the heroine, such as her very humanistic and humorous complaints. I remember her bumping on the bus home. She held the suitcase with quick eyes and hands, thinking that she had to solve a physics problem of force analysis. Hahaha, the teacher's complaints about occupational diseases are so funny. He also said that he likes bougainvillea because it is easy to grow. Also, the interaction between her and her best friend makes me laugh to death. Wu Qiqi said that when the heroine cried when she was a child, she looked like a black sesame dumpling with the filling exposed. I really couldn't hold it back. What kind of magical metaphor is this? The author is so talented. I still remember the image and lines of grandma. Really, it instantly reminded me of my deceased grandmother. My grandmother was also a tough-talking and soft-hearted old lady like the heroine. I cried. It's very real. If you watch such life-like plots and characters, you will feel very immersed and resonant. The male protagonist Xie Zhili also satisfied all my imagination of a gentle, calm and tolerant male protagonist. Of course, being 188, with a nine-head body, a trainee, and handsome are just the icing on the cake (I don't want to admit that I like male sex). The main thing is that he has a positive outlook on life, values emotions, and has a sense of brokenness and childishness. He is so young and pitiful... He has experienced so many bad things and has grown into such a kind-hearted adult. This in itself is a role model and energy. The male protagonist is really very upright and righteous, but he is not used to expressing himself, so he has a kind of restrained star power, or personality charm. It's hard not to be tempted by our lovely heroine, not to mention that the heroine has been secretly in love with him since junior high school. I agree with this marriage, but because of the opposition of the heroine's father and the bad things between the two families, the heroine and the hero have gone through some struggles and twists and turns. I really like what the author wrote in the last chapter, "That was the first kiss between Mr. Qingchen and Miss Savage." Their code names are really correct. "Qingchen" is not only the name of the convenience store, but also synonymous with Xie Zhili. It represents the time when you take off your disguise late at night and be honest with each other. In addition to the emotional line, the reconciliation process between the heroine and her mother also touched me a lot. Chen Qianyi finally understood the anxiety and suffering hidden by her mother's strength. She took the initiative to embrace her mother and reached a reconciliation in her heart. It is not necessary to forcefully eliminate all conflicts. It doesn't matter if she doesn't reconcile. She will use the future to prove that her own path will shine equally. At the same time, the heroine's friends also broke away from their original tracks and accepted that life is full of partings and imperfections, and everyone has the right to choose their own path forward. Great! Finally, I strongly recommend the small theater in this article! What impressed me the most was that the female protagonist was caught taking takeout and half of the bonus was deducted. The male protagonist laughed. He laughed when he heard the keyword trigger for takeout. It was very warm and sweet. Occasionally, I would hear the author's big complaints online, such as enjoying a life without rankings, hahaha, so cute! I am very much looking forward to the author's new book "A Girl's Weight Loss Diary". Please write it well!
