   I rarely read this kind of novel, and the rough-looking male protagonist is not my cup of tea, but Qiu Xing is so good, with a cold face and a warm heart. He always loves the boat with actions, regardless of his own gains and losses. And the boat is also such a good boat. Even if it is overwhelmed by sudden changes, it faces it bravely, studies hard, and loves Qiu Xing bravely. The boat awakened the numb Qiu Xing in her most desperate year. From then on, Qiu Xing has been silently holding the boat forward, trying hard to maintain the height of the boat even though his feet were stuck in the mud.

   It's so good that I couldn't bear to sleep in the morning after seeing it. Even after falling asleep unexpectedly, I still dreamed about the contents of the book. It is a rare male protagonist whose description of emotions is very delicate. The relationship between the male and female protagonists warms up in a smooth and silent way. Unknowingly, they are firmly in love, even if they are still high school students, even if they have not confirmed their relationship, and even if they have not yet expressed their love. I really like the characters of the male and female protagonists, but I feel sorry for the female protagonist... It would be nice if I didn't have to go through all that pain, but some of that pain was also caused by her mr light, alas. After reading it, I was completely unsatisfied and wanted to continue watching such a comfortable love story. It's a pity that I didn't write more about it, whether it's Zhou Bin's part or Qingzhou Xiaxia's part.

Shang Le heard every word from behind the door. Looking down at her dark-colored suit, she suddenly understood: so he didn't like this kind of look. He should've said so earlier! She could change.
