Our School Stories from Those Years

Yes, she realized it. She had actually fallen for this boy. When did it start? During physics class? Or when he took her to see the bay? Or in the library? Or in the elevator? Or just now? She didn't know how she liked him, why she liked him, but she just liked him. Noxi was a straightforward person, so she naturally didn't hide anything. Liking someone is an involuntary liking; liking someone is liking someone without reason. Come read Noxi and Shaoyu's story!!!

To those lovely years, to us. I read through all the updates in one go, still feeling a lingering sense of satisfaction. Recalling those seemingly dull, long yet fleeting school days felt like a replay of the past, each scene vividly unfolding before my eyes. Yes, the clean campus no longer awaits our arrival, the warm, gentle sunlight no longer spills onto our textbooks, and those clear, bright eyes no longer sparkle with a fleeting glance, causing our hearts to race and our faces to flush. Those school memories swept over me. Looking back at ourselves on campus, we were naively innocent, yet so genuinely adorable. Back then, we possessed the purest emotions and the purest ideals, unburdened by the complexities of reality. At that time, our feelings for those we liked were almost stubbornly pure. We liked them, without reason, without reservation. I think that every girl, in her adolescence, will encounter someone like this: someone who looks infinitely beautiful under the sunlight, with smooth, almost translucent skin, wearing a clean school uniform, a tall and slightly slender figure, and a smile that seems to carry the scent of sunshine. Every move he makes, everything about him, captivates you, inexplicably and deeply infatuated. At that time, we don't yet understand what love is, but we may have already met the love of our lives, the most unforgettable person. Just like Noxi met Shaoyu. Leaving the protection of the high walls and red bricks of the school, love is actually incredibly fragile; it can be defeated by cars, houses, distance, and all of reality. Reality is suffocating, which is why those pure, innocent memories seem so precious. Perhaps there will be other beautiful relationships in the future, but the courage of youth—the unwavering determination to forge ahead regardless of what lies ahead, whether it be a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, heaven or hell—may never return. That might sound a bit heavy, but this is actually a very simple campus romance, radiating youthful energy and a touch of melancholy. That's exactly how we were back then. This is no longer just a novel; it's about building dreams—dreams that everyone has had at some point. Nuoxi's broken family and incomplete family relationships from a young age made her more indifferent and detached than girls her age. A sense of unease and longing for love always lingered in her heart. I really like this girl; she's so strong and straightforward. Love itself isn't about pity or sympathy, so when she discovered that Linlin was using illness as an excuse to stay with Shaoyu, she hesitated. When the lie was exposed, what she stated was simply reality. There's no such thing as scheming or breaking up. Love gained through pity is ultimately unsustainable. Therefore, Shaoyu chose to turn away. Seeing this, Linlin might seem to be the one who loves Shaoyu the most at this moment. Undoubtedly, she is heartbroken by Shaoyu's departure. She only pretended to be by his side because she liked him and wanted to stay while he was sick. Was that wrong? She didn't do anything wrong. In love, it's inherently difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, but her love cannot escape the condemnation of selfishness. Although Shaoyu didn't have romantic feelings for Linlin, he genuinely cared about her illness, felt sorry for her, and felt guilty. But when he discovered that it was all a lie, all the heartache and concern he had shown Linlin became a joke, even though her reason was so impeccable—it was simply because she liked him—but her liking had broken his heart. In the end, Linlin thanked Nuoxi. With the lie over, Linlin felt much lighter. She was a kind girl, and hiding it from Shaoyu probably couldn't escape the pangs of conscience. Actually, this was better for both her and Shaoyu. Shaoyu harbored feelings for Nuoxi. At that time, there weren't many other constraints; one could freely and boldly express their affection for someone they liked. They could secretly watch her from the stairwell during school hours, invite her to do their favorite physics experiments, attend a beautiful concert together, and order her a delicious breakfast. That pure, unadulterated feeling was truly, truly beautiful… Thank you, author, for allowing us to witness such a beautiful dream.

To be honest, this was my first time reading a youth campus novel, and the author's writing style was truly refreshing. I used to think campus novels were all about beautiful women and handsome men; every girl was a dream goddess, and every guy was the type of fangirl who wanted to throw herself at him. But this author changed my mistaken view. The author's writing can be described as "light and breezy, calm and undisturbed." Why? The author's scene setting is superb. Every scene, even with my eyes closed, I can visualize it—it's so beautiful, so dreamlike. Like the scene where Nuoxi stands in the snow, catching snowflakes with her hands—I felt completely empathetic. I remember being silly myself, lost in fantasies about the swirling snowflakes. And all of this is reflected through Shaoyu's perspective, adding to the mystery. In just a few tens of thousands of words, the author's writing has already left a deep impression on me. Actually, I don't like the current trend in online novels of presenting intense conflicts and ambiguous suspense from the very beginning. I much prefer the author's leisurely writing style, where everything unfolds naturally and logically. Of course, these are just my personal feelings; it's a double-edged sword, and in the world of online novels, catering to popular tastes is necessary. Also, the relationships between Noxi, Yi Yichen, and Shao Yu are quite subtle, which is another reason I like this book! Sometimes, reading certain words from the author evokes many emotions; perhaps this is the resonance a good book brings! Having said all that, let me offer some suggestions. First, regarding chapters, it's generally best to keep each chapter around two to three thousand words, maintaining a consistent pace. Second, some paragraphs are too long, making them difficult to read. Unless there are specific requirements, it's best to keep them to two or three lines per paragraph, creating a more rhythmic and less tiring reading experience. These are purely personal suggestions; please don't take offense if I'm wrong! Finally, I hope the author continues writing; I will continue to follow the story. A long review for the New Year!

I was initially drawn in by the title, but once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The refreshing campus setting is very pleasant. The interactions between the male and female leads evoke memories and make me think about the most important years of my life. I'm so glad I found this book; I'm looking forward to the next chapter and hoping for the day when Nuoxi and Shaoyu get together! I've already added it to my favorites! Also, Happy New Year!

Ah Ye is amazing! His writing is excellent, the content is rich and engaging, and he's incredibly popular. The descriptions are also very detailed; it's rare for a guy to write this well. Keep it up! Goodnight! ^ω^
