Dyslexia

And so, the story comes to an end. Although I know that what I've written along the way hasn't been particularly brilliant, perhaps even just passable, it's the best version of this story I can offer. These words, written from the voice of my heart, are immature yet embraced by each and every one of you. Regarding dyslexia, in the first part of this article, I included some information I found on Baidu Baike (Baidu Encyclopedia): [Alexia refers to the loss or impairment of the ability to understand written language due to acquired brain damage. It is a general term for various deficiencies in written language comprehension, also known as word blindness, reading dyslexia, or visual aphasia, excluding illiteracy, congenital developmental disorders, and developmental dyslexia. The patient's intelligence is no different from that of ordinary people; the main clinical symptoms include complete or partial loss of the ability to read and write.] The reason this book is titled *Lycopenia* is, as the term itself suggests, that in adolescence, everyone is, to some extent, a child suffering from dyslexia. We, including myself, have all been self-righteous in our youth, gaining and losing things along the way. In this story, the protagonist, Jiang Xuwan, also believes she has gained something, and similarly loses much. As for the secrets of time replaying within the story, that's up to each individual's interpretation. What I'm expressing isn't the "butterfly effect" or "the unchangeable nature of fate"; what I truly want to convey through these regrets of time is the importance of cherishing the present. Regardless of the past or the future, the present is the most real existence. If you are someone who tends to overlook things, then from this moment on, join me in discovering the beautiful moments in life! "Now" is the eternal truth. I know not many people are reading this story, but I'm so grateful to have you all along. (Especially my little dumpling! Thank you, my little fairy! Thank you for your love, thank you for your understanding, thank you for your companionship all the way!) Meeting you is already a rare treat, so I'm not going to follow the cliché of "greeting you when you arrive and waving goodbye when you leave." So—hello, hello, hello. I wish you all the best in life. Ashu is going to continue pursuing her dreams. If you're lucky, you should be able to see the character I play on screen soon!

Keep going, Ashu! 💪 We'll always support you!

After finishing the book, I went back and flipped through the earlier chapters. Time really flies; so much time has passed since I first started reading it. Accompanying Shushu and "Lyslexia" all the way has naturally brought moments of joy and sorrow. I've also been moved by the characters' small actions and felt anxious about their decisions, but I've also gained a lot from it all—the life philosophy contained in the book, the life lessons it wants to convey to readers, and the writing and narrative techniques worth learning, etc., Which I won't go into detail about. Let's rewind to that summer in that small southern town— Xu Wan, who grew up in a small southern town relying on her grandmother Feng Juan, met a boy named Wei Ge by chance under the rainbow after a rain. From then on, their lives began to be intertwined. The story unfolds simply, but not in a conventional way. I particularly like this narrative technique that connects the present and the future, as if I can truly glimpse Xu Wan and Wei Ge's growth and many changes, both in their feelings and their relationship. Not only that, but I also met many different kinds of people along the way. There were quite a few who were successfully portrayed, just like Xu Wan and Wei Ge. There was Xu Zhou, a top student who contrasted with his cold appearance; Jia Meng, who was lively and cheerful and loved to ask Xu Wan for help; Lu Zirui, who seemed "out of place" compared to everyone else; the strict Ke Jing; Qin Siyi, who was good at piano and favored Xu Wan; the kind and gentle Grandma Jiang Fengjuan; Luo Chenghang and Chen Wanru, who had hurt Xu Wan; as well as Zhou Xiaotong, Su Kexun, Xia Guanxing, little brother Luo Luying, celebrity couples, and so on. Witnessing everyone from their first appearance to their development and finally to their ending was a really happy and touching thing. It was also Shu Shu who made me more convinced of this. So, even with a sense of closure, as I revisit the flow of time, I can still vividly recall the numerous events, big and small, the two experienced. Some particularly memorable moments include the incident at the vocational high school, the underground plaza, their trip to Beijing, grocery shopping during the Lunar New Year, meeting their biological parents and adorable younger brother Luo Luying, the hotpot restaurant incident, the separation from loved ones, the reunion from the future, and the period when Xu Wan was in a coma (there are too many to list here, haha). When Xu Wan was confused and anxious, she often acted like a hedgehog, not opening her heart to outsiders, appearing sensitive and insecure at school and at home. Naturally, this sparked a desire to understand and care for her. Later, when the truth came out and reality dragged humanity out of the shadows, I still couldn't believe that Xu Wan, abandoned by her parents in the southern town, had endured such immense pain alongside Wei Ge. This cast an indelible shadow over the two children's childhood, making the meaning of redemption for them all extraordinary. Here, I'd like to borrow a quote, also for Shushu and everyone who reads this: "If the road ahead leaves you with the shadows of the past, then there will surely be the sunshine of the future behind you." Undoubtedly, this precious redemption is mutual. Wei Ge, whom Xu Wan sees as a spiritual remedy, is just a normal high school boy of his age. He is also anxious and restless, easily impulsive but principled, and will argue fiercely with Cheng Fangguo. He only shows his tender side to his mother, Wei Xia. He is flamboyant and roguish, yet he doesn't hold back his affection for Xu Wan. In my opinion, his protection is the most enduring form of companionship. Even later, when Xu Wan's emotional support collapsed and the two had to separate, they remained devoted to each other. If I have any regrets about the story, it would probably be about the ending for Xia Guanxing and Shen Jiameng. Even if I think about it again after some time, I will still feel a pang of sadness. A long time ago, I remember when I first started reading the book, I asked Shushu a question. I've forgotten the specifics of the question, but it was something like: Where did Wei Ge's diary at age 40 come from, and who gave it to him? Could it involve multiple timelines? It was probably near the end that the clues in my mind finally seemed to come together, revealing that the previously questionable Lu Zirui was actually a key figure driving the story forward—a detail that surprised me greatly. Often, people are surprised or astonished by things, objects, or people beyond their comprehension, but this isn't entirely a bad thing. Just as Wei Ge's appearance brought a rare ray of sunshine to Jiang Xuwan's life, supporting her through one difficulty after another. Even if we don't know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, as long as we do what we should do, cherish what we have, and face life with a positive attitude, that's already a remarkable thing. There's so much more to say. I wrote and deleted, then wrote again, worried that there might be something I wanted to say but forgot to write. In fact, I didn't keep up with the updates; it was intermittent, and I missed some parts in between. I only subscribed to the rest and read them all after the book was finished. Of course, this is just me digressing, and I hope you don't mind, Shushu~ (￣▽￣~)~. Lastly, the series is over! 🌸 I wish everyone happiness and joy every day, to cherish the people and things you have, to believe in the vibrancy of life, to embrace your dreams and love life, and to believe in the happiness of interconnectedness—for this is the greatest miracle. PS: Shushu, you're awesome.

I had actually read your books before, but I didn't read them in detail. Romance novels are a bit difficult for someone like me with a rougher sense of style to understand. I took a closer look this time, and the opening dialogue is quite intense, immediately setting the scene. The narration and description are very comfortable, giving a gentle, flowing quality. It's a good piece of writing, worth savoring slowly. Keep it up! 😊

Well written, highly recommended!

A good book

Shushu, here I come (that's what I'll call you from now on, haha). I've been following this book closely and am looking forward to the new chapters, so I'll recommend it to you too. ~(￣▽￣~)~

Hahaha

Let's read a book first.

Keep it up! 👏
