Wow! Right when I edit my post, I get welcomed to the fandom! Thank you dear <33 Did you comment as soon as I posted LOL?? That was so fast, I'm still surprised xDD
I read 12 chapters of this story on Wed. Aug. 22 while I was at the airport in my city, and time just flew by... The festival extras were precious too :)) I told myself I had to read this again when I came back from vacation.
Oh yeah. Ever since I heard that the new chap was posted I ZOOMED to read it and then I always check the comments right after
I literally reread this manhua for the seventh time 2 days ago. I just love it so much and it makes me happy to see others enjoying it too! A second or even third read is a must. You catch little things you missed before and appreciate the art more. :^}}
I feel that I may indeed fall deeper and deeper in love with this story... I appreciate how realistic this story feels, and I would not be surprised if DJun based the story on their own experiences or experiences their peers had. Homophobia for example exists. There are people who enter post-secondary who are very involved with campus life and those who aren't. We really don't know who we could meet and make us happier. :)
I'm a post-secondary student myself. I'm not a new student like LiHuan but I am thinking of how this school year could be different. You never know who you could meet, including people who you love being with or being bored of your connections. This story reminds me to live in the moment more :)
I sat down today to binge-read and as of chapter 49, I'm happy I did :)) This is such great timing since school is starting tomorrow for me LOL and the boys enrolled in their new year at university at the beginning of this story. I love the fluff and that they gradually get to know each other. <33
LiHuan reminds me of my high school crush. My high school crush also gets misunderstood as being a cold person because he doesn't smile often, and he doesn't approach people. He also sounds grumpy at times LOL. But like LiHuan, he had family circumstances that affected him and wasn't motivated to befriend new folks. I didn't have a good first impression of him either LOL and I thought he ignored me. But after clarifying with him, I learned he didn't mean to and he explained himself to me.
Although, I find parts of myself in YuYang or at least his life... When YuYang reflects in chapter 33, "...there is not a single one that likes me back," that's how I feel too LOL. I've received confessions and I'm that person who gets told that I'm popular because I'm friendly or don't run out of friends, but...even when there are folks around, the one you like isn't always the one who looks at you. :/ I thought it was understandable of YuYang to feel content through his school life, and even though he still likes Lin Xiang, he doesn't try to get a boyfriend to move on either.
I related to YuYang's "I'm like that to everyone" in chapter 36, since sometimes, people really could think you have your eyes on them just because you're nice to them. They don't realize that you treat them like how you would treat anyone else. :/ It's hard... Sometimes, these are the people who would like you and then you reject them. I do like YuYang and JiangYu's mature conversation though; even though you get rejected, you could still be friends. :)
I like that this story demonstrates that we really don't need complicated reasons to fall in love with someone.... You could fall in love with how they treat you, like how kind they are. It was very thoughtful of YuYang to lie on JiangYu's behalf that he asked her to take photos of him on her phone, or when YuYang lied to Lin Xiang by saying our protagonist has a boyfriend, just so Lin Xiang won't feel guilty for not loving YuYang back/rejecting YuYang...
I like that YuYang said love is based on emotions and Lin Xiang just seems different from everyone else... I think that's how it is when you fall in love: you could be with so many others, but for some reason, you just like them. I remember having friends wonder why I liked my high school crush too, and I didn't have an answer that they could understand either.
I look forward to reading more (▰˘◡˘▰) I hope YuYang realizes he loves LiHuan soon. I wish for all the YuYangs of the world to find their soulmates <33
