At a blood donation event, seeing a beautiful signature from one of the donors, she takes a piece of paper and copies it out of boredom. Suddenly bumping into a handsome guy, feeling a sense of familiarity, she thinks for a bit and glances suspiciously at the signature she just copied …… is it his?

A few chance encounters, she finally meets him again at a high school reunion.

Upon saying goodbye, intelligent yet quiet, sincere yet serious, coolly yet gently he asks a question: “I had written and given you a letter, do you remember?” An Ning’s mind is muddled for a long while, does this mean ….. she had turned down Xu Mo Ting?

People usually squander time in their youth, hopefully when looking back, there are no regrets ……

You guys... What the f*ck is going on. Is my reading comprehension bad or?? The skips in scenes, conversations, and etc. are confuding the heck out of me. For example, she asks at some point: you really like me? And the next line is a scene change. Ok maybe it's the writing style but Jesus hello? Am I the only one bothered by the abrupt skips ? I have so many questions that have not been answered even to this point

... more>>
Spoiler

when did he ask her out? He didn't and she just became his gf? Is she accepting it? What happened to the letter? How did she reject him in the past? Why did he write it? Why do any of these meaningless chatter and conversations even matter at all with all these charaxterc here and rhere and who the f*ck is she talking to right now because is it me or is it always changing?

[collapse]

Honestly I want to like this for the "fluff" but my reading comprehension is like hello? Is it me, the translation or this author? Am I the only one confused half of the time here?? <<less

Reading this gave me a very serene and calm feeling with a little dash of happiness. This story isn’t dramatic at all, and is about the peaceful lives of a couple who missed each other in their beginning stages of life but found each other in the end.

The couple were classmates in high-school, but didn’t officially meet each other. The male MC has a crush on the female MC but she doesn’t know it. Fast-forwarding to college, they meet again and the male MC decides to once again chase the... more>> female MC he couldn’t forget after many years.

4.5-5 stars! <<less

MC falls in love with the ML after a few months of dating. That sounds reasonable, but the author barely develops their relationship besides giving us makeout sessions, a couple lines of him asking her out to eat, and that's it. I literally don't understand how she falls in love with him when she barely knows anything about him and doesn't even bother to properly communicate her own problems to him.

For example, MC gets into a fight, gets a scratch on her cheek, and when he asks her what happens,... more>> she simply states, "fight, " and then he doesn't ask her anything about it. Later, when she finds out that he has to study abroad at the end of the year, she feels sad, but she chooses not to tell him about her feelings.

The girl is literally a robot who doesn't do anything besides spitting out random facts. The author thinks it's quirky to have a character like this, but after ten long, whole chapters of useless dialogue, it gets annoying pretty fast.

Also, with five chapters left of the novel, I still don't understand how he fell in love with her and had a crush on her for five-six years. If there was a good enough reason, which I highly doubt (unless the MC saved his life, but judging by her character, she probably didn't) then it should have been explained before they started dating. <<less

I am not fond of stories with lots of drama. When I read, I tend to connect to the characters/story too much and really feel it, so the constant up and down's really wear me out.

So, when I say, 'I wish this story had just a bit more drama', this is definitely the first time.

... more>>
Spoiler

The points that could/should have caused drama were solved far too easily, even abruptly. The uncle's situation was fine. It seemed to fit his personality. I just don't understand why the father suddenly changed his attitude. It also seemed like the story was setting the Xu family elder's to be a potentially strong obstacle, but that came to nothing.

[collapse]

Going through drama with the character's is what helps us connect to them. Whether it was the lack of drama or something else, I found myself not really connecting with Xu Mo Ting and An Ning. Though I say that, don't misunderstand, I really enjoyed the story and absolutely loved An Ning's character and enjoyed Xu Mo Ting not being as overbearing as some male lead's tend to be.

Big thank you to Hui3r. The translations I've read are very high quality. <<less

The writing is just uugh. I don't know if it's just the translation or if it's the author's fault. My brain can't take the abrupt change of scenes. I understand what's going on but I didn't enjoy the story at all because of the way it's written. I needed more brain cells while reading this than reading stories with puzzle and mind games. I've been reading novels for so many years but this confused me the most, wtf

First off, kudos to the translator because I can really feel that this might be the most taxing novel ever to be translated (for them). I enjoyed reading it because this novel is based of conversations between characters; no nonsense whatsoever... okay, maybe a little back-story. A fair warning to new readers, if you don't understand the Chinese culture and literature, you'll find it difficult to keep up with the novel as you might be browsing the internet or dictionary to understand them. Or even scratching your head trying to... more>> understand the translator's notes. Overall, the novel was awesome! Although, I was duped by the number of chapters... <<less

There were so many ppl who like this so I think it's just me having different taste. so despite the criticism below and also given the fact that I haven't finished it do give it a try and take this few word of mine as a grain of salt.

Im dropping-

Why?

About the cold humor the reviewer was talking about: i thought given the fact that I read hundreds of Chinese novel with all genre and can even mtl an ancient one yet still can grasp whats going on I might can understand it but no! I have absolutely no idea whatever the f** the FL is talking about neither her inner monologue. I think The author is trying so hard to make her a unique character yet she just come off as a weird person. at some point I was wondering how did she survive outside alone when she space out this much. I almost thought she has autism. She's like a robot with no feelings... Also by the time the relationship was confirmed I'm still not sure wether she likes the xu mo ting or not? She never mentioned nor thought about it... like she just go with the flow... Although she blushed and heart flutter kind situations I still don't know. She that one person who says "I guess" in every sentence cos she's not even sure what's she's doing lol but she might figure it out in the latter chapters. so yeah,

i also didn't really enjoyed the "romance" it didn't give me butterflies or something. My face was numb from the lack of expression I'm making throughout the chapters. I also don't understand why the ML fell for her and having a crush for years? Her face? or her random bs spitting random facts in the most inappropriate situations? Istg I was just rolling my eyes whenever she did that

or maybe cos it was an old book thus the romance didn't live up to my standard idk at this point im just making excuses of why I didn't like this. I want to give it two star but it would be unfair since I didn't manage to reached the end but reading the comments it didn't have much different

Male lead is so devoted.

Too bad he doesn't believe in reincarnation. I can only explain his feelings with "cultivated throughout many lifetimes"

... more>> I was hoping love-letter incident was something funny given the female lead's personality and short-term memory. Didn't think it would turn out as dramatic plot.

On the side note, I like the Little Uncle. I was hating him till the point where he gave Xu Mo Ting his letter back. Then I start empathizing with him when he drove away and expressed his inner thoughts. He faced his failure (failing to persuade Meow Meow and failing to get revenge on Xu family) like a bigger person. All previous offenses forgiven! I'm willing to read if someone decided to translate his epilogues. <<less

I just love this book. I have read it multiple times. It just gives you a happy feeling. Ah Ning is a very high IQ low EQ girl with a bad memory for people and faces. I love that she is smart and studies physics. She is beautiful, but is not overly concerned about it. Mo Ting (ML) and Ah Ning (FL) were schoolmates. However, Ah Ning has no recollection and at one time ML would have made a love confession to FL, but she has no recollection. For ML... more>> who is usually very sought after by girls, it hurts his ego a bit. It is later clear that there were other things at play when it comes to the love letter. When they meet again, ML decides to go after FL and for once, he somehow catches her eye and they end up together. He is very typical of lot of Chinese novel ML -- he takes over her whole life. But she is not someone who wouldn't go along with him unless she was ok with it (when you see how she easily rejects other suitors). I like it. Translation is good too. <<less

It is a very good novel just that the ending is a bit dissatisfying. Not proper ending rather sounded abrupt. Showing so many strong willed and jade characters going all soft suddenly and happily making things easy for the MC's (while their character build-up was of jaded-politicians, uncompromising type).

But starting and the middle of the story was good very likable characters too. Humor was good too, some one lines really makes one roll around while laughing :D. Then there was this matter of FMC's forgetfulness about certain thing which was... more>> not solved (for FMC) though MMC came to know the fact.

Overall a very pleasant read. <<less

If you ever watch cdrama, Love O2O, you will most definitely love this webnovel. It has the same vibe (campus love, devoted-intelligent-dry male lead, grateful-adorable female lead).

It also isn’t dramatic, peaceful and heartwarming story. Only with a bit more spice [R-18].

Hmm. To think that I wouldn't get bored while reading this.... MC is cool, calm, and collected. ML is also cool and mature. Not at all overbearing. He managed to wait 5-6 years too, so that's a plus. MC definitely made me laugh and her friends too. ML made me long for someone like him, but I know that with my looks and temperament, I likely will not LMAO.

Just that, they just interacted for a few times and they're already dating? No courtship or whatsoever? The translation is also kinda... more>> messy. The site also doesn't have the 'next chapter' button so I had to go back, read and repeat which is tiring lol.

4.3 / 5. <<less

Like tags saying, this is SLICE OF LIFE. For someone that dislike slice of life, please don't give this bad ratings. For me, this is a gem!! ♥ ♥ ♥ノ (º _ ºノ)

Actually I'm already read this till complete from ages ago. But I forgot make a review. This is must read for someone that likes heartwarming romance story w/o drama like me :)

This is college setting. Both are students. I love FL and ML. They are cool type of person. But that... more>> don't make the story not interesting. This is my favorite CN novel!! I hate dog-bloody drama, so this is my cup of tea.

I will say this again I REALLY LOVE FL AND ML. Even after some times after I finished reading this, I still remember their name. Li An Ning. Xu Mo Ting. They totally my favorite character!!! I said that three times lol. But they are so interesting for me. OK, maybe some people think they are bland and boring, but for me, they are just so cute!

Spoiler

ML fell in love to FL from high school. She is his first love. ML made love letter for FL in high school, but FL didn't know that letter existed because she is in accident. Poor ML!! But in college, ML determined to chase after FL. So, from beginning of novel, ML already fell for FL. (´∀`) ♡

[collapse]

Spoiler

A bit drama about FL's family. But that's not too strong to separate FL and ML. ヘ ( ̄▽ ̄*) ノ

[collapse]

Sooo, this is just FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF!!! SWEET SWEET SWEET!!! Drama? Go away. Angst? Go away. Heartwarming? Yess! Very recommended for readers that seek for light romance story. <<less

I love it! Although the chapter were too short~~ haish (I don't have enough of their sweetness in my life). Maybe because the background is campus romance, I find some of the scene in few of the chapters are eerily similar with A Smile is Alluring (Gu Man).

Don't be mistaken, I love both authors and their work. It's just that some of the scene... are the same. Only placed in different situation at a different time.

All in all, its a good read.

The trouble with this story is that the way it is written works well in Chinese, but not after it's translated. As someone who understands Chinese, I can imagine how the banter works in the original novel, but the wit and humor is lost once translated to English. No fault of the translator of course; the style of the writer just doesn't carry over in English.

To Peanuts the translator from Hui3 website thank you for the good job translating the novel.

For the plot, I would say, I tried my hard to like this more but I just felt it is only okay. It didn't stir my heart and attention. I love that the MC and ML are both strong leads. IMHO, I think the MC has a really mental problem in terms of remembering faces and memories or since he had difficult time during HS years she wanted to abandon the memories related to those... more>> years because all the while I read she was so problematic with people ' s faces and memories.

Actually for this novel I don't have any scene imprinted in my mind that I had with the other novels that I read already. Ahhh, the calligraphy scene, that's all.

Well I give 4 stars for the translation. That's all. This won't be in my re-reading list. <<less

Ive read the warning from the translator.

This novel sure does have cold humor, like wtf theyre talking about.

Im actually not satisfied with this novel because the author has tendencies to let the reader guess all of the possibility that happened in the novel.

... more>> Like the reason why ML like FL, about FL accident, and so on.

I mean those are important for me to understand but the author, or in this case can be the translator idk who, just let it be...

Also FL friends sometimes is not considerate to FL... If I have friends like that I'll surely say something to them.

Generally this novel is interesting, ML is not overbearing, FL also not too passive. <<less
