Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When I was ten, I fell from a tree and hit my head. When I woke up, the world around me had changed. I could see people’s emotions in the form of numbers and colours—pink for love, red for anger, green for awkwardness, blue for sorrow, yellow for desire…

I met Yan Kongshan the summer after college entrance exams on Green Plum Island. Mysterious and handsome, with a tinge of melancholy, he was the ideal man of every woman on the island. And mine.

I wanted him to turn pink for me, but one day, he suddenly turned yellow. Despite that, he seemed ever so nonchalant when facing me.

Love is like lemon soda water. Sour and sweet, filled with energy.

You never know how a person’s heart beats for you, hidden in its cage beneath their flesh.

Once you get over the extreme 2nd hand embarrassment you get from reading the story in the MC's POV, you'll find that it's an extremely adorable story. Though the age gap between MC and ML might seem a bit large to some I was fine with it since that let into the dynamic of the MC being clumsy while trying to get the ML interested in him while the ML was mature and collected. This story is definitely for when you want a short and light read, I also feel... more>> it gets better with time when you reread it. <<less

This is a gem of a story. It's about family, it's about falling in love, and it happens to be about a gay MC. I discovered the BL genre 2 years ago and have found some great stories, but also a lot of unappealing stuff- if only more stories could be like this. This novel is not too long, and is bright and light.

This story wasn't up to my expectations. The translation was good, that was the only thing that made it a bit more appealing to me.

It's about MC's first crush in a warm summer. Their relationship development is a bit too much one sided for me. One sided love stories aren't bad, but this one's leaning too much on one sided.

The point which makes I disliked the most was the fact that how the MC is the only one working hard to develop the relationship.

The too much work from one side... more>> and no work from the other side gives it a disbalanced vibe.

The ML just loves giving MC a hard time, just for nothing.

MC is our daily life boy next door, which gives a real life vibe to his character which I found both relatable and bland

The interactions between them was also nothing, just grey. After MC's relentless pursuing the ML succumbs to his desires. <<less

Cute and fluffy romance with some sprinkles of humour and drama.

Lemme just say that for those who are still trying to have a general idea to decide whether they want to read this or not:

1. This is a slice of life, not too much excitement.

... more>> 2. Everyone is normal, except for the ability MC gained but other than that, everyone else is a normal human so there ain't gonna be surprises.

3. Story is well-written, recommended after heavy reads.

*Note: take note of a novel's tags first before rambling on when they don't meet your tastes but precisely does the tags justice. <<less

A heartwarming story that envelops you and makes you feel really comfortable and happy. Both ML and MC have wonderful personalities, the relationship develops naturally and is extremely satisfying. The side characters are also genuine and well developed. A very warm and fuzzy read that makes me want to go to Green Plum Island myself.

very very good read. As someone who is her late teen this is a very enjoyable and understandable story. It also make me realise that maybe if I have try hard enough as the MC I would have still be in a relationship.

Saw the extra and decided to read it and I still love as much if not more. I hope I will be filled with people who love me as much as grandpa. Kyc and the daughter<3

I lack one percent, no, even less than one percent of determination and persistence with which Yu Mian chases after Yan Kongshan.

Needless to say, my crush was buried before it could even see the daylight. Rest in peace.

This is my first time making a review, but I'll just make it short.

This novel is so good; it has plenty of likeable casts, it's short, and it's super sweet. It's written in first pov and present tense, which might be a huge turn-off for some people (it also took me a while to get used to after countless third pov novels, don't worry), but the translation quality makes up for it.

All in all, I heavily recommend this novel. I managed to binge everything in less than 24 hours and... more>> now I'm in a post-reading depression, lol. I never thought I'd like it this much, so go read! <<less

The best slice of life romance yet, really really enjoyed this one! I was reluctant to read this novel at first but I immediately regretted for not reading it sooner haha. I love MC I love ML I love all the people living in the green plum island. If you are still deciding whether to read or not then don’t trouble yourself any further just read it

Wow the secondhand embarrassment I felt while reading this lmao It is a really cute short story retelling a teen boy's unrequited (ofc not but at the beginning) love towards his handsome older neighbor who doesn't believe in love. It is not the most original plot out there I know but it's just while you're reading it you can't help feel so warm everything is too sweet our couple is soooo cute the side characters are one of the best features of this novel like as in whole it really... more>> fills you with happiness. To see everything from MC's view was a really great choice. There are things that aren't answered but I liked the way that we can't learn about them cuz even the MC doesn't know a thing about all the mysteries and that's what it makes it a lot more interesting. Such a cute and fun story really enjoyed reading it totally recommended <<less

The story was good, it was short and direct to the point. It may not be my cup of tea in a BL story, but the fact that I finished it and kinda liked it says something about the story.

The way the characters thinks and they not over complicate things, which is very common in other novels, is very refreshing. There are times that I think I would get secondhand embarrassment due to the MC being a dumb kid (which is my most hated thing for an MC) but it... more>> did not happen, he always finds a way to make me think that everything he does makes sense.

It was good for a 1 day binge reading session. <<less

This was so wholesome to read, like melting chocolate in your mouth.

MC is a sweet 19 year old guy from a broken family who moves to Green Plum Island to live with his grandfather. Due to an accident as a child he can see other people's emotions by the colour and number on top of their heads.

He fell in love at first sight for ML and proactively hopes to one day see the colour pink (Love) above ML's head.

It's a very sweet chase.

Funny, cute, got a bit of angsty moments, sweet, heartfelt, with some tragic moments, realistic in a lot of aspects but still has fairytale-ish vibes where you know everything is going to be fine and dandy and everyone’s happy in the end.

Great read, I loved the story and the characters a lot. I thought it would take a different route tbh but it never went over the top and stayed pretty mellow when you would think “uh oh things are gonna get bad.” I really like the MC’s outlook on... more>> life.

A couple things I didn’t quite like is that MC’s synesthesia was never really explained... And the way it went away nearly made me laugh like... what... And I felt that it didn’t go as deep into MC and ML’s relationship as much as I would have liked it to. Like we’re just getting a glimpse into their relationship, it’s more focused on MC’s feelings and thoughts as a whole which isn’t bad but it made me want more.

Everything else though was wonderful. I would like this on my bookshelf, I would like to read it again one day. <<less

I FINISHED THE WHOLE STORY!!!!!heck even the extras are not spared!! Ive read like hundreds of novels but NEVER have I tried ending them for some apparent reasons. But I did!! I did with this one! Surely not because its short coz ive walk on short novels before with its 5 chapters as its full length. So the reason behind this lies with its simplicity that makes it more realistic than any other ones that ive read. My inability to critique properly leads to this unnecessary comment of mine which... more>> makes me realize that this is the very first comment I did. 😂😂Awesome!!
Anyway, the author did a good job on this one although the smut scene (yes!just one😂) are a bit lacking for a self veteran fujoshi like me, its still there. The translation is great too! I would like to thank GHOSTBIRD for sending this package of dogfood to this single dog in quarantine!!😂😂
Ps. Green Plum Island had taken my first twice😂😂 <<less

I want more!!!

Wish the author keep writing until 1000 chapters. They’re just freaking sweet!

This is a love story of a teenager who embark his journey to the adulthood. The feeling of first love, the thrilling of first kiss, the sweetness of first love. Everything written in a clever wicked hilarious way.

... more>> All the characters are sweet, witty, you’ll love them all, and of course you’ll love our MC, MianMian, the most.

Read how this smart 18 yo boy who had gone through difficulties in life, always see the good things in life and never surrender to the sadness. If you read his perspective, you only see his positive way of seeing people around him, funny, and never let himself succumbed to his sad life. Divorced parents, he was loved yet alone and unwanted, bullied in high school, but he never feel that he was a man worth our pity.

Our ML also very good, but to be honest, he was the lucky one for MianMian loved him and pursue him.

The extra ability is just like a glimpse in this story, our MC never relied to his ability to win affections from people around him. I love the author’s writing style, and wish to read more of this super sweet couple. <<less

The novel gave me a really nostalgic feeling, thinking about first loves and hot summer days. It was just what I needed right now.

Idk why but it reminded me a bit of “Call me by your name”, but with a happy ending.

Thanks to the author and the translators for their amazing work!

Light and fluffy. Both the MC and ML feel real to their age.

MC simultaneously comes off as a young and impulsive teen, but also surprisingly insightful and mature in how he approaches relationships.

ML is a mature adult, but comes off as childishly jaded towards his previous failed love.

The little details from all the background characters, as well as the descriptions of the island all work together to weave a really believable and refreshing story. I wasn't sure how I felt about the first person narration, but I got into it... more>> after a few chapters and liked how much we saw into MC's thoughts. <<less

This is a lovely read! Not a single boring chapter. I love how MC is surprisingly bold and clumsy in showing his affections, and how ML feels really human. The side characters are great. Plot’s not over the top, but extremely enjoyable. I love the relationship development so much. And it’s the perfect length to conclude things without getting too draggy. I’d recommend this to anyone!
