Lemon Soda Candy

Description

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

Back in high school, the second bravest thing Zhou Anran ever did was, on a day when Chen Luobai looked upset, she secretly placed two lemonsoda candies on his desk.

At that time, he was the proud son of heaven sought by everyone.

She was just an ordinary classmate whose name he couldn’t even remember.

Later, they met again in university. Zhou Anran who had to fight for her life to get into the top university, remained as inconspicuous as ever in a sea of academic prodigies, while Chen Luobai instantly became the centre of attention the moment he entered the school.

Zhou Anran thought they would never cross paths again. But, one time in an elective course, Chen Luobai placed two pieces of the familiar lemonsoda candies on her desk.

“Have you tried this candy?”He seemed to ask casually.

Zhou Anran’s heart jumped, she lowered her head, not answering the question.

Chen Luobai continued, “I came to know this candy because someone in high school secretly left two pieces on my desk before. While everyone else was stuffing love letters into my desk, that person just left two candies, but—”

He paused.

Zhou Anran couldn’t help but to tilt her head to look at him, at once, her gaze was met with the boy’s smiling and focused eyes that were staring back at her, as if he was trying to convey something.

“It’s pretty sweet.”

The same words he would later say on the night he kissed her for the first time.

——All that you wish for will one day come true.

ahhhhh!!!!! this was actually an amazing read. FL Zhou Anran is quite introverted, shy and lowkey. She was in love with the ML Chen Loubai for long time. Due to some issues during their school time she transferred to another school, ML by that time already had a good impression but by time he realized she transferred and he ended up knowing about her crush on him... All in all it was pretty good.

This is sweet high school to university love story. Its the story if secret love of FL to ML. Our FL is a very introverted, timid person and the ML is a school grass. She silent loved him for long time untill the ML finally starts to notice her.

This a very very slow paced story. First part includes their high school then leads to university. Its a good read if u want to pass time.

A cute read. FL is timid and introverted, a caring warm-hearted girl who works hard to better herself. ML is smart, right-minded and is sure in what he wants and believes. The secret love is really hitting close to heart; it was bitter, sour, yet at the same time she can't seems to stop herself from falling deeper. I also find myself enjoying the friendship in this, everyone is so supportive to each other.

All in all, the story is a slow-burn, it takes me few chapters before I can get... more>> myself immersed, but I'm glad I persevered. <<less

This was really cute and quite slow burn. Half of stories told about her enduring her secret love, so if you dont like slow burn, this is not for you. But I really like this.

The FL was a super shy girl, s*upidly in love with ML. However, what I like about her, she has her own thing in her life. She loved her parents, and she didnt follow everything what ML did. She has her other desire other than being with ML. I truly like this. Its hard to write... more>> a super shy FL without making her dumb and making me having a second embarrassment, and this author did it. I kept getting a moment where I wanted to punch a wall because how cute her interaction with ML.

The ML was not overbearing. He was not cold. He just like to keep a distant to other girls. He knew what he wanted and did anything to have it. The way he treated FL was sooo good. He never challanged FL to go out of her zone. He never tried to make her jealous too. He loved her, and he knew she loved him, and that was enough for him. The way he chased her was so sweetly smooth that I got toothache from it. <<less

Secret love of a shy, introverted girl toward a popular boy who's a balanced mix of a gentleman and a bad boy. Sugary sweet fluff after the lemony sour pining. Perfect pick-me-up when you're having a bad day. :)

It's really cute that I couldn't resist and MTL'ed it!! It's a typical sweet yet sour story of having a secret crush with someone you could never really have a chance to be with. FL is a timid girl who doesn't dare to look at him openly, while ML is someone who 'shines' wherever he goes. He's always the center of attention, while she is part of the crowd that gathers around him to watch.

The story itself doesn't contain any angst, it's only a bit sour. But like lemon, the... more>> sourness isn't enough to actually dampen the taste, but makes you feel a bit refreshed (and thank the novel gods for that). I guess with the number of novels I read where both main leads have countless regrets that they wished to make up to from their younger years since they knew each other, this novel was heaven sent to me as a gift because thankfully they didn't miss out on each other for too long. This review may be a bit biased (as I looooove this kind of trope very much—secret crush turns reciprocated aka A fell first and B falls harder) but it's a really great novel to read as a breather from heavy novels you read or if you just want some pick-me ups.

Also really loved how
Spoiler

the title really matched the flow of the story like how the author wrote in one of the chapters

A very cute love story, both bittersweet and sweet (bittersweet comes before sugar overload). This kind of romance generally never develops to such a happy end in real life however, so don't read it for absolute realism. Read it instead for the lovely romance, overall slow burn, and the ambience the author pulls off so well.

I've reread this twice. The story is really sweet and sour. As the title suggests, the ML and FL have three phases to their relationship. The first phase is the Lemon phase, where FL experienced the sour taste of having a one sided crush. Then, it changed to the Soda phase, where FL experienced the fizziness of having the ML pursued her, just like when you drink soda, you can taste the tingles it leaves on your tongue. Then, the third phase, which is the Candy phase, where they start... more>> their relationship and everything about it is teeth rotting. <<less

It was good, there were a few cringe moments but overall good. I think I liked the alternative version of the story better though. It was much cuter and sweet. Especially since they are in the sweet phase for most of that version, i.e., before dating but all the innocent and cute interactions.

So good, really.

The main character's actions and personality were just so endearing and sweet, in my opinion there are not so many people that can love someone and want to protect them like she did. Likewise the male lead was just as good, I loved how he handled his relationship with the people around him, his friends, classmates, people not close to him and all that.

Although there were some troubles they didn't make me feel like it was the end of the world. It was frustrating but evn that didn't... more>> really last long.

I liked the story but it's the second time that the extras were the ones that took me.
Spoiler

The extras with the alternative story, if only that didn't happen and everything was smooth sailing for them. It just kinda made me sad to know that because of such a small thing their future changed so much and time was wasted

It happened to me when I read the extras of Lovely allergen, I just wished the extras were the real story. But even so these two are beautiful novels, recommended 100% <<less

A sweet and fluffy high school love story that blooms between a shy and cute girl and the male lead as she leaves behind many impactful yet unnoticable traces in Ml's life as she struggles to display her feelings and concern by overcoming her introvert and timid nature at times. Which is later on and gradually discovered by ML one by one.

Spoiler

She lets ML to remain as secret crush and had no hopes of getting together with him. Later on, ML takes the approach when he started to notice her traces in his life which he had not paid any special attention to.
