Suddenly, This Summer

Description

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

Memories are like the air; love is the distance between two cities [referring to Karen Mok’s song]. This is not fictional love story, but the story of your own first love, so pure that it makes one in envy of your youth. Such an innocent love makes us constantly look back at a time that is bright and precious.

Back then, high schooler Zhang Yuan stared at her arrogantly. “Little miss, look up. Let Master, I, look at you carefully.” Back then, Zhang Yuan bashfully dodged He Luo’s claws. “Now you’re already my person, whether you’re flat or round, isn’t it all mine?” Back then, Zhang Yuan stood for 18 hours to come to Beijing. Travel-worn, he said, “You lazy girl, did you just wake up?” Back then, Zhang Yuan handed He Luo photos of her home(?). “I thought you would be the madam of the house.”

So effortless, so brave, so proud, even the last tear was filled with warmth. Thus, we refuse to grow old, like picking up a book and reading it over and over again. Thus, before we grow old, please savour this book, as if savouring memories of our own youth.

I continued reading it using machine translator. There's a sense of realism on their everyday life. Just look at the interactions of the characters. It's a story about having an unrequited crush and chasing after them. You just want to be close with your crush, etc.

Uhh. It's not kinda clear to me the reason for their break-up. But from what I gathered the reason is the guy wanted to break-up because he feels that the FMC thinks that she's superior because she's studying in Beijing? But the guy only dicipher that thru the actions and words of the FMC while FMC does not know the reason for break up. He just said that he's not what she wants him to be. Anyways, it's still a happy ending.

It's an okay read. A recommended read. <<less

It is a good read thus far about the female lead who on the spur of the moment transferred to the science stream as her fancy for the male lead increased when she attended a maths class. I like the natural way both of them eased into a relationship and how the heroine doubted if the hero has feelings for her as he seemed to treat other girls the same. She was torn in two when her father asked her to leave for the states to further her studies and... more>> how she fought to stay back. I do like the way that the hero responded to her question of furthering her studies and the impact on their relationship.

However, having read the raw (with some doubts) there seems to be no explanation of how both of them and their friends entered into varsity. It seems disjointed there ever since the heroine went to stay at her grandparents house, maybe it would be cleared if the translator were to upload. It is going to be a month since the last update.

It is a good read as my preference is not for light. Fluffy and airy fairy plots. <<less

OMG, the story is so heartbreaking I couldn't help my self but to cry a lot. I don't know who should I scold, MC or ML. Both have their wrongs but I'm mainly angry at ML.

Spoiler

He broke up with her first. I know in this case, she's in the wrong. She often forced her own opinion to ML and didn't support his desicion wholeheartedly. But he shouldn't hastily ask for breakup without giving her a chance to change. How could she change if ML never told her his own thought? He even left her without any explanation.

But despite of that, she still came back to him and tried to accommodate and understand him more. She also supported his choice and even tried to help him by doing some researches. But what ML did? He still didn't learn his lesson and often left MC in the dark. He never asked her to be together again and left their relationship ambiguous. Yes, MC could be the one who asked first but he was so busy with his own life and didn't have time left for MC.

And when he's finally settled down, it's already too late. She's already tired of waiting and decided to leave. Come on dude, you couldn't expect the girl to wait for you if you didn't even give a d*mn to say anything to her. Ugh, I really hate this part of ML.

And MC, I feel like her life was revolved around ML only. At least ML knew what he wanna do in the future but MC was always at lost. She wanted ML to decide for her but how could ML did that? He already struggled with his own life. I know MC just wanna be together with ML wherever it was but she should have her own life. She shouldn't lose herself in the name of love.

I seriously think that ML and MC are better off without each other. Well, their relationship couldn't be categorized as toxic but it's definitely unhealthy. They never properly communicate with each other. They also never try to face their own problem bravely and often choose to run away. But in the end, I guess love will conquer all.

As for the ending, I think there are several chapters more before the actual ending. I don't know why the author didn't continue the translation till the end (it's killing me, you know). Unfortunately, I couldn't find the raw version of the novel's ending so I couldn't MTL it. As my last resort, I search for the spoiler in the novelupdates forum.

Spoiler

There are 2 version of the ending in the forum.

Version 1: MC and ML reunited again in America. They finally got back together, got married, and had a daughter together.

Version 2: They reunited but broke up again because ML wanted to marry other woman. MC got pregnant with ML's child (it's a boy) and decided to raise him on her own. After several years, she came home with her child only to learn a cruel story about the real reason of his desicion to breakup in the past. He never intend to marry other woman. In fact, he had a cancer and didn't have much time to live. That's why he asked MC to breakup. And after that he died silently without MC knowing.

I don't know which version is the real one. Of course I personally choose the first version. I wish they had their happy ending. Even if they didn't get back together in the end, I hope that no one died.

This is a heart-breaker.. Good thing that translator stopped at ch 28 at half of the actual novel.. Remaining chapters are just too depressing..

Life is already full of so much sadness, do we really need more??

Don't know why though I gave 5 stars..

i want to give this 5 stars.. but I cant, becoz reading this is really tiring for my heart. no sense of satisfaction at all.

2 ppl sharing a deep love... super deep. but becoz of bad communication, ego stuffs... drifting them apart further and further. creating so many unnecesary misunderstanding. *sigh*

so be prepared to tire your heart out before your decide to read this novel.

and this should not be marked as completed translated. becoz it is just halfway done. I finished this book from its raw version
