Thirty year old Liang Xinhe broke up with her lover of seven years because the other cheated on her. Thirty-six year old Ning Xi finally broke up with her partner who had broken up and gotten back together with her several times.

When they first met, they were both in poor states of mind. They both thought that the other was going to be another person who had brushed past their shoulder, not knowing that their affinity had started.

Liang Xinhe: “So I press down the snow in my heart time and time again, as they are too white, too close to spring.”

Ning Xi: “These emotional affairs of the mortal world flash by like a sparrow suddenly swooping past.”

– Yu Xiuhua, “I Love You”

Translator on why it was this one first:

This is probably one of my top, if not my modern baihe novel. Without spoiling too much, the basic premise is that interior designer Liang Xinhe and author Ning Xi are both recovering from messy breakups/ issues in their lives when they start encountering each other by coincidence. The world is so big, but so small at the same time, since they become neighbors when Liang Xinhe moves, and they quickly become friends. And then, as they interact with each other more and... more>> more, they learn more about each other (the fact that they both had previous girlfriends) and start poking around at each other, and finally admit that they've fallen in love. It's very slow, it's very realistic, but they show that love is worth looking forward to, and within Ning Xi's words and Liang Xinhe's actions, we can see what love is meant to be.

The title is from Yu Xiuhua's poem "I Love You", which I found to be the extra cherry on top, with Ning Xi being an author, Liang Xinhe's name, and just the romanticism it brings to life. Hopefully I bring the book justice in the English translation! <<less

This novel is nice and relaxing with two people trying to move on from their past relationship. From random coincidental encounters they start to interact more frequently with one another and slowly fall in love again. I recommend giving this a read!

Not high-intensity or high-drama, but a sweet story about falling in love as a working adult... I feel like it asks questions like, what does it mean to be in love? in a relationship? how do you balance personalities against each other? how do you meet someone new and become closer? I really like it.

The novel has come to an end, so here is my review.

I really enjoyed the storyline. While it may feel slow-paced at times, it doesn't detract from the experience. In fact, it keeps you eager to read the next chapter. This novel has become one of my favourites, and I will definitely read it again.

(The translations by Hazevie are also well done!)

A really sweet and realistic story about love and break ups. I truly enjoyed how much thought and care went into portraying the growth of both characters, specially Ning Xi. It was really well done, specially because some times I didn't really like her personnality but seeing how she was trying to get out of her comfort zone and show that she cares for Liang Xinhe was truly heartwarming and rewarding. The mismatch at the beginning of their relationship was a nice touch too. Definitely a nice read !

“I don’t have many merits, and I have a lot of bad habits, ” Ning Xi said, her throat tightening. “I actually don’t know how to correctly spend time with another person, and I’ve always struggled with learning it. But I like talking with you, eating with you. I find that I’m really relaxed when you’re with me, but I’m afraid that I will do something wrong and let you down or make you sad.”

this baihe felt like... more>> drinking a warm cup of tea. it was so soft but also very bittersweet at the same time

the MC & FL are both well into their 30s and have loved and lost, and at the start of the novel both of them are coming out of different relationships, so this was undoubtedly a slow burn. the author took their time letting liang xinhe (mc) and ning xi heal and grow together which was just so... it was so sweet. right from the start I wanted to wrap liang xinhe & ning xi in a warm blanket because they just kept on going through it

but the pain they went through was worth it. it was also worth reading about since the two of them made such an endearing couple

however, I enjoyed this but I can’t say I loved it because the slice-of-life sfuff felt draggy at times? imo the translators did an amazing job with this so even if I struggled through certain chapters, the writing stayed consistent and good

kind of sad this isn’t longer though. I wanna see more of liang xinhe and ning xi together continuing to live in domestic bliss <<less
