    Set all the clocks back seven hours for you, watch "The Four Hundred Blows" over and over, eat the cake you gave me, and try to connect with you in some way. However, it was still terribly lonely. Cai Mingliang really took this kind of lonely, helpless and fearless love to the extreme.

    I read it fourteen years ago... Now that I think about it, it's a lonely story. From Lang Xiong, who was unanswered at first, to Li Kangsheng, who dialed the bell, to the heroine, they were all lonely. Staring at each other on the subway platform, I have experienced it myself in Paris. The scene at the end of the Tuileries Garden is Cai Mingliang's last tenderness. Also, Ye Tong's charming and sexy femininity is really underestimated! ! !
