Summary

Ye Tian wakes up in the girls' dormitory after a drunken night, brought back by transfer student Xia Wen, and their relationship becomes complicated from there. Torn between his old feelings for Wang Ran, he is drawn into campus conflicts with his brothers Xiaolei, Meng Tian, and Qi Meng: planned fights on the back hill, clashes at the skating rink, and confrontations with Bi Long and other rival groups. As Ye Tian pretends to be a leader and shoulders the responsibilities of a high school freshman, he gradually matures, and his brotherhood with Yu Ge is tested by borrowing money, trouble, and going on the run. Told in first person, the novel is a passionate story of a group of reckless youths sweating, loving, and hating both inside and outside school.

Editor's review

This is a typical first-person campus hot-blooded novel, with brotherhood and young romance running in parallel. Fight scenes are dense and the pacing is fast, and the language and plot carry the rough, satisfying feel of early web fiction. Suited to readers looking for youthful nostalgia and campus brotherhood stories. Weaknesses: characterization is fairly flat, the romance is handled somewhat crudely, and the writing is casual; readers who demand more in terms of detail and values may need to lower their expectations.
