Sour and Sweet

1. Read in chapter order first, and watch for the foreshadowing details of He Shi "knowing but not responding"; revisiting the first half after finishing will feel different.
2. Treat Yaqi's psychological shifts as the main thread; pause every few chapters and think about what she would choose in the same situation.
3. Best read one or two chapters before bed; the emotional ups and downs are mild and won't affect sleep.
4. After finishing, write down your own view on "whether a crush should be confessed" and compare it with the characters' choices in the book.
