Synopsis
The story follows the evolving relationship between Gu Nian and his distant cousin, Gu Chen. Their connection begins when Gu Nian first encounters Gu Chen as a gentle, striking child, leaving a lasting impression that lingers through the years. This narrative reads like a traditional age-gap BL vignette, focusing on sentimental bonds and the quiet passage of time. It is ideal for readers who appreciate brief, atmospheric character studies and soft romantic tension. However, those seeking a complex plot or a long-form epic should skip this title. Due to its extremely limited length, the pacing is abrupt, functioning more as a series of emotional snapshots than a fully developed novel. Its standout quality lies in the delicate imagery used to describe the characters' initial meeting and the lingering longing that permeates the prose.

Editorial Review
This is a remarkably brief completed work, consisting of only six chapters. Its primary strength lies in its atmospheric quality; the author successfully establishes a mood of nostalgic longing and gentleness through the introduction of Gu Chen. However, the brevity is also its greatest weakness. With such a low chapter count, there is insufficient room to explore the complexities of the relationship or provide a satisfyingly paced resolution. It feels more like a prose poem or a short story than a novel. Given the lack of visibility and the minimal content, it serves as a quick, sentimental read rather than a substantial narrative experience. While the writing is evocative, the lack of development prevents it from achieving a higher editorial rating.
