I Give Half of My Life to You Chapter 31 Discussion

This is probably the most wholesome read I've had the pleasure of reading! A tale of unlikely childhood sweethearts brought together by grandma's belief in fates and superstition.

While the key line in the summary ("They said I can live a hundred years, I'll give you half, okay?") , that hooked me into reading this, didn't occur... it's still super lovely to read :')

ML falls for MC way, way, w a y early on in their childhood--as seen in his actions and mannerisms.

Spoiler

• • secretly leaving 2 apples in front of MC' s door on her first day (he's not so tough and cold huh)

• • trading jade pendants bc he wants hers

• • acquiescence to everything she asks for he's gonna coddle and spoil her rotten in the future!

It's a little confusing early on when he's described as a teenager (unless I misunderstood something) but he and MC are born on the same date, same year! He's more mature than MC, given his health experiences and his home life which gives the illusion that he's older than MC. The moments they spend together are so wholesome, my mum could bake loaves with them and never run out! Those moments are when ML gets to be a normal kid again. in my feels. jpg

I'm honestly stunned by how well the author portrays the childlike innocence in our MC, who is a kid. Often times kids get portrayed awkwardly mature or very baby, but our little Shui Shui is the perfect child imo! She takes things at face value and is ignorant of the evils in the world. Her big focus is on her task and that is to keep her gege healthy and safe!

I'll probably get diabetes by the time I finish this novel because it's so full of sweetness between MC and ML!

If you needed a wholesome read and a positive MC, this novel is probably it for you ^^
