Description
Back in high school, the second bravest thing Zhou Anran ever did was, on a day when Chen Luobai looked upset, she secretly placed two lemonsoda candies on his desk. At that time, he was the proud son of heaven sought by everyone. She was just an ordinary classmate whose name he couldn’t even remember. Later, they met again in university. Zhou Anran who had to fight for her life to get into the top university, remained as inconspicuous as ever in a sea of academic prodigies, while Chen Luobai instantly became the centre of attention the moment he entered the school. Zhou Anran thought they would never cross paths again. But, one time in an elective course, Chen Luobai placed two pieces of the familiar lemonsoda candies on her desk. “Have you tried this candy?”He seemed to ask casually. Zhou Anran’s heart jumped, she lowered her head, not answering the question. Chen Luobai continued, “I came to know this candy because someone in high school secretly left two pieces on my desk before. While everyone else was stuffing love letters into my desk, that person just left two candies, but—” He paused. Zhou Anran couldn’t help but to tilt her head to look at him, at once, her gaze was met with the boy’s smiling and focused eyes that were staring back at her, as if he was trying to convey something. “It’s pretty sweet.” The same words he would later say on the night he kissed her for the first time. ——All that you wish for will one day come true.

My Thoughts on Lemon Soda Candy
I dove into "Lemon Soda Candy" expecting a sugary-sweet romance, and for the most part, that's exactly what I got. It's the kind of story that leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling, perfect for when you need a break from heavier reads.
First Impressions
The premise is simple: a shy, introverted girl harbors a secret crush on the popular school idol. It's a tale as old as time, but the author manages to give it a fresh coat of paint. The initial chapters focus on the female lead's inner world, her pining, and her quiet acts of affection that often go unnoticed. This slow-burn approach definitely requires patience, but it allows you to deeply connect with her character.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is the character development, especially the female lead's. She's not just a passive wallflower; she's caring, warm-hearted, and actively tries to improve herself. I appreciated that she had her own passions and didn't simply revolve around the male lead. The male lead himself is a refreshing change from the typical overbearing CEO types. He's considerate, respects the female lead's boundaries, and pursues her in a way that feels genuine and sweet. The progression of their relationship, from the "lemon" of unrequited love to the "soda" of his pursuit and finally the "candy" of their romance, is cleverly executed. The friendships are also a highlight, creating a supportive and wholesome atmosphere.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the slow burn, I can see how some might find it too slow. The male lead, while likeable, could come across as a bit one-dimensional early on. While the story is generally low on drama, some found certain moments cringeworthy.
