HI OMG THOUGHTS ON THE NEW CHAP??? im feeling so many things!!!! mo is IN LOVE I REPEAT MO IN LOVE!!!
ox writing zhanyi: let me make them happy
ox writing tianshan: hmmm let me make them CRY
#🥪
kdhskhskshsj Old Xian is RIGHT though, making them cry is a fantastic choice. Both He Tian and Mo are hurting, over things they cannot fix, and they don't know what to do about it. Like the dumbases are, they just bottle it all up.
Bottling it all up hurts.
He Tian knows these are the last days of his youth, of his relationship with Mo as it is. He knows that once he goes, things will never be the same again. He Tian's time is running out. He is in pain about everything that he and Mo could be if they had enough time. These days He Tian is one papercut away from completely breaking down (and with reason).
And Mo, jesus. Mo has been bottling up since his father went to jail, since his family lost the restaurant and started struggling with money since the other kids started picking on him, since She Li might have killed a man that Mo tried to help, since Mo was publicly hurt by She Li, more than once, and Mo felt alone and decided he couldn't let anyone in. Mo is one bottled up mess.
They are both in need of a cry.
I mean, look at them.
They need to cry!! Let them!!
They have each other for comfort though, that much is clear. They're hurting but they're not alone.
One thing strikes me about the lastest chapter and about Old Xian's other recent pieces: Mo is so soft with He Tian.
Mo is really soft with him. For real. When he's scared he treats He Tian with such care. For such an emotionally closed off character like Mo, that's monumental.
Mo lets He Tian use him for comfort. Every time Mo lets He Tian touch him like this, Mo is expressing something very loudly.
Mo's head must be a confused mess with everything he's experiencing these days. I can't imagine just how much. Mo has a lot to figure out. But he seems to somehow associate He Tian with safe harbor, and that is beautiful to watch.
TL;DR: Life isn't easy for Mo, it sure as fuck isn't easy for He Tian, but they have each other to count on, at least for a little while longer. Old Xian is brilliant at showing that. Let them cry a little, they need it.
omg now that you mention xixi and mo becoming best friends i actually have this head canon of like xixi coming to mo’s house one day bcoz he feels lonely and they play video games together n talk 😢🥺
exactly!!! i feel like they would have a comfortable silence around eachother when they are hanging out cuz their still awkward and stuff- but yea 😩😩😩
i also like to imagine that mo would randomly apologize about hitting him in the head with the rock when they get close enough 🧘♀️🧘♀️
When do you think both xixi and mo would realize their feelings?
assuming you mean towards jian yi and he tian, i doubt either of them will confess before the flashback finishes. neither seem to fully acknowledge their true feelings towards yi and tian so having them both realize and confess would be a full out miracle.
id say they fully realize their feelings when they disappear, and then they understand how much they meant to them. 🧎
