I'll say this again and again and again, this is easily one of the best BL ever despite the plot being so understated and ordinary. The way the author depicts the naivety, impulsiveness and playfulness of youth their age is so endearing and wonderful. I love how there are little snippets of Jian Yi's harrowing past thrown in here and there in small smatterings—it's a really gradual introduction of depth to a seemingly happy-go-lucky and blasé person such as Jian Yi, and the author definitely leaves the readers wondering.
At first glance, or should I say, a long glance, this comic may seem to be nothing more than pure fluff, crack, and unreciprocated pining skillfully portrayed as something hilarious with a crude sense of humor unique to Old Xian. But towards the later chapters, heavier elements are introduced—we start to more of Jian Yi's and Zheng Xi's past, followed by the extent and development of their friendship over the years. When you see Jian Yi taking liberties with Zheng Xi, and the latter always reacting violently but tolerating it anyway, it really warms your heart to know that their friendship is a really solid one, and the fact that it started from childhood is just all the more adorable.
This will start off as a casual read for most people, but as uou read on, you'll start to fall in love with the different dynamics between the characters and you start to really, really root for Jian Yi, who is so precious I think we need to start a protection squad.
BUT THEN CHAPTER 142 AND 143 CAME AND I'M NOW BEYOND BROKEN UNTIL OLD XIAN DECIDES TO FIX ME WITH SOME FLUFF AND BANTER
