ENOUGHH :SOB:
In which chapter the present timeline started? And the flashbacks? Didn't the story started with them being highschoolers?
I wanna know to
the present timeline was established at the very beginning of the story when jian yi returned. but this is loose in the canon as the plot didn’t have the depth the story does now especially as with the recent chapters old xian has subtlety changed a lot since those first chapters. we have seen glimpses of the present timeline in the specials and official art. the flashback is throughout their second to last year of high school and and up until chapter 445 (excluding special episodes ) the story was in the past. but now we are in the present timeline from chapter 446 onwards.
Okok thank youuuuu（/TДT)/
he tian has clearly left in chapter 445 and it is presumably the last chapter in the flashback. we are now out of the flashback and in the present timeline with them as adults. (which the christmas specials, other specials and majority of the official art exist in) when the story started it was in the present timeline before the flashback and it suggested they were college students but now years later its very likely old xian has decided for them to already have graduated as they are pursuing careers and are now likely 22+….so he tian has likely been gone for 5 years.
