I feel like this is the first time where I was able to empathize with most, if not all, of the characters. I even cried during the scene where the aunt was criticizing YuYang for being gay, though I'm not gay I can relate to this kind of experience. And the argument between his parents in the car? Experienced that, and reading that chapter brought up some memories. I even became jealous of YuYang because his parents accepted him and in a way, apologized.
And about HuanWen, I feel like he played the role of matchmaker, supporting his friends even though he likes the friend or the one pursuing. This is like the embodiment of putting others first, no amount of selfishness can be found in him. I definitely relate to the match maker aspect of this, and let me tell you I was tearing up at some parts.
Nowadays all the stories you read are toxic and rapey and it's hard to find a gem that's just like this. Beautiful writing, beautiful characters, beautiful interactions and beautiful development. This is one of the stories that I would love to read fresh over and over again.
