Ok, this girl here forgot that these chapters portrayed the past and that the intro said that jian yi dissapeared before high school.
I guess it has to do with his mom's misterious past, the white haired guy (hot af, if I may say so) and He Tian's brother.
Now please excuse me while I go cry in a corner.
I am much older than you all and when I read they were middle schoolers I felt ill. They don't look or act like middle schoolers. I can't ship middle schoolers with each other, that's kind of not cool with me, they're too young. I'm not cool with this. And Jian Yi looks totally cool with his man bun and lanky coolness, that's not a middle school chill, it doesn't feel right.
This can't be true, I thought they were in their last year of high school, so 18yo or so. I feel like a damn pervert now, middle schoolers...T_T
I'm 24yo, I never read yaoi with characters that don't seem to be at least 18yo.
And damn cliffhangers.
