One of my New Favorite comment/topic on here!! (≧∀≦) I loved your analogy about the stomach knots versus upset stomach; excitement v.s "shady leftovers", Lol!
And it's sooooo true how much this story is Moving lately! ヾ(☆▽☆)"/ How Blessed we are to have this kind of Progress GOING ON!(/TДT)/
The fact that the author, OldXian, even thought to include them "conspiring together about their crushes" was such a guilty pleasure of mine since the time when all the 4 friends hungout at He Tian's place for the 1st time and He Tian figured out Jian Yi's crush on Zhan Xixi right away. Ahhhh, it's icing on the cake for me. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Literal stomach tied in knots, and it's not the shady leftovers I ate, it's at the fucking anticipation that this story is MOVING. Lord, it is fucking MOVING. AND WHEN THEY CONSPIRED TOGETHER ABOUT THEIR CRUSHES (HE TIAN AND JIAN YI) I FUCKING DIED.
