The candy. It's what I've been saying that maybe, if Xue Yang had met XXC sooner, like in his adolescent years, he wouldn't have turned out like that. Or if only he met anyone who was able to take him in and made him feel genuine kindness . Like in svsss, where SQQ decided to be kind to LBH, they weren't able to avoid him becoming evil but at least he wasn't someone who killed everyone and was obediently listening to SQQ most of the time

I remember seeing a comment under the translation of the novel after I was done reading the Yi City arc back then. The person worded out what I actually felt when I read the arc— that I felt anger and sadness towards Xue Yang for what he did, but that I also had thought that maybe Xue Yang wouldn't have ended up like that if only he had met Xiao Xingchen sooner.
Seriously, I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from crying again when this arc ends in the manhua. THE FEELS MAN THE FEEELS
ight he ain't dead, right? Imma fckn cry if he does
