I'm re-reading 'the backyard is full of bones' for Science and got to 'What, did they think his blindness was contagious? He could certainly make it so.' and I laughed so hard I dropped my tablet on my face. Just felt like sharing that. 😆
Thank you for sharing this because it pleases me very much.
well! he can! if people are going to be weird and rude about Xiao Xingchen's blindness then maybe they should get to have the experience themselves. it's only fair.
one of my favorite things about writing Xue Yang, particularly at a kind of midpoint of navigating his Xiao Xingchen feelings, is the way he will get really offended about other people looking down on Xiao Xingchen or seeing him as somehow less while simultaneously constantly being like "he's such a sucker oh my god what an idiot can't believe he's even still alive what a naive moron lmao"
