For those who don't know, I am reading TGCF for the first time and sharing my thoughts!
If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.
Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag Bloopitynoot reads TGCF. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read BUT if you followed along with my SVSSS read, the rules and vibe are the same.
The air conditioner is working overtime and yet, I am still here craving that hot beverage.
With today's chapter I have a dirty chai with milk and sugar.
Let's go chapter 137!!!
This is so painful. San Lang is really going to make him say they slept together while Xie Lian is in crisis thinking he was assaulted. p216
Okay but it is kind of cute that Hua Cheng's people took up a custom of tying red strings to their fingers because of the their love. p217
jeeze. Seems like the entire city is in on this plot though (they are not at all). p219
My heart! "He must accompany his beloved, who has apparently fallen unwell recently." p220
The reverse gege!!! p221
"San Lang-gege, shall we go to your house now? Or later?" god. the way this 100% unlocked something in Hua Cheng. Feral as hell. p222
I wonder how many times Xie Lian has had encounters in the bath throughout these books. Add this one with e-ming and Hua Cheng to the counter! p223
oh okay. Something did this to Xie Lian, it wasn't a cnc situation with Hua Cheng doing spells or some shit. p227
This is going to be a disaster. Xie Lian has no power or memory and he's leaving to go on a sneaky solo mission p227
Gender excellence, "What's with that pretty boy?! He looks so gentle, so how is he such a brute?!" 229
oh no. The village has little Xie Lian statues of the scrap collector and Xie Lian is so confused. p231
Poor buddy just found out about his whole life from random people. p233
I weep! "In my heart, you are the only god" p238
That "...we meet again" stirred my emotions. What the fuck, I'm feeling way to much about it. p239
Okay, but good for Xie Lian for calling Hua Cheng out on his bullshit. He really did make some bad calls during those couple days. p241
Amnesia plot- Check.
I am low key glad to be out of this set of extras.
It is cute that their love is eternal and soul deep, but my god, in most amnesia plotlines that center around undying love- it get's icky. This was a bit ick for me.
