Love the excerpts you chose ❤

Thanks! So much happens in chapter 13, it was hard to choose! And I nearly quoted the entire coming-out scene, lol. :D

These two are so perfect for each other. Stalker4stalker ❤

Haha, right? Zhao "I will nag you into a relationship and have you lured away so I can rifle through your underwear and move you into my flat" Yunlan pulls up short when he encounters Shen "I have stalked you across lifetimes and built you a shrine" Wei. :DDDD

I love this so much. Zhao Yunlan bringing his boyfriend to see his mom. Coming out to her, and her realistic reaction.

Yes, I liked it a lot, too. I really empathised with his nervousness (been there!), and he's so eloquent about his feelings, aww. (The one thing I do question is the wisdom of bringing Shen Wei along for the coming out. I mean, that's a lot of pressure to put on your new partner! But it's them, so of course he did, and it worked out fine in the end.) And I thought his mother's reaction showed a lot of concern for him, along with the inevitable unease given how conservative their society seems to be.

I do question the wisdom of mentioning “cajoling and lying” though XD

Heh, she could probably guess that even if he didn't say, don't you think?

Reminds me of that meme.

HEEEE! That meme is perfect. :DDD
