Hi there! *waves* :D

Yeah, I understood the reason for the scolding, it was the content I was confused about. Because he can't exactly say, "You useless kid, making me uncomfortable by bringing your scary lover here to loom discomfitingly in the background, what were you thinking?!" ... or maybe he can. Idk. Ugh, this is horrible.

At least with ZXC in the drama, although I disagree wildly with all his parenting decisions, I can see where he's coming from. It's a kind of "spare the rod, spoil the child" mentality, and a disagreement about the best way to protect Haixing. With novel!dad Zhao, I have no idea what he hopes to achieve except venting. *wishes Shen Wei would smite him*

Well, he also does do that in the novel (plonking down on the random rock on Kunlun mountain or on top of the ladder in the library)

Oh, true. Good point. :D *uses icon of sprawling*

I think he's masking the taste of blood with herbs, and they're not necessary for any other reason.

This whole "elaborate subterfuge so I can feed you something you would never consent to if you knew" thing is hitting my DNWs pretty hard, ngl.

and 95% extremely enthusiastically looking forward to finding out the context of that. :D :D

LOLOLOL!! :D

I love the subtlety of the changes between yao cultivation and yashou biology. :D

Yes, it's so good. Great worldbuilding! :D

he can't just leave his own apartment and leave behind someone who doesn't actually live there. :P

See my other comment elsewhere. It's pretty easy to do here. (Or you can just give someone a key and tell them to leave it in the letterbox or something. It's not like ZYL doesn't trust SW about stuff like that.)

Maybe Daqing actually likes picking at the fish until only the bones are left. xD

Haha, a little game he plays with himself. :D

but also since even Zhao Yunlan had no idea that DQ could shift, maybe he actually was only able to do it on Kunlun Mountain.

Oh good point. I didn't think of that.

Omg, I never even thought that Shen Wei could be thinking this way, but it makes so much sense!

Yeah, I think that's why he goes down to the Seal or the Place of Disrespect or wherever he goes. He thinks they both believe he belongs there. :-((((( (Time for a rescue!)
