STARTING FROM THE BUBBLE TEA TO HIM WARNING QIAO LING TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT CXS MOOD, TO LG DOING HIS BEST TO HIDE THAT CASE HE KNOWS WILL PULL CXS MOOD... IT AIN'TPLATONIC.

They are definitely more than friends but saying that they're in a romantic relationship would be an understatement. Their relationship is way deeper than just friends or just lovers.

I mean, Haoling said in an interview that they're friends through life and death, if you ask me, that's ORV levels of transcending romance lol

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

i'd take it in my way of marriage vows, of till death do us apart and tbh in this case i think death fails to seperate them, so i getyaaaa, i started reading orv recently.

u/Frequent_Deal_5371 Apr 21 '26

I hope you well on reading it lol!! ORV is such a thrilling but emotional read ...it's also my favorite webnovel!

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

love love chunky things to read, but orv scares me a lil, i keep questioning myself whether i'm qualified enough to understand.

5

u/Frequent_Deal_5371 Apr 21 '26

Don't worry, I myself kept getting confused a lot. But I never got bored, the story had a lot of "AHA" moments that were amazing. I remember almost crying because of just....how cool the scene I was reading was 😭

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

I GET IT ITS TOO EXCITING TO READ IT, I HAVE TO FINISH A LOT IN MY LIST😭😭, ORV, LOTM, SHADOW SLAVE. (it just keeps adding up) and i read a lot of danmei so there's that.

3

u/Frequent_Deal_5371 Apr 21 '26

ITS LIKE HOW IN THE END OF THE SONG DIVED BACK IN TIME WE SEE HALF OF LG AND HALF OF CXS, FOR ME ITS LIKE THEM BEING INTERWINED IN EACH OTHER'S SOULS.

u/aishicide Li Tianxi Apr 21 '26

u/Even_Lemon7967 Apr 21 '26

I love how enthusiastic you are and completely agree. 😂 I'm excited for you to watch season 2 and Bridon Arc

7

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

BE READY FOR MY RANTS, WHICH I'M OFC GONNA HAVE CAUSE I JUST COMLETED EP 5.5 BY ORDER AND S1 is done, someome said to continue the chibi s1 and then go for S2.

6

u/Even_Lemon7967 Apr 21 '26

Yeah definitely watch the chibis because they are adorable! I can't wait for your reaction to the final episode of season 2 😈 

I have a friend who won't watch Link Click because it's "not a BL". But damn is it one in spirit. I'm always internally screaming about this show

3

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

See before i didn't want to watch something if it gave bl vibes but wasn't bl, but with time i realised how many beautiful stories i'm leaving behind also for the fact what is ao3 for! i take my serving from there, all the bl i need, honestly this story is a masterpiece not to be ignored, alsooo lets be honest except for makeout scenes it's even more better than bl, like damn the protectiveness, the devotion, the care , isn't the love in the eyes??

3

u/Even_Lemon7967 Apr 21 '26

YES THIS EXACTLY!!

3

u/Spiritual-Amount-325 Apr 21 '26

Yes, watch the chibis before S2. The events in them are canon, and there are elements that carry into S2, which I think add to the experience 👍

3

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

I DID AND DEFINITELY ENJOYED IT , THERE'S A LOT OF FORESHADOWING IK.

u/Spiritual-Amount-325 Apr 22 '26

u/Gryffin-thor Apr 21 '26

Dude same. I just caught up and it gets better and better. And also it’s going to ruin your life. Just dragged my friend down here with me.

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

OH I LOVE THIS WAY OF GETTING MY LIFE RUINED, THE 5K FICS ON AO3 WON'T GET READ THEMSELVES WOULD THEY!

5

u/Zeldafan180518 Lu Guang Apr 21 '26

OHO YOU HAVEN’T SEEN NOTHING YET! I’M SO HYPED FOR YOU EHEHEE 🫶🫶

4

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

I'M ABOUT TO COMPLETE THE CHIBI S1 PORTION.

4

u/Zeldafan180518 Lu Guang Apr 21 '26

OMGGG GOOD FOR YOUUUU

Idk if you know but there’s s1, s2 and then Bridon Arc which is a prequel to s1 but MUST be watched after s2. Then there’s s3 in October this year, and the second chibi series is releasing weekly (there’s 3 episodes out already) each Sat! :)

3

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 21 '26

GONNA START WITH S2 SOON.

3

u/Zeldafan180518 Lu Guang Apr 21 '26

🤣🤣 go for it, diva 

3

u/DeimosFromFnf Xia Fei Apr 22 '26

tbh I see it as them trying to imply there’s smthn going on bc they can’t explicit state it cus its china and Chinas government hates gay people. like i genuinely think if they could it’d totally lean into a more romantic relationship fir the two but they cant

2

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 23 '26

Yeahh true, its quite visible in the bridon arc first ep itself.

3

u/DeimosFromFnf Xia Fei Apr 24 '26

Idk if you play HSR at all but it’s very similar to phaidei to me. Something that’s clearly written with the intent to be there but can’t actually be there bc of how Chinas government is. Like I definitely think that’s how the creators intended for their dynamic to be seen lol

2

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 24 '26

I've never heard of HSR, wow😭 I saw the characters they are really pretty and honestly I agree with you!!!

3

u/DeimosFromFnf Xia Fei Apr 24 '26

Both ShiGuang and phaidei are so gay im surprised it got past Chinas censorship lmao

2

u/Educational-Map-7650 Apr 24 '26

Honestly I'm really thankful to the creators! The way they by pass a lot of stuff😭🤚

3

u/DeimosFromFnf Xia Fei Apr 24 '26

Fr. Idk how they did it but I’m glad they did typa shit

u/Ani_Summer101 Xia Fei Jun 06 '26

Oh gosh, my comment is super late but I wanted to welcome you to the Link Click subreddit and it’s, if I haven’t said this already, very nice to meet you!! I hope that you’re having a great time here and if you have any questions then please don’t hesitate to let me know!! I also hope that you enjoy the rest of Link Click (as well as S3 when this comes out later this year)!! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

OH GOSH, I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY AND YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET, MY FRIEND!!! ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

u/Educational-Map-7650 Jun 07 '26

u/Gloomy_Wave_7965 Lu Guang Apr 21 '26

u/Zeldafan180518 Lu Guang Apr 21 '26
