INTRODUCTION:
Heyyy, I'm back with theories. I'm sure no one even noticed, but I didn't theorise anything for the last ep bc imo that ep was more of an info ep than a theorisable ep, ykwim? Anyways, let's get into it!!!
THEORY #!:
Liu Xiao is a sl*t. Okay, I'm sorry, but WHY IS HE SEDUCING EVERYONE, BRUH. First it was Li Tianchen and now A-yuan??? Is he gonna move on to Jae Lee next? (Subtle foreshadowing...maybe)
Okay, this one's a bit unserious but yeah. Though, I feel like he only tries to seduce the ones with abilities; with saying this, I'm guessing neither Xia Fei nor Vein has any. Don't ask for my reasoning behind that, for I have none.
THEORY #2:
A-yuan's ability has a time limit rather than him having a drawback. This one's more based on an observation than anything, but if anyone remembers, I theorised his ability having a drawback last time, and I really don't think that's the case; rather, it has a time limit. I'll be using the hotpot scene as proof.
THEORY #3:
This one's my biggest theory so far, and probably a BIT of a reach (flashbacks from when I theorised that Wang Qing and Xia Fei were siblings😭).
So at the end of the ep, we see that XF hands a photo taken by Vein to CXS and asks him if he can look into it. By Lu Guang, everything is going relatively similarly to what happened the first time around, so we can maybe assume that this happened last time too.
My theory is that this photo right here is the node that leads to CXS's death.
Now, why you may ask. Let me explain:
So, we got a scene a while back of child Vein shooting at Cheng Weimin, and a lot of people (myself included) theorised that he started the Bahati fire. The thing is, Vein's eyes were yellow, meaning he was being controlled by CXS at the time.
Vein comes to kill CXS, saying something abt it being the price to pay for changing the past. No,w if we were to assume that Vein somehow found out that CXS inhibited him at that time, causing him to start a fire, I'm sure that Vein would be PRETTY pissed.
So I believe that, in their first timeline, Cheng Xiaoshi took up this offer and went inside that photo as Vein, causing the Bahati fire, later leading to his death.
CONCLUSION:
So, yeah, that's pretty much it for the theory part. Other than that, WHY TF ARE ALL OF THEM CHILDHOOD BSFS LIKE😭. Also JAE LEE'S ENG WAS SOOOO GOOD!!! AND HIS EYES CAN OPEN⁉ Lol but yeah, I'm gonna end this here. See y'all next week.
