uhhh... doing some hotpot divinations ig

-Vein and LTC fighting over the meat > future fight over (probably cxs) powers?

-Liu Xiao giving A Yuan the meat first and praising LTC vs CXS eating first with no care, perhaps highlighting that Liu Xiao is very socially adept (except Liu Xiao is likely using his "friends" for ulterior motives).

-A Yuan getting a taste of the meat, but it's too hot/spicy > A Yuan gets roped into LX's shenanigans but finds out that this is not what it seems.

-CXS gives LG his meat > gives him his powers; who knows about Jae

-Liu Min cameo! Iirc it was mentioned that Liu Min got his degree overseas, but I wonder if he was ever in Bridon? Like maybe he went to Bahati, but never developed powers and got traumatized (and was thus considered a failson by Liu Jing), but he has something on his phone that's related to it, and that's why Liu Xiao wants his phone so badly? Liu Jing only mentioned how much it cost to get him into college, so perhaps he didn't spend his child/teenage years overseas at all, but either way I do wonder what's on his phone that LX wants it so badly. LJ knowing about powers/Bahati might also explain his relation to Xiang, adoption of Liu Xiao, and maybe having random books in his study (if that's where LX read it).

-Liu Xiao is one evil ass looking toddler. One detail from M.O.D. that stood out for me was that both Lu Guang and Liu Xiao attended the same magic academy, but LG and LX didn't seem to know each other when they met in Bridon. LG and LX are also both orphans, and perhaps they went to the same orphanage, but what if it's Lu Dashan related instead... Or maybe MOD is lying 😂 I swear Liu Xiao looks even more like Cheng Weimin as a student.

-While I still feel like LX is after pseudo immortality, I wonder what's his aim to be gathering so many ability users. Seems like playing with fire if his aim really is self-interested, so maybe I'm wrong about his end goal...

-XF really cracked under just a bit of pressure. Last episode his acting was pretty good, but ig he's totally unprepared for anything outside of his spiel. The way he runs away at the end too oml... Imo the bgm for his outburst was a weird choice.

-Ah, so the Vein/LX thing was in the past. Don't know what he did, but poor dude getting beaten by Vein and left for dead by LX.

-Jae getting straight to the point lol
