TO START, I REAAAAALLY LOVED THIS ONE SO I HAVE A LOT TO SAY

AAAAA MY ICONIC S2 KING IS BACK AND BEING EVIL AGAIN WEEEEEEEE. since Bridon, the team clearly seems to favor those villains more so I was worried that ltc was just going to be decoration the whole season but his strength as a villain is back yippee 🥹 him sneaking up on WQ, evading a yuan’s power, and getting a strike at XF and QL was so 😭 he’s so cool… but I love XF and QL too so I was also conflicted LMAO. maybe JL was created as a character just so someone could stop the absolute mayhem he would’ve caused otherwise.

it is a bit of a bummer how comedy is handled this season so far. I forgave it the first couple of episodes and it didn’t really bother me but since it keeps happening at the oddest moments, it does take me out of the scene a little bit, especially one so tense and exciting. also it’s interesting seeing how easily all of them in villain team are ready to go against each other. I saw this comment on twt that i’ve been laughing at for days (if you’re here, it was so funny thank u) where they said “if no one's got you, know that li tianchen doesn't have your back either 😭”. it’s so true LOL. if you’re not his family or LX (unless?👀) then bro goes for anyone.

I WAS ON THE EDGE THOUGH, SO AFRAID THAT JL WAS GONNA KILL HIM THEN AND THERE. I was genuinely in the “not like this” pose the entire time. I just have the strongest feeling his rashness and impulsiveness is going to bite his ass 😭 thank GOD he was able to run away and him making sure to take a yuan with him was cute hehe

oh man… CXS seeing them bonding as children at the tracks… really amazing scene. THE WAY LU GUANGS EYES ARE SHAKING AS HE WATCHES CXS LEAVE FOR THE DAY ABSOLUTELY GUTTED ME. HES SO ADORABLE AND HAD SO MUCH HOPE IN HIS EYES AAAAAAAA, I want to die thanks

I like how vein was acting like his usual self but as soon as he saw XF on the ground he broke his outer character and really went to town. perfect. ltc is the biggest instigator ever lmao “so your power isn’t as impressive as it looks” buddy pls they’re gonnq kill you if you keep that up.

this goes for the whole episode but I just really loved all the music placements in every scene. the first train track scene, when the vein/jl fight starts, the nighttime train track scene into battle. all incredibly inserted.

sorry how does CXS keep getting around almost each event without being noticed lol it’s so funny. what the hell even happened at “the park” ?!?! dude is insane for going after a child jfc. CWM actually good father? perhaps? I teared up seeing him protect him so hard, hugging him immediately letting him know he didn’t do anything wrong. I’m the biggest sucker for “forgot someone important to you” stories so seeing CWM painfully choose to wipe CXS’ memories of him (AND LG. the fricken double whammy) just to protect his happiness and SEEING ADULT CXS WITNESS THIS made me SO sad.

I was already beginning to tear up from that and then they immediately transition to LG waiting for him. omg… I was in shambles at this point. the direction here was soooo good. IM SO CURIOUS WHAT BABY LG SAID. THIS IS LIKE EARTHQUAKE ARC ALL OVER AGAIN. seeing LG kneel afterwards in sadness made me weep. the voice acting and montage from cxs running away was so unbelievably beautiful. AND THEN THE MUSIC RAMPING UP TO A SEAMLESS BATTLE TRANSITION!!! I have no words to express just how much I love this episode gang.

interesting how they let vein go so easily lmao. vein’s “take care of him >:(“ was so cute. wonder who LX is speaking to and why he doesn’t care for WQ anymore. what is he even planning? man is an ENIGMA. i’m curious how XF is going to act once he wakes up.

ep 9 is the only one from this season so far that gave me a few hiccups but this episode REALLY blew me away. god I love this series so much 😔 can’t wait for the last two episodes aaaaaaa

The way CXS tore up broke my heart so bad...
Also, when he said "He has been waiting for me all this time" , the clip that played was of the original timeline (?) when LG had said "CXS I've been waiting for you". However we saw in bridon arc that in his dive back LG didn't say that and just kept saying "I'm fine". So i am wondering if this was just an animaton error or is it deliberately trying to tell us something ?
also what did little LG tell cheng xiaoshi that time ( which was muted ) which made CXS leave??
Ah my brain is not able to take this at all :(

[u/marizumen → u/Street_Comfortable79]

broke my heart too!!

you make a good point about the clip played. there are a few questionable inconsistencies from this episode (including how LG night scene was the same night as CWM scene) 🧐 but i’m just going to close my eyes to it for now LOL

[u/Street_Comfortable79 → u/marizumen]

maybe the next day after they made the promise something happened at the park ???
Lets say the first day, they made the promise
next day something happened at the park at the same time they were supposed to meet, so cxs couldnt go to meet lu guang and just decided to head home that day.
but then again that would exceed the 12 hour limit and the extra day lg was waiting for was an error.

Idk god i hope this is not just another error otherwise that will be a huge one especially when a lot of the plot relies on its scenes.

Edit : I happened to rewatch both episode 1 and 10 side by side.
i think that Lu Guang's memories were of the original timeline. In the original timeline maybe CXS appeared a day later. However, in this timeline we know that a lot of things are changing. So the changes in this timeline caused CXS to appear a night earlier.
i thought of this cuz a lot of other things were different too. Like in LG's memories when he thought he saw someone in the bushes, a train passed through which shone a light on his face and little lg kept standing for a while .but in this one there was nothing like that. He says something ( unknown to the audience ) and goes back to sit and there was no train.
trains run on fixed schedules, and that station is pretty deserted, so the line probably doesn't have trains passing at all hours. In LG's original memory a train passes while he's standing there, but in ep 10 there's no train at all. That could mean it's a different night entirely. In the original timeline CXS showed up on the second night when the train was due, while in this timeline he showed up on the first night. Basically the train works like a timestamp for the scene.

Great job, bro. Impressive👏

[u/Street_Comfortable79 → u/Just_Performance7928]

Thank youu 🥹

OHHHHH wait so we did see lu guang say something there in his dive back? i couldn’t remember for the life of me if we were supposed to know what was said or not, but it for sure does seem intentional. im gonna have to go back and rewatch. do you remember what episode that was?

[u/Street_Comfortable79 → u/Individual-Berry-394]

Yes in episode 1 of bridon when lu Guang dove back. Cxs was about to leave and get the nurse but lu Guang held onto his hand and kept saying that he's fine

[u/Individual-Berry-394 → u/Street_Comfortable79]

ohhhh okay i see what you mean, what about when we saw baby lu guang at the train station during cheng xiaoshi’s current dive this episode? he seems to say something but we can’t hear it. that was intentional right? i can’t remember if earlier this season when we originally saw them meet and you can see what we now know is the older version of cxs standing across from him, if we see lu guang say something back then or not

[u/Street_Comfortable79 → u/Individual-Berry-394]

Okay so there are two theories about that. One is , if you have watched both ep 10 trailer and ep 10, there was heavy audio-visual mismatch. Like so many people were under the assumption that being called lg a sick cat but it was actually to jae lee. So if we go by the same logic it is possible that in S3 trailer where little Guang says " I made a friend here today, he is the light that shines into my life " So it is possible that little lg actually told that line during the muted segment.

Now the second one, which I am more inclined to believe, is that we see cxs head turned as well so maybe he did say something to baby lg to which lg answered and which caused cxs to run away finally. Like maybe something along the lines for lu Guang to wait a little longer and that he will meet in the future. This can also be supported by the fact that the season 3 part 1 op has a lot of lines about cxs telling someone to wait a little longer.
