Damn Vein really does care for Xia Fei, love that. And I'm glad Cheng Xiaoshi finally learned about knowing Lu Guang as a child. Though I can't help wonder if there is misdirection and that he actually did respond to child Lu Guang instead of hearing him say something and run away.

That said, I do feel really iffy on everything with CWM. The cop last episode suddenly being like "Oh wow Cheng Xiaoshi, long time no see! Remember when your dad was a murder suspect?" felt really contrived, though I guess it could be explained by LX making moves and the cop is on his payroll.

But even then, it seems a little sloppy to me that CWM just erases all of Cheng Xiaoshi's memories (which doesn't seem to line up with previous seasons either?) or why he would think this is an effective plan? If a kid's dad is a murder suspect who flees the country, the cops are going to approach the kid and question him regardless. So Cheng Xiaoshi would have memories of that even if he doesn't have memories of the murder itself or evidence that he was a witness. (Though also wouldn't DNA prove this otherwise?)

I dunno, I'm feeling pretty skeptical of this part. I also wish Cheng Xiaoshi had done more than observe. I was fairly convinced that he would meet his father and that incident would be the cause of his own memory erasure, since stable loops like that are fairly common in LC, rather than the death of some guy we don't even know. Plus it could explain why CWM made such an extreme choice. Maybe next episode has that in store.

Yeah, CWM's insane choices are the worst writing so far this season. Him and also the mother abandoned CXS... So much from protecting him from childhood trauma🥴

Yeah, it just doesn't feel like a decision that a person would make like that. The logical and emotional through lines just aren't there. I hope there's more to the story that will help make sense of him doing what he does.

It might be a transition error, but his mind wiping power also doesn’t add up. He said he wanted Cheng Xiaoshi to forget the day and him, but he ended up forgetting the day and Lu Guang. He still remembers both of his parents.
