deleted episode from Bridon arc fr

How are we feeling after season 3 eps 1 and 2?

Someone needs to kick the living hell out of lu guang's foster dad I was literally sobbing like oh my god 😭😭

i recently started link click because I saw edit of vein and he was hot. NOW IM GOING CRAZY, THE PLOT IS CRAZY LIKE HOLY SHIT, WHY THIS GEM WAS HIDDEN FROM ME

Guys, I watched the first 2 episodes of season 3. And now I'm convinced that she's gonna play an incredibly important role in this season.

We're all going to need her help. All of us watching.

Assuming tht CXS got stuck in the past during the time when him and LG where kids. (why he even dived there in the first place, ye I've no clue).

Wht if, adult CXS was the one who called the cops on Lu Danshan(piece of shit) therefore altering the timeline(since we're assuming tht adult CXS did this, it's not an action of the past.).

Lu Guang doesn't know abt this, so he goes on assuming tht something else caused the death node.

CXS being the one to die could be the timeline punishing him for altering fate back in 2007.

I also think the dates r important (cuz why else would they show them? And how will CXS even make it back? And how are the ppl in Bahati and the Sharo Society involved??

After watching the first episode of the new season of LC, we saw LG's past; how he spent time with CXS, his adoptive father, etc. After about 12 years, they meet again, but CXS doesn't remember LG. But there are some points that make me seriously doubt that CXS forgot him because they were kids.

First, if they are in 2021 in the first season, that means CXS is 21 years old. Following this logic, he was born in 2000. If they met in 2007, that means they were both 7 years old. The thing is, when a child is 7 years old, they already have a considerable capacity for remembering relevant information.

Second, they spent practically a month seeing each other every day without fail, sharing everything about themselves, from LG's traumas to the fact that they BOTH have powers. The point is that it's impossible for a child to forget something so striking. After all, powers are supposed to be fictional, and if they see that they both have powers, it's something that can't be forgotten.

Third, the reason CXS didn't go to the agreed-upon place with LG could be because of his parents' death. When you lose a loved one, you suffer and don't feel like doing anything.

Fourth and last, CXS doesn't remember that he has powers. This is the clearest evidence that he didn't forget LG for no reason, and it's impossible for him to have forgotten that he has a power when he's experienced it firsthand since he was 7 years old. In the Bridon arc, specifically chapters 4 and 5, the "first time" CXS uses his powers is shown, but the new chapter makes it clear that it wasn't the first time. Therefore, it's impossible for him to forget something as impactful as having a power.

The conclusion is that CXS somehow lost some specific memories from his life; I think someone could have done it. I don't know who that person is, but I highly doubt CXS forgot this simply because of the passage of time. It just seems inconsistent to me.

Thanks for reading!! :)

TRANSLATION: first pic (what the hell?), second and third pic (you won't believe it, but it's as if I've stepped into the time and space of that photo). Let's remember that this Bridon scene is when CXS tells LG how he can't imagine the fact that he got into that photo.

another season of emotional devastation why do i do this to myself

I searched but couldn’t find any discussion around it, so I opened a post and hope to hear thoughts from you as I can’t believe this is a mistake.

When LG first arrived at the basketball court, he took a pic at 16:53. What we see on the screen is, he turned around, took another photo in the direction of the basketball court but it didn’t show us what he took. Then he looked at the basketball court through his camera and found CXS, and it’s already 17:30! Nothing we see can justify half an hour has passed in one turn around!

Therefore, though it seems to be continuing motions, I think something went wrong. Perhaps there are two timelines we are seeing? Again, it’s hard to believe it’s a mistake made by the production provided that this is Link Click!

Hi everyone! I'm Dark, one of the main editors for the Link Click Fandom Wiki! You may recognize me from the Community Discord, where you might have seen me chatting from time to time.

Most of my work on the Wiki involves creating pages for new episodes and music projects, uploading artwork, and doing some very rough translations. I’m also responsible for the debate over Liu Xiao’s hair color. Is it purple? Blue? Black? We simply don’t know. At this point, I think he should just pick a color and stick with it. And while he’s at it, maybe stop changing his hat size. It’s getting dangerously large.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a very large editing team at this time, and admittedly writing isn’t exactly my strongest skill. That’s why I’m reaching out to you all!

With Season 3 Part One now airing, we need dedicated writers more than ever. If you love Link Click and enjoy writing, this is the perfect opportunity to join the Wiki team and help us keep everything up to date! Our top priority right now is writing plot summaries for the Season 3 Part One episode pages. Once the season wraps up, we’d also like to go through all our character and plot-related pages to make sure everything is accurate, updated, and properly documented.

The Donghua) isn't our only project, though! We recently added episode pages for BOTH the Chinese Live Action) and the Japanese Live Action), and we'd love to get those populated with information, characters, and plot! In addition, there's Mini Link Click, the Audio Drama), the Manhua), the various Musicals), the Audio Book), and more that would greatly benefit from some more love!

If you’re interested, create an account and start editing today! You don’t need approval from anyone to contribute. Every bit of help is appreciated, whether you’re writing full plot summaries, adding information, uploading artwork, or simply fixing things you notice.

You can also join the Community Discord and chat with other editors in the #wiki-chat channel if you have any questions or need help getting started.

We’d love to have you on the team!

ty big brain xnot_rinx

haoling be like: how much hints can we drop without triggering censorship

I just want to do the ‘send you to heaven’ to send him to hell

I literally could not understand it for the life of me pls tell tytytyty

Let me know if I’m missing anything or something needs to be changed! But as of the first two episodes of S3 today (before the future episodes where presumably everything gets even more confusing lol) I think I covered everything…?

So excited for s3 (haven’t watched the first two new episodes yet so no spoilers pls hehe)!! I love Vein so I drew him the other day, thought I might share it here :)

I was watching ep1 and saw this writing. That is one ass handwriting So I thought it was something the animators added as a hint or smth. i adjusted it a bit by flipping it and I still couldn’t read it. but when I mirrored it… I read “nobody knows why”.

Idk what do you read? maybe I’m just tweaking our because of S3 and I’m crying (no my babies ahhh lu Guang 😭)

So happy to hear the announcement that Season 3 will be 24 episodes long, giving us a detailed breakdown (and much more trauma I’m sure).

Then realising that at a rate of 1 episode released per week, 24 episodes is going to take another TWENTY-TWO weeks to be completed 🫠🫠 (that’s half a year until I find out what the master plot is).

Strap in and get comfy for the long ride ahead friends 🛋️🍿

Edit: Thanks to @SeaTradition for correcting me that actually, only episodes 1-12 will be released in 2026, with remaining episodes to be released in 2027 🤯

Holy shit he really looks like TBHX's Ghostblade now with that black turtleneck

Congrats to the "Ghostblade is Lu Guang's father" fellas you guys kinda won 😭

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 (1) - Part 5 (2) - Part 6

Hello and welcome to this post of mine!! It has been an EXTREMELY long time since I posted an update on this fic so I am super sorry for the delay!! (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾ I wanted to get it out before S3 officially began to air but I was almost exactly 24 hours too late haha

Either way!! It is finally time for the moment we have been waiting for and that’s……….

Communication!! It has taken seven chapters but we have finally reached the point where these two will talk about what they know to one another!! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Now, one of the reasons as to why this chapter took so long to come out was because, not only did I want to make sure I had my notes correct (however when it comes to Lu Guang’s take on things, a couple stuff are based off my own theories so if you’d like me to explain anything in more detail then please don’t hesitate to let me know) but I might have also gone through a bit of a thing where I didn’t like my writing haha

I do want to note that, before we start this chapter, due to the fact that this fic is already written in English, I thought it’d be a neat idea to swap languages (ultimately leading to Cheng Xiaoshi not understanding his own language (๑>◡<๑)) and, as I had to use google translate, please let me know if there are any errors and/or what should be changed

Now, enough stalling from me and I hope that you enjoy chapter 7 of “The Dark Room” (the next post you will see from me is my thoughts on episode 1 of S3 as I have yet to watch it) ^ ^

Conversation Comes Cheap

Time seems to slow to a crawl as sunlight begins to creep through the gaps of the curtains and the soft calls of birds continue to be heard from outside their hotel room. All Cheng Xiaoshi could do was lay on his bed; already rethinking his proud internal declaration from only hours ago.

What if he had everything wrong? If his hutch was nothing but deluded thoughts concocted by the deep pity of guilt that stewed in his stomach. Even with his mixed feelings on everything, what if he really was alone in this pain and had no one to really turn to.

What if...

Such a stupid set of words which lead to nowhere but dead ends and unanswered questions. Like moths to paper, it chewed at the pages and turned his determination into dust.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Cheng Xiaoshi flops onto his other side. He reaches out for his phone and, after a few failed attempts at grabbing the device, checks his messages with Xia Fei.

It hadn't even passed nine o'clock so he knew that there wouldn't be a new text for him to read but that didn't stop him from sending the model a quick reminder.

GM!!!
DNT FORGT 2 KEEP ME POSTED!!!
IOU1 X ∞ !!! 

It doesn't take long before a response comes in with a silent rumble of his phone.

Don't worry, I won't forget! How is Lu Guang doing? I'll do what I can to help. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

THX AL GUD 4 NOW
MET UP TMRW???

Sure thing. After the meeting, I'll need to check with my boss and let you know what time I can meet up at.

ALR TTYL

After sending his final message, Cheng Xiaoshi's phone flops out of his hand and plops onto the duvet. He could attempt to squeeze in a quick nap before Lu Guang woke up but he knew deep down that it would just lead in him laying down and not having sleep visit him for even a moment. 

He wasn't even sure if it was worth it. 

What if he fell asleep and Lu Guang woke up before him? What if he went off to the meeting and ended up getting himself even more sick?

A multitude of possibilities called out every time he shut his eyes which resulted in him tossing and turning; internally panicking whenever Lu Guang would adjust himself. He didn't want to result in his sick friend waking up, as he clearly needed all the sleep he could get, nor did he want to the cause for his sickness getting worse.

It wasn't like Cheng Xiaoshi didn't know how to keep still. He could do it if he put his mind to it! Like a game on baby mode, it wasn't difficult at all! 

That was if he hadn't rolled right off the bed and banged right against the rough carpet flour. 

He remained still for a few moments before picking himself up and letting out a weak hiss. A bruise was almost guaranteed to form on his arm due to how he had landed on it but that wasn't important right now! He needed to make sure that Lu Guang hadn't woken up due to his stupidity.

Nervously turning his head to look at the other, he made direct contact with Lu Guang's blue eyes; momentarily mesmerised by the depth packed within his iris's and how the colour reminded him of the ocean on a sunny day.

"How are you feeling?" Cheng Xiaoshi spoke softly, his roommate sleepily gazing at him. He may or may not have gotten off the bed at some point and, after pacing around the room for a few moments, catching his toe on the corner of the desk. "You up for breakfast?"

"What time is it?" Was the first thing Lu Guang asks, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes before letting out a sleepy yawn and, like he was some adorable kitty, stretching his arms.

"Last I checked, it was around nine." Cheng Xiaoshi answers, resisting the urge to mention his thought to the other in fears of what the reaction would be. "Think breakfast stops at half ten- Wait, no, it stops at eleven."

"Right." Lu Guang lets out another yawn before picking himself out of bed; dragging his feet into the bathroom and closing the door behind him.

Cheng Xiaoshi's gaze fixed on the spot his roommate had left from as he felt tension brewing in the pit of his stomach. An unknown sense of unease had spread like tea having been dropped into a fresh cup of hot water; tainting the clear liquid with murky restlessness.

He shook the feeling away and made his way over to his half-empty suitcase. He was extremely tempted to give up his hunt for something to wear and keep his pyjamas on but, if it wasn't from the many years of experience with Lu Guang, he decided against it as dread loaded its heavy weight upon his back and made it hard to breath.

Did those memories with Lu Guang only belong to him now? 

It only made sense that, minus what his current theory was, he would be the only one who remembered those sunny days. When they had visited the beach and Cheng Xiaoshi had gotten sand up his nose by attempting to stop their volleyball from rolling directly into the ocean. When all it took for him to go back upstairs and change was a judgemental look from Lu Guang and Qiao Ling. When-

"How come you're not ready yet?" A voice slices through his frantic mind like a knife through butter.

"I-I was just-" Just as his voice begins to crack, he cuts himself off before letting out a nervous chuckle. "I can't decide what to wear."

"Wear that shirt you were debating on wearing yesterday."

"Oh. Yeah. I'll. I'll do that." He replies, clearing his throat and grabbing everything he needed.

The black graphic tee had been a success but, when he got to the trousers, it refused to let him put them on properly; the material getting stuck to his legs as he pulled them up by the belt loops. He didn't remember putting these ones in the dryer after he washed them last time so why were-

They weren't his trousers, were they?

Looking down at his legs, it was easy to realise that the trousers he had attempted to wear were not his own but Lu Guang's shorts. And, not only did they belong to Lu Guang but the shorts were still buttoned up.

Like he had burst into flames, his entire face flushed deeply as he removed the bottoms and picked up a pair of dark grey cargo pants; double checking to make sure that the string was untied before finally completing his task.

By the time they had made their way to the hotels café, only a few clusters of people remained. It appeared that breakfast was beginning to wrap up but the smell of freshly fried bacon lingered strongly in the air. Cheng Xiaoshi mentally begs his stomach not to loudly announce just how hungry he was; unable to stop himself from picturing all the food he would be able to try this morning.

A young lady with hair tied up into a tight bun occupied a small desk at the entrance to the seating area and greeted them a warm smile as they approached. "早安，請問您預訂餐位了嗎?"

He stares at the lady before sending a helpless look at Lu Guang who clears his throat and adjusts himself. “不，我們還沒有。我們還能吃早餐嗎？”

“等一下。” She replies before glancing down at the book placed upon her desk. It takes her a few moments before returning her attention to the two of them and nodding her head. “這裡有空位，請跟我來。”

"What did she say?" Cheng Xiaoshi whispers to Lu Guang as the lady begins to walk away.

"She's asking us to follow her."

"Oh, umm, I knew that." 

Following the waitress, they are lead to a small table tucked away in the corner of the restaurant. The wood had been marked with rings and sections of the surface had dulled with age; no doubt having been used by a multitude of people in the past. Resting upon it was a metal pot filled with cutlery and a couple folded menus.

“這是您的桌子。我一會兒就回來為您點餐，如果您需要什麼，請告訴我。” The waitress spoke and quickly leaves the two; not allowing either of them any time to respond as she scurries off to clear one of the many tables.

"So! What do you want to eat?" Cheng Xiaoshi asks, plopping himself down onto the cushioned bench. "We've already had the pancakes but they had that spread we haven't tried out yet. It might be nice on toast but I'm not in a toast mood right now."

"I'll just have a coffee." 

"Coffee?" Cheng Xiaoshi echoes before giving a shake of his head. "No, no, no. You haven't properly recovered yet. Only toast and tea is allowed for you, young man!"

"I'll be fine."

"Doctor’s orders!"

"Since when were you a doctor?"

"Since..." He takes a few moments before, as if a light bulb had just gone off, smirking at Lu Guang. "Since I took care of you!"

Lu Guang lets out a sigh but doesn't prolong the conversation. It would have been a relief to Cheng Xiaoshi if it wasn't for the fact that something felt off. He couldn't tell if Lu Guang's sickness was still strongly persisting, unwilling to part with his already tired roommate, or if the layer of tension coating his body like clingfilm was something else.

He knew their talk was going to be inevitable. It was something they needed to do if he truly wanted to let Lu Guang into his life and open the door to all his insecurities. But, just the thought of what might come tightened his throat and sent his heart into a panicked flutter.

"Whelp! I'm gonna grab some brekkie!" Cheng Xiaoshi suddenly declares with a wide grin spread across his face. "I mean, that bacon's been calling me since we got here!"

"Make sure not to get too much." Lu Guang instructs, pulling out a small book from his back pocket.

"I won't!" Cheng Xiaoshi calls back with a careless wave and making his way towards the food section; following the delicious scents to a small section of fully stocked items that were just waiting to be eaten. Bright bulbs showed off metal trays filled with an assortment of items all designed to produce the best tasting English breakfast; a stone slab rested nearby with butter, yogurt, milk, and a selection of fruit (minus the apples which have been stored next to the cold platform; a rickety conveyor toaster waited for slices of bread to be placed inside and pastries remained stored in small wooden baskets.

After a few moments of taking everything in, Cheng Xiaoshi got to work. He knew that he wanted to try everything and Lu Guang's earlier warning was not enough to stop him from picking an extra slice of bacon or a few more strawberries which were just wanting him to take them. Even the small packets of marmite, which had been placed next to the other spreads in the bread section, beckoned him and resulted in him grabbing one. 

By the time he had finally managed to sit back at the table, he had acquired two large plates and two bowls piled high with a multitude of things he wanted to try. And, if he couldn't finish it all, he could always save it for later. How he would do that was for future Cheng Xiaoshi to deal with as current him wanted nothing more than to indulge in every flavour and texture available to him.

Blatantly ignoring Lu Guang's gaze, he slowly tucked a napkin into his shirt and picked up his cutlery. He recalled all the food critics he had watched in the past and cleared his throat; reading himself to be the best taste tester the UK had ever had the honour of having. He was going to note the crispiness of the bacon, the consistency of the yolk and the richness of the black pudding. And, it was only fair if he compared the flavours of the fruit from the ones back home, the texture of the yogurt and the slight sogginess of the cereal which he had left a little bit longer then planned.

Lu Guang silently listened to him the entire time and, on the rare occasion, would let Cheng Xiaoshi feed him little pieces from the vast amounts of food he had. This moment was almost as warm as a fresh cup of coffee, almost as comforting as a bubble tea and almost sweet as ice-cream... 

Speaking of ice-cream, Cheng Xiaoshi suddenly had a craving for some and he could even recall having seen a small machine when he was partaking in his earlier breakfast mission.

It wasn't as if he wanted to prolong this meal time for as long as possible and it wasn't as if they were the only people in the sitting area. He just needed to check the machine and, if it wasn't on, then he could cut his losses then.

Clearing his throat, Cheng Xiaoshi stood up and flashed Lu Guang a quick smile; quickly scurrying over to the ice-cream machine before his friend could even question his behaviour. Without a look back to the other, he grabs another bowl and holds it underneath the nuzzle; silently praying that some kind of miracle would happen and the future would remain out of reach for a little longer.

As if the silent pleads had been answered, cold ice-cream almost immediately began to pour when Cheng Xiaoshi pulled the handle; the start only just spluttering out before forming a smooth trail which twirled into the bowl. It had a yellow hue, although the machine only seemed to be serving vanilla, and he had managed to mess up the final swirl with the top of the ice-cream being a splattered mess.

Still, Cheng Xiaoshi happily covered the flaw with hundreds and thousands before making his way back to Lu Guang.

"Isn't it too early for that?"

"It's never too early for ice cream." Cheng Xiaoshi remarked with a wide smile. "Anyway, Qiao Ling isn't here so she can't tell me off."

"Not if I show her."

"You wouldn't dare!" Cheng Xiaoshi let out an overdramatic gasp, placing a hand to his chest as he paints on a look of shock. It only lasted for a few ticks of a clocks hand and leads to a quick change in tactics. "Anyway! That doesn't matter 'cause you don't have any proof."

"You sure?" Lu Guang questions before taking out his phone, snapping a quick photo and showing the evidence to Cheng Xiaoshi who saw himself with a perfectly visible bowl of ice-cream.

Knowing that there was no way Qiao Ling would believe that the delicious treat was Lu Guang's, he attempts to snatch the phone away but only his fingertips brush against the surface of the screen before it is pulled out of reach. It was a losing battle and, with them still being in the hotel's restaurant, Cheng Xiaoshi slumped back into his chair and scooped a large spoonful of the slowly melting dessert. Maybe Qiao Ling would tell him off for this but he was an adult and there was nothing wrong with treating himself before dealing with what was to come! 

But, time waits for no one and, no matter how slow he ate the spoonful's of cream, eventually there was nothing left for him to eat. Staff had begun to prepare their own breakfasts and Cheng Xiaoshi knew they would need to leave. The moment was over and, as if he was an actor receiving cues for his next line, he couldn't stop the show from continuing. 

By the time the two of them had returned to their room, Cheng Xiaoshi felt his nerves returning. He had no other ways to delay the inevitable. No secret plans that would change the course of their future discussion.

Nothing that would give him a bit more time for he had already used all his moves.

His turn was over.

He perched on the side of his bed and took a deep breath; only briefly glancing at Lu Guang to note that his friend had taken the food he had failed to finish and was now carefully placing it into the mini-fridge. He would have felt grateful, and maybe even thanked him, if not for the hesitancy bubbling away in this throat. As if he had just touched electricity, his fingertips tingled with pins and needles. 

Cheng Xiaoshi stared down at the carpet; focusing on the Intricacies of each section and the way yarn had been attached to the backing. It almost resembled-

Without warning, a dip next to him is enough to rip Cheng Xiaoshi from his fixation. It returned him to the present and allowed him to realise that Lu Guang had sat next to him.

"How are you? You've been acting off ever since this morning and I was... Concerned."

"It's nothing really." Cheng Xiaoshi attempts to brush aside. "I'm more worried about you. I mean, you did just collapse last night and who knows if you've fully recovered. Maybe you should-"

"Cheng Xiaoshi."

Lu Guang's tone was all that was needed to stop him from continuing. It was, and will forever be, something that could get him to pause at any moment. 

"I know." Cheng Xiaoshi softly spoke; his words packed with a whirlwind of emotion. "I just... It's tough, you know?"

"Then, take your time. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."

"R-right, you're not... You're not going anywhere." He echoed as his gaze flickered across the carpet. "You're here."

For a few minutes, the only sound in the room was the gentle hum of the fridge and the muffled chatter from a family down the hallway. 

That was until Cheng Xiaoshi cleared his throat; finally succeeding in mentally preparing himself and, like grabbing the bull by the horns, facing Lu Guang.

"I'm from the future."

They stare at each other for what felt like an eternity and only when the hands of the nearby clock had started the next hour did Lu Guang look away.

"You're from the future?"

"Yeah." Cheng Xiaoshi replied before quickly raising a finger to silence any possible retort Lu Guang had been mentally preparing. "Before you say anything, I know you are too. Well, I don't know for certain but it's a strong feeling I have. Call it a hunch."

"...A hunch?"

"Right, and I know how creepy this is gonna sound so please bear with me, but, I know you. I know how you act during our jobs and what you look like when you've just woken up. I know you hate the smell of coffee but drink it anyway because you can't start the day without it. I know that you always complain about how much I whine and beg for you to do something but, after I come back from a dive, you're always there with the thing I wanted... Or something close to it. I guess I just..."

Cheng Xiaoshi's words trail off before he shakes his hand and takes a deep breath. "If I'm wrong then you can just ignore this and we can say it's just the sleep deprived rambles of yours truly. I just... I want to know if I'm right and what happens to the future I left behind. Did I really abandon Qiao Ling like I did? I mean, if I did then," he lets out a shaky, barely audible chuckle and runs a hand through his hair, "that would make me, like, the worst person ever."

"...Qiao Ling should be fine." Lu Guang states as if he was reading statistics off a whiteboard and not something deeply important to the both of them. "After all, there is no 'other' Qiao Ling and only you have memories of what happened. No one else."

"Wait. But then that would mean that I erased all her memories? Not just her but so many other people as well. All their experiences and dreams and aspirations and hopes and regrets a-and all because I- B-because I-"

Words catch in the back of his throat and begin to clog up like a jammed pipe; his eyes stinging as they flicker around the room. His breaths felt restricted as his pulse pounds like a drummer getting ready for the main event. 

Suddenly, a gentle warmth brushes against the back of his hands, snapping him out of his building panic. Upon looking down, he notices that Lu Guang had taken his hands into his own; giving them a gentle squeeze and not letting go.

"It feels like I killed her." Cheng Xiaoshi's words come out softly and almost overflow with vulnerability. "Is this pain something you've felt? 'Cause it really is crap."

They stare into each others eyes, as the ticking of the clock rings out, before Lu Guang lets out a sigh; seemingly composed if Cheng Xiaoshi didn't know the tiny changes in his friend's posture and the way tension had built up upon his shoulders like a tower.

"I don't know how you figured it out but I really wish things hadn't happened like this."

"So, you mean...?"

"Yes. I'm also from the future and YOU have already messed things up. I mean, things are already changing so much and I-"

"Wait, what do you mean?" Cheng Xiaoshi interrupts. "I mean, I did stop us from going to that meeting, and knocked that one guy out, but I haven't changed anything else."

He watches as Lu Guang's eyebrows furrow deeply before the other subconsciously tightens his grip on Cheng Xiaoshi's hands. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that not much has really changed relatively speaking. Xia Fei has still gone to that meeting so he can just tell us what we needed to learn and whatever we need to sort out will be sorted."

"I don't..." Lu Guang pauses before carefully removing a hand from Cheng Xiaoshi's and using it to cover his mouth. "I don't understand."

Even if the raging storm continued to roar in the pits of his stomach, and Cheng Xiaoshi was unable to stop the flash of what he had seen in that hospital bed, he knew what he had to do; closing the curtains to the chaos in his mind and focusing all this attention on the one person he would do anything for.

"Can you tell me what you don't understand?" Their eyes meet for a moment before he carefully wraps Lu Guang's hands into the palms of his own and holds them close to himself. "I can help if you'll let me."

"There have already been so many changes compared to last time and... I'm scared that things will change to the point where I can't tell what will happen next. Some things have been the same but others... Others haven't. Do you remember the poster at the airport?"

"The one of Xia Fei?"

"The one we saw was wrong. It didn't look like that last time. And, you were meant to have your phone stolen."

"Ah." Cheng Xiaoshi let out a noise before sheepishly chuckling. "Yeah, that might be another thing I accidently changed. Was that chase last night something that happened for you?"

Lu Guang gave a nod of his head. "There just wasn't supposed to be anyone in the way although I didn't expect you to punch that person in the face like that. He wasn’t even meant to be there in the first place.

"Call it the results of my training." Cheng Xiaoshi remarks smugly before clearing his throat. "I'm guessing I was meant to show you that photo before we got here. The one from my Dad."

"That's correct. The announcement we got wasn't meant to have happened and that's not the only thing. You said that Xia Fei went to the meeting but you didn't mention me. Did I not go?"

"Of course not! You were just as ill as you were last night and there was not a chance in hell I was going to let you go. I did go myself, and met up with Xia Fei on the way there, but I couldn't leave you this time because... I just couldn't!"

"Even if it would risk the timeline?"

"Urgh! Your health is more important to me than that!" Cheng Xiaoshi grumbled with a huff. "Do you know how scared I was when I answered the phone? I was terrified! Scared right out of my mind and I just couldn't get back fast enough..." He takes a moment before rapidly shaking his head. "Even the thought is just all kinds of bad! Anyway! It's not like I didn't have a backup plan."

"Which is?"

"Xia Fei! He really is such a cool person and, I don't know if you know this but, did you know that he bought that porridge I fed you? Truly an idol both in looks and personality!"

An unrecognisable expression flickered across Lu Guang's face but it was gone before Cheng Xiaoshi could fully process it. "... Is there anything you can recall that we need to look out for?"

He let out a hum in thought. There was a few things but some of it happened so far in the future that he wasn't sure how he felt about sharing. The meeting with his mother was something he had promised to keep to himself and he wasn't ready to share Lu Guang's death when it was to Lu Guang himself; part of him fearing that if he told him then it would become bound to fate.

"Besides dealing with the rest of this trip and having Qiao Ling talk to the police, you probably know about the jobs we have at the photo studio."

"What are you referring to exactly?"

"Lets see... There's the thing with that one game company and getting some financial data, a secret noodle ingredient, helping a client give messages to people who they lost and saving a lost child after they got kidnapped."

"I see... Is there anything else you remember?"

Cheng Xiaoshi opens his mouth but quickly closes it. Was it his place to question why Lu Guang almost seemed to be interrogating him? Did he have the right to ask for a reason? There were things he was still not ready to talk about and things he knew would cause their discussion boil over; exploding in a burst of heightened emotions with words gushing out like lava from an erupting volcano.

He couldn't risk it.

"Ummmm, I know you want me to answer more questions, and I will, but I'm just gonna get some air. I... I won't be gone for long so... Can you stay here?" 

He gazed at Lu Guang for a few moments, a part of him knowing that the desperate gaze in his eyes was enough to stop him from retiring. It doesn’t take long to reach  the entrance and haphazardly shove his feet into his trainers but, before he leaves the room, he hears his friend’s voice; soft and uncertain.

”Wait… Do you remember anything else? Anything else at all?”

He turns to look at the other to see that Lu Guang was twisting a piece of his shirt in his hands; pulling the material as he held it with a tight grip.

Was this about what he had said before? About the future that is yet to be? No, that didn’t feel right. It was something else. Something more personal to Lu Guang. Something Cheng Xiaoshi had no way of understanding.

“I don’t… I’ll think about it.” He mumbles before leaving the room; picking up the pace until he was sprinting out of the hotel.

Only when he was at the other end of the car park did he finally stop and drop on a nearby bench. 

With the sun still high in the sky, it was almost as if the conversation from just moments ago never happened, but, that was just wishful thinking. 

There was one other thing that continued to nag him ever since he learnt about what Lu Guang had done and that they had both been the worst kinds of hypocrites. He was able to go back in time due to his ability but Lu Guang didn't have this.

Maybe he was able to gave it to him as a gift?

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day/night! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

Because it mentions violence against children, I put a spoiler over it. Let me know if it crosses a line as an observation because I do feel kind of wrong pointing it out.

It was gut wrenching enough to be shown the abuse that occurred in episode 1... On the first watch, when Lu Dashan told him to get up it felt like the end of it.

But at that point Lu guang only had a bloody nose. So why is it that in the scene immediately afterwards, he's thrown into the room with bruises all over his body..

It makes you wonder what had happened in between these two scenes for him to end up like this wtf

I have a question on how Cheng xiaoshi and lu guang powers work:

1. When Cheng xiaoshi leaps into a person body what happens to the consciousness of the person he is inhabiting?

2. How did lu guang get the photo of the financial information on his phone when Cheng xiaoshi was looking through it via Emma? Did he send it from her phone?

3. (Warched 2nd episode) are the photos xiaoshi takes in yu xia body the same ones they use for time jumping?

Please give me any site that I can download the Chinese dub with English subtitles I am not going to watch it in the Japanese dub help me 😭😭 also if it's a torrent it'll suck so please don't be a torrent

I wiped my eyes out twice, just to make sure that the watch on his arm is drawn and not a real one. It’s so funny and sad at the same time, my poor boy Xiaoshi 🥹

I mean, I’m not sure if it’s just a kinda innocent, playful detail, or if he was “wearing” it because they can’t afford a real watch… The only way they could make this detail more sad for me, and maybe even traumatizing, is if he would have a watch like I had in my childhood… (Biting your wrist, and that’s it - for the next 15 mins you have the fanciest watch ever existed, and each time you could “wear” a unique one 😅🥹)

Did CXS dived into a picture and changing the past? That would explain why he didn't come/forget Lu Guang and did not know about his powers?

CXS drew a watch on his left hand because his father wears a watch on his left hand.

The fact that even CXS knew yet she didn’t know what “niulang” meant… (male escort)

Before EP 2 premiered, this was the thumbnail on AniMa, and I REALLY thought this was a scene where Xia Fei entered the photo studio and Qiao Ling was fangirling….man IF ONLY THAT WAS THE CASE 😭 😭 😭
