i was so distracted by cheng xiaoshi having his blue button down shirt back (i thought it was lost in the Vivian arc) that I almost completely missed him sleeping on lu guang's shoulder and lu guang reaching to PET HIS HAIR

lc doodles (2/?) (x, y)

[IMAGE 1: A set of drawings of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. The main drawing is of the two of them sitting in a criss-cross position. Cheng Xiaoshi is leaning his head against Lu Guang’s back, with Lu Guang half-turned toward him. They’re both in simple, comfortable clothes and Cheng Xiaoshi is hugging a pillow to himself. Only their backs are shown. At the upper left is a smaller full-body drawing of Cheng Xiaoshi hugging Lu Guang’s middle and lifting him up. Lu Guang has a blank expression while Cheng Xiaoshi looks elated, with hearts over his head. At the upper right is a chibi drawing of them, wearing almost the same expressions. They’re both blushing.]

[IMAGE 2: A set of drawings of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. The first one is of Lu Guang carrying Cheng Xiaoshi on his back. Cheng Xiaoshi’s left foot is wrapped in bandages and there are band-aids on both his legs. He looks overjoyed at being carried while Lu Guang looks exasperated (he is struggling). At the right is the two of them cuddling in their sleep. Cheng Xiaoshi is hugging Lu Guang like a pillow, with an arm and a leg around him. His head is on his chest and he is drooling on his white shirt. Lu Guang has an arm loosely wrapped around Cheng Xiaoshi. At the bottom is Cheng Xiaoshi hugging Lu Guang from behind. Lu Guang is implied to be asleep in Cheng Xiaoshi’s arms.]

I love a man with an atrocious sense of fashion.

Lu Guang, seriously, wtf was this shirt choice in Link Click Live Action? 😂

AND WHY IS THIS UGLY THING SO EXPENSIVE?? No wonder you and Cheng Xiaoshi are poor!!

Link Click Episode 6 Preview

I don't know how I feel about the episode 6 trailer...😥😥 It looks like sh*t is about to go down and all hell is about to go loose...

Oh no...he caught on to Lu guangs behavior.. oh no......

On top of that, he's done with his mr.nice guy act... That's not good- that's not good at all

This scene....this scene just doesn't give me good vibes idk- what am I saying?- this whole pv doesn't give me good vibes

I don't like that he has this little smirk after Xia Fei asks to stop their co-operation, either he has something sinister in mind or everything is going according to plan...

I love that smirk though so continue on-

Look- I don't like seeing a scared Xia Fei

Like I knew with his non-antagonistic personality, one day he would definitely get wrapped into something horrible...but I have a really Really REALLY bad feeling about this scene, he literally gets pulled back after it looked like he wanted to rush in and help someone...?

And the person behind him... Look, initially I thought it was Vein, but we don't see the black sleeve/gloves here, so apparently it's Lu guang...? The visual evidence is there (short sleeve, white shirt), it is him but I don't know if I want to know why he's pulling Xia Fei back, or is it actually Vein and I'm just looking to much into the clothing design ?? I doubt he'd pull up his sleeves though, seems like a stretch

Could it be that Cheng Xiaoshi's on the other side of the road in danger...

at this rate, I'm really gonna need therapy after this- help- we all need help-

Here's the trailer from the Official Twitter account btw, sh*t does go down though, and you have been warned

[pastorfutureletthembe]

All I think about is Lu Guang unbuttoning Cheng Xiaoshi's shirt at some point 🫣

Official artworks say so! (-ish)

Your best friend doesn't want you to notice that he's hurting himself, but you do.

Cheng Xiaoshi doesn't go for the arms, which means that he has thought thoroughly about this before. Instead as the two of you sit at the Sherlock Holmes themed pub that you took him to after that dive, he has one arm wrapped around his middle, and his hand tucked furtively under his white shirt at his waist.

You're not supposed to notice, but he's digging his fingernails deep into his skin until the sting of it can shock him out of crying.

You want to say something. He wants you to not notice. He's pretending that he's admiring the pub's decorum, its classic architecture and the Victorian silhouettes framed on the walls, pretending that his fish and chips and mushy peas require all of his attention. If he looks up, if you see his eyes, you know you'll see the tears rimming the edges, the pink that begins to settle in, and that's the last thing he wants.

You don't know what to do.

You're doing the best you can, and it doesn't feel like enough. Not after Cheng Xiaoshi's heart was shattered, after the hero that he built up in his head of his father so gently and eloquently snuffed out his hope like a candle. Cheng Xiaoshi won't say it, everything that he has ever feared and believed about himself, but you know that it is evolving from fear to fact in his heart--that he is unwanted by his own father, by his neighbors and peers, by virtually everyone because of some innate deficiency, some failure he cannot pay for with anything but his own skin. His parents' absence had severed self-worth from his whole being since he was a child, and as much as he had learned to skip and run and dance and laugh in spite of it, it is painfully obvious, and you can never help but notice it sometimes, the way his laugh will hobble like a stool with uneven legs.

You took him out to the River Thames in hopes that summer city lights will brighten his spirits and distract him. He agreed jubilantly, talked a mile a minute as he looked up pubs that served something not fried so that your throat will not be sore. He smiled at you. Talked in a voice that is affectionate and cheerful. Made you think that things are going to get better, that he'll be okay. And now he digs his fingernails into his flesh until he leaves welts.

You can't help but look at his arms. He wears short sleeves, and you've seen him in swimming trunks before, and you know that you would have noticed scars. But obviously, there are places of him that you haven't seen before where ugly scars could stay--his soul, for one. But you can't help but worry, after what he had said through Wang Qing's lips when she pulled up her sleeve and showed Cheng Weimin all those mottled bruises. Cheng Xiaoshi retreats into himself in his sadness, you know. And once it's out of your sight and reach, you don't know what it morphs into, and where else he will claw at himself.

But he's looking away from you, and makes mundane commentary to show that he is here, beside you. He talks nonsense of Sherlock Holmes, how he remembers there being a translated book in his attic--stops himself when he realises whose it was, then laughs louder, jokes stupider, compliments your choice in pub as if you had opened it, and you realise he worries about you, too.

It becomes a spar, almost. You suggest going to a gelato shop after this, so that he can have something sweet. He scolds you gently for considering eating something cold while you're sick. You bring up the possibility of seeing the Winnie the Pooh exhibit that he had wanted to go to but deemed not enough time. He says that he'd rather make sure you rested. It's maddening. It's a stalemate. You want to wrench his hand away from his middle. You alone know that in another life, a different sort of wound struck that place. A different kind of self-harm.

You wait until you're both out of the pub. Because he hates crying in front of people, and even more so in public. Because if you catch him red-handed, and clawed, he will hate himself for it, and he has been through enough. You both compromise on the gelato because you reasoned to him that affogato is warm. He orders a cone and he's licking the edges before they melt and you think about how much you wish life was kinder to him, and how much you wish he was kinder to himself.

"Cheng Xiaoshi," you say.

He pauses. He looks at you, and there's nervousness in his eyes, because he is convinced that you're going to say something that will make him cry. He doesn't want your pity, but how could you ever give him pity? His father confirmed his greatest nightmare, and Cheng Xiaoshi stood up and defended the little boy who wept alone and afraid in his home. He protected that inner child, even if not all parts of himself will agree.

"How's your ice cream?" you say instead.

"Good!" he says, with a little relief. "Do you want to try some?"

"Idiot, I'll spread my sickness to you."

"I don't mind. It's a good flavor. It'll go well with your coffee. Come on--"

He takes your spoon and scoops a bit of his into your affogato, and you can't help it. You reach over and ruffle his hair. It's soft and thick and you don't know what to say.

"Are you wiping your sticky hands on me?" he jokes.

But when you don't pull away, and don't speak, he quiets. Your hands are gentle, and you always keep your nails to the quick. Your touch will never hurt him. I'm proud of you, your fingers say as they stroke his head. I'm so, so proud of you. And that silent, clawed hand finally slips away from his middle.

This preview may be from the original timeline

Notice how in this preview, Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi are both wearing solid colored shirts, this may be a representation for themselves and their powers

whereas in the s3 timeline, when Lu Guang has already taken in Cheng Xiaoshi's power, this may be represented by him being made to wear this shirt. his current outfit looks like a literal combination of both of their shirt's from the preview, just as he's a combination of both of their powers currently

this idealic scene in the preview, where Lu Guang isn't a mash up of both of them, but instead pleasantly side-by-side, it feels like it has to be the first timeline

[mysterialistic]

THIS OUTFITS LOOK SO GOOD.

I beg you, Link Click creators, please stop dressing Cheng Xiaoshi in ugly jackets and Lu Guang in that same dirty white shirt in the donghua. They look so much better in slightly more formal outfits. I’m not asking for anything fancy, just something more serious. I’ll never forget Cheng Xiaoshi in that brown shirt and belt from those two episodes—he looked so good 😔

[thank god they're wearing other outfits on Yingdu. I don't love them, but it's a breath of fresh air]
