It just hit me how steamy Silent Reading I'd again. I gotta finish the novel
#silent reading#lb#i have like 50 pages left maybe 100. im functionallg right before the finale#it truly HIT me the other day how much the luofei dynamic changes through the novel. part 1 is basically guardian/child#just after a fallout with hostility but a power imbalance still#and fei du realizing hes going to destroy the relationship by doing his plan (which you rhe reader dont know)#part 2 they become closer to equals. work partners. and fei du is actively trying to savor the relationship#by flirting whilr also actively doing shit that WILL destroy it (he thinks it will). luo wenzhou is responding#by trying to CONTROL the flirting and halt it in the holding pre relationship phase#cause he knows fei du is lashing out and insecure and just wants the SECURITY of their relationship#but also luo wenzhou jas no idea why if fei du wants security fei du is rocking the relationship with flirting#and lies.#then part 3 is fei du saves luo wenzhous life. and progressively they become Truly Equal partners because fei du#HAS to be honest. and luo wenzhou tries to Controlingly carefully walk them through steps of#being honest and healthy compared to the imbalamced guardian/kid and supervisor/manipulator dynamics#and theyre like 90% of the way there. by the time i stopped reading#and i suspect there will be a part 4 to the dynamic shift maybe?#its just. its WILD how severely things shift. and in part 1? fei du uses Tao Ran as a 3rd party#same plan as in part 2: preserve relationsgip with luo wrnzhou as long as possible#but in part 1 fei du just had the fallout with lwz. and thinks Tao Ran is the way to keep lwz in his life close but able to be#pushed away. in part 2 fei du goes for high risk high reward with more direct contact to lwz instead. and tao ran getting a gf and putting#up more boundaries also pushes that direction. tao ran stops being an IN to lwz for fei du. so fei du goes direct but ultimately wants#the same childhood relation with lwz but as#equals. still safe and secure and permanent though. lwz is still the ONE person whod take him in if he did what that girl who tried to kill#a girl did. lwz is the only one who'll unconditionally love him rhe way his own parents didnt. the way tao ran cant cause tao ran#cant love a suspect a criminal unconditionally. but lwz will do tje discipline himself if he has to and Still love unconditonal#and fei du wants that as long as possible. (and even a transition to part 3 he loses that a bit#because honesty with lwz means more reasons for lwz to eventually draw a line)
