Thinking about Shao Yuanyuan and her wildcard potential and it hit me today... just how much does she know? Does she live in a time loop similar to Lu Guang or does she hop in and out of the past like Cheng Xiaoshi? Does she know that Cheng Xiaoshi also has a death node?

It suddenly occurred to me to that the Shao Yuanyuan we likely saw during the fire in Ep 4, was either a time leaping SYY from the future or at least one who had information from her future self to know to be in Bridon at this point in time and also a Shao Yuanyuan who might have just realized Cheng Xiaoshi had awakened his own powers.

Given her meeting with Cheng Xiaoshi in Ep 6 where she acts like Cheng Xiaoshi should be aware of how this all works, I suspect that it's because the version of Shao Yuanyuan from Ep 4 arranged this meeting because she encountered Cheng Xiaoshi during the fire and thus knew he would show up in Bridon and go searching for them through Wang Qing. She needed to set up that meeting so she could tell Cheng Xiaoshi face to face not to pursue her anymore (and make things more complicated).

I also think that was her second attempt at doing so - the first being to go back years earlier to tell the Qiao family not to let him go to Bridon. But the future refused to change so she found another opportunity to try again.

And based on Lu Guang's comments it sounds like she would have also failed again in the original timeline. It's not clear how her conversation with CXS went last time (if there was one) but at the very least she might not have had time to make CXS promise not to chase after her anymore, and that would have likely sealed his fate. If anything, a sudden interrupted meeting like that might have even encouraged him further.

And this is all coming from a Shao Yuanyuan from an unknown point in the future...

Anyway this is a lot of words to say where in time is Shao Yuanyuan?

And what the heck does the timeline look like from her perspective?

[halcyon-deluxe]

what do you value most in someone?

At *least* a 2x resistance to ground type attacks. My last partner died due to a 4x weakness to earthquake and it gave me SUCH an ick :/ likeeeee I haaaaate it when my partner gets one-shot by earthquake spammers. its such a turn off.

hmmm I get how people think that xia fei will fail to sever his deal with liu xiao, but I actually think it's the opposite? I think liu xiao will accept his decision and let him go very easily, but he'll leave him with final words that will make xia fei question if he's making the right choices ("if you see your friends' true colors" blah blah blah)

if xia fei is the pawn in the chess metaphor, him reaching the opposite end of the board would promote him to a more valuable piece, per chess rules. liu xiao wants more valuable chess pieces. why not let xia fei make more friends on the opposing team. "reaching the opposite end of the board" can mean many things. maybe xia fei dies, or maybe he just realizes the "mistake" of making friends with the opposing team. I don't think xia fei or vein will die, btw, but that's neither here nor there. in any case, the timeline will reset anyway when cheng xiaoshi dies

it's not that xia fei fails to stop his cooperation with liu xiao. he'll succeed, and then rethink it. xia fei, who hates owing favors; liu xiao, who sees a situation where xia fei may or may not feel indebted to him later on, in some capacity.

nobody really knows what liu xiao is doing at any time but personallyyyy I think it's more his style to let his "friends" come running back to him after realizing that his views on the world are right. so he lets xia fei go. it's fine. xia fei will come back to him later anyway, or he'll find some other use for him in another way.

to liu xiao, you don't coerce people into becoming your "friend." you make them "want" to be one. this is an exercise of agency for the other person, no? 😊

and we have a precedent for this too. after all, that's what happened to li tianchen.

one of these days, I really will make my "the curtains are blue" post about how the blue and yellow jacket wearers (li tianchen, xia fei, and cheng xiaoshi) are foils/parallels with themes of agency/autonomy and/or lack thereof, and liu xiao is the thematic intersecting point for all of them. but that's not the point of this post. I'll write them after YE6 in case YE6 changes my mind lmao

on another note. link click, I was promised a hohh TRIO so WHERE are my vein & liu xiao "friendship" scenes? you have ONE 🫵 episode left to show me something other than a phone call and liu xiao playing designated driver

I have two secrets about fanfiction to reveal, and everyone brace themselves: they're earth-shattering:

You don't have to read a fanfic. Yes, even if it's a Fandom Classic!

If you start a fic and realise it's not your cup of tea, you can just stop reading it.

hey so. random thought. what are the odds that liu xiao was the client that approached qiao ling for the S1E1 case

[omnipotent-omnicube]

i haven't really read a lot of people's posts on here but i've read a few on twitter and i'm glad that other people are also recognizing that xia fei is almost definitely being at least somewhat manipulated by vein
