So, I didn't read this chapter when it came out because it was exam season on my end. I feel like that was a blessing in disguise LOL because I'm not too pleased with where our protagonists are at right now... (●￣(ｴ)￣●) YuYang dear, our LiHuan hasn't told you he stopped liking you! My dear, you're being hesitant when LiHuan has been crystal clear since the moment he realized he loves you!!

I think there's more to YuYang than we may have thought then! I didn't read <Guang Xiang> (prequel where YuYang appeared), so I don't know if there are details to YuYang's life mentioned there that hasn't been mentioned in this story yet... I thought YuYang's unrequited love for Lin Xiang (but in chapter 75, YuYang acknowledged Lin Xiang is a good friend and someone our protagonist admired), YuYang's family not accepting him being gay, YuYang facing homophobic remarks from outsiders.... I thought all these reasons were what prevented YuYang from approaching LiHuan. YuYang said he doesn't want LiHuan to face homophobia from society, potentially not being accepted by family members, and YuYang wasn't sure if LiHuan understood his own feelings.

But I'm feeling meh about YuYang NOT approaching LiHuan right now, after our uke realized he loves LiHuan??? I think there is more to unearth for YuYang, than he originally thought... I had no idea that the person YuYang liked in the past (before YuYang crushed on Lin Xiang, YuYang brought home a boy and they hung out in middle school... I think that's the same boy we saw in the flashback this chapter), rejected or broke up with YuYang because of societal pressures.

Even though YuYang asserts that he doesn't care about what society says about him, I'm starting to think he does! YuYang is tired of homophobia, and I think that had him give up on love (along with his unrequited love for Lin Xiang in the past). I feel like it wouldn't have hurt if YuYang just told LiHuan that our upperclassman just needs some space to himself and that LiHuan doesn't need to worry, which is fine. YuYang turning away from LiHuan and telling LiHuan to go on and take photos... That whole scene just didn't feel right LOL.

I agree with XiaoYi about falling in love in real life, does not happen exactly like a manhua. I understand that WangWang has good intentions because she wants YuYang and LiHuan to be together, but our protagonists need space to figure out what approach they want to take. XiaoYi had a point when he mentioned that he wouldn't find it too easy to confess if he wasn't sure if there would be happiness. I get the vibe that YuYang needs to figure out how he addresses or internalizes homophobia, before he and LiHuan start dating. Although, it seems like LiHuan is ready to face any struggle with YuYang to be honest. :|

Am I the only one feeling like YuYang and LiHuan are running in circles?? YuYang has talked about battling homophobia ALONE for years, and LiHuan knows about that. Is there another reason that's stopping YuYang from confessing to LiHuan? YuYang could literally send a text message to LiHuan by saying, "Hey, let's talk and meet at X," and then have a heart-to-heart LOL. There is no third-party stopping YuYang and LiHuan from dating either lol (●￣(ｴ)￣●)

Damn, I could totally reread this chapter on Uncle Pan and Qiu, and I could get the feels all over again. I love that this chapter is long (well, longer than chapter 77, since it took me 8 minutes to read this), which Uncle Pan and Qiu deserve since we haven't seen them since chapter 71 ;-----;

I'm not in love with Qiu right now. Although, I think Qiu is a product of his environment, so what he says and what he believes in right now may not be a representation of his nature. (That argument that all gays are promiscuous is so flawed, lol! I applaud Uncle Pan for being MATURE enough to say anyone can be promiscuous, and there is no connection to sexual orientation (︶︿︶)＝凸)

Considering that Qiu comes from a wealthy family, he could use that to hang out with anyone he wants, yet he's pinning after our Uncle Pan... If Qiu literally wanted to try having sex with any man, he doesn't have to resort to Uncle Pan LOL. So, Qiu just doesn't recognize that he's ATTRACTED to Uncle Pan. (Well, I am too, and Uncle Pan is fiction LOL ╮(￣▽￣)╭) When you're drawn to somebody, that can totally strike your curiosity and you want to know more about them. But damn, if I was in Qiu's position, and Uncle Pan doesn't reply to me for days and days, I would eventually lose the motivation to chase after this hot Uncle LOL. So, even though I'm not in love with Qiu (yet), I acknowledge his persistence. Qiu really doesn't have to show up at Uncle Pan's bar every night.

I have the impression that Qiu and his friend aren't genuine buddies. When Qiu's friend laughed, "Then why are you looking for an uncle?! Aren't you afraid that such an old person won't have the energy to do it?", I was like "You obviously haven't read <How Sweet is a Sugar Daddy?> #－.－)" <- http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/how_sweet_is_a_sugar_daddy/?av=1 When you're in the mood, and especially when you got the experience, ain't nobody stopping you from some fun time LOL!! And I agree with Qiu about, "The more of an adult, the more exciting it is." Daddies can totally show you a world you've never been to kid -___-

I lol-ed when Uncle Pan drove quickly in Qiu's car, and the boy doesn't drive fast at all in his race car xDD It was so innocent when Qiu said, "Uncle, I just got my driving license! I don't wanna take the exam again!!" :P I appreciate Qiu's honesty, even though he doesn't always say the nicest things.

I like that Qiu is open to learning. Qiu just let Uncle Pan drive, without even knowing where they were going. I lol-ed at Qiu's scared expression when Uncle Pan joked about the darkness and howling winds being the perfect setup to commit murder :P

I wish I knew Chinese to read the raws, and then understand Uncle Pan and Qiu's conversation about the characters being used to spell their names. It was a genuine moment there. :)) Uncle Pan may be the first person to not laugh at Qiu's name, and that was the first time Qiu laughed in Uncle Pan's presence. (▰˘◡˘▰)

On page 45, when Qiu was thinking to himself, "In my imagination...this uncle..." he didn't complete the sentence .______. I'm curious about what Qiu had in mind. Maybe Qiu realized at that moment that he had a wrong impression of Uncle Pan? Maybe Qiu thought Uncle Pan was promiscuous, but he realized there may be something more to our dear uncle??

ANd DAMN! Love, love, love the atmosphere! When Qiu leaned forward and asked, "Then, what about you, uncle? What kind of person are you?", I love that ONE SMILE from Uncle Pan was enough to keep Qiu in his place LOL. Qiu was just FROZEN xDD

Haha, I love that Uncle Pan casually calls Qiu a kid. Let's see what Uncle Pan will do now that he agreed to give Qiu a chance!! :) I would laugh a lot if Qiu actually has ZERO sexual experience, but he just kept a front to his friends this entire time. And then it's Uncle Pan who's got to teach Qiu everything lol.

It took me a good four minutes to read this during my break from studying, thank you to the kind soul who uploaded this chapter!!

Some people are saying Anton is not Klaus's biological son, while others think Klaus and Anton are father and son. I think, unless Klaus explicitly states that Anton is not Klaus's son, I'm going to think they're father and son.

Klaus's perspective... There was a bittersweet feeling to it. Klaus still loved his wife after finding out that she was part of Klaus's cousin's plan to take down Klaus in the family business, and she chose to leave because she didn't want that to happen (if Mrs. Arnault stayed, Klaus wouldn't be the heir today....) T__T So, there was genuine love between both parties... It seems like Mrs. Arnault died naturally, since we didn't see her get killed by anyone. Maybe Mrs. Arnault died from how severe the malnutrition was??

There is such a complicated relationship and so many emotions that need to be unraveled! It seems like Klaus does care for Anton, yet he doesn't know how to be a good father or how to raise Anton lovingly. Looking at Anton everyday reminds Klaus of his deceased wife. I don't know how Klaus feels about Arwin personally yet, but maybe Klaus wants to separate Arwin and Anton to keep Anton around??

So, indeed, Klaus goes to the Cyrene Salon for business purposes. But is there a reason we don't know of yet, as to why Klaus had his eye on Arwin? Is it because Arwin is beautiful like Mrs. Arnault was? I don't hope that Klaus intentionally made Arwin the number one sex worker, to later use Arwin to destroy Anton emotionally... ;----;

So... I feel conflicted. I remember seeing raws of this when it was released in 2017. Not knowing how to read Japanese, I thought the raws seemed hot and I thought maybe Akihisa and Shizuru established solid communication throughout their time together. I got around to reading and listening to the audio tonight, and I'm like ??? There were moments when I got that feeling, "Hmm...this doesn't seem right..." I felt like Shizuru was too rough on Akihisa at the beginning of this relationship. It seemed risky of Shizuru to go all-out on Akihisa when they didn't know each other very well at all, and Akihisa was so unfamiliar with the BDSM world, including his own fetishes and was trying to understand himself.

Now, I like that Akihisa's friend was supportive about Akihisa being a masochist, and he didn't necessarily stop Akihisa from approaching Shizuru again. But wow, five years together, and Shizuru still felt as though Akihisa always comes back for the thrill of the unknown?? Akihisa was hoping to understand Shizuru though (knowing your boyfriend is seven years older than you, and that he enjoys S&M play...that's not a lot of knowledge about your partner), but it doesn't seem like they developed much in five years. They seem more like sex partners to me, than they are as lovers.

The story gave an overall feeling that Akihisa was simply ACCEPTING Shizuru's treatments, like the whips, but I didn't necessarily feel like Akihisa was enjoying himself... :/ I think Akihisa's body got conditioned into getting aroused, but again, something just felt off.... It felt one-sided because Shizuru was concerned with his own pleasure, but he never stopped to ask, "Hey Akihisa, what do you enjoy?" There was no inquiry about Akihisa's past relationships either, besides the assumption that Akihisa was not involved in S&M play with his exes.

I feel scared knowing that relationships like Akihisa and Shizuru's probably exist in real life. Of course, I am not shaming or insulting healthy BDSM relationships, but this story felt like...abuse?? I'm not sure if I'm explaining or wording myself well. Like in chapter 5, Akihisa was getting hit to the point where there was BLOOD on his body ._______. (how long does it take for that to fade??), and Akihisa was just so aroused to finally get kissed and penetrated. I don’t think Akihisa really enjoyed getting whipped (that wasn’t even teasing!), but more so, he learned to endure all that PAIN (not just light, playful pain too – I repeat, there was blood!) so that he could get some nurturing, gentle affection from Shizuru later.

Shizuru does have a gentle voice and face, but damn... I don't know if Shizuru is very considerate as a human being, considering the physical pain he inflicted on Akihisa without blinking! I feel like this author may have just relied on their imagination (and any research on how to use the tools), rather than having in-person healthy experience ;---------;

Another short chapter! It only took me two minutes to read it. And I was laughing at the end when I saw DJun's face, sweating with knives pointed at it haha. I can't bring myself to be mad at this author, he's so cute XD

I think it's nice that YuYang finally acknowledged his feelings for LiHuan, and YuYang knows that he just wasn't willing to be honest with himself because he feared LiHuan did not understand what it means to like someone. :) YuYang already experienced his unrequited love for Lin Xiang, so the last thing YuYang would want is for LiHuan to say, "Opps, sorry, I thought I like you as a potential boyfriend, but my true feelings for you are what one would have for a dear friend...." ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

I liked seeing Lin Xiang's smile. I loved it when Lin Xiang said, "The day came when both of us can talk about what's on our hearts.... I'm really glad about that." I get the impression that Lin Xiang sensed that YuYang didn't always share what's on our protagonist's mind, so Lin Xiang is happy for YuYang; that YuYang has come to his own realization. :))

The character who gave YuYang skewers was YuYang's roommate, right? I don't remember what the name of this grey-haired character is, so feel free to remind me.... ;-----; But this grey-haired character seems easygoing for letting YuYang take the skewers like that LOL, even though this poor side character didn’t inform Lin Xiang and YuYang about the barbeque for his food to get taken. :P

I'm not mad at LiHuan's female friend (what's her name again?) this chapter. Sometimes, there is bad timing in life. Maybe YuYang can find some private time to chat with LiHuan later. When the friend asked LiHuan, "Were you guys fooling around just now?" all because she saw LiHuan and YuYang chatting at night, and because LiHuan had YuYang's coat gave me a :P expression. I love LiHuan's blushing face, and our shy boy kept saying, "Nope" to her asking him to spill the details. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Maybe LiHuan will go search for YuYang after this. LiHuan only accepted one skewer from his friend, so he'll probably still have a stomach for the skewers YuYang wanted to offer our taller boy ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

WOW. WOW. WOW. INTERNALLY SCREAMING (I can't do it out loud because it's almost 2 AM LOL xDD)

I love the MATURITY, WOO! I hear people say sometimes that males aren't always very mature and that can still happen in post-secondary, but I love that Lin Xiang and YuYang had a heart-to-heart, without fear of looking 'weak' for being true to their hearts!! And I like that Lin Xiang is such a good listener. omg... ;------; I'm more eager to read Guang Xiang (Lin Xiang and Xiao Guang's story, where YuYang was the side character and confessed to Lin Xiang and encouraged Lin Xiang to confess to Xiao Guang) now <33

Indeed, YuYang found a good friend. :)) Some people are amazing, but they're not meant for us romantically. I love that YuYang had a closure this chapter, by acknowledging that he admired Lin Xiang for not being affected by the external world and thought Lin Xiang was the only person who understood YuYang. Sometimes, we really are drawn to those who can see us for who we are, and it's that simple (▰˘◡˘▰) But now YuYang has met LiHuan, and he knows Lin Xiang isn’t the only person in the world who understands our protagonist; I’m so happy for this realization, and I think many of us can relate to that! =) I especially love that part where YuYang said he has met many people, but they’re common people in the sense where he can’t get very close with them. I think it’s normal for us to have relations or interactions with people who we don’t necessarily feel close with all the time, and it can indeed take time to find those we do connect with on a deep(er) level. (=

When Xiao Guang, Lin Xiang, YuYang, and LiHuan all ate together, LiHuan lied by saying he and YuYang were dating LOL. So, this explains why Lin Xiang called LiHuan a good boyfriend. xDD Now that YuYang has recognized that he appreciates LiHuan for understanding him and being there, and he acknowledged to himself they're in a 'more than a friend, not yet a boyfriend' situation, I'm really glad to see YuYang step forward!! :) YuYang's now ready to face LiHuan.

And I gotta give some praise for LiHuan too, for being patient with YuYang. I know sometimes people give up pursuing their crush or hanging out altogether, if they think that said crush is not reciprocating and just using their time to seek attention, etc., but I love how that's not the case here at all.

I've said this in my previous threads before, but overall, I LOVE that DJun shows how simple it is to fall in love, but what makes it complicated can be our own uncertainties and circumstances. YuYang and LiHuan don't need to encounter life and death situations or have a complex story to show how or why they are in love: they just do. And I would like to read more stories like these, where ordinary people fall in love and face their emotions :)

(If DJun decides to focus on the redhead and Uncle Pan in a few chapters, that would make me happy LOL XD I have soft spot for age gaps.)

I'm really glad chapters 2 and 3 are translated! I'm getting a nostalgic vibe from Naoki... :( It seems Naoki is reminded of someone when he hears or sees any resemblance from Minato... Yet, it's so easy to be drawn to Naoki because he's patient and caring, and there's something mysterious to him... I'm curious if itz is going to make Akiyoshi have an unrequited love for Minato?? I hope not because I'm rooting for Naoki and Minato <3

(HAHA, in chapter 3 when Naoki pointed out that Akiyoshi has the same surname as the warlord, Yukimura, that was my reaction too xDD I play Ikemen Sengoku, and Yukimura Sanada is one of my favourites (▰˘◡˘▰))

As time passes, it's pleasant to see how comfortable and open Naoki and Minato are with each other :)) Minato was really cute when he blushed when Naoki carried him and treated his wound <3

What a beautiful, rainy morning I'm having! Reading this at 8:50 AM just couldn't be more ideal. (▰˘◡˘▰)

I found myself grinning too much LOL!! I'm not really mad that we didn't see our "thick, large and hot" this chapter, which DJun commented on in his author's note (or did I miss that? (⌒▽⌒)) from last chapter. All the cuteness made up for the hot spiciness we all want to see LOL.

That was TOO smooth when YuYang asked LiHuan, "Then what do you want to take pictures of?", and LiHuan's automatic response was, "You." ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ OMG!! <33 Let me insert the song, 'Nobody' by the Wonder Girls -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m8LxnGHqLs especially the part where the lyrics are "I want nobody nobody, but you" and "How can I be with another, I don't want any other" basically embodies LiHuan, and our boy YuYang who doesn't realize he's in love lol. I gotta admit though, I think that moment was cool because LiHuan and YuYang already have feelings for each other (and it's not too surprising since LiHuan already confessed), but if YuYang didn't like LiHuan back, then that moment could have been so uncomfortable in an awkward way LOL.

I LOVED that LiHuan was grinning and chuckling to himself after YuYang left that night. Our younger boy asked, "Don't you...like me a little bit by now?" and even though YuYang denied it, he wasn't fooling anyone when he blushed and immediately left the scene! (≧∀≦) I love seeing YuYang being so shy <33

It was honestly adorable to see the characters in chibi form LOL!! I love that LiHuan was just innocently following YuYang around, and even showed YuYang the landscape that YuYang liked from LiHuan's photos. So adorable when LiHuan took that photo of YuYang painting. And I hope LiHuan was pretending to sleep at the end when YuYang leaned closer.... ╮(￣▽￣)╭

And holy!! I skimmed again and I'm in love with YuYang touching LiHuan's hair, thinking our younger boy has spiky hair and even wondering if LiHuan will grow bold when he gets older lol. Is LiHuan's forehead that big? Maybe it's easier for YuYang to tell from being so close to him...

Okay, why did LiHuan blush when YuYang sat beside him at the end?? LOL, I'm curious to read the next chapter to see what LiHuan is seeing!! XDD

A short chapter once again... Maybe YuYang is someone who gets incredibly shy or acts distant when he likes someone. I love that we, the readers, KNOW YuYang is crushing on LiHuan (it ain't simple friendship no more... ╮(￣▽￣)╭), but LiHuan doesn't know LOL, and YuYang still needs to figure out what our upperclassman wants. :P Heck, YuYang is still sorting out his feelings and he doesn't know what approach he wants...

YuYang totally wanted to see LiHuan when he told his friends to wait for him as he went to get his stuff. And YuYang wanted to talk with LiHuan, but he didn't know what to say other than saying hi, asking LiHuan if our tall man will take pictures, and to see each other later LOL. If I were LiHuan, I'd be so confused, like "My crush used to be so chatty and smiley with me, what's up with him??" XD

Good to know that LiHuan and YuYang can both stay up at night, which is one thing they have in common. :)) They didn't even plan to meet each other outside of their rooms, so there was a sweet feeling there. ^^ Are the mountains that safe LOL?? LiHuan was out by himself, and so was YuYang... I know for the females I've encountered, we tend to go together even if it's to the bathroom. :P

Now, I love DJun's little insert image at the end; the man had blood coming out of his mouth LOL. I would love next week's "thick, large and hot" to be what we all want, but with China banning LGBTQ+ portrayal.... Σ( ￣□￣||) I'll wait to see what DJun is planning.

I don't know if this chapter was just short or if I'm becoming a faster reader lol, it only took me two minutes to read this chapter. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I'm looking forward to HuanWen's future romance with this pink-haired stuttering cutie! :) Maybe I should take more walks and have my future lover bump into me LOL (づ￣ ³￣)づ But anyway, the pink-haired boy seems genuine for giving HuanWen a cute tissue pack, despite being late and probably as an apology to HuanWen. The pink-haired boy probably has a good impression of HuanWen too, for bumping into our grey-haired boy who wasn’t angry and helped our lovely stranger pick up his music sheets/songs. Maybe this pink-haired cutie can sing, but he doesn't have the confidence? :)) Overall, I adore the vibes here. <33 Love can arrive that unexpectedly.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

Good news that the Art Department and the Design Department are going on a five-day trip to the mountains soon! Nature can be a great inspiration for art :)) And I adore DJun's character face and the line, "To draw is to fight against nature, but dying on this path is most likely to happen" on page 38, which sounds so serious LOL.
