Chapter 322: "Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight."
I won't get to kiss you like this for five long years. Let me get my fill of it for the future.
Violets are purple
Forget-me-nots blue
And roses can grow
In many a hue
A flower looks simple
Just petals and stem
But all are unique
With more depth to them
Flowers have meaning
Like love in that sense
One can look further
Find things more intense
Love is not simple
Nor easy, nor clear
But like flowers given
So special and dear
Roses aren’t always red
Violets aren’t blue
And that poem’s too trite
To show what is true
Love is like flowers
In a less basic way
With layers like petals
And wishes to stay
So tend to your love
And help it to grow
Feed it with care
And reap what you sow

Hate to burst your bubble, but in order to stalk somebody, you actually have to know where they are.
Xie Lian: So, what was your childhood like?
Hua Cheng: Oh, you mean my tragic backstory that you must be at least level 3 friendship to unlock?
Xie Lian:...well, what level am I at?
Hua Cheng: 10. So it all started-

The last few episodes of The On1y One emphasized the casual public and private intimacy between Tian Yang and Shi Yu because they were more relaxed around each other since there was nothing queer happening between them. They were just two boys sleeping in a bed.
Compared to Wang and Tian who were restrained laying next to each other because they knew their feelings and what it would mean to touch each other.
Because even when they did touch in bed, it was nowhere near the entanglement of limbs that their roommates demonstrated. There was still a sense of self-control.
So because Wang and Tian know, they didn't touch each other like when Wang immediately pulled his hand from Tian even though he did need help walking. It was realizing his feelings, so he didn't want any touch to be publicly perceived as a gay touch.
Which is something that didn't happened between the other boys. So what if someone saw them touch? It wasn't gay. It was just a touch.
And we saw it again.
And again.
Knowing caused a barrier between the boys.
Because that barrier didn't exist with anyone else.
In the end, knowing was the problem.
The emotional damage I took from this moment alone . . .
This is why he didn't want Shao Peng going into his room. He didn't want him to know that he doesn't sleep in the bed. He didn't want him to know he feels safest curled up in a tight space where nobody can get him.
I thought he didn't want him to see that he had packed his things to run away, but no. It was because he sleeps in there.
(but mostly things I want to keep with me)
