Grace’s Reviews > 相见欢 [Joyful Reunion] > Status Update

An entire chapter of boys just being boys—getting drunk, cussing out each others’ families, wrestling shirtless. Solid reminder that Duan Ling is, in fact, still a teenager.

Every single time when it’s a matter of life and death, you always appeared at my side. It’s probably what destiny had in store for us.

Trying hard not to be fooled by another “joyful reunion” here, but each one is so beautifully and emotionally written 🥹

My pace has slowed wayyyyy down on this and I’m starting to struggle with picking it up. I think we’re finally moving into the next big arc, but there was a lot of slow moving downtime in between then and now. Curious to see what’s coming in the next arc!

No spoilers plzzz! Each separation in this book hurts like hell, but I’m hoping there’s a time jump coming up soon just to give Duan Ling time to mature and not be so reliant on every older male he meets as a father figure. He feels too immature still for me to root for his romantic endeavors. I’m loving the character dev and its pacing, but he just needs a bit of solitary growth so he’s not codependent

Joyful Reunion, or, The adventures of Duan Ling and his flute-playing harem of dadd—

*ahem* ASSASSINS

Hopping into the ftl because I refuse to take a reading break 😤
