Pardon me if this is a bit less metaish and coherent than usual but Mr Mousie and I celebrated my new job by going out and I had a yummy yummy and very strong and ery large drink so...
First, non-ship stiff. OK, that's officially a screwed-up family dynamic. And the worst father award goes to...
Pretty!
How do I love them? They are just so loving and supportive and sane and wonderful. I love it when he says he'd rather be sick than she was and she blows up at him because that would make her worry :) He's made her into a better person and she made him smarter and just - love. And she won't forgive anyone who misreats him - I love how she stands up for him when he won't, because he has a tendency to forgive everyone and to think the best of everyone, which is both a strength and a weakness. She is so tiny yet so fierce!
But of course, clouds loom. Oh, poor woobies. You know when you talk like this, something horrible is going to happen, right? It's basically the law of dramas.
Yup, all his teachers are dead, and her father's been framed for their murder, and with that, they are over. I love how it doesn't even occur to him to seek vendetta for their deaths against her, but of course they can't be together now when he wants to kill her father. Oh, how gorgeous is Hu Ge when he breaks?
And I love that she is heartbroken but she doesn't cling or gets mad - she understands. Oh, they are both so oddly mature, it kills me.
To be continued...
