another dongdong xixi (nickname) story. leizi was the one who said “dong” first, but of course, there’s a “ge” attached to it.
👤: they spoke when they passed each other. would you dare call him yu changxuan at this point?
🐰: no, no, no! i wouldn’t dare! i don’t have the nerve to do that. then i walked up and said, “could i have a minute of your time?” did you hear that, cheng lei?
🐺: okay, xixi.
🐰: cheng lei, come over here. cooperate nicely. did you hear that, cheng lei? what’s your real name again?
🐺: dong-ge.
🐰: ah, dong-ge.
another episode of these two being suspiciously comfortable with each other.
“pingjun will wake up. i will bring her back.”
#玉簟秋#thelamentofautumn 😭😭
THE CONVICTION IN HIS WORDS??? he refuses to accept that he might lose her, and even with his father's disapproval standing between them, his decision hasn't changed. he's not just hoping she'll wake up, he's holding on to that hope with everything he has...
EPISODE 23 PREVIEW:
Changxuan: “Do tell me if it hurts, don't hold it.”
Episode 23 is full of moments where he takes care of her, making sure she isn’t hurt and feels comfortable with him. ❤️❤️

thinking about how changxuan used to let his fear of losing pingjun turn into an insistence on keeping her by his side, and now he's here, gently telling her not to be afraid bc he'll stay with her… #thelamentofautumn
I CAN’T TAKE THIS TORTURE ANYMORE pls kill me😭
He went to such lengths for her mother, knows how important she is to her yet she didn’t take a second to doubt him?
WRITER STRAIGHT TO JAIL NO BAIL😭🤡
This mother only existed to torture Pj,1st with XT now CX
#TheLamentofAutumn
She may not have said it but her feelings for him are clear,When he came close she didn’t step back,only faltered, afraid he’d read her heart..while breaking things off, denying her feelings her eyes welled up only for tears to spill the moment he walked away
#TheLamentofAutumn
On a more serious note, consider what a girl, what a woman, had to endure in that era. Pingjun's mother was made a mistress without ever realizing it, until it was far too late; she fled while pregnant with Pingjun. To raise a child alone as a single mother, cast out by society, and yet still provide and care for that child with no one beside her, that is motherly love there.
That's why she warned Pingjun about Changxuan in the early episodes. What mother would want to see her daughter go through the same fate as her? It would be too cruel if Pingjun actually gave in to Changxuan's demands early and became his mistress
But yes, this scene brought me to tears. Mother and daughter endured so much. And what cuts deeper still is that she will soon lose her mother too, left utterly alone in this world. Even with her father and Changxuan still present, it is not the same. A mother is something else entirely, and once she is gone, that absence is a loneliness no one else can fill.
