It’s chapters like this one that really make you step back and think about how far Qiu has come. He still has emotional outbursts but has definitely matured in the sense that he can look at himself as someone who can/wants change for the better. Like @miercoles said, uncle Pan just seems to be far off in another world. His past experiences (and clearly traumas since he’s so walled off and averse to real emotional connection) make it easy for him to recognize what Qiu is going through and brush it off since it’s nothing new to him... and let’s be real, why would uncle Pan seriously enter into a relationship with someone 18 years younger than him when he knows what it’s like to be young, and probably what it feels like to be left in the dust by someone who was keeping their options open. Uncle Pan and Qiu are just in different stages of their lives. I hate to call them incompatible because they can definitely learn a thing or two from each other but... I have no idea how they can patch it up successfully. Boo 😞
