I can't take it anymore also, man I really love the art. Simple but looks great.

Dammit Song Li you big dense autistic lesbian, you missed the kiss!

Guess gay feelings were always her inspiration, before it was sad gay feelings due to a lost love, but now she have new happy gay feelings with taste of carrot to be her new inspiration

It's nice that neither is dense and actually understand what is happening, Song Li being a lesbian was pretty clear for a while, but I always wondered if Hu Laibo was gonna be dense about it and not realize what feelings are blooming between them, so it's really nice to see she was gonna accept the kiss and got disappointed

Song Li is now powered by lesbianism. Stand by as she cooks up a steamy masterpiece, the dommy is at work 😤

I have two questions and I hope someone can answer them:

1. Hu Laibo knows Song Li is a lesbian?
2. In China do they use the term "coming out of the closet" like we do in the west? I don't mean a equivalent, but literally coming out of the closet as coming out as gay.

Reason I'm asking is because Hu Laibo was hiding inside Song Li closet, Song Li did a kabedon in the closet which made Hu Laibo think she was gonna get kissed, but then when she realized she wasn't she ran away.

Now, I don't know if it's just a coincidence because in China they use different terms or if author is just not being subtle at all, but Hu Laibo did basically literally came out of closet for Song Li

1. Kinda. It's unclear at this stage if even Song Li is fully aware she's a lesbian. (also I've read through the series enough the order of events start blurring together and I don't want to accidently spoil anything.
2. They use 出柜 (chūguì). Which literally means "(to come) out of the closet". It's borrowed from English. So the metaphor still works.

Yeah I can imagine how everything blurs together lol, if I had to guess Song Li do know for a fact she loved a woman before, no illusions about that, but like in a lot of asian works she never really considered herself a lesbian or questioned her sexuality much, it just happened that she fell in love with a woman.

A lot of asian works seems to love doing that

Oh so maybe the author really was rubbing it in our face, cause the visual was just too obvious

Thanks for the answer @amShepherd

♾️ "To my Song Li" 🥕

Who is that from? Is it a half-confession? It's blatant and unsigned (?) though? Isn't Youyou is trying to set up Song Li with her crush? But it's probably auntie carrot? Either way, mission success. Handwriting isn't a kid who scribbles I just want to be sure

Even more: Song Li nearly kissing her semi-closeted crush over a photo of her previous love which distracted her. She put the memories out of reach, and channeled the new love all night. Not so closeted anymore, hm~

Maybe her confidence was helped by a sign (?) that her love is mutual (real).

Oh dang, "To my Song Li", good catch cause it completely flew over my head

Going by how it's written I kinda of suspect it is from Hu Laibo, and technically it is signed with the drawing of a carrot, which I feel makes since she accepted that as her nickname, I do think that at bare minimum she knew what was written in case Song You wrote it, now if it was meant as a confession is another issue altogether.

I don't think Song Li was trying to kiss her unfortunately, but I do think you're on point with everything else, even if she didn't do it consciously, but one can't run away from their gay feelings, they were just delayed, at least it helped with her book so there's that.

Sure glad you saw that piece of the series! Thx for the translation!

Yeah, I noticed that, and so did Song Li . . .

So, since we're asking the translator things . . . @amShepherd - the use of "my Song Li" in English has some really strong connotations, is that carried directly over from the Chinese or is there more ambiguity in the original? It's entirely possible to convey much more subtle meanings for that kind of thing in English, but it gets pretty wordy - I'm wondering if this is a really close match, or more like the closest option that fit in the visual context . . .

Yeah, I think that kiss was mostly living in a certain carrot-coloured head . . .

But! I think Song Li was not only aware of what she was doing, I think she was doing it deliberately to soften up Hu Laibo so she could take the picture away. Except it got into her brain (alongside that lovely birthday present) and lead to her sudden spurt of romantic inspiration, which I guess means Hu Laibo won that particular exchage? Even if she never finds out about her success . . .

Also, does anyone else think that's clearly a golden infinity symbol, which is a common symbol of autism? Because . . . I mean . . . Song Li, am I right? If that's intentional in any way I really have to give mad props to the author/artist . . .

The note is fairly direct. She uses 我的 (my/mine) (pronounced: wǒ de) and that's what Song Li repeats in the bubble after reading it. I think it's meant to be a counterpart to Song Li using 我们 (we/us) (pronounced: Wǒ men) in the previous chapter.

As @T-sama has shown. These authors can be pretty direct when they want to be.

Nice - it seems they're both not only aware of what's going on, they're actively choosing to participate . . .
