Summer Trend - Ch. 21 - The Line Between Dependence And Like

[Highscoreec]

I personally feel that it is better to be rejected and be told no at once, instead of giving you the excuse that “you don't know your own feelings”.

that last one is like blaming the person for feeling the way they feel.

I agree with this completely. Telling someone they don’t know what their feelings are, is always such a cop out.

Su Gui was the one who opted to forcefully drag Yangyang’s feelings out into the open. To say this wasn’t a situation she never thought possible, given that fact, makes that premise faulty from the start. This wasn’t a confession sprung on her that she just had to react to on the spot. If she opted to ask Yangyang hoping to get soulagement, but didn’t consider that she actually loved her, then that suggests she should have given this action more thought before pulling the trigger. Regardless, telling someone they don’t know their own feelings is never the right response in this situation, so I personally feel she doesn’t deserve a pass for that.

To be clear, I don’t wish her any ill will. Let’s be honest, this is a misdemeanour when it comes to Yuri crimes lol. I also appreciate she gave the matter some considered thought afterwards! I just wish she did that BEFORE she decided to confront Yangyang if this is how she would respond.

Let me guess. Blonde is going to end up taking care of MC. They'll start to get closer. Big sis will get jealous. Big sis admits it to MC. Puts MC in an awkward position of having to choose.

You heard it here first

I was hoping she realized why Yangyang distanced herself. It's kind of Su Gui's fault that she pried back into Yangyang's life. This was painful but inject more into my veins, please! Very interested in what Yangyang's progression will be and how Su Gui will eventually fall. Will it be too late for her? I low key would think it'd be funny if Yangyang and blondie confide in each other and fall in love but that's crack theory for sure.

Really dig the way this manhua is going about this romance—from the way Yangyang understands her own feelings, to Su Gui's confusion (the generation gap is real and significant, it's no wonder she's taking it the way she is, at least on the moment), to Jiang Sui's frankness about lesbian experience and culture—it all feels more rich and truer to life (at least to my past experiences) than a lot of other works in the space. Really quite nice, and I'm looking forward to how it progresses from here!

If you haven't read "Addicted to Her," that is another similarish premise (another Jiejie, and "younger sister"), and also absolutely wonderful for other reasons. These two feel like related series to me, and I like them both very much.

No you're right. I think we're thinking along the lines that yangyang and Blondie are both being rejected pretty strongly and will luck each other's wounds for a bit. Though I think Blondie is much stronger and persistent. She won't give up on the boss. I think she's gonna try and impart that thinking to yangyang.

Sui Gui's reaction makes sense, whether you like it or not.
After living with someone for so long and treating them as sisters, it is near impossible to view them in that light, especially if you are the one being depended on.

Story will likely shift into Su catching feelings for Yangyang and goes off from there but, while this chapter hurt a LOT, it makes sense narratively.
Look, Yuri and even Yuri-incest may be okay in fiction to some, but in the context of the story for the characters it is real life so Su's reaction makes sense.

This is looking good, I can't wait to see where it goes.
Updates are frequent too!~
