Even now, Tonghua posted on Weibo saying: Stop fighting, stop fighting, Xiaoyao’s true love is Xiang Liu.

Really?! This is such a comfort.

Do you mean hypothetically, if TH wrote this people will still argue or did this actually happened. 

I thought she avoid comments to confirm stuff to avoid fan wars.

Yes. My impression is that she never clearly states a stance, one way or another.

Even now, Tonghua posted on Weibo saying: Stop fighting, stop fighting, Xiaoyao’s true love is Xiang Liu. so what? Some people will still say: That's nonsense. I think you don't understand love at all. It was you who took away Xiaoyao because of your sexual desire. You don't know how to write. It's because you are incompetent.

Can you please share the link to this article? Is the person saying that "Assuming Tong Hua wrote this on Weibo", or that Tong Hua really did write this?

Thank you.

The actual text is this:

哪怕是现在桐华发条微博说:别争了别争了,小夭的挚爱是相柳。那又如何?照样会有人说:瞎扯八道,我看你根本就不懂爱情,是你自己yy相柳,把小夭夺舍了吧,你根本就不会写,是你没能力。 

Even if Tong Hua were to post on Weibo now saying, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, Xiao Yao's love of a lifetime is Xiang Liu", so what? There will still be people saying: What a load of rubbish. I think you don't understand love at all. You forced this on Xiao Yao based on your own preference for Xiang Liu. You totally don't know how to write, it is your own incompetence.

So basically the writer is just posing a hypothetical scenario.

I find it highly unlikely that she would come out and say something this definitive. Not when she went to great extent to keep the YaoLiu's love-line "hidden in plain sight"

Agreed. One of the closest we will ever get is from the character diagram which states that "Xiao Yao has love for Xiang Liu 有情 but mistakenly thinks that Xiang Liu hates her. ". The rest are obvious if we cared to look - the lovers bug never retaliating for 120+ years, her sexual arousal we see through Cang Xuan from when he drank her blood in the pool; the crystal globe and its significance; her mute response to the 4th question, and her behaviour around him, involuntary tenderness. Then again, I am preaching to the choir here.

Too good too be true.

I’m such a clown lol

You are DEFINITELY preaching to the choir in this place. Lol. However, I have seen a different interpretation of that whole Cang Xuan scene.  This interpretation said that Cang Xuan didn't actually experienced/felt Xiao Yao feelings in that moment, but rather he was interpretating it as arousal because he’s a man. Essentially, Xiao Yao wasn't aroused. Cang Xuan just think that she was.

I'm actually quite curious how the other side interprets some of these things that we see as obvious signs that Xiao Yao loves Xiang Liu.

Seriously?  CX, who hangs out at brothels, is sleeping with his guard, and has numerous wives, can't tell if a woman is aroused???

Who knew CX was such a loser lover?

Lord have mercy.

I mean ... WTF did they think she's experiencing that he 'mistakes' for arousal?

I get what they are trying to say but I feel it's not well thought out. What do they think XY thinks? Are they suggesting women don't feel arousal. It that the sensation is arousing to him but not XY. It's started on the book many times that she feels cool pleasure from the bites so I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude if CX is aroused then XY would too as she has and does with the bites.

Does he actually sleep with his guards? I thought he just act cozy as part of the act but they stay serving him in their original role.

There was a scene someone posted here with him and Xiao Xiao and she's laying next to him and he's stroking her hair, and I thought someone said, yes, they were sleeping together.

I thought that too, but it was her reaction after it, that had me convinced, one she would not have had if she felt nothing, remembering how he had fed on her various times before, even voluntarily offering her blood when he was wounded previously:

小六一直是一副任君采撷的无赖样子,突然间,他瑟缩了,身子往下滑了滑,双手下意识地想挡在胸前,可又立即控制住了自己的异样,依旧大大咧咧地坐着。

Xiao Liu had been acting like a rascal waiting to be picked on, but suddenly he shrunk and slid downwards. He unconsciously wanted to block his chest with both hands, but immediately controlled his abnormal behaviour, and remained seated there with a careless demeanour.

I think I'll pass. I think there is enough YaoLiu content to keep me occupied, as well as the leaked script. Rumours have it we might see S2 in Jan. Please let it be so... I need to move on.
