[ID 1: Art of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. They are cooking something in the kitchen using a portable stove, in front of the window, where sunlight shines through. Their backs are to the viewer. Cheng Xiaoshi is laughing, head thrown back and a hand clutching his stomach, while Lu Guang is looking at him. Behind them is the kitchen island where there’s a plate of scrambled eggs, two bowls of rice, and two mugs with a cat and dog design. The overall art has warm tones. END ID]

[ID 2: A two-panel art of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. It is a continuation of the piece of them in the kitchen. The first panel is a close-up of Cheng Xiaoshi’s laughing face and the second is Lu Guang’s slightly stunned face. The overall art has warm tones. END ID]

If the theory that Cheng Xiaoshi also dived back in time during his and Lu Guang's basketball match, then I am so full of dread that means that he is going to die for real. I can't see him being alive if that's true, but I can totally see it being true.

Just...the fact that if it's true, he clearly didn't stay in the past long, and clapped out not long after. He only dived back to have that game of basketball with his new, old friend, and to say how precious it is to be with trustworthy partners in this life. He didn't dive back with intentions like Lu Guang did to change the past. He would have done it only to say something kind to his friend.

I just. I can picture a scene where Cheng Xiaoshi, realizing what is coming for him, and what he cannot avoid, echoing that one scene in S1 where he covers the walls around him with photos he had taken with Lu Guang. And then he dives into each one, one after the other in quick succession. But instead of using it to get the upper hand in a fight, he's diving in so he can give his best friend some love throughout the years, one last time, to give him lasting soft memories that will carry and comfort him in the future--much like Chen Xiao. And then just like that, he leaves.

Dive. Love you, Lu Guang. Dive. You're my best friend, Lu Guang. Dive. I'm so glad I got to be your friend. Dive. Thank you. Dive. Goodbye. I don't want to leave you without saying goodbye.

Eyes always on you

[I.D.: A drawing of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang cuddling. They have their arms and legs wrapped around each other. Beside this is a little image of two cats—one white and the other black—hugging each other while sleeping, similar to the boys. There’s also a screenshot of a Tumblr post that reads: “I love you so much I hope we get reborn as housecats who sleep together like puzzle pieces.”]
