Also i have a bad feeling that Ding is being abused at home or something similar. I don't think we are near an ending.

Why else would Ding Yi be pursuing a relationship with a 34 year old woman? She has probably been sexually abused by a female family member.

Why female?

One thing I really like about this story is the way that, every time either the older lead or the audience start to take the younger girl for granted, think of her like a sort of placeholder or generic "young" person, she hits back hard.

Can someone explain to me why this still has the 'comedy' tag?

I swear this webtoon gets more beautiful every chapter.
And wow, Ding Yi is pretty mature, might be even more mature than Xiao Wei.

Lots of drama incoming

Wasn't there a time skip at some point early on? Was it just getting Ding Yi to a slightly more appropriate age, or was it retconned, or does anyone remember what happened there?

So... she's now scheduled to go overseas with her ex? I'm sure Ding Yi will be very happy about that!

I think it's her EX. The one before Yi and the one that smashed her heart at university

This manga is so enjoyable to read. The art, the details, the metaphors... are just beautiful. I really love the way the author portrays emotions and intentions.

Or specifically, Dr. Lu.

I tend to not like the long panel compositions in webtoons, but this artist does it really well. The visual metaphors, the colors and how they transition down from one panel to another makes each page look unified. There is also a good sense of rhythm between the dialogues and the panels and how they interact with one another (pg 13h is so damn wonderful). The use of a neutral palette for much of the normal narrative then highlights emotional parts with the warm colors is brilliant. Definitely the most aesthetically pleasing yuri.

I agree that we are not close to an end, but I also think that this story won't have a happy ending. And I don't think it should. Maybe a ray of hope is the best we can aspire to...

It's interesting how Wei Wei and Dr. Whatshisface are both not only in the closet, they're apparently using each other as mutual beards. The younger generation Ding Yi, on the other hand, is way more like "fuck staying in the closet, we shouldn't be ashamed of anything." That's theoretically what Wei Wei wants, just not really with Ding Yi. Or maybe yes with Ding Yi, but she's not overcome with self-hatred to admit it unless she's really pushed.

If you're talking about the initial bit where she's at her friend's mother's place, I don't think it's a significant time skip. It's just an inverted teasing approach to the storytelling, where you have her shortly after the scene in the mountains thinking back to it and reacting to it. I'm pretty sure it's still previous to her possibly going abroad, and probably before the scene near the end where she finds out who would be going with her. Meanwhile my money is strongly on the final pool scene being a flashback, fairly far back at that. The ex, as people have been saying.
Does that make sense?

In chapter 10, Xiou Ou remarks that it's been 3 months since Wei Wei and Ding Yi started dating, and it's been about a week since (ch10 to ch13). There was a minor time skip (ch8) but it hasn't been near long enough for the age gap to be any more or less appropriate than before.

Dr. Wei can still refuse the trip to abroad (especially not with her ex girlfriend) it's not like she needed it since she's already an ophtha consultant, I presumed. I think it's only needed if you want to have a higher position in a hospital, like a decoration in your resume. It's nice to know that she still continues her relationship with Ding Yi, but the problem is she's still a minor, and if the authority/society founds out about it then it will really put a dent on her career as a doctor. I don't know what's the age of consent in China, so I searched for it https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/china , assuming since the author is from Beijing. I don't know if that is a reliable website so feel free to put some insight.

Ding Yi has such an amazing skill to avoid talking about herself...

That is correct I'm pretty sure, 14 where the author is from.

These ages aren't about whether it's wrong or right mind you just about the law regarding things such as statutory rape.

The doctor is so hot. I love her style.

wooooowww that cliff hanger

Is that as accurate as the much-repeated idea that age of consent is 13 in Japan, where in fact that's only what the penal code says; there are other relevant laws both nationally and locally that make the age 18 instead?

Still beautiful. Still uncomfortable.

Gah! I don't care how mature Ding Yi seems at times. She just too young and too vulnerable to me. I don't see one angle on this relationship that reads "healthy".

Clearly Ding Yi's had some experiences--has a perspective on thing that makes here appear older or more mature in ways, but she's not. It seems older people are often caught off guard by the astuteness of younger people. Before a child leaves the single digits they have the mental skills and capacity to make "profound" intellectual and emotional observations. Psychologically, however, they're still children. More vulnerable. More impressionable. There are chemical, hormonal maturations that have yet to take place.

Age of consent aside, I just don't see how this relationship balances in terms of dependency. They both have dependency issues, but Ding Yi seems more inherently dependent to me. High schooler. Detached from family (i.e., lacking her own support system).

I just--Wei wei is such a tragic protagonist. She is in a precarious position. Does not know what she's doing. So real.

This story, man...

As far as i am aware China does not have a similar law. Hong Kong is 16 though.

If you look up age of consent in Japan it does mention the relevant laws you mention.

Damn, the expressions and art style in this is beautiful. Considering getting a print done of some of these pages or panels... Wow, it's just breathtaking.

If Wei Wei and Ding Yi don't get together in the end I hope Jaeliu steps on a Lego

It's still something one wouldn't throw easily for a relationship that isn't going on for that long. Especially if it means the possibility of coming together again with the girl of your dreams. Not saying that this would be the right decission, more than as a lover Wei has in my eyes in this moment a responsibility as an adult to stay with this girls whose only attachment figure she is.

And yeah, the age of consent sees to be 14 in china. I'm surprised that many of you have a hard time believing this, but I guess I'm maybe just not surprised by that because in my country age of consent is 14 as well and in many parts of europe its 14 or 15, with cases where it is 17 already being really high.
Personally, I'm more surprised with americans, who totally overreact with stuff like this and even call guys who have sex with 17 year olds pedophiles.
