#TGCFReadAlong ch 16

I love that sqx's best idea on how to sneak into paradise manor is to pretend to be one of the numerous sexy female servants. Because of course it is. Xie Lian there to call out how much fun sqx is clearly having with the whole thing too, despite her complaints!

#TGCFReadAlong ch 16

ahhhhh, xl feels so GUILTY feeling about keeping secrets from hc and trying to get things from him!

I do wonder how the dungeon crawl would have gone if xl kept being the one to roll the dice. More successful and brief, I'm thinking!! And given the pause in xl's speech when he suggests sqx take over the dice-rolling, I wondered for a moment if xl knows it would have gone differently and has decided he's not willing to take advantage of what he got from hc to keep on secretly investigating like this. But then later he thinks to himself that if he rolled they would have ended up somewhere even worse. But do I TRUST xie lian's reporting of what he's thinking. (not usually.)

#TGCFReadAlong ch 16

sqx thinks that the series of dangerous adventures the dice arrays take the two of them on are a sign of how calculating hua cheng is, and xl thinks it's actually a sign of how mischievous he is, not calculating.

they're both biased, in different ways. he's BOTH. <3
