The Little Sweet Cutie Always Think That He Is a Stand-in Chapter 109 Discussion

I like it is sweet, though sometimes I think Song Zhixu is neglectful of Ran Ran and a little bit selfish. He says he cares a lot and would give Lin Ran anything, but once 'that something Lin Ran asks' troubles his interests, he doesn't really fulfill it.

This is just my opinion, to be honest, what made me uncomfortable. Yes, Song Zhixu was dedicated to Ran Ran, but some of his mistakes happened out of (s*upid) jealousy, like spoilers 2 and 3.

I really believe Lin Ran is not to blame, he has a disability and has not much understanding of the world, his interaction with it is limited (sometimes due to SZX) and he is made by him to... Well, stay still and do what he orders. He comes from a toxic envorinment and a broken familiy (dunno if that's spoiler). And has little understanding of what is like to interact healthily with a human being.

He is so old, but has only started to deal with his trauma, which means he will obviously not heal right away, it's a slow process, he can't be blamed for having unpredicable behaviours since, first of all, human behaviour is unpredictable and second of all he is dealing with trauma.

SZX has a lot to learn about how to interact with Lin Ran so both can grow emotionally and as a couple and he tries, that's what I like about him, that he tries to understand Lin Ran and get better, but only till the part it makes him comfortable (not always, again.)

Spoiler

Like leaving more than one time Lin Ran alone or at home even though he already knew Ran Ran got anxious with that. (I mean, after the first incidents)

Spoiler

Like leaving Lin Ran's fish with the turtles which ended up eaten because of that, leaving Lin Ran sad and kind of traumatized. Which happened because he freaking put them together due to the fact he wanted to get Lin Ran's attention, yet it was being 'stolen' by the fishes

[collapse]

Spoiler

Like not letting Lin Ran have a cat, because he (SZX) didn't want to (because he was jealous, didn't want the cat to take away Lin Ran's attention and later on he was overprotective due to his pregnancy), even though he (LR) clearly loves cats and his psychologist said it WOULD help him having one.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Like the time he put his mother's wish of "not letting your grandma know" before Lin Ran's mental health, preferring to put on an act than to listen to Lin Ran's opinions and wishes letting him feel anxious and distressed. (I know he changed afterwards, but had their grandma not discover them, that would have gone on)

[collapse]

Spoiler

And what's with him leaving when Lin Ran is asleep knowing clearly Lin Ran will wake up anxious and afraid Song Zhixu will no longer be there?!?!? Does it take to so much effort to:

Wake up, dress, wake up Lim Ran, say "I'm going to work" and then leaving?!

[collapse]

And what I like about the story is that the author actually addresses these problems as problems, SZX's overprotective character and how (badly) it affects Ran Ran.

Those are just some things that make me uncomfortable, but besides that, it is really nice. I love the story, Lin Ran is sweet and endearing.
