Can someone please fill me in on the lore?

So basically, there's a price for letting He Tian spend time with Little Mo. Remember that time his brother locked him up? In exchange for letting him go, he goes abroad to his parents and study there I guess? And that would take a long time. There was this one special Christmas chapter where Little Mo was working in a convenience store and He Tian visiting him like nothing happened, and as always he bothers him and they go to Little Mo's house and kabedons him in the bed. That timeline is where He Tian goes home from abroad. I saw someone say that a few years ago.

No this doesn't have a novel, and yeah this is just a theory but I can see that it's true. If you look at the special chapters and extras, they're actually connected. They are the future timelines. Some official arts are also future timelines. You can see that they have couple rings. And there's this theory that says they're actually gonna form a band, which backfired when they were in high school cause they can't play any instruments. There are posts on social media(I forgot what app specifically cause it was a long time ago) that explains the whole connection of the story of the special, extras and official arts but I lost the link to it.

Well, we don't really know the actual timelines. Maybe the specials and extras are actually the present ones, not the future. And the ones ongoing rn are the pasts and not the present. This is a slice of life so it's really hard to differentiate them. Just think of the ongoing one as the present, and the specials and extras the future, and the flashbacks as past when they were students. Try to read only the specials and extras to fully understand the flow of the timeline so you don't get confused. The only problem is that the chapters doesn't have a title until the special chapter 378.
Okay so hear me out
