Tbh, I kind of understand why the ML said those to the MC (chpter42)
When you've just lose your parents and gave up on living and can't bare the pain and tries to attempt suicide but then somebody stops you from doing it.
Then acts all nice and caring towards you, all smily smily witout evn thinking of asking why you attempted suicide or have a proper short conversation. I myself would be annoyed at first too.(Evn tho it was on a good action, the feelings and pain won't agree with the situation and misunderstand the kindness.)
When MC said about the orphan thing. It also hit hard on me too.
Orphans specially who were abondand or lost their parents at a very young age does not remember their parents faces when they grow up. They may miss them but they don't remember or know their faces and has been a long time that the gap may have been filled or have gotten accustomed to it.
But here MC just lost his parents, even rememberjng them hurts and pains him to the point he no longer wanted to live. Everytime he sleeps it haunts him, remember their faces also pains him so badly that he feels as though he has nothing left anymore.
Why am I explaining this?
From experience where I've never literally seen my mother's face since she passed away when I was only 2months old.
Father? Argh don't ask lmao, he remarriedidk him.

We're kinda in the mid of the story rn.
Like the "start" mid "end".
Yes his spore is in the lighthouse.
One of the kids is infected and turns into a bee like
The doctor/teacher?(I forgot) Turns into a big bee too.
Later he finds his spore then runs away, but meets lu feng out in the woods again.

This topic may contain spoiler
wasn't it like the caretaker of the children or so as well. WAIT wasn't it the mom of lu feng??? i read the novel some time ago so I'm not 100% sure but yeah there was this garden place with kids and women taking care of them. they got infected, but little mushroom can't get infected.

Ahhh you just exposed that it was lu fengs mother(@_@;).
Its a spoiler, we don't need to gooooo intooo detail, some may like spoilers but not detail ones that y I didn't mentioned who she was.
But yes caretaker of the children. But the infection was bought in by 1 kid at first and that's how it spreaded to all the other kids and the people.
My brain is trying to tell me I should just go do maths bcoz the plot is getting harder for me to process
