i feel like that four year time jump was so jarring lol they went from fuck buddies to basically newlyweds

...........is haoran also trafficking people ?? because right in chapter one he says he's a scout. as in he scouts people to sell off. is there a scene in a different chapter i've forgotten that recontextualizes that ?? i feel like there must be, considering the story deals so heavily with the trauma he has from being a trafficked.................so surely they wouldn't just brush over him doing that himself
