Hmm to me this feels somewhat finished. The chapter where he decides to tie his hair feels like an end and the next when you read his dad's story feels like a side story but it only leaves the question of whether she chose to go back or not. If you went on what she said to him at the end she made it seem like she would go back when he was better but that's counter to what she decided when that all went down she sacrificed that result for him so I really feel like she already decided and then when he ties his hair it really has a feel of an ending though it makes me wonder what truly happened to his mother?.
Also 156 to 160 are repeats.

Its messed up they changed the cover to something entirely unrelated. It makes things confusing when trying to remember what this is about.

I was wondering what was up with that cover. I was like, who are these people? Am I supposed to remember them?
**SPOILER**
And if you're having a hard time remembering, this story is about a guy (Cheng Ke) who does sand art for a living. He meets and befriends a thug-like guy who likes to fight (Jiang Yudou). Jiang Yudou had a seriously messed up childhood (him and a bunch of other kids were raised to be cage fighting dogs called "Puppies") which left him with severe trauma. Cheng Ke helps him and finally convinces him to go to therapy after another Puppy comes to find them and tries to fight them. It's a bit of a dark story, but super cute.
Personally I don't dislike their banter it's just the typical banter between two love birds/ slash rivals that have a lot of pent up frustration because they won't do anything to each other that's why Leon says their flirting. Also it's just a bunch of worry on both sides.
And I don't dislike the main guy because he's just insecure because she's the only one that's really been there for him or cared about him. It's in his past ark I don't remember all the details but he had it bad originally abusive parents I think maybe being on the streets maybe he feels like a gutter rat. I just remember it sounding really sad and then our girl earned his trust and only she did everyone else betrayed or hurt him to the point he lashes out first. He's the typical the world did me bad so I'm super cold yet I'm supposed to save the world trope character. You know the ones who'd rather end it because it's just sucked for them and they can't trust anymore and they refuse to get companions or they turn them into fodder or minions.
But in this story he gets a second chance and he finds out he was wrong he thought he was abandoned but he wasn't so he feels touched and amazed and many different feelings and even wants to return her but he also doesn't want to let her go. He's also afraid of being alone again because she was all he had. The only one he let in. The one who forced her way in. It's hard to let go of something super important to you when it's the only goodness you have ever known.
So in my opinion so what if he shows a little immaturity so does she and everyone else. But I just feel like it's fear and insecurity and all of them are feeling that.
