Izabella 🪐's Reviews > The Husky and His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun (Novel) Vol. 5

** spoiler alert **

He had surely misheard. He was so ugly, so harsh, so clumsy with his words, so uninteresting. He was a total fool without a single redeeming quality. Who would like him?

"I like you."

…………… AHHHHHHHHHH

He covered Chu Wanning’s slender fingers. And then, one by one, he interlocked them with his own for the first time—their fingers folded together, their palms pressed close.

Blushing furiously, Chu Wanning turned his face even farther away. But this time he didn't try to struggle free. Holding onto Chu Wanning's hand, Mo Ran finally, belatedly, disbelievingly confirmed that Chu Wanning…liked him too.

Don’t play with me right now 🫵 What do you mean both Chu Wanning and Mo Ran actually realize that they like each other? That it’s reciprocated? On volume 5. Only volume 5? Shits about to go down.

Okay. Let’s take a step back and talk about this volume as a whole. First off, I think this might’ve been the wildest book so far. Shit after shit after shit just kept getting thrown out there. How did we start with a grand wedding about to take place to Song Qiutong being thrown aside, Ye Wangxi being revealed to be a girl (which was the spoiler that I was talking about in my last review but it was still a cool surprise), to finding out that the Rufeng Sect Leader is a rat bastard, to finding out Ye Wangxi’s foster father is actually also a rat bastard who’s been scheming the whole time, to Rufeng Sect burning down to the ground, to Mo Ran telling Chu Wanning he liked him.

I was so invested from the very beginning. All this plot had me jumping around my room in anticipation and excitement. But my oh my, questions were answered but new questions arise. Is there more to Mo Ran’s rebirth? Was someone else behind it and who? Who was the one helping Xu Shuanglin behind the scenes? Not to mention Shi Mei has been suspiciously quiet in this volume 🤨 (I’d just like to extend my early apology in the case that I keep slandering Shi Mei for no good reason. But my dude, I’m sorry, you’re just so sus) And I’m not unaware that there are still multiple volumes left, so what the hell is gonna happen??

"Ye Wangxi, you've done enough for Rufeng Sect." Gaze distant, Nangong Si raised a hand as if to wipe a speck of mud from Ye Wangxi's cheek. But in the end, he aborted the gesture.

Am I getting my hopes up when it comes to them? I love Ye Wangxi, and I started to love her even more in this volume, and I now am obsessed with her and Nangong Si, but I genuinely feel like I’m about to be let down. Does Nangong Si even like her back, I mean according to his father he doesn’t, but he so obviously cares for her and tries so hard to protect her. But I also feel like I’m building up this whole narrative to only be heartbroken and betrayed later on.

In the last lifetime, love had made him possessive, so he'd become selfish. In this one, love made him accepting, and thus he became selfless. He wouldn't, as he had in the past, attempt to imprison Chu Wanning or change him. This belated, pure love rendered the man who had once been Taxian-jun willing to serve, to spend the rest of this lifetime as Chu Wanning's companion and no more.

And after that insane series of events, major developments on the RanWan front. The last half of this volume was just them being ridiculously cute and dancing around each other’s feelings. But then!? Mo Ran took that leap and confessed?! And now he knows Chu Wanning loves him back?! This is too good to be true 💔 Tell me, what’s gonna stop them from being together? Chu Wanning’s severe insecurities? Mo Ran’s severe guilt from his past life? Or some random event that causes shit to hit the fan? I don’t know and I. Am. Nervous.
