The double meaning of "Goodbye, Chengxiaoshi" in Chinese

I saw a post where someone speculated that in episode 10, what little guang said to big cheng xiaoshi was 再见程小时 ("goodbye", chengxhiaoshi). This would be the same phrase as the title of that diary in the season 3 OP.

I felt so stupid because I just realized the other interpretation of the word 再见 ("goodbye "). In Chinese, 再 means "again" and 见 means "to see." 再见 literally means "see you again." It took me so long to realize because in casual speech/writing, 再见 is rarely used because it's too formal. So most people would think of 再见 as "farewell" or a long sendoff. It's funny because I always thought of 再见程小时 as rest in peace, Chengxiaoshi, as if Lu Guang is learning to move on from his death or something. But maybe he's trying to say "see you again, Cheng Xiaoshi!"

Maybe they have hope and this isn't a doomed yaoi!!

S3E1 they probably skipped a graphic scene and the implication is disturbing

Because it mentions violence against children, I put a spoiler over it. Let me know if it crosses a line as an observation because I do feel kind of wrong pointing it out.

It was gut wrenching enough to be shown the abuse that occurred in episode 1... On the first watch, when Lu Dashan told him to get up it felt like the end of it.

But at that point Lu guang only had a bloody nose. So why is it that in the scene immediately afterwards, he's thrown into the room with bruises all over his body..

It makes you wonder what had happened in between these two scenes for him to end up like this wtf

Im chronically on Rednote so I accidentally saw spoilers from the season 3 live premiere in Shanghai… >!When i saw the first PV of LG in his childhood with the scar on his arm I was fully denying the possibility that someone might’ve done it to him. i thought he fell.!<

>!never would i imagine that LG (my favorite character in the world) was a victim of school bullying and domestic abuse..!< idk why this show has such a big effect on my emotions but i’ve been feeling unwell this entire morning and i need someone to talk to after we watch the first episode. thanks.
