Alike, in that she wants nothing except the best for Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo wants a better life - even a good life - for Nanya and Wanwan; he might want other things from her, but what help he wants to offer isn't conditional on her giving him anything in return.

Consider his "trivial" offerings: a cassette with rock songs he likes ( that standard exchange/love token of a different generation) and that she listens to; flowers, which she said she planted but he mustn't give her more; that tape with his reading poetry for her, which she didn't throw away, even if she did use it for other purposes.

(The one trivial includes all the other things, such as taking care of Wanwan, taking a beating from Xu Yi etc).

And now consider Nanya: with Xu Yi, she tore up film tickets, left the flowers outside her door (which is why I'm convinced that that fateful night when Hu Lifan was killed, what happened later wasn't gratitude, adrenaline or resignation - it was rape). With Dr. Jiang, she tries to be tactful when he tries it on with her during her daughter's consultation, because she's perfectly aware he wants her like she's an object.

Fanglu, now. She knows what he is, and when he comes to see her after she's released, with a box of groceries, and says not one word out of line - when he turns around and you think he's going to say, 'You can call me anytime', what he says is, 'You can call the police anytime'.

But Nanya is perfectly aware that it's an offering in exactly the same way as the other things offered by Xu Yi and Dr. Jiang were.

And so she leaves the box where it was.

Nanya has been unwavering and consistent in how she approaches relationships. You could call it 'steadfast' and you would be right.

She is steadfast in the way that Zhou Luo is steadfast.

Made in 2017

Finally done with this too! I am sure that’s not how you are supposed to hold the knitting sticks, but i was desperate while sketching the pose Also, this my first time drawing old Nanya, yay! Love how the yarn ball is the same color as her younger-self’s hair color

I am kind of both satisfied and dissatisfied by this one. First of all i drew the rocking chair, design is lame, but i actually drew it and i like it, and i actually drew character sitting on it and it looks natural. Also, it was supposed to be in a simple frame and i decided to add the grapevine (which was supposed to be wisteria in the beginning), also the random squirrel? Just decided to add one out of nowhere
