* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38254861/chapters/97319088#workskin makes sure I die first]]'', a frustrated Luo Binghe asks Liu Qingge what it will take for her to "take his side" instead of loving Shen Qingqiu, as he considers both of them scum. Liu Qingge fires back she's not a ''thing'' for men to quarrel over her ownership -- and the narrative implicitly points this is why Luo Binghe had no chance to ever make her bend to his craving for attention, since he doesn't even respect her agency when Shen Qingqiu always did.

---> Daniel is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. He can speak over thirty languages and can read and write dozens of dead ones. Don't you have any idea of the significance of that? And then there's the staggering amount of knowledge he has of archaeology, anthropology, and the history of languages. He has three Ph.D.s, all of which he earned by the time he reached his mid-twenties. But that's not even half of it. Daniel is capable of these... these enormous leaps of logic that, many times, have left me in the dust. He doesn't think linearly. When everyone else is still on A and B, he's jumped completely over the rest of the alphabet and reached Z. He's the kind of person who can think outside the box with ease, and, quite often, he's out there all by himself. If he'd gone into our fields of science, if that's where his talents lie, he'd make you look like an idiot.
