残次品 [Can Ci Pin] by priest

no I seriously love this so much but this is my third time reading this and I think if I read it anymore I will lose all sanity and all connection to reality.

I already constantly reread my favorite passages, but it is the school year right now and I have horrible lulin tunnel vision and I fear if I continue I will fail all of my classes. I will be good and patient and wait for the official translation to come out so I can enjoy this again without feeling any inward guilt about reading this for the third time in less than two years. 

can ci pin I will always love you, lulin I will always love you. I will be back.
