Even though I know why most readers find these characters dense, I still don't understand how you can put the blinders on yourself so thoroughly as to not see how both Wei Wuxian and Shen Qingqiu are self-aware characters acknowledged in-story as decently intelligent and and perceptive. It would be weirder if they didn't have the misconceptions they did for their MLs (Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu especially...Shen Qingqiu would edge on the border of jackass if he didn't assume the poor kid would be hurt, betrayed, and angry that the teacher he trusted stabbed him and shoved him into hell). And I wouldn't have devoted so much time to the MDZS fandom if Wei Wuxian really was as dense as BL protags tend to be. In fact, I liked how the misconceptions in this case weren't overblown drama, but quite reasonable given each character's personality and their past with the other party.

(And I am just going to state for the record that if they think your comment was impolite, then they will find the passive aggressiveness that I am capable of absolutely repulsive, lol. I don't like conflict, but when I get annoyed enough, it happens. You were very reasonable, on the other hand.)
