Eimae:
My interpretation that despite her wanting to give it to HC, it’s out of fondness. She doesnt really have friends or families where she felt she belonged to that she can give the flower. Thus HC is like the closest thing to a friend or a family member. I dont think she had a crush or develop love toward him (she has the glass heart which turns to flesh and blood in the 10th reincarnation as XJ due to SF’s love)
well maybe you are right.. since god of war was created by bailin so basically god of war only know him.
But from my point of view.. somehow deep inside GOW still sharing with LHJD.. so maybe unconsciously GOW might like bailin too as he was the only one who bring her to heaven, gave her armour suit, dinkun sword, talk to her... thou the talking part maybe ask her to demolish demon... hahahaha
For the god of war giving the flower to bailin was siming story ep 28 when teng she want to burn his book
