Love between Lines Episode 22 Reactions
the dynamic between our leads is unbelievably adorable, like their cuteness is actually unparalleled, but i'm kind of annoyed with all the secrets being kept from hu xiu. there's the incident with their fathers, her being tailed, and now this setup with "luna" his mom is pushing... these secrets are sure to cause conflict if xiao zhiyu isn't the one to tell her himself. and they're things she deserves to know. it feels like we;re barreling towards an annoying misunderstanding and if so, i hope our leads will have the maturity to sort out any miscommunications as they occur, rather than dragging them out

Episode 22 feels like the moment where pieces start quietly falling into place — and everyone realizes they’re being watched. Yu’s fear finally surfaces, and even without full explanations, Xiu begins to sense how deep his past still runs. I loved how her presence slowly turns his apartment into something warmer, something closer to home, maybe the first real one he’s had in years.Pei’s storyline grows darker and more complicated. Seeing him question his father for the first time, realizing how controlled his life has been, felt important. The tension between him and Yu no longer feels like simple rivalry, but two people circling the same truth from different sides.The framed photo of Yu and his father was such a quiet, heartfelt gesture — a moment of care that didn’t ask for words. At the same time, Yu’s mother suddenly stepping back into his life, complete with blind date plans, felt unsettling rather than comforting. It’s clear the calm won’t last much longer. This episode feels like the deep breath before everything breaks open.

Episode 22 feels like the honeymoon stage on the surface, but there’s tension humming underneath everything. After returning from their weekend trip, the ML connects the dots and realises the RL’s father has put someone on the FL — she’s being followed.
The ML talks the FL into staying at his place because he’s worried something will happen to her, and while I understand his instinct to protect, I’m also a little disappointed that he doesn’t just tell her the full truth: this is about her safety. Keeping her in the dark feels like a choice that’s going to backfire.
The ML confronts the RL and makes it clear what’s happening. The RL promises to protect her… but honestly, he can’t even protect himself. He confronts his father, gets slapped again, and then the RL’s father drops a line that changes everything: doesn’t he know who the FL’s father is? So there’s clearly a deeper connection between them that we still don’t fully understand.
Meanwhile, we get the softer side: the FL starts making herself at home, turning the ML’s cold apartment into something warmer and more lived-in. It’s domestic, gentle, and honestly really sweet. She even finds a photo of the ML and his father, gets him a frame, and tells him that when he’s ready, she wants to hear everything. That moment hit.
But the ML is still dragging his feet about his father, and I can’t shake the feeling it’s going to blow up in his face later.
And then there’s the ML’s mother… who somehow keeps “helping” in ways that make everything worse. She’s the one who accidentally put the RL’s father onto the FL in the first place, and now she thinks it’s a great idea to set the ML up on a blind date. Her efforts always seem to come with consequences for either the ML or the RL.
This episode is sweet on the surface, but it feels like all the secrets and family connections are quietly lining up for a very messy fallout.

That hug took Xiu by surprise but she knew he was very upset. She thought angry she left on her own but he revealed he was scared and briefly mentioned his dad’s disappearance. Gong and Zhao sleeping off wine.😂🤣 I think her day was spent in quiet solitude removing all hints of her husband from her phone. She can now move forward with no baggage to hinder her unexpectedly. When they get back Yu sees a Pei car tailing Xiu. I wish he would have said why he was in protective mode so she could be more wary when alone. She thinks he is super clingy because they are official. Her boxes barely make a presence in that huge room. 🤣 She is bringing in pieces of her personality and bringing life to his apartment. He now can feel welcomed home just seeing the mat she has at the door. I don’t know that Yu has had a sense of home since his dad died. Pei is looking into the financials even after his father’s beating. It is clear he was struck with that damn golf club. He is at least looking into his father’s activities and not blindly accepting them any more. Yu fools Pei by making him think Xiu is returning the meal carrier. Yu lets him know that Xiu is being tailed and lets Pei know this is how his father has always operated. Pei didn’t believe him but Yu gave him the license plate number and told him to check it himself. I don’t think he was aware of how tight a leash his father kept on things. The company that was being forced out is having money troubles. Pei knew the company couldn’t handle it and mocked the manager for not being able to eat the meal offered. When the guy threatens to tell about 20 years ago, he is summarily dismissed and removed from the premises with orders he can’t come back. Yu is still there and smirks while he sees the angry man storm out. He is already aware of why and will most likely meet with him soon. Pei confronts his father and finds out his aide is also a spy for dad. He now is aware of how little privacy he really has. He is thrown when his dad says the surveillance had nothing to do with him. He knows who Xiu’s father is and has told Pei. At Yu’s place Xiu has found the picture of Yu and his dad and has it specially framed. It is such a sweet gesture and he’s not quite sure how to respond to it. He does promise a future chat about his dad. When I expected that contractor to show up it is Gong at the office. He wants Yu to come back and make some corporate decisions. Yu basically tells him the company has been his all along and he is just a designer. Gong is a bit overwhelmed but you can see the wheels churning. He and Zhao will be great business partners. The last surprise is his mom showing up with food and mentioning a family dinner. She considers Pei off the market and wants to schedule a blind date for Yu. Luna is probably very pretty and well educated but she doesn’t stand a chance compared to Xiu. Gong is laughing his ass off at his boss’s predicament and sworn to secrecy. This woman. 😝She has left her son alone for 20 years and now wants to play mother matchmaker. She is as clueless about her son as he is about her. He should have come clean about Xiu right then, but he’s spread himself thin and not ready to deal with the family hurdle right now. This will bite him in the ass but it’s his call to make. Maybe Luna will be a good match for Pei? That might be interesting. I hope Yu gets some pleasant time with Xiu before the s hits the fan. Because it is coming and all too soon.
