To My Shore Episode 13

I think I'm confused?

Fan Xiao was being nothing but a horrible, manipulative, controlling character for the previous episodes. But this episode he's supposed to be back to normal I think? Why did he tell You Shulang that Bai Ting died when she didn't, is he trying to speed run his thousandth breakup? Also when he told Shulang that Bai Ting died it implied that her death was a result of Fan Xiao's interference. Our empathic You Shulang should've gone completely insane but he freaks out about it for a bit before talking about how much he used to love Fan Xiao. And then they make out? Fan Xiao didn't seem willing to change last episode at all like they'd give us hope that he would by making us sympathise with his trauma and then making him go back to his old ways, making me think he will never change. This episode he easily "turns" himself in? I thought he would get arrested but he's just not dirt rich now, for all I know he's still insane. Poor and middle class people can stalk too! Considering that this is one of the last episodes, I expected their romance to re-ignite even if I really don't want it to, but this just feels too quick. It's already making Fan Xiao look like a humble, in-love guy rather than the insane guy he was just a second ago!! It's hard for the viewer to trust him and I personally still feel so disgusted that while it's not directly harmful like before, Fan Xiao was and likely is still pulling the strings around You Shulang's life. He sort of got him to adopt Tiantian and said that if Shulang didn't adopt him, he would. Man leave the kid out of this. I'm gonna be so disappointed when Fan Xiao inevitably becomes a dad by getting with Shulang and therefore raising Tiantian with him. He treats his crush as an object to own, how the hell is he going to treat his son. Also Bai Tings story is a little confusing too, she's saying Fan Xioa helped her by getting her family to back off her. But in episode 10, the bridge scene, didn't Fan Xiao set it up so that Bai Ting's family would take her away and she'd call Shulang as a way of threatening him? So didn't he solve the problem he was the catalyst for?? Does this also mean that Fan Xiao's family is gone for good? Because if so I'm a bit sad since I expected them to be the big villains besides Fan Xiao. It sure felt like they were going to be like that too! I know his redemption (if he's even worthy of it so quickly) arc has started but I can't help but wonder if he also orchestrated those chance meetings with Fan Xiao post-humbling. Even the scene where he made Shulang send the incriminating email felt like a tactic to guilt trip him. I feel like he already crossed a line by finding out where Shulang lives and laying those bricks even if it was a kind act. Imagine your ex doing that, it would seem a bit creepy. That final scene where Fan Xiao is the waiter set off alarms in my head because if felt like after so much time apart he took the crumbs of their meeting at the pharmacy and is taking it further by being a waiter at the restaurant You Shulang was going to. I know it's gonna be just another coincidence but man you introduce the most controlling character I've ever seen and you can't expect me to not be worried when he keeps meeting the guy he's stalked before "by chance". You Shulang also talks about how bad Fan Xiao let him down... He's done this in the past 3 episodes and he had the audacity to not send the email on his own after that. Fan Xiao doesn't even get arrested so it didn't really do too much. They better get together next episode because I'm gonna go insane if I see You Shulang reject Fan Xiao for the 100th time knowing damn well they're endgame!!! I DON'T WANT THEM TO GET TOGETHER SO SPARE ME THE SLOW BURN PLEASE

this was a bitter sweet ep & no, i didn't…

this was a bitter sweet ep & no, i didn't feel sad or bad for Fan Xiao, even though on some subconscious level i do feel for him, but not enough for me to want Shu Lang forgiving him anytime soon (even though there only got 2 more eps to go) so sooner or later, they will end up together. but i think Shu Lang needs time to heal & just enjoy his freedom - which after even a short period of time with the oppressive, obsessive, possessive sociopath that was Fan Xiao, anyone would need time to heal mentally ! *****************************************************************************************************************************so this ep was basically Shu Lang's freedom & healing with the knowledge that Bai Ting is alive & well, that his work is his own & that he has family that loves him unconditionally in Tiantian. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw given Fan Xiao's personality i am wondering if Shu Lang suddenly bumping into him, is just a coincidence or all orchestrated - cause i doubt there was a moment where Fan Xiao didn't know where Shu Lang was, after they parted ways. so after everything we have seen, i don't think i could ever truly trust Fan Xiao & i wasn't the person wronged like Shu Lang, so can he every truly ever trust him enough to take him back?!??? idk - & now that he has a child dependent on him, in reality he never would chance it IMO
