I dunno about frightened, he definitely looked confused, maybe he thought he 'belonged' exclusively to Chengyu. That's why I mention the circles they run in, it gives that vibe of rich guys running the show and everyone else who attends is there for sex or money or drugs or all three. We see this dynamic shown in plenty of het western movies/series, where the guy/s in charge will tell a girl or three to go over and 'keep someone company'. The reasons those girls are there are often not straitlaced, they didn't end up there because they're leading healthy/good lifestyles. Considering Chengyu's side piece didn't protest when Chengyu handed him over, I'm guessing he's also not a straitlaced person, probably got some dodgy shit going on and that's why he's running in those circles in the first place, sex is just like another form of transaction for people in those situations.
That's how I saw it anyway.
Also, if you watch the scene again, Chi Cheng wasn't insisting, he was gonna let it go (because I don't reckon he wants to fuck someone who he doesn't actively like because why would he?) but Chengyu offered the guy up anyway.

And then later we saw him rubbing up Chi Cheng's leg back at Chi Cheng's place, while sitting on the floor and touching his snake (lol that sounds like a rude pun it's literal) the atmosphere was strange, and I honestly wondered if he was on drugs or something, but they didn't elaborate on that guy much.

I think 'non consent' is in the context. I personally don't think Chi Cheng's personal sexual relationships involved non-consent. His fucked up dynamic with Chengyu and their 'rivalry' might have just inflated the rumors of Chi Cheng 'forcing' people.

This is just my take though, I'm not judging anyone who feels uncomfortable about this kind of thing, people have different levels of tolerance and/or perspectives on these issues.

Guy, guys. I just have to ask, do ya'll really think, with the kind of circles Chi Cheng runs in, that he's EVER actually had to force someone to have sex with him? Seriously.
Suowei is probably the first person to ever outright say NO to him, now he's down so bad.
I don't doubt that if it actually came to Chi Cheng trying to sleep with Xiaoshuai, as he conveniently threatened (knowing XS knows his reputation and knowing it'd be 'scary'), if Xiaoshuai had to tell him a hard no and push back, he would not follow through.

Just think about how epically surprised Chengyu was to get turned down by XS? Remember that slap? (I fucking loved that scene, it's on my profile's 'scenes that live rent free in my head' it was so damn good). These guys don't struggle to get laid ya'll, so who're they forcing? Pretty sure, according to what Chengyu said at the end of ep 10, all of the people who let Chi Cheng dick them down have been totes satisfied with their choice LOL

(this post is not about the scene from episode one, so keep your toys in your cots, that scene was fucked up, no two ways about it. This post is about Chi Cheng's personal and direct physical sexual engagements with people.)

I actually think he was talking about Chinese Traditional Medicine. (he is a doctor after all, probably knows about it even if he practiced modern medicine, many medical professionals in China will know about TCM from their parents and grandparents).

I reckon 'essence' is some kind of thing to help Suowei to become aroused, since he said he 'tried but couldn't'. Also, Chi Cheng referred to it as a mental block, which makes sense psychologically, Suowei is emotionally attracted to Chi Cheng, and he wants more but he's having trouble getting past the default of having considered himself straight, so the brain and the physical side are not copacetic, so he needs a push. I doubt they wouldn't have gone 'all the way' or at least further than kissing, (in the office or in the shower) if Suowei had, uh, been UP to it, if you know what I mean. LOL

"Chi Cheng and Cheng Yu? hell yesss" ~~ DITTO 100%

I LOVE IT when they don't take shit from the Unhinged® fans.

I'm GLAD we didn't have to hear him sing. I always skip singing in BLs, very annoying. I just feel bad for him filming the dancing scene with different music than they played back in the editing process, RIP Ziyu's rhythm. 😂

Gotta remember though, that wasn't bts, that was leaked footage, we were not supposed to be comparing the ep 10 scene with the footage we actually saw. if there'd been no leak, there'd be questioning the scenes extent.
I guess we'll see what bts footage we actually get from ep 10 this week.

I haven't seen arguments about it, just many people claiming it's cut just because it wasn't full body/more graphic. Did you consider that originally they wanted to make them say something and then decided it didn't work for the scene, or that audio was recorded during the scene and always intended to be used in the scene we see from outside the office for comedic effect, like they've panned out or cut away in previous scenes?

If by some chance it was cut, I'd be very surprised because to me the scene didn't feel cut, especially since we're only on episode 10 and they're still building up to Chi Cheng and Suo Wei's first time. It also makes no sense to cut away when there's a scene where Chi Cheng's hand went down the back of Suo Wei's pants lol

Doesn't matter if someone doesn't like it, that's all good, this shit is all subjective to taste anyway. It's about saying it's censored and cut when there's no proof of that. So they didn't edit it like some people hoped, i.e not graphic enough, but that doesn't mean the scene was cut. Can't even count how many BLs out of Thailand, SK and Taiwan do the same kind of scene where everything is above the shoulders. It's not a revelation 😂

Eh, I guess Chinese BLs being censored before is going to have this annoying cloud of censor despair for a long time.

Many comments be like: oh noes the NC scene was cut/censored, oh noes, it was ruined, we didn't get to see what the footage (that some douchebag leaked and everyone happily glomped on to at the time despite leaking footage always being a dick move) it was supposed to be spicier or more graphic or...what?.......yeah, no, though.

For real, have you guys watched bts, any bts of shows? Or even specifically the bts of THIS show. They do multiple takes, they make multiple changes and scenes don't always and are not always meant to look like how the full scale filmed bts scene appears or happens. That's what the editing process is for, to add changes/music/effects to a scene so it looks like how they envision it to look, to bring the scene into the moment. I mean. Yo.

I'm over here just grateful none of the kisses are glacially slow motion with glowy filters all over the fucking place

Just, like, chill or something. The show is fine, nothing was cut. The scene was SO GOOD.

Gaga has improved their subs A LOT. Their subs beat YT for episode 10 by miles.

This show might as well be airing on Miller's Planet while we're waiting for it on Earth bro, this some time dilation shit

This is a standard in BL specifically, you ever read a BL novel or watched a BL show where the Top wasn't hung? 😂😂😂😂

I wanted to smack his stupid head!!😭

I'm SO mad at Suowei rn man, and not because he's not ready to sleep with Chi Cheng yet, that kind of sexual awakening will happen at different speeds for everyone who's facing it, and him struggling with it makes sense psychologically. This is not the first story I've been engrossed in that tackles dealing with the struggle of accepting homosexuality or bisexuality. I'm actually glad Suo Wei's not leaping into bed with Chi Cheng because that would not be believable.
My reason for being pissed at him is because his clueless ass somehow doesn't realize that Xiaoshuai actually genuinely likes Chengyu!!!!!!!! Xiaoshuai has made token protests against Chengyu up to now, but did Suo Wei really not see past it? The snapping of the rose stem? The bitter tone of voice???? Xiaoshuai's reaction to his 'solution', hearing Chengyu will back off. Suo Wei apparently couldn't read a room if the walls had fucking writing on them.

The moment he rushed out and went to talk to Chengyu I was like 'nooooo you asshat, THAT'S not the solution.' At this point, imo, Suo Wei's best option is to communicate with Chi Cheng, to tell him they need to takes things slower, that he needs time to get there, not to keep up his stupid scheming, with how accommodating and gone on him he is, Chi Cheng is not going to say anything even remotely resembling a no. THE MAN WILL WAIT. Chi Cheng is likely only rushing ahead so harshly (and likely with half baked threats) is because of Souwei saying things like 'let's break up' and searching for ways to be straight again and he's WORRIED 🙄 Yeesh. Suowei can be quite smart but also pretty thickheaded.

WOW. I enjoyed this episode. Motherfucker. The wait for next week though, the wait is going to suuuuuck.

GUYS: all this back and forth about not sharing the NC scenes from ep 10 online, like, just don't. Don't share it, don't like it so it doesn't trend. The actors LIVE in China, they can still be given a hard time about this stuff because of the no-homo government, so just don't share nothing.

You won't die if you don't spam clips and likes on social media for one episode, and the show won't suffer for it either.

Let's enjoy episode 10 ya'll ✌️

I wouldn't be surprised if Chi Cheng just paid some dodgy locksmith to make him a key and Xiaoshuai doesn't even know and Suowei is just beyond asking questions by this point 😂😂

Just realized Chi Cheng just walks into the clinic in the middle of the night in ep 8 when he catches Suowei, like, who gave him a key? 😂

I think it's not that deep actually. But you know, in case you didn't realize, if something bothers you, you definitely shouldn't be spending so much time on it, it's bad for your health. Especially when ｎｏｂｏｄｙ ｃａｒｅｓ . The show will go on, everyone who wants to be here will still watch it and your blood pressure REALLY doesn't need that.

Ps: you miswrote g*ang, but you're angry so I get it.

See it wasn't so difficult to type it! I mean, you could have just typed gang r*pe if you're really determined to censor the word rape, gang is just a very normal noun. Gang of friends, gang of hoodlums, gang of rapists, Gangs of New York. You're fighting about this serious topic so intently, but you're so afraid of some nouns and verbs. Just own it.
