Why wasn't Ep 2 uploaded? And what is this authorization of friend's song all about?
Ah, okay. I don't know more than what he said in the link. But people who post content on YouTube earn money from ads that are inserted into the videos. The more views, the more money. If the uploader posts something that goes against YouTube's guidelines, like using copyrighted material or too much nudity, YouTube can decide to demonetise your channel, which means that you can't earn any money from it anymore. If I understand things correctly, Xiaole makes his series himself, with his friends, with no sponsorship or production company backing him, so this was devastating for him.
Unfortunately, Xialole got demonetised by YouTube without warning*, so the only thing we can do to help him is to spread the love. This is a no-profit amateur production, but made with dedication and love, so let's try and support him! *Apparently the reason is that he used his friend's music, despite the fact that he did so with permission, but there are no obvious channels to contest this decision.

The expressions on Sky's face before and after the kiss are golden. Before the kiss, his look is questioning,…
Yes, he definitely kisses him back. It's not a "so surprised that I froze" kind of reaction we are seeing; he is as much into is as Tong Fah is...until he isn't.
I'm still having a grand time, but Sib is getting worse, rather than better, in my opinion. Stalker, possessive,…
While I don't agree fully with your analysis of Nubsib, I do agree that Up is doing a fantastic job with Gene, he has his dorky, socially awkward and introverted character down pat.
I guess I see Nubsib and Gene's dynamic as a bit of a caredom-submissive thing -- we've seen it in their interactions, and Nubsib obviously figures that Gene needs a caretaker because he's really not taking care of himself properly. And Gene is sometimes pretty quick to submit, and the fact that he doesn't always do it makes me think it's a choice when he does.
Nubsib is pretty pushy and possessive in a way that borders on stalkery, but it's also clear to me that Gene is responding to it. I think Nubsib has figured out that if he politely suggested something and left the rest up to Gene, nothing would happen, because Gene doesn't know how to play that game, he's too shy and awkward, and will retract into his shell by default. So Nubsib is being extremely obvious and flirty and keeps pushing, but it's also very clear that he will totally respect a no, he wouldn't take advantage of Gene even when Gene was blind drunk and really coming on to him. That tell's me he's not pushing in order to get what he wants -- he's pushing in order to move things along so he can finally get reciprocation and consent. (I may be blinded by Kao's gorgeousness, but that's how I see things based on what we've seen so far.)
BUT. The way Nubsib has acted all possessively around Gene, telling him he shouldn't do this or that, is a problem now that he is seriously warning Gene away from Aoey, because Gene isn't taking it seriously. He thinks it's just more of the same, and shrugs it off. And Nubsib obviously hasn't told Gene everything, which is also a problem.

No subs, as of yet.
Does that make it clearer?
