apathy

i genuinely have no idea. the scene kinda felt like a stuttering love at first sight kinda thing but at the same time it doesn’t make sense to me bcs wsw has a boyfriend who atp hes not having relationship problems with and who is, as you said, 100x more attractive so whooo knows. it does make sense for him to be feeling really nervous about being caught tho and hesitant to say who he was there to see since he doesn’t want anyone to know about that. it might be more clear the next ep

😭 yea when wsw was stuttering in the hallway just looking at him i was like ??? ¿¿¿ im still convinced he must just be nervous about almost getting caught bcs the math ain’t mathing for me. dude-bro vibes is accurate 😭😭. chi cheng and wsw deserve the hype tho

AGAJS i didn’t wanna say anything and maybe it’s bcs im a girl kisser so my standards are like too high or something but WZ literally just looks like just…a man to me 😭 but like you said good for anyone enjoying the visuals

as much as i wish cc would just tell wsw’s mom he can’t keep her illness a secret from wsw, i also can’t bring myself to fault someone who’s never been in a situation like this, and probably never even imagined one like this, for not handling it perfectly. like… chi cheng was a hothead like 5 minutes ago (wsw is why we’ve seen so much growth from him), so expecting him to suddenly navigate this super delicate, emotionally loaded situation perfectly is just not realistic. it’s really easy to say what someone should do when you’re on the outside, but when you’re actually in the situation and juggling your own emotions, other people’s expectations, grief, guilt, stress, it’s a completely different game.

he was like 19 at the time and apparently has never been in a relationship before. it’s possible he’s just a bad kisser bcs he lacks experience lol. he’s also done a bl before so idk

agree! he needs to just be upfront with wei’s mom that not telling her son will just hurt him more

i would like to be driving the train that hits him 😀

i don’t think his mental illness justifies anything actually, it’s just part of the explanation. it’s not like he was experiencing psychosis and so incapable of understanding right and wrong

realistically it’s a mixture of being caught off guard, having a slower reaction time bcs of his mental and physical exhaustion, narratively needing it to be long enough for wsw to see and misunderstand. it’s also possible we’re seeing it from wsw’s perspective and so it just looks longer than it is bcs he’s upset, but in the grand scheme of things it’s not like he stood there making out with him. he didn’t kiss back

i’m confused why ppl still think cc “deserves to suffer” for making wsw cry or whatever. listen i don’t love that he even acknowledges wang shuo’s existence, but their conversations aren’t problematic. he keeps it to wanting closure, nothing disrespectful. he was caught off guard by the kiss and pushed wang shuo off. like he’s in such a shitty situation rn trying to respect wsw’s mom’s wishes even to the detriment of his relationship. it’s obvious he wants to explain things to wsw so bad. like he’s suffering enough actually.

he didn’t actually sleep with chengyu he just makes it look like he did bcs he was jealous of their, admittedly, unusually close friendship. iirc cc called chengyu’s name out in his sleep, not bcs he’s romantically in love with him or anything but that’s what wang shuo thought. also, wang shuo is mentally ill, depression i think

i think he doesn’t even want to acknowledge that he’s genuinely upset by this yet, like he’s trying to protect his ego by pretending to be fine meanwhile he’s actually torn the tf up and has some residual self esteem issues bcs of yueyue

i thought i would be more upset with chi cheng this episode but i actually just feel bad for him. his future MIL has put him in the worst situation ever where he’s either forced to lie to his boyfriend or betray her trust like???? crazy situation to deal with on top of managing all the grief of knowing she’s dying ALLL alone bcs he can’t tell anybody and then on top of that he has his shit exhe never got closure from bothering the shit outta him and stirring trouble and his boyfriend inexplicably being flirty with that ex’s brother omg i would crash tf out 😭😭😭 like this is an insane amount of pressure for one person with no easy solution

personally i would have poisoned him (kiddding mostly). i was really confused by it at first but dr jiang’s explanation sorta made sense to me. if he’s with him, then he can’t be causing problems with cc or wsw.

wsw’s wishy washy behaviour in the series actually makes sense to me bcs he is confused, doesn’t really want to admit to himself his feelings out of pride and, like you said, internalized homophobia, but his infidelity in the novel makes 0 sense to me, and all i can do is hope they tone it down in the series. i agree, his interactions with wang zhen started to feel more like an emotional affair than just thinking wang zhen is cool. it’s also really obvious to wsw and everyone else that wang zhen likes him romantically (even though wang zhen doesn’t admit, i think), which wsw does literally nothing to discourage lol. honestly , id break up with him if i were cc

well i guess it depends on how you define cheating. he doesn’t have sex with anyone else or kiss anyone else, but how he acts is shady *to me*. he lets a woman from work, knowing she’s flirting with him, rest her breasts against him and touch his leg, has fantasies about her being topless and then goes to tug one out bcs of it. ik everyone is excited for his idol wang zhen too, but idk he was acting kinda sus with him imo. it definitely felt like a crush, like there’s a scene where cc makes him keep a vibrator inside him and when he’s interacting with wang zhen he seems to be a bit more turned on by it ? like when wang zhen touches his hand and stuff . idk made me uncomfy lol

ziyu dubbed his own voice but i’m pretty sure all the other voices are voice actors. ik for sure chi cheng’s voice is a voice actor’s

yes 😭😭 like despite being mostly prim and proper on mdl im pretty freaky irl but that shit was too much even for me. the sex is too violent and freaked out for my tastes…like wax is going places it was never meant to go i- , cc is like physically abusive sometimes esp when he’s jealous, wsw is constantly cheating, chi cheng and chengyu got something sexual going on lowkey, the random racism… like hold on savannah slow down

when the author said not to read the book she’s so right 😭 the more i read the bigger my ick. i’m gonna need to wipe my memory by rewatching the series 💀

this isn’t bad but i feel like the pacing is too quick? like they dropped the “teacher” plot device real fast, he’s already confessed lol. i want them to slow down a bit
