You are not the only one, there is constant lamenting going on here, every time he appears on screen. The first…
ZQ treated her well during his time tutoring her cousin. I think that's when he also started liking her because in the first extra, he thinks: even though he resolved to stay away from her, every time someone mentioned his achievements (like he got a job at Huayue Bank, he will have X and Y salary, he made this investment etc), he was looking at her to see her reaction, hoping she would have the same bright eyes she had when he cooked for her (remember our FL also asked her work roommates, would you think a guy likes you if he cooks for you?). She did see some signs of ZQ liking her back then, which is why she confessed. And abt him hoping to impress FL with his achievements - our FL never cared about money, it was only him that was insecure because of it. Both the drama and the book only mentioned some of their past interactions in passing and we just see ZQ from when he starts messing up. That being said, I still don't get his bad behaviour towards her
I'm just here to vent my frustrations so don't attack me okay?For starters, I still don't get why NXG ever liked…
He took her phone because FL said she was gonna call the interviewer to show them that she can annul YR's interview if she wants. But ultimately, FL put in different digits at the end, which is why the call didn't go through. FL decided not to go through that in the end, but just pretended
Deep Longing? Devotion? lmaoHow, where? "just because ..." Rong talking shit about and manipulating the…
I read the 2 books, but I still don't fully understand him🤣 There was even a side story about him, but it didn't help clear things up. Why did ZQ never deny the rumours of being with YR even after he decided to be with XG? He did read that message from XG where she apologised for confessing to him and said she wouldn't interfere in their relationship. Why did he say yes when she asked him "you can't stand me, right? You think I'm lazy etc..". He knows she thinks he hates her, yet the next second when he talks about his big grape, he expects her to know it was her. Illogical, honestly. I can't think of a justification. I hope we get more info from the drama on his POV, since the author is the screenwriter.
Basically her oppI can’t get over the comment he made about the heels she was wearing. If someone else wore…
I suddenly heard Zhuang Xu speak in a hollow voice “You didn’t use my thesis.”
The moment he spoke, my mental counting went awry. “Oh, it wouldn’t have been nice.”
I had assumed the conversation would end there. However, he was unexpectedly relentless “In what way?”
I was stumped. Did he want me to say that I was uncomfortable using it because he had intended it to be an apology on Rong Rong’s behalf?
“…. It is after all your work.”
“Really? You don’t want it because I authored it?” He had a questioning tone “During the holidays in Year Three, we were only just acquainted but you asked for my work as reference …”
But you didn’t give it to me back then I thought to myself bitterly. Furthermore, I had already written my own pathetic draft, it was merely an excuse to interact with you.
“… Just take it that I’ve become more matured.”
I didn’t want to dredge up memories of the past. Every single detail reeked of foolishness that made me want to bury myself in the earth. Thankfully, only both of us were privy to them.
Unless Rong Rong knew as well? Did he mention me whenever they were together? Did he tell her all the silly things I said to make her laugh?
This possibility was a dreadful jolt and I started slipping into a neverending vortex of what-ifs. I was void of all desire to continue walking with him. It was such a peaceful night on a vast, empty road. The surroundings were not appropriate for us at all.
I slowed down.
“You go on first. I can’t walk another step. You don’t have to wait for me.”
He halted and frowned at me “You … How pampered are you?”
… It was just an excuse …
His gaze fell on my feet and his forehead creases expressed his strong disapproval. “Why did you wear these shoes out? You only care about beauty and not …”
He must have sensed that his tone was inappropriate because he clammed his mouth shut.
I looked at my innocent fine strapped heels and couldn’t help feeling indignant on their behalf. “I didn’t expect to be walking tonight. Moreover, they are the latest trend. Everyone in the hostel has a similar pair.”
And if I didn’t recall wrongly, Rong Rong wore a similar pair herself tonight. Indeed, when one is displeasing to the eye, even what she wears will be criticised.
Basically her oppI can’t get over the comment he made about the heels she was wearing. If someone else wore…
Actually, in the book he also asked her "how pampered are you?" before that heel comment. Also, in the book, he didn't just find and translate some materials, he wrote a whole new thesis for her. Let me paste the passage:
She will. She'll get over him soon. Actually, she's already started to like our ML, but just didn't realise. But take into account that she liked ZX for 2 years, but only met LSY for like 2 months. It's actually pretty fast to get over a long love. Also, ZX was pretty nice to her before she confessed to him, he even cooked for her back when he was tutoring her cousin.
JerkXu is second least liked person on this page. Most disliked is SnakeRong 🐍
But Yu Rong also didn't confess to Zhuang Xu because he's poor. So it is not because ZX is stringing her along, she wouldn't have made a move anyway because she looked down on him. Until, he becomes more successful. And she told FL there's nothing between them, on one hand(before FL confessed to him), and, on the other hand, she attacks FL at every turn (when FL is innocent).
And abt him hoping to impress FL with his achievements - our FL never cared about money, it was only him that was insecure because of it.

and it hurt her, him being the person she likes
