I'll add a little bit more context from the novel. After the bathtub sex with Fan Xiao, You Shulang was feeling…
Actually you are wrong about the kiss. It's mentioned in the first extra chapter of the novel. From the novel:
"The youth was stunned, while Lu Bowen glared with rage.
Fan Xiao put on an expression of belated regret: "This kiid doesn't know yet that you and You Shulang aren't a real couple? I thought....My apologies, I spoke out of turn."
.....
Also:
"Fan Xiao wedged a leg and a voice full of grievance into the narrowing gap of the closing door: "I'm not being baselessly jealous. You two.....on Chinese New Year's day....."
"We didn't kiss." You Shulang used his foot to kick Fan Xiao's leg out, "It was just a staged angle."
The heavy metal door finally clicked shut. Fan Xiao leaned against the door with a smile; he rapped his knuckles against the door panel a few times, saying softly and slowly: "I know you didn't kiss, but I just wanted to hear you say it with your own mouth."
Okay so. Fair warning. This is going to be a long one. I have a lot of thoughts and Iβm not sure Iβve fully…
Thank you very much for this insightful comment. That's the reason why I return to this comment section, in hope to read something that makes me understand the drama better.
