I don't get her reason to get distant to him, someone enlighten me please?It's only normal for XZZ to get hurt…
In the line of c-entertainment, having a relationship with a fan is as much taboo as having an incest with a sibling. That's why Chen Feiyu got almost burned by the pix showing him dead to the world asleep with a fan gleefully taking selfies from the pillow... Both were young barely of age, and consenting adults, but that still became a big scandal to throw a pall on his innocent career. So, knowing the rules and not being in love with the chubby shorter classmate who her own sad event in childhood had made her totally forget then, Qin Fei viewed Xing Zhizhi as a possibly excessive fan who would only make trouble for her with his selfish and indiscreet trophy hunting. He was not very clear about his own long infatuation, perhaps tinged with resentment from the perception of having been misled and slighted when the little girl disappeared without an explanation or goodbye. He followed her career when he got wind of it, but did not want to intrude if she could not recognize him at first sight. Perhaps he wanted an apology, and she had no idea about it or how she could be expected to owe one ; she never felt she needed to apologize for becoming who she was, and was used to be ambushed by jealous rivals or distrusted and seen as insincere anyway, putting all her tribulations down to bad luck and sometimes losing her sense of purpose, sometimes in bouts of depression, wishing the bomb had not only stopped her first budding career but made an end to her life struggle altogether. She was not moved by good looks ; as an actress and in her line of business, she had been around enough pretty faces not to fall for looks only. And to protect herself, she had grown to trust only her faithful assistant. She was immediately wary of hidden motives from pursuers of all ages and genders who shouted they "loved" her. There are some misunderstandings and lies by omission or to "oil over" a rough patch (her own mourning) that caused their still lingering estrangement and inability to fully disclose their inner wounds, preventing them to get closer immediately. Since this is at least their third encounter (even if she was too groggy from blast to recognize him after the bomb went off, and sometimes had dizzy spells such as when she collapsed from exhaustion after her first rescue in Linkang area) I think she was touched by the stars episode, and by his care for the young patient, so she will start to think differently about him. She almost blurted out she wanted to see him again, back home from Linkang, but she chickened out. That's what I get from the episodes so far ; the story is from a novel, but I have not read it.
PS. What may appear illogical is that young Qin Fei sang the Molihua song with young Xin Zhizhi not too badly but that she grew to become almost tone deaf about singing when she staged the Mid Autumn show out of her own good heart and trust that she had at least singing as a forte. But some people do indeed have music in their heads and heart without being able to perform or sing without "help" or get their vocal cords damaged from illness or accident...
直到永远 (Forever) - 王靖雯 (Wang Jingwen)《你的谎言也动听 A Beautiful Lie》Chi/Eng/Pinyin lyrics:…
PeacheyBlossom, you already posted months ago the "You are the one" Liu Yuning song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF_wn4tose4 ; will you soon be posting the remaining two original songs, the one by Li Mengqi and the one by Qian Xi ?
Apparently yes, and Our Interpreter is said to be a remake of Les Interpretes, according to https://cnovelholic.com/drama-review/romance/our-interpreter-drama-review/
Having watched the three, my feeling is that they can be watched as totally independent dramas, each with a different focus. 2016 Les Interprètes was more about the personal struggle of an aspiring interpreter for empowerment (FL Yang Mi); 2018 Negotiator was about business disputes resolved through a technique that did not owe anything to translation or interpreting factually and focused heavily on the tribulations of the heir of an international company with insider business struggles and his sweet story with the chief negotiator (FL Yang Mi and ML Huang Zitao) ; 2024 Our Interpreter was about the limits and hopes of A.i. machine translation and interpreting through the experience of a conventional conference interpreter (played by Victoria Song) and a hi-tech engineer (played by Chen Xingxu), and the coming together sentimentally and technically of the two. Personally, I did not feel any continuity between those three dramas, watched over a period of years.
I am happy with what I watched so far. If you like, don't forget to start rating episodes, and give your short review of them. I have put in mine for the opening 6 episodes, with drama episode titles as on screen, episode opening scenes bullet synopsis with mention of who appeared at what moments. Even if not exceptional, this drama is generally good for me. I did not mind the "prologue" flashbacks which made it possible to avoid some hackneyed tropes while staying within the framework of expected romcom development with understandable misunderstandings to be resolved. 😁 Qin Fei has good reasons to be easily triggered and misunderstanding some who are not enemies. Xing Zhizhi plays cute, starts with a big lie ("not her fan"? what was he doing wearing a fandom T-shirt then? and pretending the cushion was not his?) does not own up to the fact that they have been acquainted long before the "private taxi" moment. Little Xixi is really cute and the heart warming smiles she gets from Qin Fei contribute to making a sad event less heavy. The other characters aren't hogging time but live up to their "support" status, and show that the actress does not "live in a void" to stare feelings into the drama. Her shooting her mouth off at nasty people is quite refreshing although unfortunately for her, a hazard for her career. The drama does show the hurdles and pitfalls c-entertainers have to overcome, alongside the sweet story. So far so good.
waiting. 6 1/2 hours to go ... :) 6 episodes to start with according to the schedule posted in photo section!
While adding some names to the posters in the photo section, I was intrigued by the ML character's name: Xíng Zhīzhǐ 行知止 ("know how to stop") and Xíng Zhīzú 行知足 ("be content") support role: sister? Interesting character name. "行" can be pronounced háng or xíng, but in different context, with widely different meanings! háng is mostly used as a "noun" , such as in "bank", however, xíng is mostly used as a "verb" generally meaning "can". 行 is also a very rarely found surname.

As for the Molihua song, in the unlikely case someone is still unfamiliar with it, I'm adding links here, to one among many Hanzi/Pinyin/English lyrics MV with some info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPX_lJjyPE and a fun take on the song by Vocaloid Luo Tianyi with pipa player Fang Jinlong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veE60xqE0DI
