After finally getting to this chapter in the novel, I understand that the first and second scenes in the preview for EP15 are right after the last scene in EP14. Wang Shuo is indeed shameless- the clothes are the same. The convo between the 3 “friends” is similar. And I’m still confused. Chapter 158 if anyone is curious. Wang Shuo’s brother Wang Zhen really is something else in the novel though. Definitely a psycho. I see from the cast list that there is a Wang Zhen, which means we get to see this new, more tame version of him soon and I can’t wait.
The preview for EP15 is out. No English subtitles yet but I screenshotted each sentence and translated it with Google. (Yes, my obsession remains strong). The interaction between Chi Cheng and Wang Shuo makes me dislike Wang Shuo so much more. And the interaction between ChengYu and XiaoShuai super cute. Of course the cheek kiss has to happen after ChengYu is pouting. But letting the notorious ex of your friend’s boyfriend sleep at your house?! 👀 I’m sure it was his doctor kindness, but still.
So true, yet the idiom remains. He definitely gives that vibe. While our Chi Cheng also gives snake vibes (to me- his mannerisms are similar), it’s 1000% more seductive. Wang Shuo just gives sinister plotter.
I'm really loving Guo Chengyu's temperament. He knows how to deal with cunning and crazy people like Wang Shou…
Im confused at his motives with Wang Shuo, but since he’s so cunning, I know his ultimate plan will be for Chi Cheng’s benefit and permanently sever the bonds between Wang Shuo and Chi Cheng. He’s a good friend. I haven’t gotten o this part of the novel yet, having just finished the whole thing with Meng Tao, so I’m going to be reading like a crazy person following this episode release.
In the novel, he’s just as despicable and did arrange it to look like XiaoShuai was gangraped. But First ChengYu seriously injured him when he discovers him at the clinic purposefully provoking our doctor and trying to get back with him after confessing the details. After, Wu gets ahold of him accidentally, but quickly figures out who he is and tortures him in his business warehouse underground room. Chi is suspicious of a secret lover and finds the guy, torturing him almost to death, which Wu witnesses, scaring him to death. He runs to his master for comfort and they fall asleep mutually comforted by each other. Chi then hands Meng Tao over to ChenGyu to deal with and gathers up his exhausted Wu, brings him home, and sexually punishes him for peeing in a bottle while his back was turned on Meng Tao while Wu was forturing him- he couldn’t stand that Wu had exposed himself in front of Meng Tao. Also because of catching him sleeping peacefully next to his gay master while he’d need struggling to hold himself back from Wu because Wu came back (from torturing Meng Tao) every night for a week tired and he didn’t want to add to his exhaustion.
There’s a lot to it, but that’s the gist. I’m only at chapter 149, which is right after the events with Meng Tao.
Well that Meng Tao was definitely handled differently than in the novel. Different person and different level of violence.
I’m not sure how to feel about this trio’s reunion. I’m ending this week more confused than at the beginning. Wht is he posting the picture with the ex? What’s his end-game? The snake farm convo had me stumped, like what is the goal? What is Wang Shou’s purpose to return if he already admits he can’t get Chi Cheng back (which is what I’m assuming he meant)? Who is provoking who? I haven’t gotten to this part in the novel yet.
Looks like I have some serious reading to do to help fill th missing pieces because waiting for Monday may kill me.
On another point, the moments with Wu and Chi were crazy sweet. Chi is still down bad for his DaBao, that’s clear. And ChenGyu is still very much enthralled by our XiaoShuai. These sweet moments have me smiling. Which is why I felt some whiplash with the exes.
I hope it’s not like the remake of LITA. I love almost all Japanese BLs but that one was a rare low rating for me. I am interested in how their interpretation of the script will be.
***Corrected: This show releases on GagaOOLala for me in the 🇺🇸 at 0400. I am looking forward to it as the trailer looks promising. Maybe it’ll be another hit like Unknown or The On1y One (so 🥺 this doesn’t get a S2😭).
