I think that Xiu suspects that XZY is experiencing some inner turmoil. We haven't seen her acting brokenhearted all of the time the way we have been for her or crying into her coffee. And even though he cooled things down in their personal lives a bit, he's still so present for her in those sweet little ways.

Seriously. She RAN to his car, lol.

I agree with you and think she's insightful enough to know he cares about her and there must be more to what happened on the roof. She's also not even remotely interested in Pei. When he was trying to get her to leave with him, she literally ran to ML's car, lol.

That works for me, too! Yours is better because it connotes action versus a dream. :)

And thank goodness for the ML's bestie who sounded the alarm that poor Zhou was in trouble and then came to her rescue again.

Thank you!!!

For real, real!!!!! :))))

Thanks. Praying it's on Viki, IQIYI or Tencent as I've got all of those.

But this time our guy will win and that stain Pei talks about will be much harder to wash off as an adult who won't have the luxury of changing his name. :)

I hope they bury the hatchet, too, but I still want him to at the same time be miserable. I respect a healthy competition, but they are too old for him to still be so gross. Did you see the episode 19 preview?

I'm praying XZY says, "Yeah, he's just coveting my actual girlfriend." LOL

No, it does not. The SML is attracted to her but he will never in a million years have a chance with her. She even said today that she's not stupid enough to get carried away just because that jerk is being kind to her. She sees right through him.

So, don't worry about that at all.

He is so insincere. Although I hope he helps uncover his father's dastardly deeds, I am also hoping he is miserable in the end because he needs to do some serious soul searching and self-reflection about how mean and petty he's become.

Yes, he's attracted to Xiu, but he doesn't like her enough to stop acting like a childish and vindictive asshole. I hate him on my screen but the contrast between him and XZY is beautiful to see and the innate way he just knows what she needs is incredible.

PZ is the absolute worst. I pray, PRAY, I tell you, that XZY says at that table, "It's a pity for you that the one you love is my girlfriend." What an asshole he is.

Period.

I think she initially didn't want to call the police because her husband was trying to do business with him but after the car incident, all bets were off. The police got involved and she posted his assault on the internet.

She would definitely do the same with that gossipy colleague who has been working closely with her and ML on the project because she is a thoughtful person. She literally just slapped the bandaid on his forehead and kept it moving. His being moved by that is all on him. The only reason she's spending this time with him is because she was assigned to do so as a liaison between the two companies, which the ML approved because it's an opportunity to enhance her career growth.

In the trailer, he calls her name when she walks away after the bandaid thing, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

She is in no way making SML think he has a chance with her. Just treating him like a colleague.

I feel sorry for him, too. I can forgive him moving, even though I hate it, but want to give him a piece of my mind for the way he did that.

He may also have thought he could do that because he will see her at work, but still was a very bad move. And maybe his heart couldn't handle packing up, lol!

True, but he's so foul about it and his tactics are proof that he's no competition for Yu and that's why he goes low.

She kept her distance from Pei as ML had earlier requested, but now the two companies are collaborating so she has no choice but to work and spend time with him. Pei also requested that she be the liaison between the two companies instead of the other more experienced colleague working closely with ML and FL on this, which ML approved because he loves her and doesn't want his jealousy to inhibit her professional growth. (I low-key think he created that job for her and that other interviewee was a ruse to make it look like he wasn't, lol.)

So now, FL is working from a clean slate and will treat him kindly just as he would any other colleague. Of course, Pei will misunderstand, but that won't make her accept his advances, and it will push ML to get his head and heart together and pursue her.
