i love xiaozhiyu and i love their cp but he pisses me off a lot in the latests epshe likes her but he doesnt express…
He is at a state where he thinks he doesn't deserve to pursue happiness and is prioritizing in uncovering the truth behind his dad's case which he had been dead set on since he was young. There were plenty of signs that hinted that Zhiyu liked Hu Xiu as well but at the moment he isn't ready to commit, though feelings are hard to control, he will waver no matter how he resist.
As much as we side-eye the SML for interfering and trying to get close to the FL, a lot of it really comes from…
I also had a hunch once the truth is out he might turn his back on his dad. It seems he doesn't really know much and is only following his dad's orders.
