Candied hawthorns and cockroaches

The second time through the game Hu Xiu had better results. She played more shrewdly and he noticed. She did not get the revenge she wanted but opted to play to live. Chief Feng was far more sinister this time around. She was to meet Qin but was arrested instead. He was annoyed at her trail of hawthorn balls. It was quite fun watching him fight with himself about whether to rescue her or not. He reluctantly goes and as things play out in the game she was successful in betraying him. He was surprised at her reason for the hawthorn trail. She wanted to prove she had kept her word and shown up. She wanted the last laugh at the mayor election but he didn’t show. She found she could leave a message for the actor on his character board and slapped her message in the middle of his face.🤣😂 She felt deprived of a real win so she determined there will be another round later. At the office her boss has a very cute char Pei. He is the typical never gonna promote you boss but I will do you the favor of being another’s assistant. I liked that she quoted him back his shpiel verbatim. She politely starts to leave and then thinks better of it. She quits her job and warns him the coffee machine had cockroaches. She guessed four.😂🤣He deserved it. He’s a shmuck. Since she has time she goes to an afternoon game. She is disappointed that Qin’s character is played by the ‘B’ list actor. She doesn’t want to waste time on him and uses the proof of sincerity line that actor ‘A’ used on her. She is drowning her sorrows in candied hawthorns trying to decide how many she needed to eat to feel she got her money’s worth from the ticket.🤣😂 She comes home to find her ex’s mother demanding money from her parents. They are quite loud and it is heard through the building. By chance, Actor “A” is checking out the apartment below and hears the fuss. He is still deciding if he wants it or not. They each get a slight glimpse of each other. Hu Xiu has really dodged a bullet escaping that family.😝 She politely and firmly explains why there was no refund for them. That everything paid in was equal from both families and that if anybody profited more, it was her. She politely escorts her out for the last time. Here she sees the actor but she is called upstairs before he can see more than her dress. She is later reflecting on a bridge and he is there talking building changes. She sees him but he is called away. Like most beginnings, the couple just miss interacting. The game feature is fun. It gives a nice venue for them to get acquainted in a different fashion.

Fun character introductions

Hu Xiu is currently in a slump. She started off quite driven in her career, but put progression on hold to help her dad get the surgery he needed. After that, she decided she would just live a happy simple life and get married. At the engagement party, thanks to a techie teen playing with her laptop, her message from fiancé to end things and that he wouldn’t be back got broadcasted to the entire room. A month later she is still wallowing at her friend’s house and is gifted a ticket to an immersive murder mystery game. She goes reluctantly but gets sucked into the VR experience in spite of herself. Loved the costumes of the time period. 😍 She changes into the costume as directed but assumes she will sleep off most of the time to get full value of the ticket. The game did not permit that option and she finally looks to see who her character is. She is a chemist with a PhD and a small package of opium. The police are at her door and on the street so after fleeing via window she sits down at a diner and starts eating the candied hawthorns on the table assuming the man in black is an NPC. She finds out he is real when he defends her from the police officer and then has her choose between him and another candidate for mayor. Everyone seems surprised she chose the warlord. As the game progresses the opium has caused her the biggest trouble. Her holdup of the thief with a twig was very funny😂🤣 she gives the formula to the warlord who tells her how to escape the city. As she is running to freedom….two shots are fired and she is first one killed in the game. Due to a leak in her apartment she leaves before finding out the results. When she looks it up, she discovers that the man that saved her is also the one that killed her. She is tired of losing and gets another ticket to try again. First time she was dressed in white and naive, this time she is dressed in black with a gleam in her eye for a redo with the warlord. Whoever he is in real life, he was signing a contract at night on a building top surrounded by men in black. He seemed very like his game character.

at least the father came back after Bu Shi's…

at least the father came back after Bu Shi's birthday & i get why he got angry at Ever 4 but even he didn't think up all the things he did & said he researched so much just to give Bu Shi a great, loving birthday - something i doubt either of his parents have ever done. so even if what he said was taken from a manga it counts cause it came from his heart. ********************************mean to say this in the comment of the previous ep - i get Zhen Qun just wondering who drugged them but if i was him i would be kinda pissed that Ever 4 just left me - the fact Jia Qian came along was a freakin miracle & what happens next time or if they in an accident?!? if Bu Shi was my friend i would tell him that with all due respect to the fact that he is Ever 4's master but to order him to make sure his bff was also safe & not ditch him in the middle of nowhere
