"It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the savior."

I mean between you and Chaeha, it's you who have been doing things like a twelve year old teasing his first crush so...🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Chaeha, repeat after me: SEXUAL HARASSMENT 🙃🙃🙃

Oh boy. That's the eyes of a man who isn't pleased being called "a mistake" 😅

My boy Chaeha keeps digging his grave though 😭😭😭

Me: (laughs hysterically atp)

Okay, before I proceed, I have to say that I am not a big fan of "gay for you" trope. But the novel is obviously trending along that line because neither of these gents are gay. They just turned "semi" gay after what happened in this episode.

There is even a section in the novel where Mo was surprised that Shixian's penis doesn't look like the dildos he sell in his shop (I mean, obviously? The real thing should look different? 😅 Anyway, I digress).

1. Well, it was mentioned in the last episode, but Mo did offered several simple solutions to Shixian's full bladder problem lol.

One is to find a girl, get the erection out, and be done with it (rejected). Two is to go to the emergency and have a medical expert look on it (again, heavily rejected). And three is to insert a catheter and empty his bladder the roundabout way (also rejected because Mo revealed that he never done the procedure before).

So, they resorted to extreme measures 😅

2. Actually, the term used in the novel is "squirting", followed by the most detailed explanation of what 'squirting' is that I have to re-read the blurb again to re-confirm that Mo was a lawyer and not a medical professional lol.

I guess working in a sex shop taught him several useful things to help sell his merchandise 😂😂😂😂

3. This is also the title of one chapter, in which the author detailed the hand action that should be taken to help a person "squirt". Seriously, there's like 15 chapters of this scene where Mo helps Shixian "squirt" (lords have mercy) 😭😭😭

And yes, the umbrella and raincoat was also in the novel 😭😭😭

3. Again, it took almost 15 chapters of the novel to cover this bathroom scene. Make of that whatever you will lol

4. Since the erection won't go down by handjobs alone, Mo decided to introduce Shixian to the wonders of anal sex 🙃 I would like to remind you again, Mo was not gay in the beginning, but he sure turned gay from helping Shixian with his 'medical problem' 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

1. This happened the same as in the novel. A woman did try to pick Teng Mo up. The only difference is the drink. Mo was drinking Long Island Iced Tea from the get-go. He actually wanted to order milk but thought the bartender would most prolly boot him out of the bar if he did 😅

(Although he is only 30, he firmly believed that he is too old to drink hard, alcoholic beverages.)

2. This also happened in the novel, although Shi Xian's used the neverending cheesy songs that Mo kept on requesting to humiliate him. The difference between the novel and the show is that Teng Mo wasn't really embarrassed. In his own words, he can never run an adult shop for five years without being shameless 😂

3. In the novel, Mo saw Shixian drinking with four not-so-young women, solidfying his initial assumption that Shixian is some kind of gigolo. Which led to the next scene:

4. Thinking that Shixian will be doing sexwork after seeing him drink an enormous amount of alcoholic beverage, Mo firmly advised him to avoid taking Viagra as it can harm his health. Instead, he gave him an "Indian miracle cure" and told him that it is for 'sobering up'.

In short, Mo tricked Shixian into eating a pill that is similar to viagra but without the similar health side-effects (Mo sincerely thought that viagra is being used for sex purposes while Shixian just wanted to sober up quickly so he can perform on stage and go home.)

5. Shixian did sought Mo that same night because apparently, men cannot urinate with an erection (Don't ask me if this is true. I'm an industrial chemist, not a biologist lol).

What follows in the novel is the most unhinged, hands-on sex education that even the novel author said in the footnotes that they didn't expect to write so much science about male physiology in the next 10 chapters.

I am reading the novel while watching this series. It is fairly short with only 64 chapters, so I can definitely do this lol 😄

1. Not sure why they chose to change Viagra to whatever brand they used in this scene. I mean, even the MDL blurb says it's Viagra so 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️. The novel starts in the same way, with Teng Mo being goddamned nosy, which started the next chain of events lol

2. In the show, Teng Mo incidentally walked in a bar where Wu Shi Xian's band performs. In the novel, Teng Mo intentionally sought out the "Blue Peacock" because he got curious about this guy who buys five tablets of Viagra every five days.

It didn't take long for Teng Mo to noticed that Wu Shi Xian only sings dark, twisted ENGLISH songs with depressing lyrics (e.g., all about death) so he decided to mess with him by requesting uplifting love songs, knowing that Wu Shi Xian will never reject it (each song request costs 300 yuan and Teng Mo has never seen Wu Shi Xian reject anything that involves money).

3. Teng Mo assumes that Wu Shi Xian is really a male escort/host and not just a singer, mainly because he is a regular Viagra customer and he is also paid to entertain (drinks with them) customers whenever he isn't on stage.
