“You can't go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending.”

SPOILER ALERT: Xiao Ping had it backwards.

This is the same as with the novel. Lu Qing paid Luxin to "behave" herself while Fan's family is in Beijing. Her "playing nice" didn't even last a day 😅

Also, Xiao Fan's father is waaaaaaayyyyy more irritating in the novel. Especially when golden child, Xiao Ping is around.

ETA:

Oh. Fucker is here. I was wondering when he is going to pop up.

Again, it's hard to notice the nuance (especially when it has been years since Xiao Fan's wedding to Luxin), but Lu Qing is acting like a goddamn groom meeting his in-laws right after the wedding ceremony lol.

It is customary for the groom to visit the bride's parents and present them with gifts, just to assure the parents that the bride will be well-taken care of.

But at the same time, this also feels like courtship gifts. Either way, Lu QIng is clearly treating Xiao Fan as his most precious bride 😅

I wonder what movie they are watching because wow they chose something highly relateable to both of them lol

It's Ang Lee's Wedding Banquet... which, is actually more of a comedy than a dramatic movie 😅

I can't resist a good hand shot 😄

If you think this is such a roundabout way to give Xiao Fan a mobile phone then you are correct lol

But it's not as if Lu Qing has any choice. If he directly gives XIao Fan a brand new mobile phone, he would just reject it. Now, if he gives him a slightly cracked phone, the miser in Xiao Fan would not want to waste an expensive gadget when it could be fixed and still used.

So, he will accept and use it because Lu Qing will throw it anyways 😅

I'm not sure if the show watchers can fully appreciate this moment if they haven't read the novel. In the novel, this house was arranged and decorated by Xiao Fan (since him and Lu Qing were living here together). The first thing that Xiao Fan noticed when entering the house is that absolutely nothing has changed.

Remember, he assumes that Wen Xi has lived in this space after he left. So, everything being on the same spot (even the pans and kitchen utensils) are surprising to him.

“Personal’s not the same as important. People just think it is.”

I think any parent whose child utters this exact line should take a good, hard look at what they are doing to their kids.

If I was Chat, I would stop hating on Phob (and by extension, Tin) and start putting all that hate in the right direction — their dad.
