She does it again!
The morning after Nai gave her this hickey,
she shies away from him once more. He calls her up and when she sees his number, she wasn’t too happy to answer it.
WW: Hello?
Nai: Why did it ring forever? Did I wake you up?
hahaha. I wish she told him that she had been applying a concealer on the hickey. Let’s see what he has to say about that.
WW: Because I didn’t want to answer your call.
Nai: Then who am I talking to now?
WW: My traveling spirit.
Nai: How are you feeling? Any better?
Go on, girl. Tell me him about the hickey!
WW: I feel fine. If I do get sick, it’s all your fault. If you’d taken me home right taway, I wouldn’t get sick.
Nai: Your roommate was around and in the way.
In the way = an obstacle, a HINDRANCE
Erxi was in the way of what exactly, Mr Xiao?
Note how Weiwei glances around as if expecting Erxi to pop out.
Of course, she KNOWS that Erxi is gone but she startles easily like a kid who’s been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She has this “GUILT” written all over her face and conscience.
See that? Her reaction is similar to when Friend #1 Old Man/Yugong interrupted their kissing in the office, and when the two little girls saw them kissing in the shelter after the rain. She feels guilty and ashamed that she enjoyed something she thinks she has no business enjoying.
She abruptly ends the call.
WW: Mr. Xiao, it’s time for you to get to work. Please focus and be the coding peasant that you are. Bye.
She hangs up on him and he grins.
She thinks she’s gotten the last word in this time around. But he texts her.
Nai: (text) Come have lunch with me.
WW: (texting back) Sorry, your phone bill is overdue. Text delivery failed.
He reads her text, then looks away from his phone as if he’s remembering something, looks at the text again and SHAKES his head. To me, he’s remembering her display of embarrassment when he kissed her in his office and he lets it go. He puts the phone away.
He knows.
To me, Weiwei is replicating the same “virginal” shyness she exhibited after that reunion kiss.
Every time she feels awkward after kissing Nai, she runs away.
Unlike in online games where she fiercely fought “bosses,” challenged monsters, and dueled in PKs in order to level up, in real life, she instinctively flees from her “boss” and boyfriend Nai whenever she advances in their intimacy stage or “affection” levels.
Instead of being a warrior, she’s a frog that’s been dipped in boiling water. She hops out of the hot and intense situations because she thinks he’s a dangerous, ravenous, carnivorous, amorous wolf.
I don’t mind her shyness or her awkwardness in kissing because her behavior is consistent with an individual who’s inexperienced and inhibited. She didn’t instantly transformed from an innocent girl to a confident, sensual woman to a passionate vamp. This is a realistic and natural development in her self-awareness.
I would have rolled my eyes if she suddenly mutated into a Claire Forlani and strutted her stuff….although I do like Claire Forlani’s dance moves and yummy outfit in this clip.

Erxi was in the way of him giving WeiWei a hickey among other things! 🤣
Agree, she was consistent in being shy about the whole thing but like you said she’s got the upper hand. She’s got Nai in the palm of her hands. LOL!
Your answer = my answer.
His answer makes you wonder, right? if he had wicked designs on her. hahaha. It reminds me of that old poem where the spider enticed the fly to join him, “Will you walk into my parlor?”
What’s up with that hickey? Was it in the novel? Or just in the drama? It amazes me though that she was able to stand still long enough while he sucked her skin hard enough to create a hickey. My neck is a vulnerable spot.
She knew what he’s reply was about that’s why she’s guilty again. 😄 He definitely has the wicked desires. 😍
To be honest I haven’t read the novel to check whether the hickey was there. I’ll try to look it up.
Who wouldn’t want a hickey from your heartthrob boyfriend right? Also like you said she’s learning about the physical side of their relationship so I reckon she enjoyed it but didn’t realise a hickey will come out of it. 😂 Maybe she wasn’t standing up, maybe she was sitting down while Nai was sucking her neck. I’m very sensitive around my neck too to the point of ticklish. 😄
That’s the reason I wear scarves: because I’m like a Spider-Man who gets the tingly, spidey sense from her neck. If I believed in reincarnation, I must have been a bird or a dog in a previous lifetime because my hackles get raised easily. 🤪
She’s learning to enjoy a hickey and he’s also learning how hard to suck 💋 on skin before he starts a contusion. 🤪
No! Don’t read the novel, if you haven’t yet. I’m like you. I want to separate to keep the TV drama, movie, and book so I don’t begin comparing and analyzing all three.
Yes! He’s learning too and to think he said it just comes out naturally from him whenever his with WeiWei.
I’m not sure what I am in my previous life 🤔 . I wouldn’t mind finding out. 😄
Yes I won’t read the novel and besides it’s a long read for me. I only read the part in the swimming lessons. 😉 I can wait till later.
Good morning!
He thinks it comes naturally? 😂 My, my, he’s a love prodigy, isn’t he?
I find his “conceited” comments funny. When he makes these braggadocious (bragging + outrageous) remarks with a straight face then he winks at her, I’m pretty sure he does this to get a reaction from her. So when you analyze it, the “conceited” comments are NOT really self-centered because they’re focused on HER. He wants to see her smile or to see her baffled or to see her rolling her eyes at him.
Good night to you! I’ve to go to my office early and see what calamity occurred in my absence. 😆
Sorry I didn’t get to reply back because I went to sleep already. hehehe
New word for me, braggadocious! 😃
He likes teasing her and getting her to act up and be bothered by his comments. He’s cute and yes it doesn’t sound like conceited at all. It just sounds true. 🙂
