This is going to be a short one because I wrote portions of this episode before I went on vacation last week.

1. She gets wet in the rain and Nai is furious.

My reaction:

2. Nai decides to bring her home, HIS home.

Nai: I rarely have guests. You can wear my slippers.
Weiwei: (wearing the black slippers) What about you?

Nai just kicks off his shoes and walks bare-feet. (Wait a sec! He wasn’t wearing socks?? I thought he had no-show socks on!) He tells her to wait in the living room.

A must for the well-dressed man: no-show socks for loafers.

Hmmm…is this the reason he doesn’t have a stinky socks like Yugong, Monkey, and Mozarta? Because he doesn’t wear socks??!!

She makes a mental note of it. “Only one pair of slippers. Looks like I’m the first guest here.” Yes, his house is a real monastery. lol. He comes up from behind and shrouds her head with a towel. He starts drying her hair.

Nai: Why didn’t you take an umbrella on a rainy day?
Weiwei: No, it’d stopped raining when I went outside. On my way back, though, it started raining suddenly. (hahaha. I told you she brought the rain with her.)
Nai: Why didn’t you tell me that Ashuang was giving you a hard time?

I think he means that he’s known all along that Ashuang was giving her a hard time but why didn’t she tell him? He wanted to hear it from her.

Weiwei: That would make you look bad.

He stops rubbing her hair and lifts up the towel to see her face.

She means that she’s put up with Ashuang because she didn’t to reflect badly on him. There are a few ways to interpret this but I’m going with the simplest one. Do you remember how she did her report well and Ashuang commented, “Ah…she’s Lord Nai’s girlfriend alright” with a newfound respect for her and Nai? Well, had she complained about Ashuang and avoided the work, Ashuang would have viewed Nai negatively then.

For Nai, knowing that Weiwei tolerated Ashuang’s demands and bore herself with dignity for his sake, he’s deeply moved.

Nai: Are you upset? (he’s asking her how she feels now.)
Weiwei: No way! I think it’s interesting. Plus, I think Ashuang has changed his perception of me.

She smiles up at him and he kisses her.

My comment on this: Love O2O: Ep 19 The Brand-New Shirt

The other thing I’d like to point out here is here reaction when she’s in Nai’s bathroom. She’s curious, too. She looks at his toiletries on the rack then at his clothes she has in her arms. Then, she makes a little bunny hop, like she’s thrilled and giddy to be there, as she turns around to change.

But to me, the funniest thing about her OVERREACTION to wearing Nai’s clothes is that she did NOT fuss when Nai draped Yugong’s on her.

Ah, right…

Didn’t she notice? She’s been wearing Yugong’s jacket all this time and she doesn’t mind it. Yugong’s jacket wasn’t awkward to wear because she feels nothing for him. She only feels embarrassed and shy when it’s Nai’s clothes.

4. She’s a special girl.

Mozarta asks where Weiwei is because they usually go to work together, and Nai reminds him that “It’s Saturday.” They get on the elevator and Ashuang slips in as the door closes.

Nai pointedly tells Mozarta, “Plus, she has a cold.” Oblivious to the reason for Weiwei’s illness, Mozarta replies, “What a coincidence! Ashuang has a a cold, too. Getting rained on and sitting in an air-conditioned room will get you sick. You should be careful, too, Nai.”

Ashuang feels guilty, of course. As soon as they step out of the elevator, he calls his boss.

Ashuang: Is your girlfriend sick?
Nai: Yes, she has a slight cold.
Ashuang: Yugong told me that she got drenched on her way to get me medicine.
Nai: Pretty much.
Ashuang: I don’t mean to give her a hard time. I just think sometimes —
Nai: You don’t need to explain. I had Yugong take care of her. He asked you to supervise her. You have the right to decide what she does at work. However, I thought that your gynophobia was biological. Now, I realize that you’re just prejudiced against female IT workers. In this regard, I hope Weiwei can change your mind.
Ashuang: I’ve been hurt!
Nai: (approaches him) Each person is different. Don’t put everyone in the same basket. There’s no hurry, though. Take your time. (taps his arm and leaves)
Ashuang: Boss! Your girlfriend…I mean, Bei Weiwei, she really is different.

Nai just smiles at him and goes back in.

This is something new for Nai. Previously, when his gang praises Weiwei, he’s quick to accept the compliment for Weiwei herself. But I guess, he’s different because this is a professional setting now.
