We get the first hints of his conflict with Jack and see the steel under Jack's smile as he warns Li Zhi De not to cross him. I like that Jack gets all up in Li Zhi De's face as he warns him off, but I wonder if there's a secondary motive too? naye read a lot of tension into that scene, and not just in that it was a power play by Jack, who is both taller and stronger than De-ge. Her takeaway from that scene is "...have they fucked?"
My interpretation of the undercurrent of this scene is that Jack knows that Ah-De is attracted to men (and most especially Tang Yi), and is trying to rile him by piquing his sexual desire.
(And then he faints, but we don't see it, and Tang Yi somehow gets them to safety, right? I've always been a bit confused by this bit.) The novelization apparently reveals how Tang Yi got them off the mountain, but I've only skimmed it so I can't remember the details.
Zhao Zi is napping on the interrogation room sofa and Jack wakes him up with the application of tickles. This has got to be the first time that Jack has ever run an interrogation, and the person he's questioning has fallen asleep on the sofa and has drooled on it.
Zhao Zi is completely unintimidated by him and offers to trade Meng Shao Fei's number for food: a lot of food Jack's look of utter bewilderment as Zhao Zi has the idiotic audacity to negotiate with him...FOR FOOD. That's gotta be a first for Jack. XD
Is this guy for real?
Tang Yi turning up with a mysterious dude with whom he spent the night on the mountain is probably the best thing to happen to Dr Jiang all year. Dr. Jiang is so absolutely delighted that Tang Yi's has personally brought somebody to him, and he even thinks they did some KINKY SHIT up in the mountains. Tang Yi almost grins too, and his reaction isn't 'ewwww, gross,' it's just "Nah, we didn't" in a slightly petulant stop-nagging-me drawl.
I really like Tang Yi clearly has a gay posse, and the fact he has supportive friends and is comfortable with himself as a gay man who is a head of an organized crime syndicate is amazing. <3
Jack is so clearly and immediately charmed by him. And I love how angry and protective Jack gets when Li Zhi De pushes Zhao Zi's noodles to the floor ¨ Oh my god, JAAAAAAACK. His entire reaction can be summed up as 'this one's weird, I like him.' *sobs* Both gangsters fell hard and fell early.
And Jack getting pissed at Ah-De and protective over Zhao Zi is A++++. I was totally sold on Jack/ZZ as a pairing after this scene.
Jack's "I'll make it up to you next time" and Zhao Zi's sunny, "Sure" just melted me. Zhao Zi you probably shouldn't trust Jack this much this quickly, but I'm really glad that you do. I love how Zhao Zi's "Sure" is so immediate. Like...next time? He didn't even stop to think next time what!! Next time Jack kidnaps you and locks you in a room for a night? Next time you to see each other and Jack will take you somewhere and feed you like you're on a date? Then you'd be dating someone in a gang? ZHAO ZI YOU HAVE NOT THOUGHT THIS THROUGH!!! (And I love that you haven't, please never change.)
I like how Jack just like...lets Zhao Zi go. Like, okay, you can go, just let yourself out the front door. Bye! *dies* If I were some low level Xing Tian Meng member patrolling the perimeter and I saw Zhao Zi just slip out, my first reaction would be WTF IS JACK EVEN DOING.
Also, the fact that everybody wears slippers inside of the house is hilarious and so...Asian. Like, Jack, just killed a dude two episodes in cold blood, but you know, he's civilized. SHOES OFF IN THE HOUSE.
We also get the first hints that Li Zhi De is shady, as he makes a mysterious phone call which Jack overhears. I still haven't quite figured out what is going on with Li Zhi De and the level of involvement he had purposefully and accidentally in various things going wrong with Tang Yi and Xing Tian Meng. We know from later on that he's the one who has been enforcing Tang Yi's no drugs line with a faction that is very dissatisfied with Tang Yi's leadership and the legitimization. Is this the faction he's talking to, we think? Does Li Zhi De know that the anti-legitimization faction has communications channels with Chen Wen Hao or not?
Jack's look of amusement as the supposed enemies saunter off together is very cute. Jack was the #1 TangFei CP fanboy, and I LIVE for all the little grins as he sees the attraction start to blossom between them. He is totally egging them on in the background and I LIVE for TangFei fanboy Jack.
I love that Tang Yi has totally already kind of fallen in love with MSF, as he's like, "I'm busy, I have to go," and then MSF invites him to lunch and he's like "Sure." Drops whatever else was on his agenda. Ah-De is dumbfounded and Jack is like, "OMG, they like each other? It's popcorn time."
Yeah, this scene is the one that convinces me that Jack is totally trolling Li Zhi De by trying to arouse him with his physical proximity. He has that little smile of amusement at the awkwardness, and then Ah-De walks into the wall, he's so distracted.
Have they fucked? I'm not sure, if they did, Jack totally topped and Li Zhi De felt so ashamed afterward that he liked it.
you can see Tang Yi being like, oh no, I'm falling for this guy? The way Tang Yi regards MSF is PERFECT. You can totally see how Tang Yi is like, "OH NO, I LIKE HIM" and he...kind of likes that he likes him, but also is also like...OH NOOOOOOO SUCH A BAD CALL WHYYYY.
Captain Shi's actor in every comedy from now on, because he is HILARIOUS. I don't think I appreciated before how funny Captain Shi is, but OMG, he is really one of the highlights of this show. Captain Shi really does have a connection with MSF, having that sort of mentorship connection depicted too is super cute.
There may be no sight as uwu in this world as Meng Shao Fei wearing that frog jumper and holding a cosmopolitan. It's so ridiculous and I LOVE IT. THE FROG SHIRT OMG
And I love that they know each other well enough that all it needs is Tang Yi's, "Help me out" before he kisses him and Andy knows exactly what he's trying to do, His friendship with Andy gives me the warm fuzzies. They are have a history, they are very close, and they care about each other. I love how Andy helps Tang Yi out not only with information, but also with that kiss.
How much do you want to bet that he's already heard from Dr. Jiang that Tang Yi has someone in his sights, and it's a police officer no less?
