Discussion post - episode 4

Andy and Tang Yi watch Big K being arrested on CCTV from the back room of the bar and Andy shows he is not someone to be messed with when he says, "These people trying to sell drugs in my territory, they really don't want to live anymore."

Tang Yi arrives home to find Meng Shao Fei pulling faces at his security cameras like a brat. The quiet scene of them drinking tea in a cafe that follows is THE scene which sold me on them as a couple when I first watched. The look of joy on Meng Shao Fei's face when Tang Yi tells him Andy has a boyfriend is a sight to behold.





The next day Ah De tries to confess his feelings to Tang Yi, but Tang Yi is very clear with him that he only sees him as a brother, thereby breaking his heart. Meng Shao Fei turns up for a happy slo-mo jog with Tang Yi, but the fun doesn't last for long because someone starts shooting at them.

At the police station, Jack turns up to drag Zhao Zi off for lunch, and once they're back at Zhao Zi's house I get hit by sudden feelings about Jack wearing Zhao Zi's grandma's apron. Jack discovers that Zhao Zi is a) a virgin and b) has never been kissed. (In my notes I accidentally wrote down, "Kenny has never been kissed" - that too, though not for long!)

Back at Tang Yi's house, Zuo Hong Ye turns up intensely worried that someone has tried to kill him and in the confrontation that follows Tang Yi confirms that he and Meng Shao Fei - in Meng Shao Fei's words - are "half friends." Gu Dao Yi takes Zuo Hong Ye off to eat icecream and vent some more.

Jack persuades Meng Shao Fei to get Zhao Zi to come over and check Tang Yi's security system and Meng Shao Fei agrees because... he thinks Zhao Zi should hit that? Then Zuo Hong Ye riles up Meng Shao Fei by claiming that Li Li Zhen was taking bribes from the Hsin Tian Group. Meng Shao Fei puts his hand on her arm and Tang Yi pops out of nowhere and hurls him pretty forcefully to the floor.

A little later, Tang Yi apologises to Meng Shao Fei on Zuo Hong Ye's behalf. When Meng Shao Fei won't stop blustering, Tang Yi realises that the only way to shut him up (well. one of the few ways) is to THROW HIM ON THE BED, literally sit on him and get his hands all over him with the flimsy excuse of rubbing ~salve all over his bruised back.



THIS SHOW.



Meng Shao Fei is pretty clearly getting turned on by it (he makes this little movement on the bed and, uh, FNARGLE) and has a minor freak out, throwing Tang Yi out of the room.

The next day, Andy shows up to give Tang Yi some information, looking impressively debauched considering it seems to be first thing in the morning.



Ah De tries to throw Meng Shao Fei's feelings for Tang Yi in his face, but Meng Shao Fei just outright says "Yes, I like your boss" (I LOVE HIM) and then puts Ah De on the ground very effectively. The episode ends, however, with them briefly putting aside their differences to spy jealously on Andy giving Tang Yi a temple massage.

Yes, Zhao Zi should totally hit the guy who is a member of an organized crime syndicate and abducted him a few days ago and has a habit of swinging around a butterfly knife.

GOOD IDEA.

...*facepalms* OMG this show...

first of all, LOL TRUE :D - but i honestly don't think msf GETS that jack is asking for a setup?! i picture that convo between them going something like:

jack: so you know that cute little colleague of yours?
msf: who, zhao zi? he's my best friend! he's a great cop. very good with electronics, too.
jack: great! so, if i wanted his help with anything - say, we needed a specialist to set up a new security system at the house - would you give him a call and tell him to come over and...?
msf: that is an excellent idea. of course, i'm here to keep tang yi safe and will go with him whenever he leaves the house, but additional precautions at his place of residence are just as important. i will call zhao zi immediately. good thinking, jack!
jack: ...you know what, i'll take it.

LOL - you know he's thinking "these guys do NOT do subtlety at all" and making a note!
