NO BLOODY SPOILERS YALL!!!! Use spoiler tags if you do talk about episodes beyond this post. Gotta keep the surprises as surprises! Keep the plot twists like a pretzel.
Also, kindly remember to please keep any negativity directed at the characters instead of the actors portraying them. They are just doing their job with whatever was script handed to them.

Episode 24
Oh thank fudge it's only 45 minutes! Haha.
Why are we focusing so much on Zhixia's feet? This ain't OnlyFeet! You won't see me complaining. Have you ever watched Tian Xi Wei's fast walk? Freaking goddess like! That one clip in the red dress? Sheeeeeeeesh.
Move over, Yubing. There is a new bunny in town.
Ohhhhhh she soooooo is trying to ask him to stay with her! Of course Zeqiu has to come over! Damn! He straight tossed Yubai out of the apartment. Rude.
Dr. Shen the party pooper is being a stinky butt. Shui wishes to redeem her 20 good girl... errrrrrr *cough cough* good patient stickers into a trip outside. He finally relents after Shui gives some Bai Lu worthy pouty face and he tells her he will apply for her outing.
He sets out some rules for the trip.
Well, it seems the first item of business is to take lots of photos together.
I would really love to know.... HOW OLD SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
So I said to myself "I'mma let this scene play out and then I'll recap it" BUT WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT CLOSE UP SHOT OF HER SUCKING THAT STRAW??????
Dr. Shen Fuxuan, the 2ML who is kind of handsome, asks her what her thoughts are about the risky experimental treatment procedure. She eyeballs her drink and nails the toss into the garbage can. As the golden light hits her head I can't help but feel that maybe she has a chance at life.
If she dies I will rage.
It seems the trash toss was her version of flipping a coin since she smiles and tells him she will accept the treatment.
"Okay, it's a date". Zhixia happily accepts Yubai's offer of hanging out on the weekend. It seems they wish to spend time together. Do we sense a relationship becoming official soon?
Uh oh! Tian Xi Wei is in the kitchen! This never goes well... OH SHIT SHE'S COOKING ON THE STOVE!!!!!!! RUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
If you've watched In Between... You know....
Oh for fucks sake... I swear.... Phew. Crisis averted. It's just Xu Nuo who made a little mistake. I was afraid it was something darker there and I was not about to take that well. Oh how great that we get to see glasses douchecanoe again.
Why are you offering to help him? Let him suffer. Oh? He accepted it? Is he really realizing he ain't hot shit? Nah. I don't trust him. Zhixia is a better person than I am.
So when are we done with this Peng Phucker?
Great news for Triple T Tang Tingting as Su Mo is apparently quite excellent on a variety show and everyone is talking about it!
Tingting is happy she is going out to dinner with Qiyan.
Oh why do I have a bad feeling that the restaurant he chose will be—FUCKING HELL HE DIDN'T?!?!?!?!!??!!?!
He fucking didn't!!!!! I'm a guy and I know that is not fucking cool!
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttt!!!!!! Yo, ladies... Am I reading that silent communication between Yuanyuan and Tingting right? There was some territory marking there, yeah? Minor jealousy? Or just some realization that men ain't shit?
Anyways, Triple T Tang Tingting knows her damn worth and walks her butt straight outta that shop. Qiyan the dingus runs after her because he's so damn idiotic he doesn't realize bringing her before his affair of the heart is rather a classless act. Fucking nincompoop! Like, yeah! Qiyan and Tingting haven't made things official, but there is some level of undercurrent understanding... Well, maybe he's too dense to see that...
Also, what did Tingting mean when she referred to Yuanyuan as an inverse function? Is that fancy geek speak for calling her a homewrecker? I suck balls at math, okay? My father told me I was going to work a dead-end job at McDonalds, become a male hooker, get a certain disease, and die because I didn't comprehend math. Jokes on him! Anyways!
Yuanyuan seems a little sad. Is she gonna be a girls girl?
\"If you lose her, you will never get her back\".
It looks like she got through to Qiyan that there really is an understanding between him and Tingting. She really might be the catalyst.
Date time!!!! Zhixia and Yubai are at the wharf!
This took so much work... Please tell me you understand this reference.
The date starts sweet with cotton candy and laughs but turns into a game of hide and seek that evening when Yubai spots that Phucker Peng. Am I going to complain when it gives us this?
YOU MOTHERFUCKER DID NOT JUST TEASE US WITH THE CHEEK TOUCH TO THEN COP OUT AND SAY HER HAIR IS MESSY?!?!?!!?!?!?
I am going to take a moment.... I am pissed.....
Put your hand on her cheek or so help me...
On the bright side... We finally see Baihui! She's busy coat troping Zeqiu and lightly touching his hair like a lover! We see that little smile you give him, my dear.
Hang on.... This motherfucker is sharing an apartment with Baihui...while unmarried.... not even in a relationship..... bloody well scandalous.... BUT DARES TO GIVE YUBAI AND ZHIXIA CRAP ABOUT THEM BEING TOGETHER IN HER APARTMENT FOR A FEW DAYS???? Me thinks the brother is a hypocrite.
HA!!!! He was secretly awake for that!
Anyways, Zhixia's team is understandably irritated at the thought of helping Glasses Douchecanoe, but they have faith in her.
Back to Baihui who, while organizing the desk, finds a whole heap of material dealing with weddings. My oh my. Zeqiu has some explaining to do. You know you're supposed to ask the lady first, right?
Fuxuan goes and visits Yubai at his garage and brings drinks. They reminisce about their first time drinking during new years those many years ago. Fuxuan admits that he likes Zhixia and will probably like her forever, but also recognizes that Yubai is the one she has chosen. He wishes them the best after saying that he knows Yubai understands her the best and will protect her.
It really is refreshing to see this kind of strong brotherhood that won't be crushed just because a woman made a choice about who she wishes to be with. This is what we need more of. They played their little games in the fair fight they had to win her hand and still are friends even after she made her choice. I respect it.
Zhixia is asleep, cuddling a cute stuffed animal, but somehow still able to narrate to us a great many fancy words that literally just mean she is realizing how deeply she is falling in love with Yubai.
******
Well, that is it for now. Shale and I will post the final episodes following the regular airing schedule so we will see you next week!
I'm going to be popping into the Express Discussion hopefully friday night or on Saturday. I am a busy busy boy!
