To the people who seem to have no problem with the relationship between xingsi and yongjie can y’all tell me why bc it seems like we didn’t watch the same show where:
1.) Yongjie literally stalked his brother like a creep and harassed Mu Ren.
2.) Got his brother drunk and then proceeds to sexually assault him and for the issue of it to be swept away and basically the blame of that event being placed on xingsi for no reason.
3.) yongjie giving Li Cheng terrible advice on how to woo Mu Ren which I’m still stuck on why Li Cheng would ask HIM of all people for romance advice when it’s been literally known what yongjie did to his brother 😒.
4.) videotaping the sexual assault and showing it to the whole family which is just like wtf like no why tf and don’t even try to excuse that bc that’s just messed up.
And I don’t wanna hear that “it’s just fictional, it’s not that serious” bs bc yes it is. Scenes like those got y’all delulus thinking relationships like that are okay and even if you say it’s not real so it don’t matter, there will be people out there who will genuinely believe that it’s ok for their significant other to treat them like that. 
Stop excusing toxic relationships pls it’s 2021 I thought we would be over that now.
I actually really like Yongjie and Xingsi. I can tell Yongjie really cares about Xingsi even though he has a outlandish way of showing it. I really like them together as a couple.
Also I'm not going to lie both actors did really good with that bedroom scene when it was Yongjie birthday. I would be so embarrassed to do all that stuff as an actor 😭...
Also I know a lot of people don't like them so if you don't that's fine just don't come on my post painting me as some disgusting criminal because I enjoy this fictional couple of step bros together 😂.
Can you IMAGINE hearing your wife or stepmother say that she knew your stepbrother was going to assault your son or yourself and just... stood by and let it happen?
Can you IMAGINE?
I mean, holy fuck, this family has such a fucked up dynamic I can't stand it.
Fuck, poor Xingsi.
Seriously, someone rescue this poor man.
Can I pick Xingsi up and put him in a show where he gets a nice, soft romance with someone who can respect his boundaries and talk to him and maybe not get him drunk for the sole purpose of sex?
At least he has good friends.
Xingsi. Xingsi, my tiny baby. Omfg this boy neeeds a thousand hugs and also therapy.
Please, lots and lots of therapy.
Xingsi, none of this is your fault. None of this is even approaching your fault. You did nothing wrong.
One of the biggest problems in Lichen and Muren's relationship is that they've been using XingSi as a bit of a buffer in their friendship and LiChen's attempts to move towards romance, honestly, needs that buffer.
LiChen is action.
MuRen is talking.
XingSi is empathy.
When you take out the empathy... things fall apart quickly.
MuRen wants to talk this out, he wants to discuss what might happen and come to an agreement.
LiChen wants to act, to do, to try it first and then make a choice just as quickly.
XingSi would be the one to make them think, to stop both of them and remind them about the other's feelings, the other's choices.
But XingSi has his own issues. And XingSi can't play that part in a relationship forever.
They both need to learn to do that, to think and to speak and to act.
But, right now?
Neither of them is ready for that.
