I dunno if you guys noticed this little detail but here’s something that adds so much depth to Wen Kexing’s character...
When they just started getting acquainted, even if he tried to convince stay Zhou Zishu to let him stay, he never actually used physical force. Wen Kexing would let himself be shepherd out of the room and after, he would just quietly wait downstairs for Zhou Zishu to come down for food, never trying to get back into the room.
As they got closer, Wen Kexing upgraded to straightforwardly barging into Zhou Zishu’s room without knocking or asking for permission. He’ll just push that door right open and the cutest thing is that Zhou Zishu never ever objected to this kind of behaviour. He doesn’t even bat an eyelash.
If you want to read more into it, it’s as if Zhou Zishu’s room is his heart and the door represents the way into it. It’s like he’s telling Wen Kexing that he’ll accept him whenever he wants to come in, no questions asked.
However, after their fight, Wen Kexing stopped. The morning after, instead of barging in as usual, he actually stopped himself right before the room to rearrange his expressions (and maybe give himself a mental boost) before carefully knocking and asking A-Xu for permission to go in.
Unfortunately, Zhou Zishu had already left by then and he ended up alone.
Finally, you can see they’ve completely reconciled just from the way Wen Kexing goes right back to his old ways of barging into Zhou Zishu’s room with barely a notice.
A few “A-Xu!” and the door opens. Once again, Zhou Zishu doesn’t even blink.
So this behaviour is actually really interesting because it says a lot about Wen Kexing’s character.
He acts like he’s super shameless, sticking himself to Zhou Zishu and constantly testing the boundaries; however, if you take a step back and look at things, the one taking the lead where it matters is actually Zhou Zishu.
Wen Kexing is the type to constantly test the waters, but he never actually forcefully crosses boundaries, leaving the real decision up to Zhou Zishu. He’ll indicate that he wants more, but as soon as Zhou Zishu shows reluctance, he takes a step back and doesn’t force the issue. Sometimes, it even takes Zhou Zishu nudging Wen Kexing forward for him to take the next step. This shows that in matters of the heart, Wen Kexing makes a show of acting like he takes the lead, but in reality, he’s super uncertain. That’s why he needs someone solid and constant like Zhou Zishu, who will always be a solid presence by his side.
