This all makes the Hao Mei/KO relationship in Love O2O make so much more sense. Every interaction between them was adorable, but I kept thinking "uhhh, this is v v homosexual. Why is everyone pretending that they're just friends?" And then there's a line near the end when KO shows up at Hao Mei's place and says he's there "to take the back door." I literally had to pause the episode and use the google translate app to translate it because I thought the subtitles were fucking with me. Nope. Literally a line from the novel.

(Also, this has nothing to do with the post, but can I point out that Love O2O introduced me to Zhang Bin Bin, and the thirst is killing me. Why so beautiful?)
