Aaargh, I watched this last night, and I wanted to tear my hair out at the stupid. And so much of it, too. That scene could have been half as long (and leave more room for Zhao Yunlan to snark around with Zhu Jiu, or maybe for Shen Wei gazing prettily at the hallows).

I only got through the ep by repeating "moronsexual" like a mantra. (It is a good mantra!)

But... didn't Chu explicitly say "I don't want you to be my little brother"? I took that as him making their relationship explicit.

Or did I hear/read it wrong? (The subtitles are more of a mess than usual on that ep.)

My Chinese is not the best, but I think he says "I don't think you are like my little brother", but xiang implies a wish, too, right?
