Iove this scene. In the scene she was comforted by him but he's still holding those loneliness in him.

And wow the way you compare her sun with face with statue of liberty.  Its interesting.

I’m sure y’all have noticed this, but Xiao Yao is a VERY jealous woman especially when it has to do with Jing..can be quite possessive too. She may say she’s not bothered but her actions says otherwise lol. She does anything/everything to get jing’s attention, when she thinks she’s being ignored or Jing doesn’t care about her. When she FINALLY gets the attention she’s been craving for,she acts up just for her to fall into Jing’s sweet temptation lol. She’s BEEN possessive since day 1

Yes  lol and she wants him to also be jealous as well.
