"Interesting. I haven't read his parts in the book, but I never got the impression that he was in love with Xiao Yao, though he liked her and was intrigued by her lack of girlish affectations. But it would be even more painful if he did love her when the marriage robbery happened. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for those parts with him now.
For what Xiao Yao said she wanted, I thought Feng Long was a great match and much better than Jing. I could easily see their marriage of convenience becoming one of affection and love."
MDL isn't letting me copy long quotes. So I had to copy and paste this to respond to it. Maybe it's not love - in the scene excerpt I read, he maybe is responding to her as a woman for the first time. Though I definitely see on his face during her Princess welcoming scene down the aisle, how Fenglong can't take his eyes off of her. I've rewatched all the scenes with him and XY a few times to see when his interest starts, and it's from there. It's interesting to compare his face to Tushan Jing's, who looks like XY just went out of his reach.....and Xuan is watching all of them, lol.
I'm going to watch the wedding scenes with great interest - I would anyway, there are so many different perspectives to try to get during it! I too could see that eventually Xiao Yao and Feng Long could become a couple with affection, too. But ah well, we'll have to see how Jing earns her back.
So much to look forward to in S2!
