That could easily be something like Shi De did while they are, as adults, they are still competing in the corporate world. They may well be still together but on opposite stides in business. Most of the theories are wild and improbable. Btw punctuation is advised to use.

They were not together. They were not a couple.

Amastris Dratwka's exlanation:

What is written at start of final segment:

1) "Earth has rotated 1826 times around its axis."

*1 rotation = 24 hours.
*1826 days / 365 days = 5 years

2) "Earth has rotated around the sun 5 times."

*1 rotation = 1 year.
*5 rotations = 5 years.

So, now is the confusion about Zhou Shuyi’s background.
Specific descriptions of each character in their *present* state as of episode 1 are given per online drama data page.

Shuyi’s status:

1) Mixed race. Dad is Japanese. Dad romances mom in Taiwan. Mom is Taiwanese.

2) Shuyi is born in Japan, where he attends Kindergarten to 4th grade and ranks #1. He speaks fluent Japanese because of this. His mom passes away when he’s going into 5th grade.

3) Shuyi moves to Taiwan to attend school where he meets Gao Shide in 5th grade. From 5th grade to end of high school he will rank #2 under Shide.

4) Per Taiwan primary & secondary education:

Elementary 5th grade to high school 12th grade is 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th= 8 yrs

5) Shuyi attends college to get away from Shide and constantly ranking #2. Shide transfer to Shuyi’s college part way through the school year = 0.75yrs

What Gao Shide says in the dialogue:

“After we’ve been separated for 76,692 hours….” Text on screen says, “FIVE YEARS LATER”

*76692 hrs / 24 hrs = 3195.5 days
*3195.5 days / 365 days = 8.75 years

Thus, after the 8.75 years when Gao Shide & Zhou Shuyi weren’t together *as a couple*, they became a couple.

8 years is likely to be the period BEFORE they got together in series 1, and not after.

Lin Pei Yu's BLs so far before We Best Love:
HIStory3: Trapped
HIStory2: Crossing the Line
HIStory2: Right or Wrong
HIStory: Obsessed

Have we ever seen a disapproving parent in any of these? This cliché is just not her cup of tea. For some reason I feel the teaser and the father's purposefully mysterious appearance in episode 6 are there to trick us.

The end teaser of episode 5 implied the mom was likely to be an obstacle and it turned out she was not. Quite on the contrary. The same trick we have seen with Pete's dad in Kiss Me Again and with Kao's mom in Dark Blue Kiss. I somehow feel that is the case here too.

I am not even sure they have been away from each other for 5 years. Basically it was not stated clearly either. Everyone seems to take it at face value that in the teaser they meet again after 5 years of absence, but that is just a presumption. The only thing we know season 2 takes place 5 years later, nothing more than that.

He was about to go to America for a few months only as he said. I am not even sure they have been away from each other for 5 years. Basically it was not stated clearly either. The only thing we know season 2 takes place 5 years later.

The doc's issue is that he is having affective disorder, as it was told even twice in the series. And that is quite possibly the explanation for his behaviour.

This. And Lin is usually very careful to avoid soap clichés like that.

I guess you started to over-analyze it to great extent. And this may well have been the creators' intention. They have achieved this teaser now keeps the series nagging our minds for a month. Shi De only wanted to get good memories of Shu Yi only when he thought his love will always be one-sided and he had no intention to tell him about his feelings. This is no longer the case.

Like I said earlier, the end teaser of episode 5 implied the mom was likely to be an obstacle and it turned out she was not. Quite on the contrary. The same trick we have seen with Pete's dad in Kiss Me Again and with Kao's mom in Dark Blue Kiss. I somehow feel that is the case here too.

Remember guys, the end teaser of episode 5 implied the mom was likely to be an obstacle and it turned out she was not. Quite on the contrary. They might use the same cliffhanger tricks now about Yi’s father. They may still be together and that slap might have something to do with their still ongoing rivalry, now in the corporate world.

That’s an exceedingly shallow and bluntly ageist comment.

3 more episodes

Isn’t that a major hole in the narrative that Tan, Bun and M behave and act as if the commandant were not around anymore? Aren’t they all afraid they are going to be hunted down by him? Furthermore rescuing That and the esape of the other hitman with the girl was rather unconvincingly presented. How come Tan was defeated so easily by the bulky guy, and why didn’t M shoot to the wheels when the car was about to go away?

A very subtle and accomplished actress. Her performances are vividly effective.

He way passed and exceeded the "promising" status.

That movie was One Summer Night (2016). But movies and BL series are different. I guess this has less to do with the actors' comfortablity zones and more with conservative Korean media regulation.

The same bridge was used for BL lovers' confrontation in Craving You

The mother seems to be a busy CEO and carreer woman. Probably a promotion and she is going to be expat. Either that or she is hunted down by CCP.

Fuck, indeed. I hoped so much he turns up, now they keep us in limbo again. This series kills me lol. He is a cast member in the upcoming the sequel too. If he is still a vision there I scream.
