Tricks and treats

Their next trip was to the ghost market. They were tasked with finding an authentic period porcelain piece. XiaoCen had an interesting chat with a shop owner and purchased a piece that was a very good fake. At least she talked him down from 1k to 300. Xu Xiao told her to throw it away because a fake is a fake. However, when she retrieved it and put it in her desk I was saying good for you. She had the right to appreciate the artistry even if it wasn’t acceptable for the class project. I am wondering if the seller was the professor’s son or prior student. He had a sad face talking about her teacher. No wonder Xu Xian’s mom is so bitter. Her ex left, most likely to go on pottery digs and she was furious she and son were deserted. I really can’t fault her for that. At the same time I cannot fault him for loving his dad anyways and wanting to be like him. He took back his rabbit out of the box and got another tongue lashing from mom wanting to know why he still cared when left behind. Yue Xin and Xiao Cen met at an arcade and had fun with the claw machine. Xiao Cen’s mom was so sure the huge bunny was from a bf. I am glad Xiao Cen had selfies to prove who she was with. At the dorm the subject of boys come up and it’s funny that two like the pranksters. The downer is that XiaoCen’s new friend likes Xu Xiao. She has crushed on him since their military training. Her friends mention that he hangs out a lot with Xiao Cenbut would she be interested if they weren’t a souple? This is Deja vu to Shine on Me where his character there had a similar situation with two roomies crushing on him. I really don’t want that scenario here.😝XiaoCen and Xu Xiao have a fanciful conversation where she makes stories about water droplets and clouds. TBH, I think Xu Xiao could uses some imagination and fanciful thoughts to see the magic in ordinary things. He is far too solemn and serious. I will hate it if they make the girls have a falling out over Xu Xiao. Here’s hoping they let YueXin notice the guy from the porcelain museum who’s definitely interested in her.

Didn’t Expect to Like This at All… But Here We Are

I’m honestly not a fan of BL dramas. Most of the ones nowadays feel repetitive — high school settings, enemies-to-lovers, or overly predictable storylines that you can already guess from episode 1. That’s why I usually avoid them.But my friend kept pestering me to watch Love You Teacher, saying it’s different, has a unique plot, and isn’t as predictable as typical BLs. So I gave in and decided to try just the first episode.And surprisingly… I didn’t hate it.Episode 1 actually felt refreshing. The story immediately introduces something intriguing, and there’s this underlying mystery that makes you want to keep watching. It doesn’t rely too much on cliché fanservice, which I really appreciated. The pacing was decent, and the characters already feel like they have more depth than usual.I won’t say I’m completely hooked yet, but I’m definitely curious — and that says a lot considering I normally drop BLs right away.

Okay… Now I’m Actually Invested

I told myself I’d just “try” this series, but Episode 2 made it harder to stop.Again, as someone who isn’t into BL, I was expecting the story to fall into the usual patterns by now — but it didn’t. Instead, it expanded more on the plot and gave us more emotional and narrative depth. There’s still that sense of unpredictability, and I genuinely don’t know where the story is going, which is rare.The characters are becoming more interesting, especially with how their personalities and backstories are slowly unfolding. The chemistry doesn’t feel forced, and the interactions feel more natural compared to typical BL dramas.What I like most is that it doesn’t focus only on romance — there’s an actual story being built here.At this point, I’m not just watching because my friend told me to… I’m watching because I want to know what happens next.

Memories

The class gives an interesting assignment. Locals have brought in pottery for repairs and their grades will be determined on customer satisfaction. The pranksters are unhappy that their project is a modern teapot from a cranky old lady. When she comes to pick it up and is very unhappy, they gladly let Xu Xiao take over. At dinner Xu Xiao is very quiet while his step dad tries to give him a new phone. He has lived off his salary and refused to spend any of the money they have given him. His mom means well, but she is very angry about her first husband. She is resentful her son wants to follow in his footsteps and is demanding he change to a different major since he is so capable. He excuses himself from the table and works on the teapot. For the second time she is very unhappy tho the repair looked beautifully done. Xu Xiao figured out what was missing. Ms Wu’s father’s signature on the bottom. She remembers him carving his name there and the memories overwhelm her. For once it is bittersweet tears and fond memories rather than anger. Xiao Cen strikes a chord with him when walking home. She ponders about how not being forgotten is so important. This is why Xu Xiao wants to do so well. He wants to honor his father and do well in the same trade. The only thing missing from this episode was letting us see the repaired item that they originally were chosen to do before the teapot. I know it turned out well, but I wanted to see what it was supposed to look like.

White noise

I love the two pranksters in her class. They are very like the Weasley twins in HP.😂🤣 Xu Xiao and XiaoCen strolled down a street where people who did not play with mud were not welcome.😂 Here, a young friend of Xu Xiao will make space for the plate to be fired at their family kiln. Their plate turned out nicely and I like how he watches her face as she looks it over. His boss has noticed her painting skills and offers her a part-time job. He emphasized how lonely Xu Xiao is at work. 😂 A group goes to a murder mystery game and invite Zhao Xiao Cen to go. She is very bad at it and struggles through the script. The next time they go they don’t invite her. I appreciate this isn’t done in a mean spirited manner. It was just very clear that she didn’t have fun and felt forced to participate. This gives her a lot more time to work with Xu Xiao. She spends a lot of her time sleeping. He lets her sleep because it is clear she is recuperating. When she overhears a conversation, she thinks she is the culprit and apologizes. The white noise from Xu Xiao sanding pottery helps her rest so she had recorded him at work as a sleep aid. He very sweetly makes her an audio file so she can sleep better. It is also noted that the tour guide noticed the return of the girl interested in the mysterious three way communicator.
