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.

Creating Xiaoqing

Last episode I really didn’t care for the mom much. This episode, I changed my mind. She was a sweet loving mom that admired her daughter’s handiwork from class but reminded her good health was most important. The class was interesting and amusing as the professor had them choose plates and a partner and then break the plate three different times after repairs. I liked the friendly banter between the groups and enjoyed their interaction. I was less impressed with Xu Xiao this time. He gallantly chose Zhao Xiao Cen as a partner but then wanted to hog the assignment. He meticulously put the plate together the first time and was unhappy with their score. For the second repair a piece was removed but they had to bring back a completed plate. Once again he was going to do it solo but Zhao Xiao Cen made it clear she wanted to learn and be helpful. He was surprised and took her to his workplace. There he helped her learn how to mix the glue and tape repairs. She then showed him she could repaint the design. They passed, but Xu Xiao is still unhappy at low marks. The last assignment was again breaking repaired plates but tossing the entire class’ plates in a container. They were challenged to find the pieces of their plate. I liked how the professor demonstrated the difficulty in matching broken pieces correctly from sites. They toured a museum that was beautifully shot. You’re drawn into the ambiance there. The music from the tiled wall and the interaction between Zhao Xiao Cen and Xu Xiao was moving. They are connecting on a whole different level. He surprises her by trying to recreate the plate they were working on in class and asks her to paint the design. She surprises him wanting to name it. He decides to call it Xiaoqing after she turns down his long name choice. A fun moment was when she realized he could see her moments on WeChat and she wants to get rid of goofy selfies.😂

Off to college

I was very annoyed with aunt and mom talking about Zhao Xiao Cen like she wasn’t there nor inviting her into the conversation. They have come to stay with family while she goes to school and the mom hovers over her due to a past or current illness. The poor girl can’t get a word in edgewise with mom deciding everything. She is painfully shy and does not get out more than her name when the class introduces themselves. There was one other student that brief, Xu Xiao. But he was brief by choice. I like that the girls in class invite her along with them. They are open and friendly and do their best to include her. Xiao Cen finds herself in a pottery section of the market where she runs into Xu Xiao. He is the perfect gentleman helping her take the right bus and accompanying her home. After making sure she got in safely he goes back to the bus to get to his real destination. It was a very sweet encounter.

Not done well

For so many episodes, we've followed Qi Min's steps to seize the throne, and what I saw in this episode was so lackluster. They portrayed him as more cunning than a fox, someone who planned and foresaw many things in advance. But their failed coup attempt in this episode was completely unexpected and surprising from Qi Min. Preparing a coup with so few people and without preparation was absurd and not at all satisfying to watch.Qi Min and Yu Qianqian were a couple I enjoyed watching as much as the main characters, sometimes even more appealing to me than the main characters; I wish they had been better written. Honestly, I loved Qi min's ruthless, "I'd burn the world for the one I love" and "the end justifies the means" attitude. It would have been even better if he had less of that psychopathic side and more compassion, and if Qianqian wasn't constantly betraying him and running away. Their chemistry was amazing; there are so many drama couples that don't have that kind of chemistry, and they were just supporting characters. I'm sure a costume drama with these two would be fantastic.
