Candied hawthorns and cockroaches

The second time through the game Hu Xiu had better results. She played more shrewdly and he noticed. She did not get the revenge she wanted but opted to play to live. Chief Feng was far more sinister this time around. She was to meet Qin but was arrested instead. He was annoyed at her trail of hawthorn balls. It was quite fun watching him fight with himself about whether to rescue her or not. He reluctantly goes and as things play out in the game she was successful in betraying him. He was surprised at her reason for the hawthorn trail. She wanted to prove she had kept her word and shown up. She wanted the last laugh at the mayor election but he didn’t show. She found she could leave a message for the actor on his character board and slapped her message in the middle of his face.🤣😂 She felt deprived of a real win so she determined there will be another round later. At the office her boss has a very cute char Pei. He is the typical never gonna promote you boss but I will do you the favor of being another’s assistant. I liked that she quoted him back his shpiel verbatim. She politely starts to leave and then thinks better of it. She quits her job and warns him the coffee machine had cockroaches. She guessed four.😂🤣He deserved it. He’s a shmuck. Since she has time she goes to an afternoon game. She is disappointed that Qin’s character is played by the ‘B’ list actor. She doesn’t want to waste time on him and uses the proof of sincerity line that actor ‘A’ used on her. She is drowning her sorrows in candied hawthorns trying to decide how many she needed to eat to feel she got her money’s worth from the ticket.🤣😂 She comes home to find her ex’s mother demanding money from her parents. They are quite loud and it is heard through the building. By chance, Actor “A” is checking out the apartment below and hears the fuss. He is still deciding if he wants it or not. They each get a slight glimpse of each other. Hu Xiu has really dodged a bullet escaping that family.😝 She politely and firmly explains why there was no refund for them. That everything paid in was equal from both families and that if anybody profited more, it was her. She politely escorts her out for the last time. Here she sees the actor but she is called upstairs before he can see more than her dress. She is later reflecting on a bridge and he is there talking building changes. She sees him but he is called away. Like most beginnings, the couple just miss interacting. The game feature is fun. It gives a nice venue for them to get acquainted in a different fashion.
