Zong Yi X Ze Rui - Tumblr Posts

Kiseki: The careful balance of sweet and spicy  

It’s important when there is a main and side couple romance that they are different enough so there’s something for everyone in the show. Perhaps you want something sweeter or maybe you want a dynamic that is spicier or maybe you like both! The Zongyi/Zherui vs Chen Yi/Ai Di pairings give a full and balanced meal of romance. 

There are the ways they look out for each other: 

Taking on an angry mom with firm diplomacy. Zongyi is accused of hurting the jealous girl? Not on Zherui's watch!  

Ai Di: Attempted murder (feral kitten on rampage)

Zherui: I’ll see your attempted murder and raise you one full on murder! 

(It really isn't)

The characters are also subtly different in how they show their displeasure. 

Zongyi : Quietly sulks and glares from the next room

Ai Di: Baby corn chili torture!! Ai Di might quietly nurse his unrequited love, but when he's pissed, the gloves come off and the hot pot goes on!

CY: I don't think I'm into this.

Then there are the way they show their love through food: 

The sweetness of love. Zongyi learns to bake strawberry cakes for Zherui.  

Chen Yi: Bring on the spice for a love that hurts. Let’s share this baby corn in the most homoerotic way possible. 

Ai Di: Do you really want my spicy baby corn? 

Chen Yi: Yeah, I am very into this now. 

Touch. Sometimes it’s the little ways the characters touch each other that reveal their feelings, the gentle brush of fingers… 

The aggressive yoinks of jealousy. The only person who can manhandle Ai Di is Chen Yi.

Not to be outdone, Zherui deploys the surprise morning hand job.

Acts of Sacrifice: 

Zongyi takes the fall for Zherui and heads off to prison for him. 

Ai Di: Samesies! He was not going to be outdone in his devotion. 

Luring him back. In our second act, the two couples take slightly different tacks to lure back their love. 

Zongyi opens a whole ass strawberry themed bakery 

Chen Yi: I heard the quickest way to a man's heart is through his ribcage, so... Guns. 

Then when the lure doesn’t work. You just have to take matters into your own hands and GET YOUR MAN. 

Zongyi, with an assist from Zherui’s cousin(?), shows up to make sweet, sweet love to him. 

Chen Yi: I'm gonna haul that boy over my shoulder and drag him home where he belongs.

However they went about it, our boys both got their man!

Intially i watched kiseki through tumblr posts, and now i going to binge watch it.

I completely understand the hype over ai di, how can you not love the murderous bunny?

Look at him, he is so adorable but will kill you without any hesitation. Also, he is such a good friend. So affectionate!

Also props to whoever was syling ai di- the boy is so pretty with blond hair and colourful clothing.

Chen yi you say you see ai di as your brother and then kiss him. The hell? Boy who are you trying to fool.

(I would find chen yi so annoying if i didnt know he was going to fall in love with ai di at the end, which is no fault of his; i just adore the feral kitten in love with him and i dont like seeing him in pain.)

Alo well done to everyone who waited for each episode, i cant imagine seeing zong yi being knocked out and bleeding in prison and having the patience to waited a whole week to figure out if he will be okay or not.

Also how did you guys wait untill the next epsiode aired to find out if chen yi was okay after he got shot.

Ze rui I get that you are very understnading of others, but cant blame zong yi for being annoyed at you for deciding to repay with your own life. He just got you back! After 4 years!

I guess everyone has different expressions of love.
