*claps* Yes!!!
Yeah, I agree with everything you said. Uncle Pan and Qiu actually mesh well, I think Pan gets him.
Yes, our hearts do need a treat. I don't want to post angry comments at DJun or be upset at YuYang. I am curious about what will eventually bring YuYang and LiHuan together, but I think what we can do is to have hope that things will work out. YuYang having the courage to love proudly is not what he was allowed to do growing up, so it'll take time for him to adjust to and accept. Communication and personal growth are things we all go through, and it doesn't happen so quickly.
I love Uncle Pan being so experienced at handling Qiu lol. Uncle Pan may just have THAT much experience, which thankfully is guiding him to know exactly what to do with Qiu now. And Qiu is happily engaging with Uncle Pan, which I like too. I adore that this pair feels alive when they're together and they're willing to try, despite appearing like mismatches; they know almost nothing about each other, and it's much easier for them to stop talking than spend time with each other. I think that's fate too, where you meet the people you don't expect to, and you get along better than you may have imagined :)
Reading these age gaps stories where the older person understands the younger person, and there is maturity, makes me wish that I'll meet an older partner someday lol xD
Uncle Pan is just so cool. He appears so relaxed. I can't wait to learn about any flaws he has, or what his fears are... It'll be a contrast to his image, and it'll be fun to see Qiu tease the older man :P
It helps that Uncle Pan doesn't take Qiu's words negatively, and just pats the boy for being young and stubborn. I honestly think Qiu likes that attention; almost being doted on without being spoiled :) Maybe Qiu and Uncle Pan will have a happy domestic life together, since we already saw them going grocery shopping and now Qiu is even washing the vegetables. - Wait, that grocery outing could be considered their first date lol!! XD That thought just hit me :O
I think Uncle Pan finds Qiu amusing. Qiu could have given up on Uncle Pan after our young boy felt humiliated, but Qiu still came back regardless. Qiu demanded Uncle Pan for an apology, but our stubborn boy just wanted to see Uncle (lol), and I think Uncle Pan knew that too :P
It's good that Uncle Pan put Qiu in place by having the boy pick the groceries and pay for them, and even wash the vegetables! Qiu may be bratty from his upbringing, but his nature doesn't seem terrible. :) Qiu is surprisingly patient, and he does what he sets his heart on. Despite having friends who say Uncle Pan is not taking Qiu seriously enough, Qiu is still pursuing Uncle Pan anyway. I think anyone in Uncle Pan's position can acknowledge and even be touched by Qiu's efforts.
I love that Qiu was asking Uncle Pan where the latter was going, and Qiu chose to follow him lol. Qiu clearly wants to spend time with Uncle Pan, and I find that cute :P
An (Qiu's friend) saw Qiu and Uncle Pan's interaction in-person, and he was amazed lol. Qiu and Uncle Pan are surprisingly compatible, in the sense where they can talk easily with each other.
I hope that during dinner, Qiu and Uncle Pan can have a good conversation on the direction of their relationship. They're not dating, and I sense that Qiu is feeling uneasy... x) Although, it may be a good indicator for Qiu since Uncle Pan invited him over! :D
