Then he returns from abroad.
When he meets his archrival again, the other guy gives him a giant green hat!!!?
Early on:
Ji Jian looks at Xie Xuan with utter loathing.
I'm straight, I'm face-blind, and I'm not interested.
He's gay, he's sick, and he deserves it.
In the middle:
Ji Jian looks at Xie Xuan and can't get a word out.
He's not bad, actually. Pretty good-looking.
I'm fine. I can handle it. Whatever.
Later on:
Ji Jian looks at Xie Xuan and likes everything about him.
He's so handsome, so smart, such a genius.
I was wrong. I'll behave. I'll call you Big Brother.
[Xie Xuan] Runs his mouth, stirs things up, and gets burned himself.
[Ji Jian] Slowly wears down his defenses and turns himself gay.
