Oh, Why Why Love, why must you be so awesome?
I am in the middle of ep 9 now, and I love it, and Jia Die, and Huo Da more than ever.
If I didn't adore Huo Da before, I would after the whole thing with Xiao Nan.
Because OMG, HD is at that mall where both Jia Die and Xiao Nan work, and he is a supervisor type person (because he is trying to earn money for his friends, awwww). And he accidentally overhears XN's scummy bf with another girl and their whole horrible plan and mockery of XN and Jia Die (JD gave scummy bf money) and he tears up at the great speed upstairs, running up the escalators, to find XN who he knows is the elevator girl and is likely to see her bf with another girl.
And he gets there to see evil bf and chick he is with walk out of the elevator and XN's face as she finally found out, and she is trying so hard not to break down. And OMG OMG, he steps into the elevator and the doors close and you know, it's Xiao Nan. He doesn't know her that well, and she's never said or done anything nice to him. But she is Jia Die's friend, and, just as importantly, she is in pain. Huo Da is really, behind his front, the nicest guy ever. So he radios that the elevator is out of service, and prods her to cry her feelings out, and tells her it's OK to break down, and she ends up crying and he just stands there and waits. And he pulls her into this hug and lets her sob on his chest.
And then he stands up to his brother when his brother is upset about the elevator delays, and he won't say what it was about because it's up to XN to do so if she wishes.
It's Xiao Nan. He doesn't know her well but he will do all that with no hesitation...oh God, I love Huo Da.
And then when XN and Jia Die have a huge fight and JD walks off, incredibly hurt, he goes after JD (and he is so concerned for her, I love it, and love that even XN can tell) and brings her back and the girls make up and he takes them out and really makes everyone feel better. And they go to the club where scummy bf is, and he lets Xiao Nan deal with it in her own way (as opposed to his guy friend who wants to punch the bf) and then to put the nail in humiliation coffin of ex-bf, says that since such a beautiful girl as XN is now single, drinks are on him ;)
What I love so much is this is all not done for someone he is in love with. I love everything he does for Jia Die but he loves her, even if he hasn't realized it yet. It's not even that he knows Xiao Nan well (like he did with JD when he paid her bill). But Huo Da is just full of this impulsive, irresistable caring kindness, and I love it so much.
And after the bar, he ends up carrying Jia Die piggyback home and I just die in so many ways.
He is carrying her, and she is drunk, and he is grumbling good-naturedly, and she is floppy and giggly and he tells her he thinks she is cute and it's the most adorable thing ever:
LOL:
I sort of died here:
And I found some yummy Bednaya Nastya MVs behind the cut.
