Mu Yao's response: You're misunderstanding Fuyi.

Random thoughts I had about the novel after watching the drama.

In the novel, Mu Sheng pushes Mu Yao to break up with Liu Fuyi. There are better guys out there. He's indiscriminately nice to everyone! (An unforgivable crime in Mu Sheng's eyes, lol.)

He feels that Liu Fuyi has been leading his sister on. She's known him for five years. From Mu Sheng's perspective, Liu Fuyi has been making excuses to push off the marriage.

Mu Yao's response: You're misunderstanding Fuyi.

At the time, I was on Mu Sheng's side. Why hasn't Liu Fuyi proposed after five years? Mu Yao deserves better.

Episode 15 got me thinking though. How did they spend the past 5 years? Mu Sheng's mere presence is coming in between them. How can Liu Fuyi and Mu Yao's relationship progress when he's been like a koala bear on Mu Yao before MiaoMiao joins the group? And I'm sure, he worked to discredit Liu Fuyi at every opportunity. His sabotage combined with Liu Fuyi being Liu Fuyi.

^ Exhibit A: Mu Yao helping her tsundere brother and paving the way for a work date for herself. Finally, a date night after 5 years.

Mu Yao to Mu Sheng: I'm worried about leaving MiaoMiao alone. You stay with her. Fuyi and I will go to the Astronomical Bureau.

Liu Fuyu nods.

^ Exhibit B: 

Liu Fuyi after seeing Mu Yao alone at a romantic spot: I think A'Sheng wants to duel me. You should go back first.

Mu Yao: …?

^ Exhibit C: Blushing from holding hands after 5 years! 5 years!

---

^ Exhibit D: Can't forget my all-time favorite. shijiujun's comments make the show even better.

Exhibit E: More complicated reason.

In the novel, on the boat, MiaoMiao asks Liu Fuyi why he doesn't just talk to Mu Yao. From her perspective, their conflict is just a misunderstanding, and everything can be solved by communicating.

This is his response:

"Over the years, Yao'er and I have long become accustomed to shouldering everything on our own. Rather than say we're lovers... it would be better to say we're partners. We depend on each other, but we also compete with each other. In this relationship, we're afraid of losing to the other. A single loss means an unrecoverable defeat..." He looked at MiaoMiao with the sympathetic eyes of an elder and

Mu Yao and Liu Fuyi's relationship is one between two adults. They have other considerations beyond love, so they hesitate. Whereas, MiaoMiao and Mu Sheng's relationship is like first love in high school or college. They don't have worries beyond what if the other person doesn't like me.

---

Things that Liu Fuyi has going for him that I think is clearer in the novel. Mu Yao shows annoyance towards Liu Fuyi when the women that he saves pursue him, but just like in the drama, she trusts him and is mature enough to understand that he's not intentionally encouraging them. And, as Mu Sheng tells us early on in the novel, Mu Yao likes Liu Fuyi because he's a righteous hero.

Li Fuyi is very thoughtful and gentlemanly. The author shows him doing little things in the background to take care of the group. In both the drama and the novel, he shows a friendly attitude towards her unreasonable brother. In the novel though, as Liu Fuyi gets emotionally invested in playing wingman, he is a big advocate for Mu Sheng when she worries that her brother is dangerous to MiaoMiao, which I think scores huge points with her.

---

All this to say, Mu Sheng isn't a reliable narrator. I think after Liu Fuyi and Mu Yao finally get married, Mu Sheng does admit to himself that Liu Fuyi is a good guy, not sure if that line is shown in the manhua version.

---

^ MiaoMiao hiding her smile that Mu Sheng doesn't get to go either. It's like they're being left at home while Mu Sheng's parent figures finally get a night out. Ep 15 was so fun to watch.
