#sheng wang was being flirty and jiang tian was honestly turned on

[athousandbyeol]

I'm still trying to figure out what to make of Sheng Wang saying he was on a diet. Was it supposed to jokingly play off the fact that the mom's cooking is bad? Was it kind of flirty because he was implying that he'd lose weight so that Jiang Tian would carry him more often? What are your thoughts?

hi there :)

oh! this is such an interesting scene! (and it has put me in a brain rot since i first saw it...)

from my understanding, i personally regard sheng wang's "i'm on a diet," as him flirting with jiang tian ;)

i think, after jiang tian's little speech about how he wanted to help sheng wang, the clouds in sheng wang's pretty head were cleared up. from that moment, i believe, sheng wang knew that he wanted something more with jiang tiang—some more from jiang tian. he was finally certain that he could somewhat be closer to jiang tian now, without fearing the distance or reluctance—because jiang tian was also giving sheng wang an opening.

the i'm on a diet line is just a (not so subtle) hint that sheng wang wants jiang tian to have all of him; if he pushes himself toward jiang tian, jiang tian has to catch him. it's their unsaid promise once jiang tian carried sheng wang upstairs. jiang tian could've let go. but he didn't.

so... i think it's more of sheng wang flirting (and asking) jiang tian to hold onto him, to trust him, to stand on the same line with him, to be together.

i hope this helps <3
