Pei will absolutely take advantage of this, she must know that he's her actual brother.

Just wanna clarify, she's calling him "bro" out of (presumably platonic) familiarity, not because he's actually related to her.

Very Queer indeed. Best lean into it~

The chapter title is just a little bit on the nose...

Omg they actually talk to eachother and just ask instead of making drama. Love it!

Those chibi art remind me of Maple story. I love 'em.

So did Pei Yu make the deal with the devil or did she actually do her research to land as close to Liaoiao as possible? Because you have stars aligning for you and then you have this kind of scenario.

Oh well, I'm not complaining. I do enjoy this. I also like the fake relationship bit. It's an easy foreshadowing with some fresh drama on the horizon.

I think Pei Yu is still a lovable dork on the inside, but covers it up with a mask of smooth and cultivated sophistication demanded by her professional standing.

Why is everyone in chinese manga so damn hot. Whew

Well, at least it makes sense here, since they're all supposed to be in photo models, etc.

Also, what is it about the phrase "this time, it's for real" that just screams "nope, this time ain't it, either"? :'D

"Where's that scent of plum blossom coming from ?"

Hahaha. I loved this chapter. Xing teasing Liaoliao with her "friend" and telling her not to play dumb was already very nice to see. But the last part with the telegraphed falling in love got me grinning wide all the way.

Ahh I love it when my Queers wear their heart on their sleeves while also being quite perceptive. Xing best girl~

Pei Yu is a bit stalkery and is not as emotionally adjusted (likely from her "failed" first love). It's pretty mild though and is ripe for potential character development. And hey, a little bit of manipulation and stalking is okay if the other person is into you. Hope it doesn't escalate or at least, I hope it gets addressed. Liaoliao has a sense of what's going on at least.

Wow, they use a meme.
Now love triangle?

Aaand just like that Liaoliao is forgotten and all the readers want to focus on Ren Xing and Hua Fang.

Maybe because most stories are about idol singers, actresses and supermodels?

Also, what is it about the phrase "this time, it's for real" that just screams "nope, this time ain't it, either"? :'D

The implication is that she tends to fall in "love" with pretty girls at first sight but it usually turns out to be just a passing crush -- but this time she's convinced it's true love for real.

And I'm certain that yes, this time it's going to be true love. Because that's how manhua work.

Is Hua Fang supposed to be someone we already know?

Oh baby,a meme.

Looks like Lawrence Ng from the TVB series Healing Hands.

I love Ren Xing already

Reminds me of some Donna Summer lyrics: "THIS TIME I KNOW IT'S FOR REAL!"

Interesting turn with the Mom. Lots of characters being introduced all at once, but at least they're doing a decent enough job of it compared to some others I've read.

Yeah, it's much easier to keep track of side characters when they are introduced after the MCs have been firmly established, than when everyone is front-loaded at once. Composition-wise, it's one of the better strips I've read.

Nice.

Keep trying Pei Yu! Good start with the cooking showcase!

For some reason this series manages to juggle with the hard art of "convenient seduction/confession blocks" quite well. You can't be mad because everything is so pretty, cute or just funny.

God, this is so adorable!!!

Pei Yu is a strategist, developing a long term seduction campaign, which she will likely succeed at because a) Liao is already head-over-heels for her (see: Idiot couple), and b) Liao is only capable of localized counter-offensives wherever Pei Yu overextends her supply lines, like in the body wash case. As long as as Pei Yu keeps developing her advance across the whole front as she has been until now, each individual "confession block" will inevitably end up enveloped and smothered into non-existence.

Also, love the supportive shipper mom. :-)

Ah, but will Pei Yu prove capable in operational art, thus avoiding the status of disaster lesbian, or will her offensive prematurely culminate into piecemeal attempts at flirtation, with long operational pauses to recuperate from embarrassment? We've seen a steady operational tempo with the seduction tempo so far, and Pei Yu seems to possess unity of horny command, but a lack of tactical experience may lead to failure to penetrate Liao Liao and her defenses.
