One of my favorite things after watching LLTG is looking forward to your rambling posts!
When you mentioned Mei Changsu, I internally squealed. I was discussing this with my best friend from an earlier episode where Zisheng was paying respects to those who passed away, and there were the memorial tablets of all those behind the curtains that were lit, and as beautiful and heartbreaking it was, it reminded me too of Nirvana in Fire and what Mei Changsu was doing. I told my friend how I saw it as paying homage to NiF and Wu Lei being Hu Ge’s protégé from there.
I totally agree with you that Zisheng does not have to tell NN everything too! I don’t think she would listen either as much because she’s the type who seems to have to do things to find out for herself. But of course, I hope this means she’ll continue to have character growth. My frustration was the same when NN uses the victim card of “well, this is how I am.”
I was bothered by Zisheng apologizing to NN about raising his voice or getting mad. I felt he had a right to, and to not indulge what feels like a child being bratty at times. I think it’s important they talk things out and accommodate, but so far, it’s definitely Zisheng who has been the one giving in to NN.
It bothered me too that Zisheng apologised to Niaoniao repeatedly. I didn't feel like he had to apologize for anything he said and in the end he let her do what she wanted while he cleaned up after her mess. But I suppose the drama wants to show him making accommodations although I think he's done plenty. To be honest, as far as this show is concerned, I always labour under the assumption that Zisheng is the adult in the room and Niaoniao is the one who has to get up to speed.

He really has done plenty in the accommodating department, so I also hope it's going to be our girl catching up to this.
What I saw in Episode 36 certainly gave me reason to hope.
