iiangelx3: So RZ was using MXY all along and they were pretending. Glad thats out of the way, but she is wayyyyy too crazy. Anyways I really enjoyed the moment between HX and ZQ, if one of them didn’t like RZ then they would probably become really good friends. I saw the trailors for the next episode which contains a lot of flashbacks, I’m hoping thats because their going to get their memories back soon.
