"Cutting off the nose to spite the face" is an expression to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem: "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one's anger.

Shit bout to get reeeaaall messy up in here. MC might as well kiss his scholastics goodbye lol blond dude gunna cause some fookin dramaaaaa
Here’s how I think it’s gunna go down:
}Blond dude becomes BFF with MC
}Dark haired dude tries to warn MC AGAIN
}MC ignores
}Blond dude fucks MC over
}Dark haired dude rescues MC
}MC still manages to make it dark haired dudes fault

THE MC IS PISSING ME OFFFFFFFFF
like he just had this huge melt down and shit all over whatshisbutt because his grade dropped one place (which is his own fault) and now he’s all yeah sure I can go out drinking with you teehee with Mr Sus. EITHER YOUR GRADES MATTER OR THEY DONT
Hypocrite much?
Ugh it’s got me all in a HUFF (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

I mean, being unable to get the scholarship because you got distracted helping a friend who actually didn’t need it at all must be upsetting. After all, he was deceived. And come on, on such stressful situation, who wouldn’t want to relax a little bit with a friend? (Ignoring the fact that the ‘friend’ is a complete phsyco, but mc doesn’t know it so)

That makes sense, I totally agree. but I understood it to also be he was really mad at himself for allowing himself to be distracted by whathisbutt and his grades falling. Because if he had actually spent all that time studying with him instead of fighting with him and angsting over having to spend time with him his grades would have stayed up.
So they have a huge fight, he cuts off whatshisbutt and acts like he’s going to start focussing only on studying again only to turn around and start drinking with the blond dude. He even admitted he likes him and still stayed away because he needs to concentrate on his grades. That’s the part that I didn’t like.
But I’m one of those obnoxious people who never could see a situation on the grey scale hahaha

Anybody else feeling frustrated with how poor Chung, as a character, has lost all depth and substance? The author barely even has him talk anymore. It’s like he’s just kept around for the smut scenes with Sha Hu Rong. She doesn’t even bother with character development, like how many times does he need to be kidnapped before he STOPS OPENING DOORS TO STRANGERS. Ugh idk ( ̄へ ̄)

Yeah. I am sad that Chung is a character without many outstanding qualities. But I believe that living him without much to say is intentional. I feel like it is up to us to interpret his nature. But judging by the raws, gurl, nothing good is gonna happen. This author has a tendency to create the most unsatisfying endings lol, like in A Paramour.
Whoo hoo!! Thank you for new chapters uploaded!!
Iriya gonna be trouble. I can smell it.
