Apologies to that one person who said they don't believe Xia Fei to be evil [S3E9]
That opening scene was *wonderful*. It finally showed me soooo many things in such a short time. Xia Fei showed so much distrust towards Vein it absolutely shocked me, I thought he was gonna be his loyal little puppy but NO.
First, when Vein was inviting him to sit beside him Xia Fei instead sat across from him, a tiny bit of resistance. Then he kept brushing off any info he learned when Vein was questioning him, I wonder where his loyalty lies now tho. There was a constant reminder that Vein and Liu Xiao don't trust him, and Xia Fei is bothered by that, maybe he has plans of his own and he doesn't want them to keep track of his every move???
Finally, in that scene where he finally finds out Vein is alive, he doesn't exactly seem happy. He seems cautious or maybe even angry against LX, like maybe he doesn't believe this is the real Vein, or maybe he's angry that they faked his death and tricked him this whole time? Either way, he does *not* seem like he's fully behind the Evil Vampire Boy Band group like I thought.
I'm also just now realizing, when Lu Guang interrogated him about Vein, Xia Fei was really hurt and said he is dead, and perhaps that's what he fully believes and this new Vein is an impostor in his mind maybe? Idk but the cliffhanger at the end of ep9 didn't make me believe he was actually going against our main group, he seems conflicted and I think he's going to either end up helping WL/CXS/LG, or he's just gonna create chaos to stop the Sopranos or whatever that group was called (which will indirectly help the main trio anyway)
