Jinshi's Natural "Chin Lift" Activated! How Does Maomao React to the Handsome Eunuch's Heart-Fluttering Move... "The Apothecary Diaries"

The stunningly handsome Jinshi (CV: Takeo Ōtsuka) pulled off an "ikemen move"... In episode 39 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," the "chin lift" that Jinshi performed on the defenseless Maomao (CV: Aoi Yūki) is a scene guaranteed to make your heart flutter.

In episode 39, Xiaolan (CV: Misaki Kuno), who is close to Maomao, carelessly broke the ice that was supposed to be presented to a high-ranking consort. To help Xiaolan, Maomao decided to make a substitute frozen dessert that the consort desired. With no other choice, she consulted Jinshi, the eunuch who manages the rear palace, asking, "Could you lend me the kitchen and ingredients?"

Jinshi said, "Then I'll set a condition," and took one step closer to Maomao. Gently lifting the chin of the nervous Maomao with his finger, he told her, "Listen to what people have to say until the end." Maomao, who had been tense wondering what he would ask of her, was taken aback by Jinshi's unexpected words, saying, "Is that all you need?"

While Maomao showed almost no reaction to Jinshi's "chin lift," viewers online were swooning one after another, posting comments like "Too close. Grinning," "Such a smooth talker..." and "Thank you so much." Maomao, who appeared completely unfazed, also drew attention with comments like "Maomao's so dry" and "I love this side of Maomao."
