Jinshi's Smooth "Chin Lift"! Maomao Is Helpless Against Such Naturalness!? "The Apothecary Diaries"

In Episode 39, the "chin lift" performed by Jinshi (CV: Takeo Ōtsuka) was so natural that Maomao (CV: Aoi Yūki) didn't even think to resist!

Due to the carelessness of Maomao's friend, Xiaolan (CV: Misaki Kuno), an incident occurred where ice intended for a high-ranking consort was broken. To help Xiaolan, Maomao decided to create a substitute for the iced confection the consort desired. Consequently, Maomao was forced to ask Jinshi, "Could you please lend me the kitchen and some ingredients?"

In response, Jinshi approached Maomao, saying, "Then let me add a condition," and smoothly lifted her chin with his finger. Bringing his face close to the unresisting Maomao, he told her, "Listen to me until I'm finished." While Maomao usually gives Jinshi the cold shoulder, she was defenseless against such a natural "chin lift."

Fans online were buzzing over Jinshi's effortless move, with comments like "Lord Jinshi is getting aggressive," "How can a chin lift be that natural?" "They're too close! I can't stop grinning," and "He's such a flirt... (lol)."
