@rainie; true rainie! but to me zhi shu comes across as a person who is too logical and completely out of tune when it comes to feelings. he also lacks the understanding that he needs to express himself to the people he cares for .he is a complete opposite of XY who is extremely expressive and touchy-feely sort of person . his ego is continuosly fed by numerous females including XY who keep going gaga over him . in finale of first season, he confesses his confusion(rather than feelings) and decides to marry XY becoz he is afraid of losing her to ah jin . however now that the threat is over , he might revert back to his old self (even though he is more mellow now).
i believe his confidence comes not from his love for her but her love for him. he is so sure (and rightly so)that no one can replace him in XY's heart and were they to ever seperate, even if he does not try , XY will make an effort to get back since she is unable to let go of him.he in fact boasts of this many times in season 1
1)the scene of first kiss when XY says she will find someone better than him and forget him and he sneers at her saying really , is she even capable of doing that
2) when the admirers of XY fight in restaurant, he calmly takes in the scenerio and tells them they are wasting thier energy , they are incapable of surpassing him in xy's heart.
3)in the confession scene he is unable to believe that ah jin has managed to make XY fall for him and he keeps asking her if she loves him and that he has a right to interfere becoz she loves him(not he loves her)
4) when XY denies caring for zhi shu in front of her father and zhi shu's parents, zhi shu quotes her loveletter word by word
the point is that he always uses Xy's love for him as a reason to be together and not his own feelings for her(once again he is absolutely a jerk when it comes to tenderness). i for one wondered thru out the series that if it is worth winning love at the cost of such humiliation and uncaring attitude.
