The most powerful foreplay scene ever. Thank you so much for the explanation

Nope, it's Mrs Yi. Mrs Mai has already claimed Mr Yi's discard with 吃 chī, and the turn has moved on to Mrs Yi, who quietly "submits" to what's going on under her nose: hence Mrs Mai claims her discard with 碰 pèng, leaving herself just one more move to win the game.

Another bit of trivia I didn't include in the post: At every turn of the game until her last, Mrs Mai is claiming discards from Mr Yi using 吃 chī (eat), or Mrs Yi using 碰 pèng (strike). Only her final offscreen winning move is a 自摸 zìmō (self-drawn): she's made her own fortune in this game. Glad you enjoyed!

Triumphant, Mrs Mai claims Mrs Yi’s discarded tile with a 碰 pèng, and sallies on with her plan, hastily scribbling the rest of her “un-needed” phone number before claiming Mrs Yi’s tile:

Shouldn’t it be Mr Yi instead of Mrs Yi?

That said, v interesting! Didn’t realise that haha. should watch it again. I just thought it an interesting little piece of subterfuge..

I’m not familiar with the game of mahjong (it does seem fun!) so thanks for doing a step-by-step analysis of how this hand pans out. I got that he somehow let her win, which was cute, and I guess it’s part of their lusty foreplay scenes (the foreplay before the actual foreplay anyway).

Interesting.
