The scene that leads up to this is the Taxi Scene, beautifully covered by
melinoel616.
Location of the scene: episode 8, starting at 25:36. I'm choosing to treat this as a single scene, even though it's broken up by Zhu Jiu doing villain things in a forest.
Everything about episode 8's crucial relationship scenes is catnip to me. In fact, a description of what happens here -- starting with Shen Wei picking Zhao Yunlan off the curb and taking him home -- was held out to me as a carrot to get me to watch the show properly, instead of catching bits of it on Youtube and thinking that the professor was awful pretty. Needless to say, it worked a treat.
This post features Shen Wei's Microexpression Theatre and a special Zhao Yunlan 'I have an ow, but I don't need any help, but please notice I am suffering, but also I am FINE' Cocktail of Emotional Damage.
( Scene recap, comments, and a number of self-indulgent screencaps )
( What I love about this scene )
( Questions )
If you know of any fanworks that feature this particular moment, please share. And of course I'd love to know what you think about this scene!
