Question about a line from ep 28

[china_shop]

During Wang Xiangyang's treasure hunt in ep 28 (39:05), Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan are walking down a street looking for the phone box when...





... seemingly out of nowhere, Zhao Yunlan laughs and says, "Hei lao-ge, you won't blame me, right?"





Shen Wei stares at him for a moment, then walks off, leaving Zhao Yunlan looking rueful before he follows.

Anyone have a theory what that's about? Is it a belated "You're not mad at me for touching the Hallows, right?" or something else?

Yes! ZYL is making his "too cute to stay angry at" face! (And going by the first screencap, it's a completely calculated move, too. Heh.) But it doesn't work. Shen Wei doesn't give an inch!

This works really well for me as an explanation. Thanks! <3

(I think I was thrown off by the tense making it sound like it was a future thing, not a past thing.)

But it doesn't work. Shen Wei doesn't give an inch!

Exactly! So the next question is ... what is going on in Shen Wei's head?

I suspect it's something along the lines of "If I give him any leeway at all, he'll just do it [touch the Hallows] again next time it seems like a good idea. Doesn't he understand a) how precious his life is, and b) what's at stake?!!"

(Hi, very belated reply, sorry!)

[trobadora]

Yeah, that makes sense! Also, "He's already gone blind once, why was that STILL not enough to get him to stop!!!!" *g*

(Hi! :D)

Plus maybe some "that is not Zhao Yunlan's sincere smile"?

[trobadora]

Oh! Yes, that's got to be part of it.
