Honestly, I'm just getting distracted by these gorgeous screenshots. Shen Wei really does look So Good here.
My favourite thing about this scene is Shen Wei tucking Zhao Yunlan's hand back under the duvet - it's such a small but intimate and caring gesture and I adore it. And that Zhao Yunlan doesn't wake up while he'd doing it. Because he's tired, but also Shen Wei's touch is clearly familiar at this point and I'm very happy to extrapolate that more touching has preceded this scene ;)
I think Shen Wei just couldn't help himself re: staying at Zhao Yunlan's bedside. He's got that tendency anyway, and he's really worried because Zhao Yunlan faffed with the Hallows AGAIN (the last time made him blind and Shen Wei can only sacrifice his own health to fix that sort of thing once) - clearly he can't be trusted to be sensible about his own health as soon as Shen Wei isn't directly watching over him. I'd also suggest that maybe quietly sitting at Zhao Yunlan's bedside is the closest Shen Wei gets to proper rest during that time and he knows he needs to be at his (already wonky) best if they're to solve this case before the deadline.
As for the Hallows vision, I always thought it was a side-effect of Zhao Yunlan having travelled (/will travel) through time via the Hallows, so he's already, idk, sensitive to temporal stuff? But I didn't catch Shen Wei saying that about the Awl, so that might be a better theory.
