Focus on: Shen Wei covering Zhao Yunlan in his jacket in episode 26

Location of scene: episode 26, 05:42-07:09

This is a short scene, so there’s not that much text here, but there is an excessive number of screencaps, because Shen Wei is just so pretty, and the whole scene is so soft and lovely, I couldn’t stop myself.

Scene set-up: Shen Wei’s place got ransacked, so he’s staying with Zhao Yunlan. They talk over what happened on Zhao Yunlan’s leather sofa. Shen Wei took off his suit jacket; Zhao Yunlan is in his leather jacket. They start going through case files; the scene cuts.

Next we see them . . .





We start with a very nice close-up on Shen Wei cutting an orange (and a shout-back to episode 8 where there was a plate with orange peel in Zhao Yunlan’s kitchen!). He finishes cutting it, carefully transfers the orange to a plate to serve to Zhao Yunlan, and dries his fingers.



Then he looks back to Zhao Yunlan, ready to call him.





And he stops when he notices that Zhao Yunlan has fallen asleep over the case files.



He looks extremely fond (he loves him so much! It’s so domestic!) and walks over to Zhao Yunlan.





He proceeds to carefully and lovingly cover him with his own suit jacket. It’s better than any blanket with the power of love ;;; It kinda looks as if he wants to sit down on the sofa, but then decides against it (not to disturb Zhao Yunlan? To get a better look at him?).





Zhao Yunlan is asleep. Shen Wei looks pensive.

















Shen Wei sits on Zhao Yunlan’s coffee table. He keeps looking at Zhao Yunlan. He digs out his pendant of pining from under his shirt and holds it.







Finally, he smiles.

Questions:

  1. What was Shen Wei thinking of? Do you think he was considering his own plan to stop Ye Zun? What made him smile in the end like that?

  2. Do you think bb Shen Wei had ever woken up to see Kunlun had covered him with his clothes?

It's so soft and sweet and gentle and tender and millions of other words to express how blissfully wonderful this moment is!

It's such a gift, isn't it? Showing us all Shen Wei's FEEEEELINGS!!

Thanks so much for the soundtrack and novel info. That's really interesting!

He wants moments like this to last forever, but he's lived long enough to know that's impossible. So it's better to live in such moments to the fullest because there may not be another one again.

Yes, that's one of the things I love about him. He's good at planning and strategising for the future, but still able to stop and appreciate what's in front of him, enjoy the little things, cook a fine meal, etc. It's a wonderful balance. *hearts*

I've wondered if Shen Wei has seen Kunlun fall asleep many, many times back then, and has kept those moments close to his heart. So to see it happen in the present feels all the more special: it's deja vu for SW, and he gets to witness the first time ZYL fall asleep in his company like this. ^_^
