A great writeup! I always forget how good Da Qing looks in his Olde Haixing clothes, I'll take those over the overalls any time. There is a slight difference in the tone of these, in my opinion, although I can't quite put it into words properly. You'd never believe I work in comms for a living, would you?! Ha! I feel this very much. (I feel like "I'll miss you" is focusing on "how I'll feel when you're gone" and "I hate to be parted from you" on "how I feel, now, saying goodbye to you," but maybe that's too obvious?)
How does Da Qing feel about Zhao Yunlan? I think it's just--this is My Person. It's a relationship that's unique in both their lives and really does work for me as "person and cat"--not exactly friends or brothers and not, at least in my view, at all romantic, but absolutely belonging together and taking that belongingness (in the modern era) totally for granted.
