Pic Spam: Affection and Protection!

[awanderingcoyote]

I am such a big ChuGuo fan, and I was pondering what to do for my scene/discussion, and I decided to start looking into all the little moments between Chu Shuzhi and Guo Changcheng, primarily focusing on affection and protection :D

I haven't gotten far yet, but I have scoured the first episode for all the little moments where Guo Changcheng sought out protection from Chu Shuzhi.

In my HC protection is definitely one of Chu Shuzhi's love languages (which I suppose comes down to acts of service?!?!). EITHER WAY, I hope everyone enjoys this little pic spam moment from me :D

Here is the first instance in episode 1 where Guo Changcheng hides behind Chu Shuzhi, albeit he hid behind both Chu Shuzhi and Zhao Yunlan. 


Guo Changcheng is FOR SURE hiding behind Chu Shuzhi here.  


I know it's not Chu Shuzhi in this one, but I just thought it was cute that he was all hiding behind Zhao Yunlan as well.


Oh no, Guo Changcheng scared himself by kicking over some cans (or something!) and Chu Shuzhi is unaware that he has incoming! 


He's for sure aware now XD


We jump ahead to where the Shadow Man has arrived!  Guo Changcheng is definitely arm/coat clutching here. XD


As Hei Pao Shi arrives for the first time XD  This was pretty blurry apologies :) I was just screen grabbing from my videos :)


Chu Shuzhi happily helps Guo Changcheng show the correct respect to HPS' arrival XD LOLOL.


Interesting note here I just realized Lin Jing was the last one to drop his gaze with HPS' arrival.  XD  Even Da Qing is all: I will lower my eyes a little bit. 


Guo Changcheng wants to say something to HPS XD It gets scary for him.  Clearly Chu Shuzhi is less scary than HPS because he immediately scoots closer and arm clutches. 


And that's it!  

I could probably scream to the void for hours on end how much I love their dynamic.  The grump and the sunshine and each trying to protect each other in their own special way :D

Some Points to Ponder and/or questions:

• What are some of your favorite Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng moment?
• When I was re-watching episode 1, I didn't realize how quickly GCC did glom onto CSZ.  For some reason in my brain, it didn't really start until episode 3ish.  I have no idea why my brain felt that!
• No matter how many times I rewatch the series I feel like I spot new things I never noticed the last go around XD  I actually watched the episode with no sound on and I was just all: Oh wow I never noticed that before! at several parts.  Some of it was facial expressions, but also scenery and such too. And I sure have watched the first episode more than once (or twice XD) and this is why I love this show :D

Yesss, I love that so much! One character making another bow to show respect to a third is such a delightful trope! ♥

Awww! And I looove that he speaks up anyway, bless his brave little terrified heart! <3

What are some of your favorite Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng moment?
I love when Changcheng challenges CSZ when Zhao Xinci is doing his terrible loyalty test. Changcheng is still a bit intimidated, but he's fierce, too, and I think Chu Shuzhi is a bit impressed at Changcheng confronting him. And I really love the mahjong scene and the walk home after, and how happy Changcheng is/was to have Chu-ge there with the rest of his home-family. <3333

I do that sometimes, too! It's a great way to properly appreciate their faces and really see their interactions. <333

Awww! And I looove that he speaks up anyway, bless his brave little terrified heart! <3 - YES! I love that too. Being scared doesn't mean you can't be brave :D

That made me think about which Chu Shuzhi thing is bestest, too, and that made me think about the post-dream-sequence conversation where Chu Shuzhi tells coma!Changcheng about his past, and Changcheng wakes up and tells me, "You're a very good person. You're not scary at all." *clutches my heart* <3 <3 <3
