I’m sad I couldn’t make it to the rewatch this time :(
In short, Zhao Yunlan wants Shen Wei to admit the truth out loud; Shen Wei wants Zhao Yunlan to let it go without anything being said out loud.
This is an excellent analysis of what makes this conversation so frustrating for both of them <3
I understand Zhao Yunlan wanting to talk openly now that they are seemingly on the same page and his frustration is so palpable when Shen Wei keeps ignoring his questions. I really emphasize with him in this scene; he has no idea what else Shen Wei is keeping from him, or why.
There is another scene much later on that puts Zhao Yunlan on the opposite side of a similar interaction: When he is trying to let Zhu Hong down gently, but she keeps pressing for an answer (episode 31 iirc) . In that scene it is Zhao Yunlan who refuses to just say the truth they both know out loud.
Shen Wei undresses to have his consciousness measured; Zhao Yunlan leans in
I’m salivating over Shen Wei’s bare arms<3. But why is he letting them scan him? He must know they might notice he’s not Haixingren.
Also why does Zhao Yunlan give the excuse with the dust? He could just say “I was checking if you’re ok”.
Zhao Yunlan wonders why Shen Wei is here (in Haixing? with the SID?), and considers a new career as a sketch artist. (Shen Yi need fear no competition, LOL.)
Zhao Yunlan’s drawing is adorable. He should also draw little hearts on the page
My favourite theory is that he has a specific "cannot be detected" Dixing power, which is simply always switched on. What's yours?
I also like the idea of some kind of passive Solid Snake power that cloaks him from detection.
Zhu Hong drugs her uncle, and escapes because all the Snake boys love her
I don’t quite get the part where Xiao Guo helps Zhu Hong escape. Like, what’s even the plan?? How is Guo’s disguise helping? She could just leave? And where did they get the wig
On a side note, I want to know what brand of lipstick Zhu Hong uses – perfectly crisp all day, even in combat situations.
