(I don't think Da Qing can leave until much later, since he seems to bail them out around the same time Lao-Chu et al. get rescued, and more happens in between.)

The time compression in this episode is so weird, though. And Da Qing would have to go to the flat, dig out his good suit, find a tie, remember how to tie the tie, and get himself to the DoS... *g*

I guess you're right. *sighs sadly*

Hee! Sorry! <3

but Shen Wei can't know either way, so just the possibility that timelines can be changed is worrying.

But also a relief in this instance! And I mean, I don't think Shen Wei needs to borrow trouble -- he has enough immediate things to worry about. *g*

Both that she's treated with respect, and that there's just no hint of jealousy or love triangle nonsense whatsoever. ♥

Yesss! It wonderful.

(In hold, together I have him saying "you're wrong", but I'm not wedded to that version.)

Oh, yes, that's right. That was so good! <3

I don't think he can know that, though? He clearly expects Shen Wei to come, but he can't be sure the Sundial's activation in particular will alert him; it might instead be Zhao Yunlan being in danger. Like, from Zhao Yunlan's POV, Shen Wei also appeared right in the instant he was in danger when Ding Dun attacked him in Dixing, and no Hallows were involved there ...

I didn't think Zhao Yunlan was conscious by the time Shen Wei showed up during the Ding Dun attack? I was thinking more of Zhao Yunlan starting to take the case off in ep 15, and then Zhao Yunlan says something about how the Envoy always knows. I think at this point, he's aiming to make as big a disturbance in the Force as possible. Anyway, we may have to agree to disagree. :-)

And I think that has to be part of why he's reacting so very strongly when he sees Shen Wei looking so awful and sick that night in the kitchen?

Yes, agreed. He didn't know Shen Wei could be weakened -- that's a lot of why it's so shocking!
