I think this is Changcheng saying, essentially, "You tried to break our relationship to protect me, but this relationship is unbreakable." <333333333333333
Yes, this! Exactly! It's delightful. :D
How does Ouyang know the serum is a success just by looking at it? Like, surely the point of the testing/experimentation is to find out if it worked?
I mean, there are presumably all kinds of development and testing stages the serum would go through before there was any point in even testing it on a human. I figured he'd got positive results on a testing stage where previous attempts always failed.
me: I mean, you did dare Minister Gao to come after you. What did you think would happen?
LOL, too true!
I'm not sure the military presence on the street has the reassuring BAU vibe Minister Gao is going for.
What does BAU mean? But yeah, very not reassuring!
Also, putting out an arrest warrant for a respectable consultant/professor. (Does the chancellor know? Does Jiajia??)
I figure the Chancellor at least finds out very quickly when people come looking for Shen Wei at the uni. (Which I assume they do ... it would make sense!) And I don't think he'd bother trying to defend Shen Wei, or want anything to do with him any more afterwards, given how he reacted to Li Qian. (But if Jiajia heard, I hope she'd go after her grandpa until he changed his mind. *g*)
I adore the moment when Shen Wei meets up with Da Qing in the street. Da Qing's meow in human form from behind a barrel
Yes! And I particularly love that Shen Wei recognises him immediately, just from him saying "meow"! :D
♥!! Also, Da Qing says, "Right now, we are without our leader. We're just waiting for you to collect our corpses." But they haven't lost Zhao Yunlan yet. Is that an idiom? I don't quite get it.
Solo's subs have this as "Right now we're leaderless. We're pretty much done for." Idk how accurate that is.
Jumping into the wormhole is possibly the most reckless thing Shen Wei has done in the whole show?
Yes, I think so! Also, for once, choosing something for himself, because he can't lose Zhao Yunlan. ♥ ♥ ♥
and I still think part of the emotional charge of this scene, for Shen Wei, is the resonance with his younger self's encounter with the same man, also at a cliff-edge
100% agreed, yes!
Wait, does that mean there's a pre-existing timeline where Kunlun joined the Allied Forces? Or does he just mean they need a Kunlun (ANY Kunlun) to win? Or that ZYL has to disguise his identity so no one knows about time travel, as this is as good a way as any?)
I figure they think they really REALLY can't afford the loss of morale that would result from everyone knowing the Rebel Leader killed real!Kunlun - that they truly believe that becoming public may risk their chance to win the war. But future!Zhao Yunlan during their first videocall told them they'd win the war, so if they don't win, not only do they lose, the entire timeline gets disrupted. So Zhao Yunlan impersonating Kunlun solves both these problems.
Da Qing touched the Hallows and lived a long time. Zhao Yunlan has touched 'em a lot, too, IJS. *g*
LOL! Yeah, that's definitely an option!
Ma Gui has so much faith in Zhao Yunlan: "Just believe in Zhao Yunlan. He is someone very capable." Based on what? Maybe this is after the sacred wood/alcohol scene?
Very good question! Ha, I like the idea that he thinks Zhao Yunlan is capable because Zhao Yunlan knows about alcohol, LOL.
