Poll: What would Shen Wei do? (+ Chinese endearments)

So, inspired by a comment by [personal profile] teaotter in [personal profile] extrapenguin [personal profile] china_shop's poll, I have started four different sketches of Shen Wei writing on Zhao Yunlan with his calligraphy brush. I still have to figure out a lot of perspective stuff and anatomy but I ran into a problem for one of the sketches showing Yunlan's back: what the devil would Shen Wei write? I know that Chinese endearments are a topic that I only have a hazy idea of (double part of the name, add xiao- or Ah-, that's as far as I got). I found this interesting post on livejournal which may be useful to some of you. Maybe some of you could refresh my memory of what Shen Wei calls Zhao Yunlan in canon? I only remember him using the full name.

Of course, what he'd write depends to some extent on which vision you have of him as a character (e.g. level of possessiveness).
So, here's where you all come in. What do you think?

He would write an incredibly appropriate classical love poem that I am in no way qualified to suggest. It would be super beautiful, that's for sure.
