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

[mekare]

So, inspired by a comment by teaotter in extrapenguin 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?

I feel like his most possessive "mine" moments are when he's annoyed, so while he definitely thinks it, he might not be thinking it at the right time for leisurely erotic skin-writing. That's not to say he wouldn't write 'property of Shen Wei' though, because Zhao Yunlan would like it, and Shen Wei would write things to make him smile.

....but what he writes on ZYL's back where he can't see, or what he writes once ZYL is asleep? Protection sigils. Health, long life, defense, anything he can think of.

Oooh. Yes. Especially while ZYL is asleep. :D

Now I want a fic where he overstimulates Yunlan into oblivion for the purpose of getting some secret writing time. *headdesk*

[trobadora]

OMG. You have the best ideas.

WANT. *grabby hands*

Oh yes definitely! And Yunlan would really really get a thrill out of having ' property of Shen Wei' on him. Where is my kink fic? *looks around inquiringly*

Mmmh your idea with the sigils makes so much sense! So there’s another art I have to do (it's starting to look like a series now) where we get the 'secret writing' one. Aaaand now I have to research sigils... damn. I know some symbols for luck, but health etc. are a mystery to me.

Zhao Yunlan's whole ...everything. I'm a badass free spirit! Take me home and be domestic and possessive at me. XD

I don't know- I was thinking of Japanese omamori, something like these but I don't know what the equivalent would be for China.
