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?

With the caveat that I know NOTHING about Chinese poetry except what I can google (on this page):

死生契闊，與子成說；執子之手，與子偕老。

In death or life (we are) separated and far apart; with you I made an agreement: I grasped your hand, Together with you I was to grow old.

(There are a lot more there, mostly sad, but apparently that's most of Chinese love poems.)

This is great thank you! I spent quite some time reading through all those entries. I think Shen Wei would atill have a bit of sadness about their history and the time spent apart, so that’s okay.
