Like, is that dust falling, when Lin Jing covers Shen Wei to protect him, or stomach juices?
Oh god, better not think about it XD
It's a tiny spark that I think is only extinguished when Lin Jing comes back and Shen Wei doesn't.
There is absolutely a spark going out when he realizes Shen Wei is truly gone. You can literally see the light leave his eyes.
He can't even grasp it, can he?
I had forgotten, but Ye Zun actually spells this out in the next episode: “In this world everyone [is] filled to the brim with cheating, betrayal, and abandonment”
He could have just collapsed on the table like Shen Wei in the mountains. (I wonder if Ye Zun has even drunk much in this era? It's not like he has anyone to drink with before this.)
Oh yeah, they are twins after all. He hasn’t had a lot of opportunity for social drinking. He could always get wasted in private I guess?
Though I do wonder whether, if Zhao Yunlan had tearfully greeted him in a "thought you were dead" kind of way, Ye Zun might have played it differently.
He would totally play along and see how far he can take this. And then pull the rug out painfully.
Like, maybe part of that kind of abuse is making the victim feel they deserve it, you know?
I get what you mean! Have we seen signs of self-victim-blaming in Ye Zun, though? I can’t think of any. My interpretation was that he’s well aware he was a victim in this situation, and his resentment is focused on Shen Wei and the rebel chief.

Thank you 🐈
