sometimes on “well, he would be if he weren’t agressively avoiding the thought so hard.”
Ha! You know, that formulation actually works really well...
yeah I mean we never see student!Wei but I kinda feel like between the newness of the grief (it being much closer to when he wakes up), the adjustment, and the sheer innocent babyness of the students none of them would have really cought his interest?
Yes, exactly. I suppose he could always go incognito somewhere else to scratch an itch, but that doesn't really seem like his style either.
oh no have we combined these and now *this* is how/why ZYL ends up fixing things?? I guess it solves the ‘unless he thinks it’ll hurt Shen Wei’ if he started the whole thing on accident 😂
Hee! Now I'm thinking something like a semi-accidental, semi-in-the-spirit-of-full-disclosure blurt of "if I'd known then what I know now, I probably -- no, I definitely would not have. Uh. Had that extremely consensual one-time thing with Lao Chu. Before I met you. Which I didn't regret at all until... right this minute."
(Is Zhao Yunlan a non-strategic blurter? I'm not sure about that part.)
(Ditto! *waves goodnight* ♥)
ETA: Or, oh nooo, what if instead of one-time, it was on-again-off-again, and then Shen Wei has to do a very complicated dance of knowing he has a prior claim, but not wanting Chu Shuzhi to feel disrespected or dismissed!!!! :DDDDD
