Pic Spam: Hei Pao Shi in Plain Sight

[awanderingcoyote]

I always love especially prior to the identity reveal the little moments when Hei Pao Shi could be seen through the veneer of Professor Shen Wei.

For this particular pic spam, I’m going to focus on the first episode - though I'd like to do all the earlier episodes prior to the identity reveal - where we catch a glimpse of Hei Pao Shi peeking out from beneath.

I am going to start us off with a non-HPS pic, but one of my fave pics in the first episode of Professor Shen Wei :D

Okay okay time for some HPS hiding in plain sight 😊

PS: These are chronologically in order in episode 1! :D

This particular picture for my brain screams HPS :D  SO I will affectionately call this first glimpse!

 

The next pictures are probably the most iconic as we roll into Shen Wei seeing Zhao Yunlan for the first time!!!  This one reminds me intensely of young HPS/YOHE HPS.


Slightly less YOHE HPS as he pets Da Qing and Zhao Yunlan speaks to him.


Pensive HPS as he reads the SID files!


HPS is feeling sus as he chats with Li Qian or as I mentally tagged the pic sus HPS :D

This is where Shen Wei is chatting with Zhao Yunlan to try and keep Zhao Yunlan’s suspicion off of Li Qian.  During the whole conversation he’s all smiles/innocent Professor Shen Wei and in this moment, where he asks if Dixing and Haixing people are so different, his face to me becomes very serious.  

Sus HPS again!

Shen Wei meets up with Li Qian at the school and helps her pick up her dropped papers/books.  In the midst of it he senses something wrong/off/the sundial or the shadow man?  Possibly both!!

Li Qian shows the sundial to Shen Wei/HPS.  The shadow man finally manifests as well!


THEY RUN!  And out comes SERIOUS HPS!!

More serious and jaw clenching HPS.


HPS listens for the approach/to the approach of the shadow man.


HPS comforts Li Qian.

There’s the whole fight with the shadow man before they go to the roof, but the screen captures were super blurry, but know there was a lot of jaw clenching HPS showing during it!

They are on the rooftop!




You shall not pass HPS!


A close of of HPS eyes :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

 

OH no HPS realizes they are no longer alone! Time to abort HPS eyes!


And for our final picture a nice little team shot. We just need Zhu Hong to make it complete!

Some points to ponder:

• What is your favorite HPS peeking through moment? Any episode not just the first!
• Did I forget any moments in episode 1? There were so many good moments that weren't just HPS eyes!
• Do people think there's more HPS peeking through moments prior to the identity reveal? After? Or maybe a similar amount in pre/post reveal?

I love rewatching the episodes to search for clips and nuances and every time I rewatch them I always feel like i'm finding something new :D   

I hope everyone enjoys these pics!! :D

♥ ♥ ♥ These are WONDERFUL! All the sus side-eyes! The You Shall Not Pass! What an excellent picspam theme. Thank you for this collection! :D

P.S./ A few of my favorite peek-through moments:
Episode 13 (as other comments mentioned!)
Episode 3 when Wang Yike's touch doesn't affect him and he walks forward
Episode 15 when he loses it over the Regent reporting that the Dijun Register is lost
Episode 18 when he has his blade pointed at Yehuo

Episode 3 when Wang Yike's touch doesn't affect him and he walks forward

YESSSS that little step forward is amazing!

And I love everything about him unleashing his anger at the Regent. :D

Episode 18 when he has his blade pointed at Yehuo

Ohhh, yes! Glorious! *rewatches* (And for that matter, when he confronts Ye Huo in the street, before Ye Huo motorbikes away, he starts out in his robes, but then switches to his Haixing suit without stopping being the Envoy. ♥ ♥ ♥)
