Is Zhao Yunlan a good boss? (a good cop? a good Guardian?) Do you find him likeable so far?
I think he's clearly competent at his job, and I enjoy reading about him being outrageous and cynical and all that, but I can't say I quite like him yet. And he's definitely not a good boss, considering how he handles poor Xiao-Guo. At least he pretends to be a little bit professional here? But then he then sends him off on an undefined mission he's 10,000% unqualified for (thankfully with Daqing as backup).
Some notes on these chapters:
I love how handing over the ointment and the "are you married" line - two bits separated by several episodes in the drama - are the same scene here! Hee!
Instead, he lifted Shen Wei's hand and gently held the back of it while he casually entered his own name and number into Shen Wei's contacts.
And, like a peacock with its tail spread, seizing every opportunity to display his colorful plumage and spread his hormones around, LOL! Spot on!
And then "A-Lan", OMG. ZYL, you really have no shame. Openly flirtatious, and he's coming on so hard. Awww.
For that brief moment as he glanced down, the faint desolation evaporated. His face tightened, as if carved to reveal a silent, murderous intent.
Ooh, that is such a gorgeous description, and the drama gets that extreme switch across so well.
Hadn't it been just a slightly eerie hallway? Hadn't it been just a little dark and creepy? Hadn't his boss just said something ambiguous? How had it all made him faint?
This, and then his thoughts about Lu Ruomei's death - Xiao-Guo still hasn't grasped what genre he's living in. *g*
Zhao Yunlan lied through his teeth without even needing to make notes. Daqing, listening beside his head, nearly threw up from disgust.
LOLOLOL!
Daqing meowed lazily, sprang from his shoulder like a ball shot from a bow, and rolled away at the speed of light.
Hee! What a visual. :D
Shen Wei paused awkwardly. Earlier, precisely none of his attention had been on the person before him now.
Haha, oh, Shen Wei. ♥ He's really good with Xiao-Guo (and later Li Qian), though, once he decides to pay attention. Even if he does use the opportunity to question Xiao-Guo about Zhao Yunlan. ♥ ♥ ♥
And I love Xiao-Guo's perspective on him! (Also, love that Shen Wei calls him "Officer Xiao-Guo" - he can't bring himself to leave out the "xiao", can he. *g*)
"What I mean is..." Guo Changcheng tugged foolishly at his hair. He'd been able to say so much for once out of sympathy. He was on the verge of admiring himself. "Come on, don't cry. When my grandma first passed away, I thought my world was collapsing too. I remember thinking, now I'll never get the chance to be a filial grandson again, so what's the point of studying and working hard? Back then, I would even have traded my life for hers, but..." He sighed. "Anyway, I'm not good with words. I just mean don't be sad. Our relatives who have passed away are still watching over us." It would've been better if he'd stopped talking while he was ahead.
LOLOLOL! But I love Xiao-Guo's anecdote about his dreams of his grandmother, even if he has no idea what he's saying, or how it's hitting Li Qian!
It makes sense to me that the drama decided to streamline things and only have one hospital setting, rather than having the clinic and the hospital as two separate places.
I love how hard Shen Wei tries with Li Qian's family, and ugh, poor Li Qian that no one cares about her.
Guo Changcheng sat at Li Qian's bedside and suddenly grasped why she was so sad, why her emotional reaction was so extreme, why she'd sobbed to the point of convulsions and had even tried to jump off a building. Perhaps the only person in the world who'd loved her was no longer there. From now on, there was no one to care about her happiness, anger, sadness, or joy. No one would be watching over her, encouraging her to test her wings while also wishing she could stay a little longer in the nest.
1) That is gorgeously described again! And 2) yay for Xiao-Guo catching on, and for his deeply felt empathy!
