"He's in his first serious relationship; he's finally "landed" Shen Wei, who he's been pining after for months; Shen Wei bit his own wrist open the night before, so this is clearly not going to be a drama-free relationship; also, not to overlook the fact that Shen Wei is the Emissary and there's clearly history between him and ZYL's previous incarnations... it's all A LOT..."
Oh wow, yep, and this is why the "brain full of rainbows, butterflies and unicorns" part was cut, isn't it? Because it does make more sense if he hasn't actually fully moved on from all of that, and is still acting out. He clearly feels better than the previous night, and the morning was very nice, but straight-up forgetting all of that stuff this quickly is not really an option.
"Mostly, I think ZYL's astuteness saw through Cong Bo's swagger and realised that under it all, Cong Bo has a conscience that can be weaponised against him. *g*"
I do love that he was 100% right! ZYL being seemingly careless in really, really smart ways is one of my favorite things. :D
