I find it kinda funny that the hospital went 'there's nothing medically wrong with your eyes at all, but hey, have some random medicine and bandages for shits and giggles, now go away'. :P

LOL! (Though, as someone currently avidly watching a hospital show, maybe it was more "we can't find anything medically wrong with your eyes, but there's clearly something going on, and these might help; also, if you experience [any of these symptoms], come back immediately." ;-)

I absolutely love Zhao Yunlan's experiment with the taxi driver and figuring it all out about the merits so quickly (and wondering about the earthquake!). He's always so unassumingly smart and it's wonderful!

Yesss! That was all so great! :D

Or is it because he's partially a god? (If it's explained somewhere later, I forgot. :P)

Is it a cultivation thing, I wonder? Or is it something Kunlun did to Shen Wei? (Is Shen Wei cultivating but failing to whatever-cultivation-is-supposed-to-result-in because of his ghost-nature and the laws of metaphysics?)

Ahh, Zhao Yunlan on the verge of crying but pretending that he's not, and also I think comforted by Shen Wei's presence for real, but also he wants to cry about Shen Wei, ahhh. /not coherent, I just love them so much ♡♡♡

Ahhhhh, that messy ball of intense emotions is all So Good!! :DDDD

1) How does he know if he can't see her?

He can hear it in her voice?

2) Zhao Yunlan, ily, TWO VERY SHORT PARAGRAPHS AGO it was you crying about Shen Wei. xD ♡♡♡

LOLOL! Ever the hypocrite. (But if he genuinely doesn't know about her feelings, he might not equate those two things at all, I guess?)

> > “And that reminds me—Zhu Hong, I’ve told them to set up a private room for you on the third floor. For now, when you can’t transform easily and need to rest, stay there. Don’t take any leave.”

>This is really considerate, aw!


Yes! The kind of consideration that he considers part of his job (and also, he genuinely does care about his team), which she might be inclined to read more into. *pets her*

and also him noticing the missing page with his heavenly eye was a part of the plan and not a flaw in it, wasn't it?

Haha, I'm lost again. ZYL borrowed Soul Book from the SID library (researching something; maybe Kunlun?), and that's where he found his sorcery spell. DQ isn't cultivated enough to read the book. It's origins are a mystery (DQ asks SZ, "Who put it there?"), and ZYL got coffee stains on it. But I don't remember its significance other than that, or what the missing page might mean... is this something that gets explained later?

Shen Wei being playful is so rare and adorable. :)

Yes, it's so lovely! And I love that it's him telling ZYL to shut up -- he sounds just like one of the SID team, lol.

And also it's finally Shen Wei kissing Zhao Yunlan first, without any extra circumstances like being drunk or ZYL being asleep. :)

Oooh, yes. Great point! That makes it even better! :DDD

The question hit Shen Wei right where it hurt. After a bit more silence, he shook his head.

Your quoting this made me stop and go, wow, yeah. What a question to ask Shen Wei!!! *pets him so much* DQ's relief is so good for him -- he needs more people (possibly an endless string of them) reminding him that it's absolutely fine not to be human!

Always my fav Zhao Yunlan ngl, and also is it ever anywhere to be seen. :D :D

Hee! Shameless is 1000% his brand. :D (Which makes it even more marked how self-conscious and awkward he got around Shen Wei after the Emissary reveal.)

I love that they were holding hands in the first place, and I love this even more. ♡♡♡ (And this may as well be where I subconsciously got the idea that drama Shen Wei fixed Zhao Yunlan's sock after all in episode 8. xD)

Ha, entirely fair! :DDD

Can she tell what happened just from looking at his eyes? Or does she know it from DQ?

The fact that she looks closely at his eyes suggests to me that she can see the signs there. Maybe the Crow left talon or feather imprints on his retinas?

Was hoping that Zhao Yunlan would go to the Yao market to heal his eyes ALSO part of the plan to bring back his memories? He wouldn't have heard this otherwise.

It's an intricate plan, but they could be taking a gamble. If it doesn't work out, they'll just try something else.

(Also, more than half of this volume takes place in two days!)

Haha, that's bonkers.

He's not there as the Emissary, is he? But the Guardian needs to be protected by him, aw. :D

I think he's being Shen Wei Who Protects ZYL Above All Else, and he's kind of using his Emissary-ness to that end -- right?
