Yeah, at this point they're both keeping secrets from each other. Which they also do in the drama, though there ZYL hasn't got nearly as close to the truth, of course.

Remind me where in the drama ZYL keeps secrets from SW? I'm blanking.

I think the red envelope is how GCC's uncle finds out he's working at the SID -- so actually, this is more like SW & ZYL running into Guo Ying at the DoS, now I come to think of it, which was what led to the dinner. (I can't remember if the dinner happens in the novel.)

I'm all for the two of them being stalkery at each other, but IMO that doesn't mean anything goes, you know?

Absolutely!! There's (fantasy) stalking, and then there's riding roughshod over feelings, or impinging on people's autonomy.

Honestly, personally I never felt it was particularly creepy.

Really? Huh. I would be pretty disturbed to know I'd been being surveilled like that...

She really doesn't know much about his life, which, honestly, I find pretty sad.

He does work for a secret government department that routinely wipes people's memory, so I suppose it can't be helped. (I wonder how many people know there are yao living among them...)
