I love that finding out the Envoy's secret identity/situation (not only living in Haixing pretending to be a regular Haixingren, but also apparently having a ~thing~ going on with Zhao Yunlan) in no way affects Chu Shuzhi's absolute loyalty

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS this!

And the bow moment, what a good pick, too! Those are all such excellent points! ♥ ♥ ♥

(Does Chu Shuzhi making Lin Jing delete the video of the Envoy count as a Chu Shuzhi & Shen Wei moment? Probably not, but I just remembered that, and I love it so much, with Chu Shuzhi trying to protect the Envoy's dignity from his gossiping co-workers. :D)

Ha, I think it only does by proxy, like the GCC bow. Not really enough to include in the poll, but definitely worth a mention (and I'd forgotten that, so thanks for bringing it up!). :DDD

with Chu Shuzhi trying to protect the Envoy's dignity from his gossiping co-workers. :D)

Do you think it's just protecting his dignity, or might there be some protecting his mystique as well? *ponders*

[trobadora]

Idk if Chu Shuzhi would think in terms of mystique, I think he foremost feels the Envoy is owed the utmost respect, and he won't stand for people being disrespectful (as far as he can help it around these guys, LOL).

[china_shop]

Maybe mystique was the wrong word. But something more than respect? Like, the Envoy is too great a figure to be committed to mere video? Idk, I don't think I can cohere this vague feeling into words right now. :-)

*waves goodnight* <3

[trobadora]

Yeah, I think I know what you mean, but I'd fold that into "respect" because I don't have a good word for it either. *g*

Sleep well!

[china_shop]

Maybe reverence? It's a kind of blasphemy, isn't it? To furtively film the Envoy.

ETA: Ooh, ooh, you have a kneeling icon! I don't think I've noticed that before. *heart eyes*

[trobadora]

Devotion? Blasphemy is definitely the right word there.

And yeah, it's a great icon! amedia made it for me. :D

[facethestrange]

I totally get what you mean, I always get this vibe from this scene too! Like, 'don't just FILM him like he's a REGULAR PERSON'. :P

[china_shop]

Yes!!! And especially since Lin Jing is a scientist and could use that video for unauthorised research somehow! (Good think Chu Shuzhi doesn't know about the spying, or he'd be even more fierce!)

[facethestrange]

Oooh, yep, 'don't dissect him, you sacrilegious assholes'. :P

Ahhh, I love this scene!! :D Especially Wang Zheng and Zhu Hong lovingly judging him for fanboying the Envoy so much. :D
