My answers:

Post-Envoy reveal!! That Shen Wei apologises for not telling Chu Shuzhi sooner! But even more, 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, respect and commitment to the Envoy.

And my "other" is in episode 1, when the Envoy makes his first appearance: Chu Shuzhi pushes Xiao Guo into a bow, and I love how it shows Chu Shuzhi's deep respect for the Envoy, his sense of hierarchy, and as a pleasing side-effect, how he's training Xiao Guo to be equally respectful and to know his place. (I don't think Chu Shuzhi is consciously thinking about this, but making a well-connected young Haixingren bow to the Ambassador of Dixing must be so satisfying on some level, given how badly Haixing treats Dixingren generally.)

POLL YAY. :D :D

Definitely post-reveal (I love how much it's winning! ♡), especially because of how Zhao Yunlan's reaction makes them both laugh. :D

And the banner! Especially because of the slooooow unrolling, lol.

And the second rendezvous in the park because the bomb foreshadowing is neat. *admits grudgingly* xD

Hell yeah, great topic! Love these two so much♥️
It's hard to pick a favourite! I chose the second rendezvous in the park, because it features Heipaoshi admitting a vulnerability to Chu Shuzhi ♥️
But I also really like when he comes to rescue/recruit Chu Shuzhi. And when Shen Wei apologises for not revealing himself to him. ♥️♥️♥️

I love this poll. :) And of course "I will support you unconditionally" is my favorite Chu Shuzhi and Shen Wei scene, but that episode 2 rendezvous in the park is a close second. I just really like 'showing respect and subservience by kneeling' scenes. :)

They're all such great scenes! There are so few scenes that focus on these two, but they all pack such a punch, it feels like more.

I voted for the post-reveal scene, like everyone lese (LOL), because it encapsulates their entire dynamic so well, Shen Wei treating Chu Shuzhi as a friend and apologising for not telling him, while Chu Shuzhi with his absolute loyalty never thinks he's owed anything at all. But I also hbad to pick the interrogation scene because that's one of my favourite scenes in the entire drama, and Shen Wei is such a magnificent troll in it while Chu Shuzhi is so confident in his "no one could possibly measure up to the Envoy" attitude, and I always want to know how Chu Shuzhi reacted when he remembered that scene after the Envoy reveal.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! This was so hard. Love all those moments!!!!

I picked 1 because of the surprise factor and how mysterious it made things.
