"Mostly though, I just love how many truths are exposed by this conversation: ZYL's "I'm not worth it" and SW's response to that; ZYL's insecurity about his place in their relationship; and SW's "this life is what I'm returning to you."
Ikr?? ♡ It's like 'oh, that's a really big emotional reveal'... wait, there's more. SO MUCH MORE. xD
ETA: "I think Shen Wei's smile is intended to reassure, and he thinks it will work because that's what ZYL does."
And now I'm thinking about this again, and idek how to even word what I'm thinking, but like... I can totally see how he can be thinking that without it being performative - it's like he's trying to speak Zhao Yunlan's language. If ZYL thinks this is reassuring, then it must be reassuring for ZYL to see someone else do it? Ahhh, idek, I have more thoughts than I have words, but this is fascinating!
