I went with the hanga arc balcony. Because I think for just a moment there, Zhao Yunlan was (almost) buying it.

Aww, yes! Great reasoning!! *pets ZYL* (But really, he's much better off with a super-powered battle boyfriend. ;-p)

*He had those drawings ready, after all. *

I know, right? WHY THE BEAR PICTURES?!? He couldn't possibly have anticipated the video call.

The Working Out A Lot is a special case, because imo it's not trying to be convincing at all.

1000% agree. The whole subtext of that scene is "Will you please just accept that I can't say it?" / "No!"

I also like the last one, where Shen Wei starts to lie purely out of habit XD

Me too! It's so revealing. And in fact, in the very first conversation we see him have, with Professor Ouyang, he says, "I am just an ordinary scholar. I study and teach only." I wonder exactly how many people he's claimed to be ordinary to...
