"I can say what I like about them, but it won't explain why those things versus the others."

Yepp, same. :D This is such a fun list, all vibes. :D ♡

"Also, just the whole "Hi, I was thrown off a building, and now my hip is slightly sore" thing is awesome. :D"

Hahah, now that you say it like that, it's so precious, lol aw! ♡ He picked a random-ass consequence and committed to the bit. :D

"Like, he's just so amused that anyone would be worried about this little cut, but also maybe a little happy that ZYL is the kind of person who takes responsibility when someone gets hurt on his watch. <333"

AW, yes, this! ♡♡♡

"(Oh no, now I've thought of an "other" that I should have included in the poll, which is the entire mugging, where Shen Wei is very deliberately letting himself get robbed and letting ZYL rescue him. Awwww.)"

I added 'other' to my vote because of your comment. :D I love this scene so much, and btw I don't even think Zhao Yunlan should be embarrassed about it at all - he wasn't fully informed, but he did so well with what he knew. :D Unlike the whole thing with giving SW the books, which was just objectively ridiculous and unnecessary, lol.

"This is just paper-thin and adorably ridiculous. He knows ZYL won't believe him, but he has to try. (And, like, if ZYL did believe him, it would be a dark-energy power, right? So that's incriminating in another way.)"

I just vote for everything from ep 8 because I love it so much, but also yes this, that's such a good point! ♡

"For all of thirty seconds, lol."

Hahah, falling off the roof only hurts a tiny little bit. :D

"It's the same as CSZ treating Professor Shen the way he did; he was a convincing part of SW's cover, even if he didn't know it!"

Exactly! Plus a really great compliment, in CSZ's case, when he says that SW can never compare to... himself. xD

"Hahaha, aww! It was just the lie that was terrible. Imagine if he'd managed to tell the truth!"

Lol yeah, unfortunately his brilliant plan included the lie. :D It would have been so sweet if he just told Shen Wei that he got him a gift, AW. ♡ (Tho it's still kinda sweet the way it is - he's so in love that he's a total dumbass about it. :D :D)

One of the many highlights of that scene! :D

Yessss. :D :D Though I'm not even sure if *eyes blissfully closed, huge dreamy smile* even counts as lying to himself anymore. :D :D :D

Lolol, I mean, DQ already thinks he's a dumbass, he's not going to make it even worse by saying out loud which body parts he's thinking with. ;D :D :D

Oooh yes, that's a great way of putting it! :D
