LOL! Great summaries, great choice of excerpts. :D
*beams*
I think yes, since they haven't witnessed all his growth since he joined the SID - he hasn't shared anything with them and so they haven't seen how he changed.
That's true. They probably know what a scaredy-cat he is, too.
With this, it makes sense that the uncle hadn't realised he was working at the SID - whereas in the drama, where I always thought GCC lived with his uncle and aunt, I really wonder about that!
I think he's just not very talkative. Like, he probably helps out and asks after their days, and they're so used to him not having anything interesting going on that they don't ask. They don't know about his charity work either, iirc.
*grumbles* I want him to be into it because it's Shen Wei's hair, because of what it means to him to see Shen Wei like that, not because he's into this sort of thing in general!
Yeah, I'd like that so much better without the "flawless example of". ;-p
LOL, I love that ZYL is basically going, this story is too OOC, I'm not buying it! :D
Right? That's so good. Self-knowledge!!
This guy definitely has more brains than the Magistrate!
Hee!
*> > Where others put up a facade around outsiders, then relaxed and revealed their true selves with an intimate partner, Shen Wei was the polar opposite. He was accustomed to firmly locking himself down in front of Zhao Yunlan, terrified of his true nature being even slightly perceived.

That is so depressing. :(*
It must be because he knows how perceptive ZYL is, mustn't it? I mean, it's not like he wants anyone to know his true nature, but he knows that ZYL is the one person who can see through him?
I have no idea what I'm supposed to make of this.
I thought his ghostly/Emissary vibe was subtly coming through? Idk, though.
This is worse than Zhang Shi in the drama; at least Zhao Xinci knows he's there and is aware of and party to what's going on!
And consented to it, even if it was after the fact!
I wanted to go and check what "edgelord" was in Chinese, but the JJWXC version instead says, 我又不是我手底下的那个中二小僵尸, which the fan translation renders as, I'm not that childish zombie who works for me" . I definitely prefer edgelord!
Oh, yeah, edgelord is much better.
And yet, this stepfather is the kindest, and easiest to talk to, so Guo Changcheng very adamantly says to his uncle, "I don't want to leave."
Awwww! It's SW who makes him want to stay? Aww!
In order to stay, Guo Changcheng very decisively lies, "Not dangerous at all."
Hee! *pets him*
The first part of this line is iconic ...
How so? (I don't think I've encountered it before.)
He ponders in silence, frowns, and then continues, "But I think, since I grew up with Da Qing that damn fatty, even if he ever wronged me one day, like eloping with a cat mistress, the most I would do is refuse to acknowledge him, I still wouldn't do anything to him."
Interesting -- he's playing his cards closer to his chest in the official translation.
Shen Wei blinks in confusion, not quite sure why the topic has now turned to eloping cats.
LOLOL! (I bet priest hesitated before cutting that line. :D)
no subject
