Yay! *gives you a medal* (I am very nearly caught up for now. :D)
Awww. He's young! Not used to being unexpectedly tired!
This made me LOL. EXACTLY! (So sorry you couldn't find the translation of that saying.)
Shen Wei's ZYL-managing skills aren't bad!
Ye-es. I find that kind of creepy in this context, tho? /o\
(Haha, I got so close to catching up, and then my dinner guest arrived. TBC.) (And by the time I came back, dozens of new comments, yay! But also, necessity of sleep.) (Hi! Good morning. I'm back again! :D)
If she's been in Dragon City 20 years, is that also how long she's been with ZYL, or did that happen later? That's a really long time, anyway.
It is! I hadn't thought about that. So she must be fairly old, right? And now I'm going, it would be hilarious if ZYL was the second youngest person at the SID (after Xiao Guo). :D He maintains his authority via job title and sheer chutzpah and divine right, I guess, given the Soul Guarding Order. :D (Do we know how old Lin Jing is?)
Ooh, and that's why before the drama version of the kitchen scene, ZYL wakes up with his phone in his hand!
I thought the implication was just that he fell asleep while messing around on his phone. (Sorry! Both things can be true -- the phone can do double duty.)
But I'm very glad there's no physical violence in the drama version.
Yes! I love that too.
It's so fascinating to me that in the novel, ZYL walks out, whereas in the drama, SW is the one who leaves.
In the novel, Shen Wei has just given him answers, but in the drama, he gives him more questions. ZYL is standing there, grappling with confusion and would probably ask more once he'd formulated a single thought. And also, in the novel, by leaving, ZYL is removing the reason for SW's cutting; in the drama, SW's cutting isn't motivated by ZYL at all -- Shen Wei is the one feeling like crap, and he wants to go away and deal with it in private (I think?).
Aw, Lin Jing! It's sort of sweet that the only reason he can imagine is imposed from the outside.
Aw, that's a good point. (Maybe self-imposed reasons usually don't make people leave home?)
And it's just hilarious that coats are for claw-sharpening in Daqing's world. ♥
Hee, yes!
At least her timing here is better than drama!ZH's, who pulls this right in the middle of a crisis!
Ha, true. Though her drama love confession does add to the tension in a delicious way, imo. Like, drama!ZYL is navigating so many emotional currents, right then.
In the fan translation, when they find ZYL sleeping at the SID, Zhu Hong takes off her jacket and covers ZYL with it, even though he's already covered with SW's coat.
LOLOL. Subtle, ZH.
Zhu Hong follows him quietly, thinking that even if the sky were to collapse, he would probably just look up for a bit, and keep eating his congee. She gets even more scared.
Oof, that's so effective, and it says so much about who ZYL normally is. (I wonder if priest cut it because it conflicts with the vibe, or just for pacing.)
And maybe the drama version just feels more intense to me because I'm more into it, but also, ZYL's reaction in the drama is so raw, and so revealing, and the novel's is just ... less, to me. Idk.
