*It's a very mundane example of Shen Wei being good for him, hee! And also a very mundane example of being hopelessly besotted, that such a small everyday thing like socks makes him go all hearteyes over SW. ♥ ♥ ♥ *
It's like, Shen Wei has brought order and meaning to his existence at even the most mundane and trivial of levels. :D
But especially Lao-Chu's reaction - immediately dissing ZYL, then doing a double-take and being all OH NO SHIT over Shen Wei. I think they could have made it work for the drama, even with the very different relationships there!
I feel like, because in the drama his alignment is most strongly with the Envoy, even if he felt that way he wouldn't express it to the rest of the SID team? But that might just be me. (As you know, I've written this (maybe more than once? I can't remember), and when I did, Lao Chu immediately wanted to segue into defending Shen Wei's choices, rather than openly freaking out. Idk.)
There's no drama equivalent to killing huge numbers of ghosts, for one. And no one expects him to be murderous and feral.
Maybe the closest is when he finds An Bai and friends in Dixing, when he's looking for ZYL, and threatens them with his blade, and then straight-up kills Ding Dun? That's not wholly dissimilar in vibe, right? Just on a smaller scale.
