When Shen Wei heals himself in ep 2, it seems to cost him significantly more effort than any other time we see him do healing, because
he's healing himself instead of someone else

it's a physical injury rather than a failing life force (cf Teacher Zhang, Butler Wu)

YAY! :D :D :D :D :D
Both stages - I can't even separate the stages because there is no time loop without both of them. :D ♡♡♡
Both stages definitely!! :D
I'm also voting for Li Qian's grandma protecting her (because it's sweet and soft) and making Wang Zheng into an energy being (because I like Wang Zheng and I'm glad that she's around :D).
Ahh, yay for both of those. <3
but now I'm pretty sure it's because he's alone?
*nodnod* That does make sense. But so does that mean it's always hurting that much, though, and he's just really good at controlling his sweat glands? ;D
*But also it's possible that it's the injury itself that hurts, not the healing - it does look angry and not very good. D: *
Yeah, it might be the combo. *pets him*
(And the thing is, he totally didn't have to hide this injury, right? Professor Shen was swiped by the Shadow Monster! That's not a secret! But of course he "staggers" out of the bushes with a cheery wave. *smh* :D)

One the one hand I really HOPE NOT, but on the other hand, it's definitely possible and on-brand. (Controlling sweat glands could be another power. ;D :D)

Yeah, I'm assuming that in addition to always hiding and downplaying his injuries since the ancient war (and probably before that already), he also really doesn't want to worry Zhao Yunlan.

LOL! /o\ (He should not need to!!)

True! Plus he probably doesn't want to have to seem to "heal" at the usual Haixingren rate...
ETA: Omg, that icon! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

(I may have a lot more Shen Wei icons than I thought I would, hee. :D :D)

Yeah, I think that has to be a huge part of it!
no subject
Hee!
Even as Professor Shen, he never lets himself be injured beyond "oh I'm getting up off the floor, my back hurts" minor things that can be shrugged off, and the only time he actively lets himself be seen bleeding (in the park) it's a VERY minor thing, tetanus aside. *g*
