It makes me happy to hear that! It sounds like this story came at just the right time for you, and I'm so glad. I love to put Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan through the wringer, but there are times when it's like...no, not today. Today they get the thing they need. (Even if they don't think they need it, which ZYL is in the habit of doing.)

and in turn being affected by Shen Wei's heartfelt gratitude
Ahh, it's so great that that came through - Lao Xie's reactions being somewhat idiosyncratic. But yeah, he is definitely affected. <3
