Wow. I read this and - and now I am shaking, this is so intense - brilliant! - good and awful? I love that there is hope, that it's horrifying but not the end of everything, and it's so perfectly wrenching in how it is destroying Zhao Yunlan and how he keeps holding himself together because he must. Because they can still win. Because there is Shen Wei.
...stroking Shen Wei's hair.
Shen Wei nods, again. “You did.” He turns his head, lets his cheek rest against Zhao Yunlan’s hand. “You will.” His breath steadies, slows to a more familiar rhythm. “You always have.” Those words, that TENDERNESS I am so incredibly undone.
