Zhou Zishu + Suffering for the besties in my dms

So I know Word of Honor has several iconic scenes that made people go, "Wow, I can't believe this was allowed past censorship!", but I feel like no one talks about this one!! And I think it's actually one of the more surprising ones!!

At the end of episode 12, Zhou Zishu reveals to everyone at the table (Cao Weining, Wen Kexing, and Gu Xiang) that he's terminally ill (in addition to talking about traveling with his zhiji, wink wink). Early in episode 13, Cao Weining waxes poetic about love, and how emotional he is, and we get this scene. THIS SCENE very, very, very overtly puts Zhou Zishu's and Wen Kexing's relationship in the same context as (a hypothetical heterosexual) marriage. And Gu Xiang's response of, "Oh, you mean my master and ... Zhou Xu? They do look good together." I mean..... lmao.

By the way, the show hints at Ye Baiyi's past with his unrequited love, Rong Changqing throughout, but one thing I noticed on rewatch is that he is introduced later in this same episode. The same episode with Cao Weining's speech about the sword and the scabbard, we meet this man with a sword he carries in a cloth wrap... he's missing the original scabbard... (it was originally Rong Changqing's sword...) (I cry...)

(Note: I must mention the word translated as "soulmate" doesn't necessarilyyyy mean anything romantic, and so Cao Weining calling Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing soulmates (zhiji) is the LEAST surprising thing about the scene)
