It’s missing Qin Shen Shen hours today so I might as well write it down:

Non-exhaustive little Qin Shen Shen details I miss in no particular order

  • Zhou Shen not looking at Li Keqin during duets. Li Keqin always having his eyes on Zhou Shen
  • Small conversations in each other’s ear during other people’s performances
  • Synchronized movements and similar expressions like they’re sharing a brain
  • Li Keqin growing accustomed to Zhou Shen closing his eyes at the end of all duets until he starts to make fun of it
  • Zhou Shen always making Li Keqin speak first when asked for comments, and Li Keqin being like *sigh* but eventually giving in to it, like, all the time
  • The times when Zhou Shen raises his hand like he’s about to hit Li Keqin but eventually can’t bear to do it and only taps him on the shoulder instead
  • Li Keqin repeatedly comparing their duo to a romantic relationship while Zhou Shen goes from ?????! to helpless and done
  • The gradual but damn visible change in how comfortable Zhou Shen grows in Li Keqin’s company, from always watching out for Li Keqin’s reactions to being a total snark and sass ball who’s afraid of nothing 
  • Li Keqin: “I will throw my teammate under the bus for giggles”. Also Li Keqin: “You’re not allowed to affect my teammate’s mood”.
  • Talking over each other all the time all the time all the time
  • Li Keqin watching Zhou Shen with this utmost encouraging, grounding look while Zhou Shen’s speaking in *mild anxiety* mode
  • The way Li Keqin has to watch what he says so as to not inadvertently provoke a burst of insecurity from Zhou Shen, and how he sometimes STILL provokes one without meaning to
  • Zhou Shen sometimes pacifying Li Keqin with one look and a touch on the forearm when Li Keqin’s about to rebuke him (about something silly) 
  • Li Keqin actually complying and calming down when Zhou Shen does that
  • How utterly exhausted and zen they both were in the finale, just chilling and doing their thing, and then– holy shit, hold up, the stage is rising wtf
  • Heavenly harmonization that sent me to the other world
  • Li Keqin rolling his eyes or closing them when he gets interrupted by Zhou Shen/when Zhou Shen yells/when Zhou Shen says something pessimistic, before proceeding to continue talking like nothing happened
  • Finishing each other’s sentences
  • Casually dropping in compliments about each other after all the mutual teasing and throwing each other under the bus
  • Zhou Shen going from *slides away instinctively when Li Keqin sits next to him on the bench during badminton* to happy bouncing into the room and going for a hug himself + using Li Keqin’s shoulder as an armrest
  • Li Keqin’s smuggest face expression when the lie detector didn’t zap him after he said that Zhou Shen was the young artist he most wanted to pair up with
  • The HEIGHT DIFFERENCE
  • Regarding the first item: one time Zhou Shen’s eyes actively searched for Li Keqin during a performance. The performance was Ye Lang Disco, a style Zhou Shen was not accustomed to at the time

I realize this is probably from a class where this is relevant to the course material, but I also really hope that this is just like a physics or trigonometry teacher that just went OFF.

Me meeting a genie: Okay, so my first wish is for 1000 dollars a day, deposited to my bank account without any way of tracing it to anything illegal. I want this money to come from the ten richest people in America (100 dollars each), withdrawn under the guise of nebulous, random purchases and surcharges. It would probably be best to split the money into a myriad of smaller fees, though, to reduce the likelihood of anyone noticing. Got all that?

Genie: um

Me, continuing on without a care: For my SECOND wish, I want you to give me the ability to learn any given phoneme, so that I can learn to pronounce new languages perfectly. If you're willing, it'd be nice if it were a little easier to memorize new languages too, but if that's not cool, I'm perfectly fine doing all the legwork myself I mostly just want to be capable of pronouncing things correctly.

Genie, now staring at me like I'm insane: ......okaaayyy?....

Me: For my third wish. I want to always have great ideas for gifts for people. Every birthday, every holiday, I want to be able to come up with something they'd really like, with enough time to actually get it for them.

Genie, just staring at me

Me: I can provide you with a written document if that would help.

I was drawing a bunch of pentagrams in my notebook during math class because I was bored and I think I drew 150 pentagrams in total before a devilish-looking guy wearing a red suit broke down the door of the classroom and yelled “wHAT the fUCK do you wANT?!”
