Person A in a very turbulent state: pushes person B against the wall in a literal chokehold threatening to kill B after person B kept following A to ensure a safe journey home. Person B clutches the unmovable hand while trying to squeeze out A’s name until B is let go and falls to the ground coughing. Person A suddenly pats and ruffles person B’s hair, lifts B’s reddened face by the chin and gives some genuine advice before disappearing
Me: WHAT IS THIS HOMOEROTIC SCENE, WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY BEING SO GAY

*reading with a magnifying glass* SO BOLD AND OBVIOUS
Just so you know, the fact that I went all mushy about these two is because there was a whole build up of the chemistry which gave that first scene a whole other layer in my eyes, without it I wouldn’t think twice about it.
A few fragments throughout the novel, mostly Guo Changcheng being all starry eyed about “his” Chu-Ge but also Chu Shuzhi showing some affection:
“HIS” CHU-GE, OKAY
And finally that first scene I mentioned, which starts with:
