All things considered, Guo Changcheng is handling this surprisingly well.

"It's not like it's our first time being stranded in the wilderness together," he says cheerfully, barely a hint of a stutter as he casually grabs for Chu Shuzhi's hand and pulls him along. "I think I see a cave up that way, come on!"

Words failing him, Chu Shuzhi allows himself to be dragged. He pokes at his phone with his free hand, not expecting much, and sure enough there's no signal. Great. Just what they need with a highly volatile, starving ghost on the loose and the rest of the SID safely back at 9 University Ave. This was supposed to have been a simple exorcism, simple enough that Chu Shuzhi could have done it on his own. He'd been asked to choose a partner anyway, because buddy system, which he grudgingly admits is not the worst idea, and, well. He's gotten so used to having the kid around.

He should have picked the damn cat.

Post-canon (non-specific fixit), Lin Jing has some feelings about a certain request Shen Wei made of him that day in Dixing.
They talk about it.

Unfortunately for [Lin Jing], the professor was good at clocking when someone was hiding something. He'd had an awful lot of practice, after all.

“Lin Jing?" [Shen Wei] prompted, after an awkward silence in which Lin Jing's hastily constructed bullshit failed to even reach his mouth. "Is everything alright?”

“Haha,” Lin Jing said, nervously, feeling very much like the human embodiment of the sweat-drop emoji. “You know, I just realised it’s not actually that important, so—”

Professor Shen gave him a look. He was good at those, too. At least it was a Professor Shen look, rather than a Heipaoshi look.

“Why don’t you come inside?” He suggested, mildly.

"I didn't think there was anything that you could learn from me," Bai Yu says, and he's only half joking.

"What are you even finding?" Zhao Yunlan asked with curiosity.

Shen Wei looked at him and winced, a hint of embarrassment clearly visible in his eyes. "Would you believe me if I say I also don't know?"
