The final pic in your jacket watch also seems to show the big height difference between Zhao Yunlan and the Envoy. Same scene as your evidence pic, perhaps, but to me it seemed even more striking. Huh, indeed it does! For the evidence pick, I wanted something relatively straightforward, where they're standing in the same plane; it was either that one, or one where the fact that they shot it through blinds revealed that they'd tilted the camera a few degrees to make our dear Envoy look less short. :P
The next case is that of Zhang Ruonan and Wang Yike, whom I'm informed are very lesbian-coded, and thus exist in the same space of Socialist Siblinghood as Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei. I'll have more to say about that once we get there, but I'd argue the parallels are obvious. Then there's Xiaobai and his Dixing girlfriend Zhou Weiwei, where 1. "Weiwei" would be an acceptable, albeit super-cutesy, nickname for a Shen Wei; and 2. Zhao Yunlan asks her about her jacket, stating he'd like to buy one for his girlfriend ... and one later turns up on Shen Wei.
The Envoy's speeches about Dixingren not being that different from humans (and Shen Wei's as well) keep growing in length and intensity, lol. It's very "Please don't be your father, please don't hate me, Yunlan, please" and would be sad if Zhao Yunlan actually held any antipathy for Dixingren.
