Pairing: Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei

Timing notes: Takes place between episodes 2 and 3.

Author's note: This is the 2,700 word intro to what was supposed to be a PWP. *sigh* There's a decent stopping point and I'm taking it -- I just don't think I'll have time to write and edit another 4,000 words before the end of this round -- but I am (for once) actually writing Part 2.



Summary: It’s not the first time Zhao Yunlan’s run into someone he’d slept with and failed to recognize them. The speculative looks and the lingering touches, those were familiar. And it made sense of that nagging feeling he had, that he’d met Shen Wei before.
