I don't think there's any special explanation needed for the fact that Shen Wei isn't as good at reading people as Zhao Yunlan, though. He's well within the "normal" range; he isn't particularly terrible, just not always the most observant, sometimes uncomfortable, and sometimes a little block-headed and lost for the perfect thing to say (particularly when his own emotions are involved). All of that is very human, IMO. It's a little unfair to judge him by Zhao Yunlan's standards! ;-)
In most situations, Shen Wei is actually very charming and competent at interacting with people - more so than could be expected from your standard edition biology professor, even. ;-)
