Pinliang was thinking of avoiding Mengyao himself and talk to Yushu about tonight’s Firetree Silverflower plans- there were some things he didn’t really want to mention in front of Mengyao.
He was worried that Mengyao might reject him right away without any concern for his reputation- that’d make Pinliang look pretty pathetic, and it’d have an irreversible effect, too.
So Pinliang decided to go talk to Yushu about it first. As long as Yushu was willing to help persuade Mengyao into watching his Firetree Silverflower performance, then he was sure Mengyao would show up. Naturally, the performance would move her, and that might even make her fall for him…
“Shu is right, Yao Yao! You go take a break first, don’t overwork yourself!” Pinliang said, following Yushu’s lead.
Mengyao couldn’t be happier that Pinliang wasn’t bothering her- now that he’d asked her to leave she’d never reject it.
