This is not the ideal moment for them to have a heart-to-heart about their feelings.
Not while a very confused Cao Fei and Jin Ranyu look on.
Xi Zirui still wants to comfort Han Yu, despite how slim he thinks their chances of escaping Su Xueyi's trap are.
"We can still try to go through with your plan," it's what he says in the end. Kneeling in front of Han Yu and placing his hands on his knees, trying to make him look up at him. "Maybe it can still work if we make some adjustments."
Major adjustments, but Xi Zirui thinks that information is better kept for later.
"I can tell when you're just trying to humor me, you know?" Han Yu says, giving Xi Zirui an unimpressed look from beneath his lashes.
At least he doesn't look so sad anymore, so Xi Zirui considers it a victory.
"What plan?" Cao Fei asks, biting his lower lip.
