Curious about how the situation would turn out, Xiulan was on alert. Maybe she was expecting some disputes to occur as before they went inside, the atmosphere was palpable, Jianyu was tense and Elora was worried. Her anticipation was washed away by the thawing relationship as they came out.
Jianyu's eyes eagerly wandered on the lookout for Xiulan. He resisted the urge to go explain the situation as her getting the wrong idea was undesirable. He sneaked a signal to get her out of the crowd to somewhere quiet and supposedly safe to talk, but she ignored him. Feeling anxious, his eyes followed her, not allowing even a tiny change in her expression to escape. She remained expressionless, so he had little to catch before Ryan invited him to have a chat with him.
