Actually, Tang Ye's fear of Li Qingtian wasn't because of Li Qingtian himself, but rather because Li Henian mediated all of Li Qingtian's feelings onto him. One could say this was a case of "love me, love my dog," and Tang Ye was unable to confront the memories of Li Henian in his mind. These were not his own familial affections, and he didn't want to accept them.
Unable to confront the emotions in his mind that were not his own, when it came to meeting in person, he would rather choose to avoid it than to face it head-on.
Upon entering Peace Plaza, Tang Ye checked off the list of names on the table, signed his own, and immersed himself completely in his work, choosing not to think about that problem anymore.
