Bookmark Notes:
It didn’t matter. If Xiao Xingchen wanted to get all - whatever about this, fine.
It wasn’t really his. A lie, like all kindness really was at the bottom, that broke as soon as you looked at it closely. Like the person he was pretending to be, nice and friendly and safe and harmless. Xiao Xingchen thought he was helping some poor, persecuted man in need and didn’t know he was hand-feeding a wolf, and it was going to be so funny when Xue Yang told him the truth.
It was interesting, though. Thinking so this is what it’d feel like to matter to someone.
He didn’t need it. Never had. But it was an odd thing, unfamiliar, interesting. Maybe worth getting to know a little before it was gone. For the novelty.
