[ Xichen. Literally has to get up, leaving the device behind, and walk away for a long moment. Once upon a time, to speak of these things would have been natural and right. When this man was Xichen's one confidant, his one support.
But... it was fake. It was a lie, a means for Jin Guangyao to make sure when he wanted Xichen to do something, Xichen would. And he had. He had, and now he is talking about Wangji, and Xichen can't...
Young master Wei treated Meng Yao, and then Jin Guangyao, fairly, and what did he get in return? What good is telling him that he's aware, when it mattered not at all?
It takes him a while to calm down about it. ]
Sometimes, life is not so simple as to allow loving someone to be enough. And it's never so simple as to allow us to take back what we have done.
I believe that you tricked neither of them.
Just... try to treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. That... shouldn't be too difficult, should it? Not as you think they deserve, not as you think anyone else would want you to. Only as you would wish to be treated yourself.
