Xingchen is the one who should apologize, but his level of betrayal isn't something that can be washed away with words. How can words repay a debt the size of one's home?
Xingchen doesn't flinch when his wrist is grabbed. Xue Yang often had to touch him to guide him, to help him around, so it isn't a foreign touch. However, beneath Xue Yang's fingers, Xingchen's pulse is racing. He wants to trust Xue Yang — though he doesn't know it's Xue Yang — but he doesn't want to upset Song.
