After a moment of thought and a name on his tongue, Xiao Xingchen shakes his head.

"It doesn't matter who I would choose, not unless also chose to come here."

He would very much choose to continue watching over A-Qing, but it wouldn't be right for him to wish her here and away from the world she knows. If she could wish herself, that would be a different story.

He doesn't consider Song Lan at all, but not out of anger or hurt. He's simply honoring his friend's wish to never see him again.

"Are you really okay with being here? You almost sound happy."
