[Huaisang laughs cheerfully at the murder offer. What good friends he has!] Don't worry. Wangji watches him alertly and I have a very strong hand in his training.
He's a whore by birth and by nature, and it's only right that he should learn to accept that.
Training! [He laughs and takes a big bite of cake, finishing it off with a swig of wine.] You're too sweet to him, A-Sang. I would pull his hair out and keep him locked in some dreadfully small room!
[But the whore idea is good!]
I can't really talk. Did you know I'm related to Xue Chonghai?
Oh, I very much considered it! Such a small cage so that he would never be able to stand up straight, with daily torture.
But I am concerned that it would make me cruel, and I do not want to become that cruel and hard. I trust Wangji to help me follow a path with Meng Yao that does not stray too far from justice.
[He rubs his cheek against Xue Yang's shoulder.] I had wondered it, yes.
Tie his neck to his hands and ankles! [He tucks his head close to his wrists and pretends they are bound together.] Like this~ It can drive a man insane.
[Xue Yang taps Huaisang's nose with his finger.]
Leave the cruelty to others. There was a time none of that would've bothered me.
[But he has changed.]
He didn't pass anything down - and even if he had, it's not like my parents survived long enough to tell me about it.
[Huaisang hugs his arms around Xue Yang's waist to comfort him.] Meng Yao is under control and this place is cruel enough. Neither of us need to be cruel.
He doesn't matter, A-Yang. You have someone you belong with and people who care about you. Forget the past.
We'll see~ [He lifts his arm and cuddles Huaisang against his side. Who could think about someone they hate while having a cute little friend to snuggle?]
[Those are words that he will never get accustomed to hearing. His cheeks flush and he lets out a tired sigh, resting his cheek against Huaisang's shoulder.]
