He sighs and rests his head against Huaisang's. "She would've ended up resenting me just like my parents resented each other if I'd gone through with it," he says, his tone haunted by past hurt. Not everyone could handle having a meddling family and he wouldn't have been able to keep the promise she wanted him to keep.
His mind drifts back to the present at his boyfriend's questions. Before he can answer, he laughs at the remark. "You make it sound like you had that planned!.. you didn't, did you?"
He's really teasing. Who could've predicted his life would've fallen apart in such a public display on the night before his wedding and that he'd be so willing to be seduced immediately after? Huaisang was good, but was he that good?
"I'll show you the letter and you can tell me what you think," he says, making an effort to not brush Huaisang's offer aside.

The more Jingyi thinks about this idea the more excited he gets. He thanks Wei Wuxian and with a smile returns to his position in line. It's a long travel before Hanguang Jun calls for a break near dawn. They've reached the foothills of the mountain and have turned south, heading toward the coast. The wind has picked up and there isn't much in the way of trees to shelter them here, but they'd all been told to bring warm clothes for a reason.
Hanguang Jun passes around bread and explains now that by mid-afternoon they'll be in a small village on the way to Tingshan. There's been rumors of something disturbing family burial plots ands killing people in the woods nearby. "We don't know exactly what we're dealing with yet since we don't have all the facts. We should be prepared for anything."
