Zizhen definitely notices the comment about them getting hurt, but he decides not to push on that front - that doesn't mean he isn't going to absolutely get to the bottom of this somehow, because if Jin Ling is in some kind of danger, they're not going to let him go through it alone.
At least they're learning more about what's going on with Yuan, though. His explanation is still curiously vague, but it's far more believable than the two dire bears story.
"So he's sort of a fake date but also you actually really like him?" He clarifies, sounding intrigued "Maybe you should tell him, if he trusts you that much, you should trust him too and tell him how you feel.. maybe he feels the same?"
Yes, Zizhen has gone from being suspicious of Yuan to wanting to encourage this. He's a hopeless romantic.
~~~
Yuan stops short when there's a sudden flurry of white in front of him, almost yelping and very definitely cringing away with his arms half-raised defensively on instinct before he can stop himself. They fall, though, at the question, and the flash of fear on his face gives way to something that's almost indignation, his response is firm and immediate.

"A-Ling would never hurt me."
