Jingyi glances down at Yuan's reasoning. It is so simple but it slays him. He's the second son of one of the wealthiest family in Gusu and part of a very powerful clan. Things like a roof over his head and food in his belly have never been concerns for more than a couple hours on the rarest and most temporary of occasions. He wonders what it would be like to live in a world where he be at the mercy of a whip and angry, disgusting men to survive?
He fortunately starts paying attention again right when he hears he was right about something and then Yuan being sweet. He smiles at Yuan, heartfelt, but as he does, he suddenly recalls how Jin Ling had been hiding so much behind a smile too. Well, okay, maybe not a smile in Lingy-Boy's case, but he'd convinced Zizhen and Jingyi everything was normal for so long! In a way, hadn't he been at the mercy of some angry, disgusting man as well?
he feels his heart clench painfully in his chest. Before he knows it he's telling his friends he needs some air and dashes outside.
He nearly collides with the wooden archway that leads to the Jingshi from the other buildings as he grabs it for balance. He hugs it and cries! It was like A-Qing all over again!
