He's doing a good number of things right and there lies the problem. Because Xiao Xingchen will soon be forced to decide if this was even real, if something that started from a lie can be anything but a lie. He'll have to question himself for his happiness with a murderer, for his own weakness, for his own inability to completely scrub so many moments from his mind and soft heart.
Xue Yang's choice is a surprise. Xingchen thought he could love nothing more than candy. It gave him a way of contributing to the other's happiness too, one piece at a time. But he chooses him instead, another kiss to his lips while the sweet goes untouched. I choose you... Those words, they mean something to someone whose family and bonds have everything to do with choice instead of blood or sect.
His fingers curl around the candy. He's flustered by the time Xue Yang pulls back, emotion splashing a little bit of pink across all the white. Xingchen focuses on his heartbeat, on recovering.
"I guess I can have this then."
He unwraps the candy with another teasing little smile, but holds it to Xue Yang's lips after all.
