How do you know he is not already manipulating you again? Er ge, we don't know when his manipulations started. How can you give him a chance? How can you expect me to after all that he did...
[ There's no pleasantries, no formalities and Huaisang's voice is raw and his words are not calculated, not planned. The letter had renewed the feeling of isolation that he had felt for so many years, alone in his knowledge and unable to trust that Xichen would accept the truth if it wasn't told with irrevocable proof...
He'd gone to such measures... only to see it happening again or at least it feels that way. How long had Jin Guangyao been plotting and conniving and playing them all? Had anything between Jin Guangyao, Meng Yao and any of them been real? ]
He had a chance and he chose the way he did because that is who he is. Why would it be any different here?You have always been under his spell.
[ At least Huaisang is still talking to him. He dismisses the lack of pleasantries or formalities. ]
I don't. It is why Da ge asked me not to meet him alone, and I won't.
I can only stay true to myself. And that means giving him this chance here.
He told Wangji and I of his past, more details of things we had had little awareness of. It can be different here because people here do not know or care about his past, aside from those of our world.
And if I tell you he's deceiving you? If I see his deviance appearing will you believe me? I never thought you would believe me before, I could never take the chance to tell you the truth. I don't want to have to go to such extreme measures again.
I would listen, A-Sang. You are family, too. [ His mate's brother. Someone he cares about beyond that. He doesn't want to hurt Mingjue, or Huaisang, but his heart requires him to at least give A-Yao this last chance. ]
