[ He considered arguing it further, and then just pierced his lips tighter. No point. Sizhui’s family all remembered him. He was not going to be able to explain anyway.
At the last, though, he turned his head to give Sizhui a small frown before he glanced away again. ]
You don’t need to give me reasons to do that.
You already make things hurt less just by- just by being here.
[ ... well, that is Sizhui here, blushing so much.
(Some of his family doesn't remember him, either, but then he thinks, that is kind of fair, since he didn't remember Senior Wei for the longest time, himself.
But more than this...
While he always knew that he mattered, Sizhui knows that he wasn't enough to take away the pain. He knows the look in Hanguang-jun's eyes, the one that he has grown up with, and how he sometimes could lighten it, but it was never gone until Senior Wei was returned to him.
He knows that he wasn't enough, and yet just like this...
[ He felt his own face rapidly heating up in response, but not out of embarrassment. It was because he had the sudden thought that Sizhui looked particularly cute, like this.
But to save the other boy some face, he let his eyes glance away and just leaned more heavily into the embrace, finally sipping at his hot chocolate. It was getting cool by now, but it didn’t matter. ]
I’m glad you are.
[ And then, after a slight awkward pause in a moment that felt too emotionally heavy somehow, he added in what sounded like is trying to make it sounds like a joke: ]
This place would be pretty boring without us, right?

His arm hold and tighten around Jin Ling. ]
I-- I'm glad. And I'm here.

... maybe we can wrap up this one soon?
[ He'll take it. So long as Jin Ling is distracted, he'll definitely take it. ]
What do you think we should do to make it less boring?
Sounds good!
Proper exploring.
There has to be things we can do here that we could t at home, right?
Let’s find them.
So do explosions.
