He'd always been like this. He took every offense quietly, keeping himself in check and moving forward despite the setbacks. Xue Yang had never planned like that. He'd always figured that he was walking the same path as Wei Wuxian, living carefree and recklessly, and at some point he'd die the same way. He certainly never expected to live long enough to feel a loss even close to that of his finger. When it was a loss he couldn't repay with violence nor undo with obsessive work, where did that leave him? Where was "forward" from there?
Jin Guangyao had a plan even at this point. Xue Yang had never really envied him for that before now.

"... I want tangyuan."
The rest could be dealt with afterwards.
