I do think so. [ Quietly, his eyes growing a little distant. ]

Da ge, he... he hated being lied to or deceived.

But he... For all his anger, he cared about you, a lot. Loved you. So every time you twisted away from truth, however small or innocent, it reminded him that he had allowed himself to love a deception. But he allowed me to persuade him into - the oath. [ The oath Meng Yao betrayed. The one that Xichen had insisted on to mend the rift, but instead...

No, Xichen knows that his own choices have never been realistic, or good enough. And they are unlikely to become so. He squeezes his eyes. ]

He allowed it because he kept hoping that you would try to do better. To do the right thing.

I think... you are doing that now.

So, if I am not wrong about that, he would approve.

[ A long, shaky breath. Then. ]

Perhaps. I will not stop trying to do the work, either. [ Xichen reaches up to caress the soft cheek. Brush a lock of hair away from Meng Yao's face. ] I won't expect you to carry an additional load when you are still stumbling. Please, don't try to ask it of yourself, either.
