Shen Qingqiu opens his mouth, then closes it. "It's--much more illegal in China," he says, defensively. "I didn't recognize the smell. I thought--" he remembers Galahad is here, and subsides. What would he think if he found out Shen Qingqiu gave him some intoxicating plant but didn't even know what it was?? God, he's the worst. That could have gone so badly!!

"It doesn't matter what I thought," he mutters. "Just--we're trying to take it slow. Binghe and I. Now. After. Not doing that at all, at first. So I have to look good, but not, like." He stops. How could he explain that Luo Binghe is really, really, really into him, without sounding vain?? It's not about him, it's just Binghe is really, really, really into people! It's what he does!
