Luo Binghe does not know how he feels about this man, but he knows he hates not to be touching him. He is sensitive, Luo Binghe's already noticed that, and he's paying close attention to Luo Binghe, as do those who either greatly admire or fear him. Is Luo Binghe's own hesitance then doomed to scare Shen Qingqiu—for lack of a better name—off? He has learned to be distrustful to protect himself. Can he not protect himself and still have Shen Qingqiu?
If Luo Binghe thought he wasn't Shen Qingqiu, then what? He wouldn't have bothered talking to him, probably. Maybe that's what Shen Qingqiu means. For some reason he wants Luo Binghe to talk to him, and he wants Luo Binghe to think well of him. This lovely, timid impostor.
"Give me your hand again," he says, having no reason not to ask for what he wants. Shen Qingqiu looked happier when they were touching, anyway. "I've never heard of such a tale, or met such a world-traveler. If I seem cold, it is due to caution, not indifference. I would like to hear more, but it seems to trouble you to speak of, and I do not know what to ask."
