[ Oh, he is pretty when he blushes, he thinks idly as he watches the color bloom across his face and ears. Ah, no no no no no, thinking things like that- how embarrassing!! He glances away, swishing his whisk as if to tell the thoughts to go, go away!

Especially with him saying... "Hasn't proposed to anyone."

"All a misunderstanding." ]

Hah?!

[ His eyes go wide, staring at his friend who's managed to be even more shy than him, hiding his entire face! Aaah!! ]

R-really?! Ahahahahaha! A mis- hahahaha! -A misunderstanding! Hahahaha!!

[ His stomach hurts, he suddenly realizes for the first time. All this anxiety! All this laughing! He tied his stomach into knots over this?!

He said something so embarrassing to someone who isn't even interested in him!? He told Shen Qingqiu he would make a good husband to him and Shen Qingqiu isn't even looking for that?!

If it were possible to die of humiliation, Shi Qingxuan would collapse and drop dead right now. His soul would leave his body, and it would stuck in this world by the sheer oppressiveness of this feeling, or it would shatter underneath it, never to be reborn again. ]

[ Starts flicking his fan to stir up a wind to carry him off. ]
