It took a lot of Shao Cheng's will to stop himself from shaking the silly Purple that deemed to perform a dramatic act of dying in order to answer his question which Purple could have just spoken in their mental link.
"Cheng?"
Shao Cheng has slightly removed his gaze away from Ren Yuan's head when a hand is raised over before beginning to touch it in confusion, in which he just slightly shook his head in order to remove the doubt upon Ren Yuan's face.
He just watches as Ren Yuan patted his head one more time before shrugging it off when Purple that seemed to be high in a playful manner, has gracefully moved his tails before slapping the man cheeks.
Fortunately, it was only a slight breeze of touch and isn't strong enough to let Ren Yuan become suspicious of Purple existence with those actions.
