Don't reflect on what you did
The words reverberate inside Xi Zirui's head like an echo. It's a long time before his mind is quiet enough for him to string a question together.
"What do you mean he's a human?"
Ji Limei gives him a look of sustained disdain, as if this is an issue she has been over with him multiple times before.
"What I said: that he's a human. You convinced yourself that you were in love with him, and because the Jade Emperor wouldn't let you have your way, you made it everyone's problem."
She speaks in such a way that Xi Zirui can imagine a series of conversations whispered behind his back. Other Gods gossiping about how foolish Xi Zirui was, how mad his obsession.
All this time, he was convinced that Han Yu was a god like him, even as the entire concept is still alien to him, it never once crossed his mind that there was something keeping them apart in their original realities.
It turns out they aren't even from the same realm.
