Don't be judged before the trial
Han Yu helps Xi Zirui get out of bed. Xi Zirui feels as if his muscles are made of chrysanthemum jelly, too soft and not his own. He needs help to change into fresh robes, and Han Yu selflessly helps with that too.
Although, Xi Zirui is amused to note, his eyes don't move even a cun above his neck.
He can't imagine Han Yu taking as much as a peek while he was unconscious, let alone liberties.
It's charming that he would try to convince Xi Zirui otherwise, though.
"Am I under suspicion, because of what She Yong said?" Xi Zirui asks.
Han Yu's hands still on his shoulders just as he's helping him into his outer robes.
Xi Zirui can guess the answer from his reaction alone.
He has no idea why She Yong said what he said, especially considering that he didn't seem inclined to show Xi Zirui any mercy or special consideration just because they were both spirit animals back in the cave.
Why the change of heart?
