Ah, it's so cute when he's got his laoshi blushing. Binghe looks pleased with himself for all of five seconds.
Believing the best in people hits him like a truck, however. What did Shen Yuan believe that was good about him, enough to willingly, happily, occupy a space with him? He'd read the story of his life and though Binghe has the growing suspicion that some things were omitted for reasons beyond his comprehension, the gist is still there. He's not a good person, even now. He's petty, cruel, vindictive, coercive, a liar, a fake. If there's anything left of the optimistic boy he once was, that sweet little white lotus Shen Yuan knew so well, then that's long gone.
He wants to change, wants to be better, but that doesn't change what he's done, what he is.
"Laoshi is dangerously optimistic. What if he's wrong about the people he believes in so easily?"
