... He's really young and latching onto me because he doesn't know many people here?
[Okay, even Xie Lian himself knows this is a really flimsy excuse, but also, Hua Cheng hasn't really gone and said anything... and wishful thinking when you're the older party and also not exactly the best role model is not really on, in Xie Lian's opinion.]
I know he's attached to me, but... I've tried not to encourage him too much, and he hasn't really said anything... It sort of feels weird and wrong and like I'd be taking advantage of him.
[Even though he is technically an adult, and not that much younger, really, but still.]
I guess maybe I've been waiting for him to tell me why he suddenly started hanging out with me after he came to this school. Maybe I should ask him, but it never felt like the right time for it, somehow... and the way he looks at me sometimes, it feels like he's known me way longer than just the few months he's been there, and like I should remember something that I don't.
