Hua Cheng watched him quietly and didn’t argue.
in my interpretation of the their relationship, i think hua cheng prefers taking xie lian’s emotional outburst and having them directed at him because he knows xie lian can’t and won’t take out his emotions properly. xie lian has 800 years of pent up trauma inside of him and has no way to release any of the emotions way him down. hua cheng wants xie lian to let these emotions out and would rather have them directed at him, someone who won’t take it personally or won’t use it against him or react really.
