He does. [That he can agree readily to.] He deserves— much more than that too. And I... will lapse. [Somehow it’s a bit easier to admit as much to Wei Wuxian, who had also climbed and fallen only to be climbing again, in a better way.

He doesn’t want to think he’d actually to look at Wei Wuxian as anything like a role model, and there are too many differences between their circumstances to really truly compare, but... Well, maybe he can get it a little more than others, in one way or another.]

I will lapse and there will be setbacks, I am not so arrogant to believe there will be no hardships. But I have sworn I would never intentionally hurt him. And I will abide by that as best I can.

[And perhaps he says as much because it’d be nice for someone who knows to believe as much. He doesn’t think, for all Xichen might say, that even he fully believes Guangyao.]

You made a second life look so easy, surely I can follow suit. [He lightens his tone, just a little.]
