Kexing can be very persistent when he wants to be. With Zishu, he wasn't going to let his soulmate just slip through his grasp. Someone would have to take one, or both, of them out to do that. It wouldn't be an easy feat either.

"A-Xu!" Rude? He was far from rude. He could be, if his Zishu really wanted to test those waters. "You want this done, don't you? Then my A-Xu will play for me."

His hand is a bit red and warm to the touch when Zishu takes it," Looks like we'll need to be careful with the water here, A-Xu." Just don't be a dummy and put your hand in it too, Zishu, you won't like the feel of it.
