I conduct all business of Mei Mei Maid Cafe in this form.
[Not that this being mere business seems to bother Xue Yang any, but he might as well say it to make the boundary clear.
A little quieter, under his breath:]
My usual form would tear these clothes apart the moment I turned back.
[So it really isn't a reasonable option at all, no matter how he approaches it. The thought of being taller isn't so bad, but even while in this form, Xue Yang's now-greater height doesn't change anything between the two of them. Though why Xue Yang cares is a bit of a mystery. Does he prefer Xiao Xingchen taller? Trying to keep this boundary between them is proving more difficult than he expected, needing to restrain himself from asking so many things. That he actually still has curiosity about the man and has to restrain himself from these questions is already something he needs to correct.
At least the scenery catches his attention, peering further down the river at all of the bright red-yellow foliage by the coursing waters. Further down appears to be those strange trees that caught his eye earlier. Despite his reluctance for this "date" to begin with, this part is engaging enough that he doesn't have to consider who he's with too much. There's other sights to look forward to and charge ahead into.
Stepping into the boat without moving it at all, he seats himself primly and looks over to Xue Yang. The man appears fine with directing the two of them and taking control whenever he can, but it doesn't matter, as long as Xiao Xingchen isn't expected to take an active part in this.]
