[ When Xiao Xingchen calls it "business", Xue Yang stiffens very slightly but says nothing. He turns away to step into the boat, not rocking it himself either. As much as he doesn't consider himself a cultivator, it would be stupid not to use a lightness technique for this.
At some point when Xiao Xingchen is distracted looking out at the trees Xue Yang transforms back into his disguise. Somehow it feels as if it fits the situation better, if Xiao Xingchen is going to stay like that. Maybe because "Xue Yang" was never seen around the maid cafe, and here he is in a boat with a maid.
Without a word he pushes the two of them off from the dock and out into the water, setting them adrift on the slight current. He's not the most skilled at this; he hasn't piloted boats that often, though he's had a bit of practice with this particular variety already at least. Soon the two of them are drifting into the shade, branches thick overhead with a multitude of colors. He knows that it's a little while until the island starts to play its tricks along this route, so for now he might as well let Xiao Xingchen enjoy the scenery a bit. ]
