[ It's only once he puts his head on his hand that Xue Yang stiffens. It doesn't occur to him that this might be some shocking revelation; after all, it's been obvious to Xue Yang the whole time.
He stands up fast enough to knock his chair back, unsure what to do but knowing that he doesn't want to stay seated. What's wrong with Xiao Xingchen all of a sudden? He feels his own heartbeat pick up, and his eyes fall to the remaining cake on Xiao Xingchen's plate. There's no way it could be that; neither of them would have poisoned it. But he reaches over and puts a small piece in his mouth anyway, being certain to let it linger on his tongue. Poisoning food isn't his specialty but as far as he can tell nothing about it tastes amiss.
Xue Yang swallows it. If it's going to kill both of them, all the better; that's seven days he doesn't have to spend waiting for Xiao Xingchen to come back to life. ]
