[So here's a double standard: Huaisang is absolutely mortified that Xichen has seen his horny little drawings, but he would gladly lean in to see just what tasteful filth could make Xichen snap a book just like that in a heartbeat. It's only world-destroying when Xichen is making quiet little quips about catching somebody with porn, see.

That said: this does seem like it's the less sensual stack of art books, overall... Huaisang's gaze roves over the shelf Xichen is standing at, curious, even as his shoulders slump in the tell-tale New Huaisang Problem fashion.]

Er-ge, this library is out to torture me...! I went to return my borrowed book, [a huge concession from him, you're welcome, Archive] and the shelf!! It wasn't the same!!

[It took him several more minutes of huffy wandering, Xichen!! None have suffered the way Huaisang has suffered.]

Let's go, let's go, I don't want to be harassed by shelves any longer.
