Maybe just maybe he was trying to confess his feelings to ye shen but hasn't really had that right moment
ok but remember he literally said he wanted to stop because he found out ye shen had feelings for him but still wanted to fuck so..
I guess I don't remember their conversation correctly then. I'll go back and give it a read, I could of miss interpreted what he was getting at.
