"Promise." It was an easy promise to make, Xue Yang didn't talk to many people in the first place and he never gave away information. Especially not anything he talked about with Meng Yao. That'd just be stupid. "Nobody ever thinks I know anything, you know that."
It was pretty useful. No one but Meng Yao really saw him as anything more than someone good at killing and hurting people. Only Meng Yao really knew him.
"That's why people are stupid." Meng Yao knew Xue Yang had more potential than anyone else he'd met, if only other people saw it. What he lacked, he made up for with his own strange sense of logic, ruthlessness and playfulness. He understood more than anyone gave him credit and, best of all, he cared about him. Meng Yao slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a candy bar, offering it to Xue Yang.
"I'll buy your train snacks. Now, if you could do me an amazing favour, please get that box down off the top shelf. I nearly died trying to get it down earlier."
"Sure thing, shorty." Xue Yang walked over and managed with relative ease, mostly by pulling himself up a little and just having superior strength and faster reflexes. Either way, he handed him the box, smiling.
