#xxc's dealt with losing people enough for his lifetime so keeping people at arm's length stops him from really losing anyone else

We're strangers who met by chance.
#xue yang#xiao xingchen#theuntameddaily#mxtxnet#xuexiao#i mean. kinda? i'm tagging it anyway because it's xuexiao to me <3#the untamed#mo dao zu shi#cql#mdzs#yi city#*my gifs#genuinely one of my favorite things about xxc is this bit#he really can't be bothered to do any kind of screening for this bloody and beaten stranger he's taken in#which. on one hand makes him incredibly kind. kinder than anyone xy'd ever met#but also. he assumes xy will be on his way as soon as his injuries heal#he doesn't think xy would stay. so why would he get to know this stranger. get attached to him. just for him to leave#xxc's dealt with losing people enough for his lifetime so keeping people at arm's length stops him from really losing anyone else#he thinks he doesn't deserve companionship anymore so why would anyone want to stay around him?#it's not really a consideration for him that xy would stay#so yeah there's a lot of ignoring of red flags and all that on xxc's end#in part it's because he's lonely. but also because he never thought the red flags were important#they'd only be important if this stranger were to stay. which. of course he won't!#he'll be on his way as soon as he heals! they're just strangers who met by chance!
