If he cared at all, he would tell Wei Ying not to tease, because he had always flirted with him aimlessly, and after hearing a resounding rejection from him the other day, he doesn't think that he could handle more of it. At least before, there was hope. But if after all these years Wei Ying doesn't know how he feels, then it just wasn't meant to be.

It's alright, he will always accept whatever friendship that Wei Ying is willing to give him. It wasn't fair to either of them, but Wei Ying would eventually love someone, and Wangji... Wangji had already resigned himself to this fate a long time ago.

But he doesn't care right now, so all he does is look down, sheepishly, though smiling as it's sweet to hear. He couldn't change that Wei Ying isn't attracted to men despite his annoyingly incessant flirting, so he should let it go. Instead, he hopes in their next life, perhaps they could be reborn in a way where their love can be shared.
