Too much means too much. "I do not want to push Wei Ying away," he resolves, but notices Wei Ying staring at his mouth and proffers him another kiss, warm and hungry as if the first ones had just been an appetizer.

Once he got a taste, there was really no stopping him, and so, he had to remind himself over and over in his head that he had to draw boundaries. He couldn't say things like love, shouldn't ask what he is to Wei Ying, doesn't want to get hurt.

For now, they could hold hands, and flirt, and kiss. That was practically already a marriage proposal in Cloud Recesses, but Wei Ying had also taken his headband, hadn't he? So, in essence, they were already bound together, and if that had been acceptable, then this must also.
