[there are moments in time where he must use that acuteness he's acquired, yet keeps hidden underneath the polite and kind demeanor. like when the quartet is arguing over something and sizhui's the voice of reason because he's the one watching everyone else at each other's throats.
actually, if he recounts those times, it's a lot more than he would've imagined. more than he can count on one hand, even! but being amiable and well-disposed is what he prefers showing people, giving kindness in return for (what he hopes would be) the same. he knows he shouldn't smile frivolously or laugh for no reason, though they're also told: “do not be miserly,” and how does one show they aren't constantly unhappy if they can't smile every now and then?
and when lan wangji agrees with him, it's not quite heart-stopping, but he is somewhat surprised.] To the best of my ability, regardless of being unsubtle.
[once they've finished completely, sizhui does the same with his own gloves, waiting patiently at hanguang-jun's side while he washes up and copying that, too. before they are out of the room entirely though, he abandons the apron on a nearby counter then hurries to catch up.]
