"I may have eventually..but it just never seemed like a good time. I guess I worried about what you would say when you found out." Even if he hadn't had Xingchen kill Song Lan..there was no telling how the information would have been taken.
He won't let anyone else call him this. He wants to reserve this name as something only Xingchen can have.
"I do. But really its you that I should be asking that to." Because although he feels better about being able to tell him how he felt, its really up to Xingchen as to how he feels about hearing any of it.
Xingchen gives it some thought. He now knows that whatever he feels or says really does have an effect on him, and Xue Yang will take it to the heart.
"I'll be all right. But you...give me some time." He doesn't like him back, but he did say they are friends and he gives him a nickname to call him by, so...that's progress.
"Of course daozhang. Take whatever time you need." He figured the man wants to stay and read and he wants to give him his space to think about everything and so he backs off.
Feeling him back away, that would be for the best as he feels there is a relief in maintaining a good distance also.
"Xue Yang. It's fine to talk to me. As long it's important, talk to me anytime and I'll listen to your side first." Before making a verdict from anybody else.
"I will, daozhang. But I don't know how much important stuff I will have to say." He already said the most important thing. The rest is simply life on the train.

A beat, then after some thought. "Do you feel better now?" Hopefully, that gets the weight off his chest.
