<p>xinlu may be acting sorta a b** right now but he slowly learns to be more and more considerate of yuri's feelings. this one scene later on shows xinlu practicing his ruthlessness for the sake of the wine industry which will soon be passed down to him and he beat a guy to a pulp and yuri saw. xinlu starts apologizing to yuri saying he shouldnt have done that and was really worried with what yuri would think. he now basically lives for yuri's validation on things and does his best not to upset him. despite xinlu still having traces of taeui in his head, his heart is leaning to yuri and growing much more dependent on yuri. yuri was like the light to xinlu in his time of darkness. </p>
