“You have a spare room?” Jin Ling asks, immediately jealous again over Sizhui’s good luck in housing. “I’m definitely staying with you from now on. I’m not going back to that house with the strangers. I already brought all my things with me.”
Besides, he likes being around Sizhui, and he feels much safer now that he’s here. Sizhui is one of his only friends, and maybe his only friend. Even though he’s tentatively willing to consider Lan Jingyi and OuYang Zizhen his friends, he’s not sure if that’s mutual, and even with Sizhui he’s pretty sure that he’s very low on the list of valued friends.
"Anyway it's not like I need protection." He does. "But it makes sense for us to stay together, just in case."
Fairy remains tucked close against Jin Ling's side on the couch, eyes moving between Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling, glad that one of the Good Humans is here to help with whatever is making Jin Ling so upset. Jin Ling keeps an arm around his dog, grateful for Fairy's presence. He's desperately touch-starved, and the dog is the only creature in his life that he can touch and hug, so he clings to her now while he's upset.
