It's still weirdly validating to have it parroted back at him. Terribly, it's also validating to see the toll that this morning is taking on him. It makes it feel more like tricking Li Lianhua into doing what he wants, for one, but also, "It's a shame you were so determined to not take advantage of my offer... Where will that pride get you, when you've lost consciousness, I wonder? Yesterday, too."

He's just so silly, standing around in the cold and playing host despite his health being so much worse than Cat's.
