[ Before he can say anything else... surprise memory time! ]
[ It's evening, and you're standing outside in the falling rain. It's been long enough that you are practically drenched from head to toe. It's isn't long before a set of doors slide open, and the one you have been waiting for is looking out at you. You smile at him, before looking down. You wear your utmost sincere expression as you begin to talk... ]
Xiaohai, are you alright? You got injured because of my reckless actions. [ You look away. ] I wanted to fix your problems, but instead, I've added more to your burdens. [ Blinking away the rain drops from your eyes. ] I'm sorry.
[ You see him looking away, but he still doesn't say anything. Looking back up at him again, knowing you need to continue. ]
I know why you're upset. [ Now he's looking back up at you. ] Hai Tiankuo is an unsurmountable mountain to you. He stands in the way of all of your hopes. Others might not understand, but I do. I felt the same despair two years ago when I learned that I had Void Spiritual Root. [ You put an emotional inflection to your words to really get it across how you felt. Xiaohai looks like he wants to say something, but he doesn't. So you continue...]
I was fortunate enough to have you by my side, continually encouraging and supporting me.
[ You gestures in front of yourself. ] Look at me now. I'm on the path of cultivation. [ Your hand is still out, your gaze drops to the characters written on it to check what you're going to say next. You barely hide a grimace as you look away. You look at the words again. However, I know this is something you need to overcome... This is so cheesy. You shake your head and then put your hand down. Getting back into it. ] However, I know. [ A pause for effect ] This is something you need to overcome on your own. Before that happens, there's nothing I can do to help. All I can do is stand in the rain and keep you company.
[ You can see the emotions on his face. He's probably going to be in tears soon. Time to finish this... ] I won't leave until you come out. [ You can tell he's thinking about it. You knew he wouldn't want you to wait out in the rain for him. You keep going... ] Xiaohai, I want to let you know that you are not alone. [ There it is. Xiaohai draws a shaky breath in, being on the verge of tears.
His hand reaches out towards you and he takes a step out. He's going to cry. ] Wang Lu...
[ You don't actually want him to cry. You immediately switch gears. Turning your head to act like you're gagging loudly as you raise a hand to stop him. ] Hold on! [ You shiver all over, acting like you're shaking something off. ] I can't stand it any more. This is nauseating. [ You fling your hand to stop the spell. The rain ceases immediately. The moment is successfully ruined. ] I asked Lady Owner how I can help you overcome this hurdle. She told me to use sincerity. Goodness, this is... This type of method that requires us to bare our hearts with sincerity is really not for me. [ Xiaohai is looking at the sky and then to you. His expression going through a series of emotions ranging from shock, incredulous and shock again. He starts searching the ground as he wraps his head around what just happened.
This is better. You decide to keep this up. Your voice going from disgusted to amusement as you open your mouth again. ]
I can't believe you were so touched. You must be so lame.
So... you were just messing with me?
No, it was a sincere performance. [ You give him an air kiss and a wink. The outrage is immediate. ]
Wang Lu!
[ You make a noise, before turning and bolting. You can hear him running out of the house and giving chase. All according to plan... ]

There's much to say and even comment on, but he needs to bring up the most important part about all of it. ]

[ The tone of voice doesn't sound serious at all. ]
Why did you even need the mirror in the first place?

And it wasn’t actually a mirror, just a highly reflective shield made of celestial bronze. I needed the materials to fix some stuff on my ship.
