Yanli was happy to hear that Zixuan seemed to get up early anyways and that him cooking breakfast for her wouldn't impact his schedule too much. She still wasn't completely comfortable with the idea of being taken care of, but it made her feel a bit better.
She blinked, surprised by Zixuan reaching out and touching her. She reached up to check her hair, wondering how messy it had gotten for him to try and help her. "Sorry, it's been a busy day, I must look like a mess," she said.

Zixuan blinked rapidly in confusion when she moved to the idea of looking a mess. He blurted out, "No, you're fine, you look like you."
He had to think back over what he'd said or done that might have made her react like that, and realized, oh, her hair. He muttered starting to blush, realizing that maybe he shouldn't have done that, "My best friend is also a girl, and she always gets annoyed with her hair in her face but never fixes it, so that was habit, sorry I should have asked."
He realized that he'd also maybe not handled that right and added, "And even if you were messy or your hair was majorly out of place, you're right, it's been a busy day, and you're at home. It's not like I wouldn't understand your hair being messy. Please don't feel like you have to look perfect in front of me."

Yanli pursed her lips, trying to figure out if Zixuan's "you look like you" comment had meant that he thought she looked generally like a mess at all times. She wasn't happy with the comment, but tried to dismiss it.
Then he proceeded to dig himself deeper into a hole. She knew that he and Mianmian were close but comparing your fiancée to the cousin you grew up with didn't feel great either. Plus, he had said it was just a habit, so Yanli could only surmise that Zixuan viewed her as an older sister figure. She was surprised how unhappy that made her, but it wasn't like it was a role she was unfamiliar with.
She realized she hadn't said anything, but she really didn't know what to say in this situation, so she settled on, "oh, okay."

Zixuan could tell that Yanli seemed off somehow, but he couldn't tell why. Was she tired? Sad? Overwhelmed with the day? Either way, he was getting tired, and he found himself covering a yawn. He asked, "Would you be alright with me taking a shower now before retreating to my space and unpacking a few things before sleeping? I can feel myself starting to get tired enough that if I don't do it now, I'll end up sleeping covered in moving dust."
He headed towards his room to collect a set of silk pajamas and and some underthings so that he could change in the restroom. His towels had already made it to the restroom, as had his toiletries, though he'd have to unpack some of them. Before he went in and locked the door, he glanced over at her, trying to confirm that she didn't need the restroom and didn't have anything that she wanted him to do first.

"Yeah, go right ahead," Yanli said, getting up from the table. She went to the couch and sat down, folding her legs up beneath her.
She figured she'd shower after him, so she just needed to kill some time. She pulled out her phone to look over the menus for later in the week and found herself sighing. Why could they never seem to get the menu right? She grabbed her laptop from her room and sat back on the couch, firing off emails to those who needed to know the changes.

Zixuan didn't linger over his shower, getting himself clean and carefully changing into pajamas. He hung his towel up tidily to dry, careful to leave half of the towel bar near the shower free for Yanli to use. He also put away his toiletries box since he needed several things from it for his shower, and it seemed easier to just put all of it away. He emerged from the bathroom less than half an hour later, looking sleepy, and carrying his clothes from the day and the empty box. He told Yanli softly, "Bathroom's all yours, I'm going to put a few more things away in my room and go to bed. I'll have breakfast for you around seven in the morning."
He didn't linger, heading to his room with a stop in the laundry room to drop his clothes in one of the hampers there, and didn't manage to get much more put away other than finishing setting up and making his bed before he basically fell over after barely remembering to set his alarm for the morning. He slept exhaustedly, but restlessly.

Yanli looked up when Zixuan came out of the shower and waved him off to bed. She put away her laptop and gathered her shower things.
She felt weird showering with a man in the house who wasn't her father or one of her brothers, but she made sure to be quick. She quickly dressed in her night clothes, realizing that she might need new night clothes. She'd never been one for the matching shirt and pants sets. She didn't sleep in lingerie but she did sleep in a silk nightgown that went down to her thighs. She'd have to remedy that, or buy a kimono or robe to wear over it.
She turned off her light and crawled into bed, curling up on her side. In the darkness and silence it was like the whole day had the chance to settle in and hit her. The being alone, the neighbors, the expectations, the Zixuan... She sniffled, trying to keep quiet as she felt tears start rolling down her cheeks. How was she supposed to do this? Then she drifted off to sleep.
