[After talking to Blade, Dan Heng has had to brainstorm with their favorite husky on a plan for how to talk to Jing Yuan plainly about their feelings. After some consideration, he decides to take the first step himself. With luck or maybe stubbornness, he might be able to get through to Jing Yuan without going for the last resort plan.

Taking a deep breath and ignoring the butterflies in his stomach, he calls Jing Yuan instead of texting him.]

Yuan, I'm about to take over lunch to A-Xing, but I'd like your help with something first. I've made enough for three if you'd like to join us, too.
