I ship them, and have since outer sect.
But for better or worse, I prefer to have the issue out in the open between the two of them.

Funny how some problems in everyone's live would vanish if teenager motivation were governed by a democracy, made up of bored forum users.

Ignoring problems is a big no-no.

Honesty works, more often than not.

completely and utterly fine
And when we have yet another big argument here, it's an existential crisis?

This going to be a tribulation, but that a cost of following our way.
I'm viewing this vote through two lenses. What Ling Qi is attempting to accomplish and her ability/tools to deliver on it.
[] Leave the subject alone, there is no point in making things awkward. Try to continue as before.
Here, Ling Qi is taking a conservative approach to the issue. She's trying to preserve the status quo, though will obviously be proceeding with a heightened awareness of the matter. It is just "try" though, which doesn't imply a hyper-vigilante dedication to keeping the situation static, but there isn't a clear endgoal if the situation develops further etiher.
The limit on Ling Qi's ability to actually keep things the same is basically how reliably she can keep a poker face when interacting with Xuan Shi with the added awkwardness. Historically, she's kind of iffy here, like the issues with Meizhen or initial meetings with Gu Tai and Bao Qian. It's when Ling Qi understood their intentions better that she was able to put the romance angle to the side and engage properly.
[] Find a way to broach the subject, and figure out what he wants. You don't want him to misinterpret things.
This is a more inquisitive path, with Ling Qi trying to delve into Xuan Shi's intentions, then making sure that her own intentions aren't unclear. It's an inherently open-ended result because it depends a lot on what Xuan Shi's intentions really are in practice when he's pressed on the matter. What's he actually looking for, if anything? That's the question this choice seeks to answer.
Tool-wise, this choice relies on Ling Qi's ability to stay somewhat composed and not fly off the handle or reflexively accept Xuan Shi's awkward deflections as definitive, when confronted with a topic that she's deeply uncomfortable with. Historically, she's kind of iffy here, like the issues with Meizhen or initial meetings with Gu Tai and Bao Qian. It's only with other parties being patient with her (or mutual investment/desperation for friends in Meizhen's odd case) initial strangeness that things were able to proceed somewhat smoothly. If Ling Qi's too skittish and Xuan Shi's too shy, things could implode in an number of ways.

I'm actually fine with either option, partly because both seem highly amusing. However, this is the more proactive approach of the two, which neatly embodies Ling Qi's strongly Yang tendencies and themes.

Honestly I dont see them working out as boyfriend and girlfriend. Or married couple.
I think they could be good friends though. However that comes about... well.

Benefit of husbandoing a Tank, if we get in a normal couple's fight Meizhen won't be able to one shot him when she finds out.

Out of sympathy to both of them, my knee jerk reaction was to avoid the painful awkwardness to come and choose option #1. Its instinctively the first choice I would make in that situation but for that exact reason, I know its not a good idea. Avoiding things you fear just makes everything worse for all parties involved.
The socially awkward, avoidant part of me (and the awkward teen I once was) still grimaces at the sheer amount of awkwardness to come though...poor kids lol.

Once aware of it, we really shouldn't run the risk of leading him on (like Meizhen) when we can't afford romance and aren't really attracted to him.
Of course, if moon bro decides to play wingman and advises him to change his wardrobe to open jackets with bare chest, that might change

just like in real life. We have no idea if we would be a good couple or the logistics of long term affections or what it all means but like.
I think he's good.
we clearly want someone that will not be at risk of The Big Die and we clearly want someone right now who isn't gonna aggress. I like him. But we'll need to know more about what we don't know to even know how much we don't know! He's a big ol' ??? in a lot of ways and if we want to be closer friends or potential romance later on down the line we gotta like. Start somewhere right?
Sincerity! Honesty! Flailing Awkwardly! Bluntness! By the powers of LQ UNITE!!
