Xiang Liu and You (Yes, You)

 Niki Demonix:

?

XY could have had this, instead she chose that?? The mind boggles

 nathsketch:

They're too funny together :D

They are!  Apparently they are friends.  I saw a few posts from Jackson Wang fans who were happy they were sitting together ... cause they were afraid he would be bored or fall asleep. :)

"God bless you Tan Jianci, you probably got Jackson through the night lol"

But I think Tan appreciated being around people he knew.

 Kikinaki:

Hahahaha, they look like little boys just being gay

LOL!  In both senses of the word. ;p

 Kokuto:

This pair were obviously having a blast at the TenCent Awards.

i looooove that XL's robe with the red lines aligning nicely on his chest.

After the dream scene, he didn't wear it anymore. sigh.

This one was nice.  Didn't he wear it during the 37 year healing on the clam shell?  Or am I confused again?

 HeadInTheClouds:

The red signified blood. The period that he wore this outfit was when he was falling in love with WYL/XY. He was emotionally open and vulnerable. This was also the outfit that he wore outside of the Bone Prison when Xiao Yao said that he's not suitable to step into a girl's dreams. He was at his most vulnerable and open to her in that moment and she stabbed him in the heart. He must have been so devastated. I don't think he ever wore that outfit again. It's like a signal that he's stepped away from their relationship following that exchange. 

So heartbreaking.  Those scenes on the beach really were devastating.  And it always annoying when people complain about XL telling her to swim back.  As if he didn't watch over her on the way back, despite having his heart ripped out emotionally.

It was less armor looking than the outfit he first met her in and that he wore when fighting.  As XL he didn't really have that many costumes.  FFB, on the other hand, had more.

I love this GIF.  He looks so pleased with himself. Such a gorgeous character.

The little sad laugh that he made after she gave her little "you're not suitable to step into a girl's dream" speech was hard to watch. He probably wanted to get as far away from her as possible; who would have wanted to hang around after getting stabbed in the heart like that? He has pride and self-respect, unlike a certain someone that we all know. But he made sure that she was safe.

He only had a handful of outfits as Xiang Liu. As you said, his other ones are more structured and "armour" looking befitting his image as Shen Nong's Army strategic advisor and the one in question is the "softest", floatiest one. It represented him in his "softest" moments/period. Xiang Liu never was as "soft" after that exchange outside of Bone Prison.
