Such a surprising rarity lol
Oh well...it was a fun illusion while it lasted, looks like he's willing to be a "real man", and fight the protag for no reason other than "She likes you"
He WANTS to fight him yes. But he isn't doing so. At least not yet. As said, he thinks rationally about the situation and realised right away that he would only push Xia YuNing away. Even with the latest chapter, with Ye XingHe's unreasonable request he decides to go along.
So definitely a different kind of "rival", for a change. :)
True, at least he knows how to control himself, and use reason. I have a feeling thought that the two of them will fight, and become good friends. At least I hope so, since Ye XingHe doesn't have a Vegeta to his Goku, there's that kid from the early chapters, but I don't really think he fits the bill.
Interesting analogy. But Ye XingHe getting a "vegeta to his goku" could be a good addition. :P I doubt it though. I bet he's just going to try and use secret methods to get rid of Ye XingHe later.
Wow, a love rival of sorts that doesn't resort to the age ol' "Imma beat you up punk! That's ma gurl!", and actually thinks rationally about how to win her back.
