Okay, that background context explains Yanu's low rapport. He simply does not have rapport with Eyra because he believes his mate is still somewhere out there. Maybe he's purposely keeping a low rapport because he does not want to actually fall for this play lover of his, in case one day he meets his mate. This explains why I kept feeling like their relationship was "business" and getting nowhere.
Basically Yanu is keeping Eyra around for entertainment and sex he's a red dragon with red flags. Eyra already likes Yanu alot already though, poor guy, just being used as the side piece. I'm hoping Eyra figures it out that he is the mate before Yanu does and have his payback moment before the truth comes out.
The box is the proof of Mo's feelings. Mo is always tsundere so he never outright says what he feels but that box shows he does care and did miss Hetian. He couldn't even throw away the items of someone he supposedly "dislikes." Which is a reality check for Hetian because although it is shown he likes Mo no matter what and will continue to interject himself into Mo's life, he has never had this much of a physical confirmation before. Mo constantly rejects him so he got used to thinking "I'm the only one who has real interest in this relationship" but he now understands the weight of his presence means more to Mo than Mo let on and he may have not been the only one who has interest in the relationship.
Idk what old xian is gonna draw next but it will be funny if Hetian teases Mo about the box and Mo denies it and attempt to destroy it or smth but Hetian is gonna find it stashed in another spot lol.










Gotta make sure it's a dream before showing his true feelings, don't wanna get caught being in love
