Oh Gods! Was that a regection?! Please tell me that wasn't Yuan regecting Huan Wen! Please tell me that was just Yuan being dense again!

I don’t think it was a rejection. Huan Wen wanted to say two things - one, that he’s gay, two, that he likes Yuan. But as you already know, he couldn’t say the second one so pretended that the second thing he wanted to say is that the dish was salty. He couldn’t confess so I think Yuan still doesn’t know that Huan likes him.

This is BAD Dom behavior. If you can very clearly see that your Sub is truly afraid, unsure, or straight up unwilling to go through with a scene. You stop, safe word or no, and address the issue like rasional, concenting adults. You do not threaten them with abandonment or violence. Especially if said scene is going against the original rules that both parties originally agreed to.
