[It's that smile that seals it. Nie Huaisang's just having fun, taunting him now, when Jin Guangyao could end his life -- and end up with his own snuffed out again, and the smug little fucker knows it. His move, was it?
His hand grips the table-edge, white-knuckled, another loud hiss of breath the only warning before that grip changes and he jerks up from his seat and flips the table in one motion, sending a shower of white and black stones scattering across the patio. Jin Guangyao's chair even comes out from under him, pulled by the lashing of that tail as he stands up.
For a half second it almost seems worth it again, to be on the run for the rest of his life, as long as Huaisang would pay the price now, and he stares at him with those gleaming gold eyes once more, quiet fury on his face for that moment.]

Whose move is it now, Huaisang?
