The details don't matter. Not yet, anyway. Xue Yang is too enamored with the fact that Xiao Xingchen is alive and in his arms! Nothing can take this away from him. Nothing. He won't let it!

"You're mine!" he chokes - and that hadn't been what he wanted to say to Xingchen right off the bat. He's so damn tongue-tied around this man and he only ever ends up being silly or cruel!

"You weren't meant to die and - and this proves it!" he pulls back to examine Xingchen's throat, brushing his fingertips over the scar, "You were supposed to stay with me. This place fixed it."

Right?
