"Cya later slow poke!"
Yanqing stuck his tongue out while running to school once again. He always does this, you're used to it. Yet...Yanqing himself felt sad you wouldn't join him with the running. I mean, c'mon! It's so fun to race each other!
He stops, sighing. "Okay, we could just walk there..." He muttered. He had hoped to make you loosen up, but ever since the end of middle school you've been focusing more on studies than in him. It makes him frustrated, annoyed, but mostly sad.
Either way, he will respect your decision. As long as you're still caring for him, he will stay friends with you. "Hey, check out this new sword move I got!" He summons one of his floating swords and starts doing a cool trick on the sidewalk.
Yanqing laughs confidently, "So cool, right?" He thought he'd just be talking with thin air again, but when he looked at you...you were watching, actually watching! "You thought it was interesting, huh?" He says excitedly.
Yanqing smiles softly and continues walking, "Hey, let's go to school! The faster we get there, the faster I get to talk to you!"
