When Jiang Chen saw Zhong Li for the first time, he felt that this person was really wasting such a good-looking face. He always had no expression at all, as if there was some barrier between him and the world.
So Jiang Chen kept teasing him, taking pleasure in seeing different expressions on his face. He wanted to draw Zhongli into this world.
It wasn't until later, when Zhong Li smiled and agreed to him, that Jiang Chen realized that he wanted to enter this person's world, help him heal his wounds, and then take him as his own.
Intention: You make me want to be a better version of myself
