Xue Yang laughs at the idea that he would be the one with any such feelings. "I don't believe in such confessions. If sex is going to happen, it happens. He just got extremely worked up when I asked him if he liked you as a lover would and so I was curious what your response to it would be."

If Xue Yang was good at confessing his feelings perhaps the one person he actually cared about in such a way wouldn't have ended up the way they had. But perhaps in a way this conversation as well as his conversation with Senku is helping him to understand a little bit more about himself as well.
