Zewu-jun, there's something I need to speak with you about in confidence. Can I have your word that you'll listen to what I have to say and won't mention it to anyone, even if you don't believe me?
Don't trust him. I'm still trying to work out what I know about him and I won't guarantee that everything I've heard is true—we both know how rumors go, don't we?—but don't trust him.
I've been told things about him from people I trust. About things he's done and people he's hurt.
Don't think I don't see the hypocrisy of this coming from me. The truth is that right now I don't know enough to make a sound judgment, but I do know with certainty that he's hiding much from the people here. I know that doesn't mean anything by itself.
Still Zewu-jun, please be careful with him. If what I've heard is true, he has great capacity for cruelty and is very good at charming people into believing he's harmless.

He's not who he presents himself to be.

[ xichen knows too well the sudden dread in his stomach, that reminder that many are not what they seem to be.
sometimes it is mere rumor that holds no ground but wei wuxian has proven a better judge of character than xichen himself. there is more to this. ]
