I like the push/pull here between Jinshi and Maomao as they're feeling out the shape of their relationship in the wake of Jinshi reclaiming his identity as a prince of the nation. The part where Maomao hands him the balm and tells him that he could use that and just stop coming feels especially in character; on the surface she's pushing him away, but it reads as her testing his desire to actually see her outside of whatever usefulness she believes she has to him.
