💘 - Three ways my muse shows they have a crush
If he has a crush on you, Xuan will usually become very sugary sweet and flattering towards you. Words of affirmation are one of his primary love languages, so he very much expresses his affection through his words, like compliments and praise.
He'll also be very chivalrous and will try courting you with gifts, invitations to various dates or simple gestures of affection. He's a direct man, so his love is very much obvious.
And lastly, a third sign that he's enamored can be his mood around the person he likes. If he's in a bad mood, the mere mention of his crush will lighten his mood instantly and generally speaking, when he's around that person, Xuan almost looks as if he's high or in a state of elation.

When he's heartbroken, Xuan usually chooses the sad drunk path, of drowning his sorrows in alcohol until his liver will be on the verge of quitting life.
He smokes more in those circumstances, even if generally speaking Xuan hates smoking and doesn't practice it too often, except when he's really stressed or angry. One could say that depressed Xuan has self destructive tendencies, since he'll also drown himself in work, in particular the high risk hitman bids.
Finally, a heartbroken Xuan will be found listening to sad songs that vibe with his current state of soul, reminiscing the good old times with the one he's lost, as he's slowly going through the 5 stages of grief. When he's drunk, there are also high chances you can find him singing along to these songs (his neighbors hate his 3AM impromptu balcony concerts).
💥 - Three ways my muse shows anger
An angry Xuan will make his bad mood known through subtle actions. He's not loud or explosive, no, his anger is a cold, slow burning one. If he's in a particularly bad mood, Xuan will be more sarcastic and snappy than usual, aiming to hit his interlocutor where it hurts most especially if that person happens to make a mistake.
Angry Xuan will also express his volatile state through his body language, in particular a closed and defensive posture, and a very common trait will be the excessive tapping of his foot.
Lastly, Xuan will express anger by letting his steam out through physical activity, be it a roughly approach when being intimate, or taking his anger out on someone through violence (like torturing a prisoner or traitor, during an assassination mission or straight out in a fist fight if it's initiated by the other party).
