Of course he did! It'd been made explicitly clear that everything should go off without a hitch and, in their defense, it all had until the honeymoon. Maybe this wasn't what Sizhui had expected, it isn't entirely unwelcome either, given his current position; his fingertips caressing Vincenzo's arm, the comforting stroke across his cheek. Credit where it's due, something far worse could've happened— like becoming a widow shortly after just marrying? (That would have been horrific!)
He withdraws while Vincenzo finishes undressing, head tilting this way and that, giving the man a thorough once-over to make absolute certain he's not hurt elsewhere. From what he can tell, there's nothing that needs immediate attention, prompting another comforted sigh then Sizhui collects the robe, holding an end in one hand and tossing the other side over Vincenzo's shoulders.
A little more intimate, being so close to drape the cover around him, but it means they can continue softly conversing amongst themselves without any worry of someone eavesdropping. All of this sounds like a lot, yet he continues paying attention, noting each and every word Vincezo says, features creased with thought. So, alongside the marriage, there's protection in exchange for making sure the house runs smoothly and whatever else comes with that... it's not the worst thing here, being deemed worthy enough for the Cassano family's consideration, but he is somewhat questioning his abilities. For God's sake, Jim, he's a doctor!
Not that he lets his apprehension show for long. Sizhui's hands tug the robe's edges together, he pats Vincenzo's chest then smiles faintly and straightens again. “Does ‘everyone’ also include you?” Another joke, he can't help himself, humor helps lessen the worry about his racing heartbeat.
