"these are not my comments credits to respective owner's(combination of two different comments) who wrote this awesome paragraphs in the comments i am just helping you out to understand their relationship better please do read it to understand them better" While ep 7 and 8 seems to be focusing a bit more on Muren and Licheng's changing nature of relationship, but those two episodes (especially episode 8) are very important in the stepbrothers' story development (Xingsi and Yongjie).
As I said on a few occasions before, we must not be triggered or be overly fascinated/sensationalising certain parts of the earlier episodes (especially episode 6). As shown by episode 7 and 8, the story is just about to get a lot more interesting, and more are being revealed in these two. Very important plot lines and details are revealed in these two episodes on the stepbrothers' relationship and history (in my opinion).
First of all, I really like the way the actors portray Xingsi and Yongjie's character. They were good at it, and the emotions on both sides could be clearly seen. And if anyone else also notice, there was in fact a very powerful parallel between what happened at the rooftop and at the end of the episode 8, when in the earlier one, Xingsi held Yongjie's hand, and the history of what happened to Yongjie was revealed more, how he had to endure very difficult period right after his father suddenly died and having to live with hostile relatives.
Note: I have had the privilege of knowing someone who had lost his parents at a young age, and he was adopted as a child by his uncle, and both of his adoptive parents were not treating him well. This person had to endure a lot, and while he wasn't behaving like Yongjie, he clearly showed similar traits (especially in being cold and difficulty to trust others). I totally can understand Yongjie's viewpoint here.
And it was therefore not surprising that Xingsi having entered his life at such a moment, would have gradually brought Yongjie not only out of that depth of despair (he himself said on the rooftop, that was how he felt back then, to be so high up on the precipice, just at the edge of existence), but also slowly to fall in love with Xingsi. To Yongjie, Xingsi is really the sun, the one who had brought warmth and happiness again to him after all he had experienced.
Then, the parallel I mentioned earlier, in my opinion, is when Yongjie told Xingsi, 'I'll let you come home' not once but twice, this time holding Xingsi's hand, which made Xingsi to cry. Notice how it was what happened to Yongjie when Xingsi held his hands on the rooftop too? It went to show how it was not just Yongjie who had experienced a lot of pain in the past, but probably Xingsi as well. There are more to be revealed, and just as the past few episodes had done, they certainly have the trend to show flashbacks of the past, and I won't be surprised if there are more flashbacks in the upcoming episodes.
Why did Xingsi cry at the end of the episode 8? As some of you have guessed here, it may have to do with Xingsi not able to come to terms with how his identity as a gay can sit well with his own father, and how he was really afraid that he will not be accepted by his father, and therefore, compounded by his own growing feeling towards Yongjie, he chose to move out instead on his own accord, so that he would not have to suffer. The fact that Xingsi in episode 7 again uttered how he was worried that he had corrupted and turned his brother to be gay and liking him is a subtle hint that Xingsi really did love Yongjie, and he was truly conflicted in how he should address/handle the situation.
That was why he chose to move away, to step away, and Yongjie was in fact the one to remind him that he should not be afraid, and that the feeling was really mutual (through the parallel of holding hands earlier). And just as Xingsi came to be the 'sun' in Yongjie's life, Yongjie wanted to show that there could be a brighter future for Xingsi together with him (remember when Yongjie spoke to his mother how Xingsi would probably just die an old man without finding happiness? and how he wants to be that happiness for Xingsi in episode 5?)
These two episodes are really what we need, and I really can't wait for episodes 9 and 10 (the preview alone promised us even more revelation of the past and the relationship between the stepbrothers). I feel that so far, on the side of the stepbrothers' story, HIStory 4 Close to You had shown us not only the complexity and the hurdles the two of them had to face, but also their respective characters, while it may seem to be different and polar opposites at the start, yet in truth, they are more alike than they are not, as shown especially when Yongjie showed his vulnerable side on the rooftop).
This is again my opinion, and sorry for the long post, but I think this series truly deserve a proper in-depth explanation and perspective, so that we are not blinded by some plots that in the past week had led to a lot of bitterness earlier. Again, just would like to say that based on evidence in the last week episodes and this week, what happened in episode 6 cannot be considered rape (at the same time, I am not saying that Yongjie's method was also 100% correct and acceptable). But that is fact, and we should move on.

But that is fact, and we should move on.
Just to add on a bit:
The part at the end when Yongjie knew that Xingsi was going to cry and then lead him into the toilet/closet, was really a hit for me. Not only that the closet was (to me) symbolic of how Xingsi was still a 'closeted' gay (hinted also when he said sorry that he had been hiding this fact from even Muren and Licheng), and how he was really struggling with it, but that Yongjie as mentioned, want to be the one to break him out of this state.
And that Yongjie was able to do such a thing, helping Xingsi to cry in secret (away from his father's view), showed that he wasn't necessarily selfish (which some people may have thought based on what he did earlier). He cared about Xingsi first and foremost, and in the end, wanted him to be happy. For the moment, though, Yongjie himself knew that wasn't yet the time to pick a battle (again I like his ability to think that deep) and helped Xingsi to hide rather than openly confront the father/anything of the like.
i am in love with little bro and his character his intelligence just everything ..but i don't like perfect guys so Writer made some little character flaws for little bro :D
hey its actually working perfect after watching first 10minutes clip close the tab come back here copy paste the link again in a new tab and then you can watch the second 10min clip... i just rewatched to see if anything like that is happening maybe yeah idk about audio because i watch it on mute for family reasons (mom grabbed my ear phones)
So what did the younger brother mean by "I'll let you come home?" I didn't get it. In my mind he's saying "you…
what i understood was that the little bro is telling him its ok to be GAY he has no problem with it, .....idk this is what i understood and maybe hinting something about his dad too i am very bad at explaining its complex

i kinda don't understand Xing Si........ like his brother beat his friends and also the nipple touch incident....ps. i find these a bit enough to know what someone is seeing you as.....and Xing Si being gay should have atleast get a small doubt after the nipple touch that his brother is kinda creepy and seems like his brother likes him.... or is it ok to touch your brother nipples like that? it clearly wasn't like applying cream
