[ The head pat takes him by surprise, so he doesn't duck away. Strangely, the gesture doesn't strike him as condescending at all. It's almost... kind? Almost affectionate. An almost affectionate gesture and a deep kiss within a short span of time, from a stranger....
It makes him feel a bit odd.
Not only that, but he's butted heads with authority figures since he was a teenager, and this person absolutely screams "distinguished cultivator." They would obviously be on different sides, if this Shen Qingqiu knew who he really was. There wouldn't be any almost kindness or almost affection. ]
