On the one hand, Xie wins either way because he gets out of the house. On the other hand... he absolutely does not win if Kevin does, because that sounds like a horrible way to spend the afternoon.
Watching football in a pub is bad enough, but being seen in public with his hair in a ponytail? He practically shudders at the thought.
Still, stakes like that make it interesting... or, they would, if he wasn't fairly confident he can actually win in about three moves, so he nods.
"Deal."
Having to do what Kevin says even if he wins does dampen his enthusiasm somewhat, but he also sort of expected as much anyway, so he can live with it.
