Putting aside the utter ridiculousness of Kevin's suggested trap is honestly difficult, because Xie would really like to mock him for it, but he needs to focus on the fact that Kevin trusts him.
He agreed to let him go outside, he believed him about the necklace, he doesn't jump to assuming the worst... it's clearly not naivety, or even just the pure logic that his explanation would suggest, Xie doesn't know how he's so sure but he is.
Kevin trusts him... and he doesn't deserve it. He would have run, if he could. He is wearing the necklace. As reassuring as it is to know there's one person who believes he wouldn't have planned this, it only makes his guilt worse.
How is it that he feels guilty for betraying Yifu and betraying Kevin at the same time?
