Since everyone is going on about this moment : here's my opinion (if anyone gives a shit about it lol) :

Ok so, almost all the fandom pretty much agrees on the fact that Mo wasn't jealous when he saw the girl, and so do I. But then, what went through his head when he looked at this girl and He Tian ? Why did he run away in the few next panel ?

First, I don't think Mo is jealous of this girl, she has clearly no importance. She is not the main focus of the drawing and doesn't even seem to reach He Tian : the wall behind them cut the image in two parts. He Tian's part takes 2/3 of the image and if full of a light that emphasizes it, while hers is only taking 1/3, on the right, somber, almost invisible and the hair of the girl is grey like the wall : it's like we didn't see her at all. Plus, He Tian is not fully facing her, he doesn't really care about her.

We understand here that though the girl has her little importance, so jealousy is not the theme of those panels. So what pushed Mo to run away ? If not jealousy, what did he feel ?

To me, Mo Guan Shan is hurt and embarrassed by the distance he suddenly feels, between him and He Tian. Let's get a look at the composition of those two panels, and precisely: their opposition. In the first panel, it almost looks like it's the evening, it's a little dark. There's nobody around Guan Shan (or at least nobody really visible, plus they're far away), he's alone. It gives a feeling of solitude. Plus, notice that he is not really the main focus of the drawing : there is a tree next to him, taking half of the place. It looks like Mo is almost part of the decor. And in opposition with this, there is the second panel : brighter, He Tian and this girl don't even seem to pay attention to Mo, while this latter watches them from apart.

All this emphasizes the impression that they are in two separate worlds. Mo looks so little, so far away from He Tian, as it was clear that He Tian didn't need him from where he was. Even though how close those two got, it felt like Mo was nothing in He Tian's world, because he was out of it. That's why the bandaid seemed ridiculous : the girl was there to help He Tian and Mo was now useless. This distance probably made him feel like he could never fit in, it wasn't his place to care for He Tian and be by his side since the girl(s) was (were) already there.
