Despite not knowing what's going on - despite thinking Yue Qingyuan is overreacting over something that never happened - he lacks experience with emotional scenes like this, and unwittingly finds tears gathering at the corners of his own eyes as well.

But scrubbing them away would be acknowledging their existence, so he simply chooses to shove the man instead as he turns his back to him. "What kind of example are you supposed to set, if in twenty years the head of the sect still can't show even a modicum of restraint! Get your head out of the clouds, we have more important things to be focusing on right now!" They're lost! In a weird place! In stupid clothes! And he can't let this idiot see his tears either, so he's just going to start marching off in some random direction in this extremely ugly clothing store.
