I guess the romantic part of our proposal to continue the race comes mostly from the personal quirks of the two. If we wanted to one-up her, if we only wanted the victory, then it would be in our grasp already, but that's not what we are after. We want her to be there with us. Given how insanely hypercompetitive Jing is, it means even more than promising the moon and the stars - it means we are ready to sacrifice the right to stick our tongue out and chant 'nyahaha, I'm better than you'.
Sounds ridiculous, right? Except that if there is a person who can grasp the importance of it, it's' Yunzi, because of how alike they are. I mean, would she ever give up her chance to do just that? Being first is so valuable to them, so ingrained in their natures, that it seems unthinkable that they can ever budge on this, yet here we are with our offer.
It's the non-verbal part that helps to get the message across.
