The truth was, Huo Siqian was certain Rick wasn't going to shoot…
Finally, Rick admitted defeat; he slowly put his gun down and repeated, for the third time, "Let go of Xixi…"
He was willing to die to save Qin Chu, but he couldn't bear to see Xixi die in front of him in such a brutal manner.
Therefore, for the first time in his life, Rick admitted defeat.
He felt sorry towards his friend and Huo Mian.
When he picked Xixi up from an abandoned factory, Rick finally understood why Qin Chu was willing to risk his own life to save Huo Mian.
Because Huo Mian occupied every fiber in Qin Chu's body, and he loved her more than his own life. That was how Rick felt towards Xixi.

"Why? You feel bad for her?" Mo Xue'er asked back, with slight jealousy in her tone.
