drop.
The silver bracelet on his wrist lit up slightly, and Ji Mian lowered his eyelashes nonchalantly.
The latest message on the communication list was from Ji Cheng - his half-brother, wishing him "safe journey" on the day he left the Ji family.
Ji Mian glanced at the message indifferently, his dark eyes calm, and walked forward.
In the interstellar port, a man was wandering in front of the entrance of the spacecraft about to depart, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Xiao Mian, you are really here!"
When the man saw Ji Mian's figure, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
"I heard that you are leaving the capital planet today, so I came to see you off."
"Thank you very much."
Ji Mian's voice was clear, calm and slightly cold like the first falling snow.
"I heard that you are getting engaged to the daughter of Aaron's family. Congratulations."
The man named Rand was stunned. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his mouth. An inexplicably guilty expression appeared on his face: "You know everything?"
Seeing that Ji Mian didn't respond and seemed to want to defend herself, he spoke again: "Xiao Mian, I don't actually like her, it's just..."
"Don't call me that," Ji Mian interrupted without changing his tone, "I don't think our relationship is that close yet."
"… "
Sensing his distance, Rand was speechless, his face dimmed, his eyes drifted, not stopping anywhere, and finally fell back on Ji Mian's face.
His newly engaged fiancée, the Omega of the Aaron family, was a beauty and a famous rose on the capital planet. However, Ji Mian was right in front of him at this moment, and looking at her eyes, Rand had to admit that as an Omega, the gorgeous rose would pale in comparison to Ji Mian.
Bo Lande had long known about the recent turmoil in the Ji family. After experiencing such a change, he thought the person in front of him would become haggard, fragile and weak, but that was not the case.
The wind, frost and snow could hardly leave any trace on Ji Mian, or perhaps he himself was the frost and snow that was difficult to approach.
"… "
For a moment, the expression on Rand's face changed several times, his eyes were fixed on Ji Mian's face, and there was inexplicably a special emotion in his expression.
Ji Mian frowned slightly, not intending to stay any longer, and walked straight past Rand.
Rand didn't know where he got the impulse and courage from, but when Ji Mian passed by him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Xiao Mian, don't go, stay!"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Rand blocked Ji Mian's way.
"I have a house in the R3 area. No one knows where it is and I am the only one who has the key to it."
"You can live there. Clothes, food, daily life - I will arrange everything for you. You don't have to worry about anything. Just..."
What responded to him was Ji Mian's suddenly cold voice: "Let go."
Rand looked at him lovingly and patiently lowered his voice: "Where can you go now? You are just an Omega, and you are so good-looking. If you leave the Ji family and the capital planet, I don't know how many people will covet you... It's so dangerous outside, can you protect yourself?"
His affectionate gaze lingered on Ji Mian's face, as if a person on the shore was admiring the ugly sight of a drowning person in the lake begging for mercy. What filled his chest was not pure love, but more of the joy and pride of being able to look down on others and give alms.
