Chu Shiye walked in front, and Ji Mian followed slowly behind, with a distance of more than one meter between them.
Just as Ji Mian was considering how to appease this Alpha, Chu Shiye stopped.
He didn't look back, but just stood there. Ji Mian guessed that he wanted to say something, so he walked forward.
When he was two steps away from Chu Shiye, Chu Shiye still didn't speak, but walked forward again.
This time he slowed down his pace a lot and would never overtake Ji Mian by much.
Ji Mian: Eh, it seems like you’re waiting for me.
So he said, "I'm sorry, because the principal took me to familiarize myself with the environment, so I was delayed for some time."
Chu Shiye: "It doesn't matter."
Ji Mian, who originally wanted to say something more, said: Hmm
You responded so quickly, you don’t seem very angry
He looked at Chu Shiye again.
The bottom of Chu Shiye's dark brown eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without a single ripple.
Ji Mian: He still doesn’t look very happy.
Ji Mian thought about it and decided that it would be more effective to get straight to the point with this Alpha: "Are you angry?"
Chu Shiye: "I'm not angry."
He paused and added, "I'm not angry about this matter."
Ji Mian: "Is it because of something else?"
Chu Shiye: "No, I'm not angry."
Ji Mian: “Oh.”
He raised his hand and patted Chu Shiye on the head.
Chu Shiye: “… ?”
Ji Mian: "Seeing that you are in a bad mood, I will comfort you."
Without waiting for Chu Shiye to say anything, he added: "I see, you are not angry, and you are very happy now."
Chu Shiye: “…”
Chu Shiye's mouth was pursed into a straight line.
He was not angry. What was there to be angry about
Besides, what reason could he have to be angry
…So what’s the reason
Chu Shiye paused.
Ji Mian observed Chu Shiye's expression calmly, and soon he discovered that this Alpha didn't seem so angry anymore.
Because he became depressed.
As if he found that he just couldn’t figure out something, Chu Shiye gave up thinking and looked at Ji Mian sullenly.
He said, "I'm sorry."
Ji Mian: “Hmm?”
Why say sorry to him
Chu Shiye: "I ignored you just now, I'm sorry."
Ji Mian: "Oh - it's okay, it's just a small matter."
He wanted to laugh a little and thought, why is it so awkward
At first, he thought Chu Shiye was a young but mature and steady person, but now it seems that this is not the case.
This Alpha's thoughts are always in a tangled mess, and he always likes to overthink. If he is not careful, he may get himself into a vicious circle.
We have to find a way to pull him out.
The two walked side by side down a street, and on the left was the exit from the city. Chu Shiye was about to turn left when Ji Mian pulled him back.
Chu Shiye lowered his eyes, and a slender hand hooked his sleeve. The owner of that hand spoke slowly and calmly: "Here, didn't I say I wanted to treat you to a meal?"
Chu Shiye: “No.”
He said, "Keep that money. It's your money."
Ji Mian smiled and said, "Without you, I wouldn't be able to find this job."
