Ji Mian grabbed Chu Shiye’s sleeve and pulled him back.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Shiye had a blank expression on his face: “Nothing.”
Ji Mian observed his expression and found that at this moment, he couldn’t tell what this Alpha was thinking.
strange.
So he poked Chu Shiye: "Is it really nothing?"
Chu Shiye's eyes passed over Ji Mian's white fingertips: "Nothing."
Ji Mian: "Then why did you run just now?"
Chu Shiye: “…”
Chu Shiye said dryly: "Nothing."
Ji Mian was silent.
Could it be that what he just said was too embarrassing and this Alpha didn't like to hear it
Um…
The two looked at each other, and finally Ji Mian said, "Let's take a break."
Chu Shiye nodded immediately and hugged his quilt.
Ji Mian: Oh, I really embarrassed him.
Since he doesn't like it, he should say less next time.
Ji Mian returned to the bed, looked at Chu Shiye who was lying straight without saying a word, and said, "When are we going out tomorrow?"
Chu Shiye was silent for a few seconds, and said: "The landlord may not wake up so early... Ten o'clock."
Ji Mian: “Okay.”
His tone slightly raised: "Good night."
Chu Shiye: Maybe, this is the last time he hears Su Lan say good night.
He whispered, "Goodnight."
The lights in the house were turned off, leaving only the dim moonlight.
I don’t know how much time passed, Chu Shiye turned his head and his eyes stayed on the bed for a long time, without moving at all.

In the early morning, gurgling hot air spread throughout the house.
Ji Mian got up holding the quilt. Chu Shiye stood in front of the kitchen, stirring the casserole silently with a spoon.
Ji Mian blinked: "Are you making breakfast?"
"Well," Chu Shiye said, "I cooked porridge for you."
Ji Mian was silent for a moment.
Chu Shiye immediately said: "This time it's normal... at least it looks that way."
Ji Mian smiled: "Okay."
After he finished washing up, a bowl of porridge was already placed in front of him.
A bowl of ordinary white porridge.
Ji Mian: What a big improvement, it’s actually white.
Chu Shiye looked at him expectantly.
Ji Mian lifted the spoon, blew on it to cool it down, and took a bite.
Hmm... It smells a bit burnt and a bit weird.
However, at least it was eatable, which was really touching compared to the "porridge" on the first day.
Ji Mian smiled and said, "It tastes great. You did a great job."
Chu Shiye: "Because the teacher teaches well."
Ji Mian: “Oh—”
"What a good student, with such a sweet mouth."
Chu Shiye met the smile in his eyes, and after a second, looked away.
Pick up the bowl and take a sip.
… The taste wasn’t particularly good, at least, much worse than what Su Lan made.
but…
Chu Shiye looked straight ahead while Ji Mian drank the porridge he cooked slowly, mouthful by mouthful.
Su Lan seemed to like it very much.
The corners of Chu Shiye's mouth raised slightly, but then quickly fell.
At ten o'clock, the two prepared to go out and look at the house.
The sky, which had been rainy for almost a week, finally cleared up. Chu Shiye took a spare umbrella and said, "There are not many houses outside the city. I'll take you to the city first."
Ji Mian: “Okay.”
