Ji Mian and Chu Shiye looked at each other.
After a few seconds, Ji Mian said, "Is it okay, Mr. Landlord?"
Chu Shiye: “…”
Chu Shiye turned his head.
"Can."
Ji Mian's eyebrows curved: "That's great."
"Well, let's go pick a bed later, shall we?"
Chu Shiye: “Yeah.”
Then he silently picked up a few slices of braised meat for Ji Mian.
Ji Mian shared the beef in his bowl with him.
Kane: "... Boss, another bowl of noodles, with two eggs!"
.
The culprit of the assault case a few days ago has not been found yet, and because of this, the night market is no longer as lively as before.
In a corner of the street, a teenager squatted there silently, with black and swollen corners of his eyes and several bruises on his body.
The temperature was low at night, and he was huddled together, wearing only a single shirt.
"Nato?"
A familiar clear and pleasant voice sounded, Natto was stunned and slowly looked up.
The young man bent down and looked at him level: "Why are you here?"
Natto: "...Teacher Su."
Ji Mian also didn't expect to meet Natto, a student in his class here.
Because of the assault case, no parents would let their children run outside at will recently, and even had to pick them up and drop them off at school... Natto was alone on the street at night.
Ji Mian's gaze fell on Natuo's injured face, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's them again?"
Natto immediately shook his head: "No, not other students."
"I really fell accidentally this time."
Ji Mian: “Really?”
He could tell that Natto was not lying in the first half of his sentence.
Natto didn't want anyone to explore the cause of these wounds, and he could hear it.
Ji Mian touched Nato's head, and a few tiny spots of light came out of his fingertips.
Just like last time, Natto only felt his face getting slightly hot—the wounds that were so painful that he could hardly open his eyes had healed in the blink of an eye.
Nato was stunned: "…The healing system is really amazing."
He remembered that Teacher Su said that he was a healing person.
Ji Mian: "It's too dangerous for you to be outside alone. Let's take you back."
"—Or, is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"
When Natto heard the word "we", he noticed that there was a young man standing next to Ji Mian, accompanying him in silence.
He hesitated for a while and said hesitantly, "Can... can you take me to my aunt's house? It's in the west of the city."
Ji Mian: "Of course."
The three of them walked towards the west of the city together. Natto was the last one, constantly stealing glances at the figures of the two people in front.
He had seen the person next to Mr. Su several times.
When Teacher Su came to work or went home, this person always followed Teacher Su closely.
Apparently, he's a very powerful Alpha.
After a while, Natuo couldn't help but whispered, "Teacher, are you...relatives?"
Chu Shiye looked at Ji Mian, who winked at him and said, "He's my landlord."
Chu Shiye was silent.
Nato: “Oh oh.”
He thought about it and muttered quietly: "Is the landlord still responsible for picking people up from get off work?"
Ji Mian: "Responsible, because he is a good landlord."
Chu Shiye remained silent again.
