"I… "
Chu Shiye had just uttered a word when he seemed to think of something and closed his mouth.
He looked at Ji Mian.
Ji Mian looked at him.
Chu Shiye was silent for a few seconds.
He stood up stiffly.
"Let me cook for you."
Ji Mian: “?”
Chu Shiye ran away quickly.
Ji Mian: “???”
At the kitchen, Chu Shiye lowered his head stiffly, avoiding Ji Mian's gaze.
Since, since he was already going to leave with Su Lan, then what he wanted to say... could wait a little longer.
Chu Shiye thought silently.
They will be traveling to other planets soon, so it should be said in a better place.
In the books he had read before, when saying that kind of thing, there was always a sense of ritual.
…Maybe it can make Su Lan happier.
An Alpha quietly hid away. Ji Mian: Walk slowly.
Stubborn guy, let’s see how long you can hold it in.
He stood up.
Chu Shiye turned back immediately, wanting him to continue lying on the bed and rest.
Ji Mian shook his head: "I'll teach you."
Then he added in a low voice: "Otherwise I'm afraid I won't have lunch."
Chu Shiye: "...Oh."
Standing beside Ji Mian sullenly.
Maybe before saying those words... learn to cook a normal meal first.
In this way, he could cook for Su Lan while saying those words to him.
Ji Mian slowly washed a tomato and said, "Let's go buy something before we leave."
Chu Shiye, who was cutting vegetables nearby, said: “Yeah.”
Ji Mian handed him the tomato: "Do you have a favorite planet?"
Chu Shiye: "It's all right. You decide."
Ji Mian: "Okay, then I'll take a look first."
Having said that, they were in no rush to travel.
In the following days, Ji Mian's mental strength recovered, and he continued to provide spiritual counseling to those who were out of control in an orderly manner.
Chu Shiye stayed with him all the time. When he felt that Ji Mian might be tired, he would pull him away to prevent him from over-exerting his mental energy.
About a week later, the last person who lost control was successfully cured by Ji Mian.
He walked out of the guardhouse with thanks and found that the gate was crowded with people.
Those out-of-control people who were cured by him, as well as their relatives and friends, all came to thank Ji Mian.
"Mr. Su, thank you! You saved my child!"
"Mr. Su, if it weren't for you..."
"Mr. Su, you must accept this!"
"And mine, my thank you gift!"
"Mr. Su... Eh? Where is Mr. Su?"
—There were too many people, so Ji Mian pulled Chu Shiye and ran away.
When he ran out, he didn't accept any thank-you gifts. It was not until the two of them stood on a quiet street corner that he took out two candies from his pocket.
It was a little girl held in her mother's arms and placed in his palm.
Ji Mian generously gave Chu Shiye one: "One for you and one for me."
Chu Shiye stared at the candy in his palm. It tasted the same as Ji Mian's.
Unwrap the candy wrapper and eat it.
… a greasy sweet taste.
Although she doesn't like it very much, Su Lan likes it.
Chu Shiye held Ji Mian's hand, walked on the same street with him, and ate the same candy.
