He Only Likes Me

Want Some Candy?

“This gentleman, may I have a moment of your time, I would like to introduce you to our Heavenly Father and Savior, Lu Su…”

Ji Mian smiled. “I can’t, thank you.”

The young curly haired one: “All right.”

He walked away regretfully, and Ji Mian lowered his eyes.

There was a not-so-subtle dark red stain, like coagulated blood, on the corner of the little curly hair’s jacket.

Ji Mian asked Kane, “Who is Lu Su?”

“Hell knows,” Kane said, “Don’t worry about him, an inexplicable person. Strange to say, there are always such strange people on the streets lately.”

Ji Mian shifted his gaze to meet a pair of dark brown eyes.

Chu Shiye: “Let’s go.”

He carried a bulging bag in his hand, and Ji Mian guessed that it might be a bag of new parts.

Kane collected the money and slipped back into the shop. Ji Mian said: “Is it going to be heavy? Let me help you carry it.”

Chu Shiye: “No need. But you’ll have to help me with something else later.”

Ji Mian: “Hmm?”

A few minutes later, Ji Mian followed Chu Shiye, holding small white flowers in a plastic bottle.

The small white flower was the most beautiful one on the flower stand. Ji Mian’s eyes curved slightly. “Thank you, you really are a good person.”

Chu Shiye said nothing.

The busy street was a bit crowded, and an old man selling goods came up to him.

The old man carried a bamboo basket on his shoulders, and the two black iron pieces in his hands made a crisp sound. Inside the bamboo basket, a piece of milky white rock sugar was neatly arranged on the grass, and it seemed to have a sweet smell.

Ji Mian: I haven’t seen it yet, take another look next time.

Chu Shiye spoke: “Want to eat some candy?”

Ji Mian immediately said: “No, I don’t like to eat sugar.”

Chu Shiye: “Oh.”

He raised his hand, stopped the old man, and bought a piece of sugar cube from the bamboo basket.

Under Ji Mian’s gaze, the old man broke the palm-sized sugar into small pieces, put it in a transparent bag, and handed it to Chu Shiye.

Under Ji Mian’s gaze, Chu Shiye took a piece of candy and put it in his mouth.

“It’s delicious.”

Then, looking at Ji Mian, he tied the bag in a knot and tied it.

Ji Mian: “…”

Ji Mian looked away, his voice sultry: “You’re really not nice.”

Chu Shiye: “Oh.”

His mood seemed to change for the better as he pushed the rest of the candy into Ji Mian’s hand.

“I’m just tasting it,” Ji Mian said.

He picked up a small piece and took a light bite. The sugar cube is slightly sticky, but has a special sweet aroma, a taste he has never tasted before.

Chu Shiye: “Do you like it?”

“Average,” Ji Mian said quickly, “Only children like it, right?”

Chu Shiye: That’s right.

It looks like someone laughed at Su Lan earlier and said he was a child.

The first thing you have to do is to look at Ji Mian who is eating candy in silence and not say anything.

After a while, Ji Mian tied up the bag with half the candy left in it and said to Chu Shiye as if nothing had happened.

“Where will you go after this? I don’t know if there’s a job market here.”

“No need to go there,” Chu Shiye said: “I’ll tell you about the work in a few days.”

After saying that, he added: “Go buy some food first, what do you want to eat?”

Ji Mian said: “It’s expensive to always order take-out, or I’ll make it for you today?”

Without waiting for Chu Shiye’s answer, he added: “I have no health problems, don’t worry.”

Chu Shiye: “….Good.”

He led Ji Mian to another street and without taking a few steps, Chu Shiye raised his hand.

“This way.”

He gently pulled Ji Mian’s arm, and the two of them hid in an alley.

“Black Snake’s people.”

Ji Mian followed Chu Shiye’s gaze and looked over, there were several men standing at the end of the alley, grim and fierce, with unfriendly faces.

Ji Mian: “Do you know them?”

Chu Shiye: “They were wearing uniforms.”

Ji Mian looked closer, the men’s clothes, all tattooed with the design of the Black Snake.

The Black Snake, said to be a greater ground snake force than the Berg, one of the top B-Class Attack Ability on the planet. The scar-faced man who broke into Chu Shiye’s house that day is suspected to be a man sent by the Black Snake.

Ji Mian: “This is Black Snake’s territory?”

Chu Shiye: “Not really, but he has befriended the town chief, and his people can come and go here freely.”

Ji Mian thought: “After that day, the person with the ability who broke into your house never came back.”

“His strength is not comparable to Berg’s.”

Chu Shiye: “Then he must be one of Black Snake’s men. On this planet, only Black Snake has such henchmen.”

Ji Mian didn’t ask him why he was targeted by Black Snake, he just said, “It’s okay, if Black Snake really wants to deal with you, I will help you.”

Chu Shiye looked at him.

“No one here dares to stand up to Black Snake.”

Ji Mian: “Well, even if no one is on your side, I won’t leave.”

Chu Shiye lowered his eyes slightly and raised them again. “Good.”

At the afternoon vegetable market, some scattered vegetables and meat were placed on the stall.

Chu Shiye: “What do you want to buy?”

Ji Mian’s eyes wandered and reported a few home-cooked dishes.

Chu Shiye went to a small stall and picked up a tomato. “How much is a catty?”

Stall owner: “Three coins.”

Ji Mian: So cheap.

Chu Shiye: “Zero point five.”

Stall owner: “I do not want to make money!”

Chu Shiye: “One coin.”

Stall owner: “Okay, okay, okay.”

Ji Mian blinked.

Chu Shiye went back to the beef stall: “How much is it?”

Stall owner: “Forty coins a catty.”

Chu Shiye: “Twenty.”

Stall owner: “You’re cutting it too hard!”

Chu Shiye: “Twenty-five.”

The stall owner waved his hand: “No, no, no!”

Chu Shiye: “Soon the stall will be closed, you can save it for tomorrow if you can still sell it.”

The stall owner hesitated for a moment.

Chu Shiye turned around and left.

The stall owner: “…Wait! Here you go!”

Ji Mian followed Chu Shiye and watched as he skillfully negotiated and finally bought a bunch of ingredients at a very good price.

Ji Mian marveled: “You’re amazing.”

Chu Shiye paused: “No one has ever complimented me on this.”

Ji Mian: “Now you have, do you want to praise again?”

Chu Shiye shook his head and added a few smiles under his eyes.

Back in the hut, Chu Shiye made Ji Mian sit down and said: “You rest first.”

Then, skillfully handle the ingredients, skillfully boil the water, skillfully prepare the ingredients in the pot.

Ji Mian stood up and let him sit down: “You rest first.”

Then he took the beef that he was going to throw directly into the wok to stir-fry, poured water into the wok, put the beef in, and threw in some pieces of ginger and scallions.

The beef blanched and fell into the pot. Chu Shiye thought: “Should I add some salt first?”

He took advantage of Ji Mian slicing tomatoes to pick up the spice jar.

Ji Mian: “Let go, don’t move.”

He pulled Chu Shiye back to the chair, held his shoulders, and then let him sit down.

A very psychological look.

Chu Shiye: “…”

He sat silently for a while and then got up to boil medicine for Ji Mian.

While he was boiling the medicine, he looked at Ji Mian’s side from time to time.

Ji Mian: “I’m fine.”

After all, he is a support system with healing abilities, and although he has just recovered from his injuries, the strain on his body is not that great without using his spiritual power.

Chu Shiye: “Hmm.”

Keep looking at him from time to time.

It didn’t take long until dinner was ready. The soft and sticky beef stew with potatoes was gurgling in the pot, the aroma of the potatoes seeping into the meat juice. The braised fish was sprinkled with a layer of chili and scallions and poured over with hot oil. There is also a plate of crisp and tender green wok-fried fresh vegetables.

Chu Shiye shallowly tasted a bite, and the bottom of his dark brown eyes slightly lit up: “Very tasty.”

“Much better than the ones I made, and much better than the ones bought outside.”

Ji Mian smiled: “Then eat a little more.”

Chu Shiye took a few more chopsticks, obviously it was just a home-cooked dish, but to him it was something delicious that he had never tasted before. He couldn’t help but say: “It’s really delicious.”

“Do you cook a lot at home?”

“No,” said Ji Mian, “I only cooked for one person at that time.”

At that time, his mother had just been hospitalized and always had little appetite, so he learned many recipes from outside and cooked for his mother in different ways.

At first, my mother still liked it, and his face would show a rare smile.

But later, as his condition worsened, he could no longer eat what he had cooked.

And his so-called father was busy pleasing another person during that time.

A woman with a three-point resemblance to his mother’s appearance.

The first thing you have to do is get a good idea of what you’re doing.

In any case, he will go back and put an end to those people.

But before he does that, he has a debt of gratitude that has yet to be repaid.

The first time I noticed Chu Shiye’s gaze, Ji Mian raised his eyes as usual and gave him a little smile.

He will stay here temporarily until, his rescuer can get what he wants.

After the meal, Chu Shiye cleared the table and went to the stove to wash the dishes.

Ji Mian finished drinking the medicine, and originally wanted to give Chu Shiye spiritual guidance. But Chu Shiye refused, saying he had a temporary matter, let Ji Mian rest first.

The black-haired youth silently pushed out the door, and Ji Mian sat on the bed, casually opening a book.

He intended to wait for Chu Shiye’s return, but that wait would last until the latter part of the night.

The light was dim, Ji Mian pressed the corner of his forehead lightly, noticed a slight movement at the door and looked up.

The door of the house was pushed open very gently, the night fell heavily, the young Alpha stepped back into the night, light and shadow fell, his face still had undried blood.

The young Alpha returned from the night, light and shadow falling, his face still covered in undried blood. Ji Mian immediately put down the book and stood up.

Chu Shiye probably did not expect that Ji Mian would still be asleep, so Ji Mian walked over to him, slightly stunned.

The black-haired young man’s short knife was tucked away at his waist, dragging a bloodied, lifeless beast in his hand.

When Ji Mian looked around and saw that Chu Shiye was unharmed, just stained with beast blood, his expression was slightly relieved and his gaze fell on the dead beast.

“This is an E-Class beast?”

The beasts living in the interstellar realm still look like the old Earth era, but they have long mutated, they do not have a Spiritual Body, but like the awakened ones, they have a certain amount of Spiritual Ability.

However, most of the beasts’ spiritual power is very weak, such as this E-Class beast.

Chu Shiye nodded slightly, casually wiping away the blood on his face and said, “It’s very late, you should rest first.”

Ji Mian looked into her eyes. “The smell is not good, you went to a different place than before?”

Chu Shiye said nothing and tried to avoid him.

Ji Mian followed him: “Coming home late at night is also not like your daily routine.”

“Could it be because of my work?”

Chu Shiye: “……”

Chu Shiye: “No.”

Ji Mian: The tone is a bit harsh.

He spoke again, “If it’s because I—”

“Don’t think too much,” before he could finish the sentence, he was interrupted by Chu Shiye’s expressionless face, “I do it to make money.”

Ji Mian: “If you want money, take my cuff links and go to another planet and sell them.”

Chu Shiye: “…”

Chu Shiye looks at Ji Mian.

Ji Mian: “You don’t seem to be very good at lying.”

Chu Shiye: “…”

Ji Mian: “So you took this job because of my work?”

Chu Shiye: “…”

Ji Mian raised his hand and waved it in front of Chu Shiye: “Are you still here?”

Chu Shiye thought to himself: He is so smart.

I don’t care, I won’t tell.

So he turned around and ran away.

Ji Mian: “??”

This is your home.

Why are you running away?
