He Only Likes Me

CHAPTER 08

It’s Better Not to Talk

“From now on, you are my wife!”

After his declaration of confidence, Berg suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

He turned his head to look at it.

Chu Shiye’s face was expressionless, and a sheathed short knife was lying in front of his neck.

Berg’s face changed, and the younger brother behind him immediately rushed over to him.

“Big brother!”

The atmosphere froze and swords were drawn. Kane’s head turned to Berg, next to Chu Shiye, and next to Ji Mian’s side.

The bottom of Ji Mian’s eyes didn’t have much emotion, despite being in the middle of the whirlpool, he didn’t care how things were. His eyes fell in front, clearly reflecting the back of the back in front of themselves.

He comes from a big family in the Star Capital, deeply intertwined interests like ancient trees wrapped around the roots, even if personally offended each other, to tear the face will not take a more extreme way. Under the fake smile, it is always wrong and unspoken snakes.

This is the first time someone has defended him like this, without hesitating to pull the knife.

Even if, this person has no family behind, or strong power.

“Wait,” Berg stiffened and looked at Chu Shiye, “didn’t you say he wasn’t your wife?”

Chu Shiye said coldly: “Don’t touch him.”

“…Oh, I know.”

Berg took a step back, his eyes rolled a few times, and then a smile appeared.

“In that case, why don’t we have another match?” He said.

“If I win, he’ll come with me. If you win, just forget that I said anything today.”

“You just won over me, I respect you as a strong man. Since you are a strong man, you don’t have to be afraid to fight again, do you?”

There was a calculating smile in Berg’s smile, however, it was only Chu Shiye’s colder words that responded.

“You also think too much of yourself.”

Berg: “What?”

“Where he wants to go is his freedom, neither you or I are qualified to decide on this matter.”

The bottom of Chu Shiye’s dark eyes were like deep, bottomless pools of cold water. “You are also qualified to say this.”

Berg: “You—”

“There’s no need to bother like that.”

A calm voice interrupted the argument that was about to erupt, and Ji Mian took a few steps and gently pulled Chu Shiye’s arm.

Chu Shiye lowered his head.

Ji Mian did not look at him, but met Berg’s gaze, the corners of his mouth smiling. “I will compete with you, if I lose, as you wish.”

Berg’s eyes lit up when he heard the second half of Ji Mian’s sentence.

“But if you lose,” Ji Mian’s voice was soft like a breeze.

Under his jet-black eyes, the ice-blue glitter was like the cold light of a sharp sheathed knife.

“Go to hell.”

Berg: “…”

Berg took a step back, then another, bumping into his equally surprised brother behind him.

“Big brother!”

On the other side of the crowd, several people suddenly came out, pointing their spears directly at Ji Mian.

“He’s the one who injured us that day!”

“Big brother, don’t let him get away with it!”

Ji Mian’s gaze swept casually.

The first thing you need to do is to understand well what you are dealing with.

They hadn’t recovered from their old wounds, and were just shouting arrogantly, but now when they met Ji Mian’s cold blue eyes, they coincidentally retreated in silence.

“…”

For a time, no one dared to speak again.

Chu Shiye didn’t care about the movements of the outside world, but lowered his head and watched Ji Mian grab his hand.

Ji Mian felt his gaze. Oh, this Alpha doesn’t seem to like physical contact with others.

So, he let go of his hand.

Chu Shiye: “…”

He looked up with an unchanged face.

None of Berg’s people dared to move, and Chu Shiye said: “Victory has been divided, remember to fulfill your promise.”

Berg: “…I know, I’m not one to break my promise!”

He said again, clenching his teeth: “Thirty years in the eastern river, thirty years—”

Chu Shiye turned around and left.

Berg: “…”

“Big brother, are we really going to let Chu Shiye leave?”

The back of the front gradually moved away, Berg beside his sister said: “Although he is very strong, but so many of us—”

Berg: “Shut up!”

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, still pounding.

Just now, if there were no handsome but unknown youths around, perhaps he would have completely ripped off his face and let his people attack Chu Shiye.

But—

Burger clenched his fists and thought hatefully in his heart.

Wait.

Don’t bully that young man!

Upon exiting the alley, Kane immediately ran away.

“So terrible! Next time I’ll never come! You guys don’t look for me either!”

Ji Mian didn’t say a word, his eyes slightly closed for a moment. When he regained consciousness, Chu Shiye was already squatting in front of him.

Ji Mian: “??”

“Come up,” Chu Shiye said, “I’ll carry you back.”

Ji Mian was silent for a moment, the corners of his eyes curling up slightly. “Thank you.”

The use of spiritual power was an expected situation, just that, his physical condition was difficult to support him to travel home.

Chu Shiye carried Ji Mian, this person was still as light as imagined. He thought to himself: Perhaps it still needs to be fed a little more.

Then he turned his head: “How did Kane bring you here?”

Ji Mian: “I hired him, of course, on credit.”

Right now, he didn’t have much money.

Although there were still gemstone cufflinks that Chu Shiye wanted to sell, but the money was not easy to come by in a short period of time. Even if the money arrived, he planned to give most of it to Chu Shiye as a thank-you gift.

The foreign merchant ship still had three months to arrive, in the meantime, whether to leave or stay here, he had to consider finding a job.

Chu Shiye walked very smoothly, Ji Mian closed his eyes to rest, the uncomfortable dizziness faded a few points, but instead there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity appeared.

When he was a child, there were also hands that placed him on his back, carefully providing a coat to keep his warm.

It was a pair of male hands.

It was his father.

Ji Mian opened his eyes, and the bottom of his ink eyes felt cold.

His gaze was directed at Chu Shiye in front of him, as if to dispel unpleasant memories, he took the initiative to look for a topic.

“I already sneaked out, you won’t blame me, right?”

Chu Shiye: “No.” Then he said: “I have to thank you for what happened today.”

Ji Mian: “If that kind of thing should also be thanked, then I should now thank you again.”

Chu Shiye froze slightly, smiled and shook his head.

He said, “Why are your eyes glowing blue?”

Ji Mian: “That is the manifestation of my spiritual power.”

The threshold of the attack power was too high, and thus the manifestation occurred. But few people know about this kind of thing, because not many people have the ability to manifest their attack power.

He was once at least S-Class, even if he fell to B-Class, his attack power threshold was much higher than that of an ordinary B-Class.

Chu Shiye: “So that’s how it is.”

Su Lan was indeed very strong.

He had seen the strongest people on the planet, and never had such visions when they released their spiritual power.

Ji Mian saw Chu Shiye pondering, patting his shoulder lightly. “Is this going to be weird?”

“No,” Chu Shiye immediately shook his head and said seriously, “I think it’s beautiful.”

Su Lan’s eyes were already beautiful, ink-colored and dull, like flawless jade.

When the jade bloomed with cold blue luster, it was like starlight falling in the night sky.

Chu Shiye thought about it, “Your spiritual body should also be beautiful.”

Ji Mian: “That’s so.”

Then he smiled lightly: “I almost forgot what it looks like.”

Chu Shiye’s heels paused for a moment.

…ah.

His words were wrong.

Su Lan, like him, was unable to summon the spiritual body.

Although he didn’t know why, he could guess that Su Lan had a past that he didn’t want to talk about.

Chu Shiye was silent for a few seconds and spoke again: “You are still very strong now, even if those people have spiritual bodies, they are not as strong as you.”

Ji Mian: “Well, now is the beginning of commercial mutual praise?”

He said: “I think you are also very strong, just now the fight is beautiful. Moreover, you defeated a C-Class attack ability without spiritual power.”

“Among the people I know, there are only two people who can do it.” Ji Mian recalled a little. “One of them is you.”

Chu Shiye: Who’s the other one? Su Lan’s friend?

However, he did not ask this question.

“That kind of fighting skill is not like something ordinary people can master.” Ji Mian said: “It looks like you have a very good teacher, and you are a very good student.”

He said with a slight smile. “So, any chance of meeting your teacher?”

Chu Shiye was silent for a few seconds, his voice lowered: “He, is the one who once adopted me.”

Ji Mian suddenly felt that this tone was not right.

As expected, the next second, he heard Chu Shiye say: “A few years ago, he passed away.”

Ji Mian: …ah.

He said the wrong thing.

Two unusually silent people for a while.

Decided that it was better for both of them not to talk.
