Extra 1 - Oh, he's never gotten angry (1)
Ever since Shi Yunjian came to Yue Xia's home in the first month of the lunar year and made a fool of himself, he had been in a melancholy state.
Whenever Yue Xia thought of that memory of him laying out certificates of his assets on the table like they were playing cards, she would laugh. "Why didn't you tell me?"
His action had startled Li Meizhu. She mistakenly thought his relationship with her daughter had progressed to the point of talking about marriage.
In reality, they hadn't even shared a real kiss. The furthest they had gone was peck on the corner of the other person's lip.
"I thought…" Shi Yunjian slightly furrowed his brow and expressionlessly said, "I thought meeting your parents on the first month of the lunar year means… that."
Yue Xia: "What do you mean?"
Shi Yunjian: "... just that meaning."
Yue Xia: "If you beat around the bush, how can I understand?"
She forcibly turned Shi Yunjian's face so that he was looking at her and domineeringly said, "Look at me."
Shi Yunjian knew that she was pretending to not understand, but he wouldn't feel good about calling her out on it. In the end, he pursed his lips and quietly said, "So I'm the only one that thought…"
Yue Xia saw his calm but wronged appearance and couldn't back her laughter.
"How long has it been?" Yue Xia thought he was thinking far enough. "And you're already thinking about that. Isn't that too fast?"
Shi Yunjian furrowed his brow and seriously refuted, "It's been a long time."
Yue Xia: "How long is a long time?"
Shi Yunjian's gaze froze. After a while, he unwillingly said, "Two months."
Seeing his unwillingness to tell the truth, Yue Xia fell back onto the sofa in laughter.
Shi Yunjian: "..."
He didn't know why, but he just felt that it had been long enough.
The sofa was very big and had a pale yellow color. Lying on the soft sofa, Yue Xia felt like she was lounging on a cloud.
A while ago, the Shi's home had been auctioned off due to bankruptcy, so Shi Yunjian finally moved out and moved into the house next door to the Yue's.
Yue Xia had asked him why he continued to live in that place when he didn't have feelings for it. Shi Yunjian gave her a very Shi Yunjian's answer.
"There was no need to increase expenditures when I had a place to live," he expressionlessly replied. "Money can't be spent carelessly."
It was Yue Xia's first time hearing him mention money. "What are you saving it for?"
Shi Yunjian: "Saving it for you."
Yue Xia: "I'm not lacking in money."
Shi Yunjian's expression didn't change. "But I need to have money."
Yue Xia: "..."
He was really an oddball sometimes. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but his simple and rough way of thinking reminded her of 233, her system, who had gone on vacation.
(T/N: 233 is Chinese slang for lol.)
Speaking of 233, it had come back once to tell her that although its performance bonus had been deducted, the head system sympathized that it was new at the job, so it had been compensated for its hard work. It was off enjoying a luxurious digital freedom. It was spending its vacation lying on the beach every day. She didn't have to worry. It hadn't been punished.
Although Yue Xia was happy for 233, she kept picturing the zany image of a computer case lying on a beach chair with an undulating wave made of 0s and 1s in the distance.
During these two months, she also discovered something else, which was that Shi Yunjian never seemed to get angry, from a conversation with Luo Ze and Wang Shiya.
(T/N: Luo Ze is the red rose.)
That wasn't quite right. It would be more accurate to say that he didn't know how to get angry. Every time something happened, he wouldn't directly say anything. Instead, he would silently accept it. Yue Xia had no idea until Luo Ze couldn't stand it anymore.
"You haven't eaten with him for a week." Luo Ze was twisting bun rolls. In front of Yue Xia, she had tossed away her baggage. Her face was bare of makeup, and her nose was raised, looking especially small. "Did he not say anything to you?"
Yue Xia felt baffled by her question. "No."
Wang Shiya felt something was wrong. "Does he never have a temper?"
Yue Xia shook her head. "Nope."
Of course, it didn't mean anything that he didn't get angry that she didn't spend more time with him. It was just that the first two months in a relationship should be the most ardent period. It was only natural to want to spend more time with her.
However, Yue Xia was still running wild by herself and often couldn't easily be found. It was bizarre that Shi Yunjian didn't have opinions about this.
… He clearly gave off the impression that he wasn't an easygoing person.
After her friends said all this, Yue Xia fell into deep thought for a moment and suddenly realized the truth. "... Oh, he's never gotten angry."
The only time he was unhappy in front of her was when she didn't respond after a kiss when she was drunk. However, it felt like he just wanted her to coax him and wasn't actually angry.
Luo Ze furrowed her brow. "Not even once?"
Wang Shiya repeated, "Not even once?"
Yue Xia firmly answered, "No, never."
Luo Ze: "Even when you're playing games all day and can't be reached?"
Yue Xia: "Mhm."
Wang Shiya: "Even when you make us worry by going off somewhere without letting anyone know?"
Yue Xia: "Mhm."
Luo Ze: "Even though you always have to be urged to work? How you won't work when someone is asking nicely?"
"Mhm… why did this suddenly turn into criticizing me?!" Yue Xia astutely realized something was wrong and ran away before they could scold her. "I'll go ask him."
