Extra 2 - Oh, he's never gotten angry (2)
Yue Xia didn't go straight to Shi Yunjian. Instead, she called Jiang Shuyao, who was abroad on a business trip.
It didn't take long for Jiang Shuyao to accept Yue Xia's video call. It was night time where she was, but she was still dressed for work and was in the middle of working on something.
When she heard Yue Xia's question, she was very puzzled. "So, you want to know why Shi Yunjian doesn't get angry?"
"Yeah." Yue Xia rested her chin on her hand and astutely remarked, "You never seem to get angry either."
Jiang Shuyao smiled. "Do I have a good temper?"
Yue Xia didn't even need to think. "Of course!" If Shuyao didn't have a good temper, then no one in the world had a good temper.
Jiang Shuyao put down her pen and focused on analyzing for her. "In fact, every person has something that will make them angry. Sometimes, something won't make him angry, but he still minds."
Yue Xia blinked. These words were too abstract for her, so she gave an example. "I broke your tool, and it can't be fixed."
Jiang Shuyao: "That's okay."
Yue Xia: "I might not be able to pick you up from the airport when you come back."
Jiang Shuyao: "Come if you're free. If you're busy, it's okay to not come."
Yue Xia: "I missed Auntie's message yesterday and made her worry."
Jiang Shuyao: "Just explain what happened. My mom will understand. Don't worry about it."
Yue Xia: "I made a lot of new friends recently. They're all very cute girls."
"... That's good." Jiang Shuyao's smile slowly changed on the screen. "Who are they?"
Yue Xia: "..." Angry. Shuyao definitely got angry!
After she carefully explained, she saw Shuyao's smile return to its usual arc. She finally grasped the key point and began to reflect if she had been too excessive.

However, when she asked Shi Yunjian, his answer was -
"Why would I get angry?" He blinked. His expression was the same as usual. At most, he looked a bit puzzled. "There's nothing worth getting angry over."
For him, getting angry was irrational behavior. Any mature person wouldn't easily get angry.
Today happened to be Valentine's Day. It was rare for Yue Xia to treat this day with a sense of ritual. She originally wanted to go out to have fun, but when she saw the swarm of couples outside, she decided to stay at home.
Li Meizhu saw Shi Yunjian and greeted him somewhat unfamiliarly, "Ah, Little Shi, you came."
Sure enough, she still felt a bit off kilter. She could accept her daughter dating, but why was her daughter's boyfriend Shi Yunjian? It felt too magical. Even now, she couldn't quite believe it…
Shi Yunjian nodded and offered up the gifts he brought. "Auntie, Uncle."
With crossed arms, Yue Qing indifferently said, "No need to call Big Brother. We're the same generation after all…"
Shi Yunjian's gaze shifted to Yue Qing. After a pause, he nodded. "Hello."
Yue Qing: "?"
"Don't block the door." Yue Xia used her head to push him away. She was holding a bunch of newly bought game cartridges and was in a hurry to go upstairs. "Dad, Mom, I'm going upstairs~"
Yue Deliang: "Mhm."
Li Meizhu: "Mom will bring up fruit later!"
Shi Yunjian walked around Yue Qing, indifferently nodded at him, and followed Yue Xia upstairs.
Li Meizhu slowly remarked, "It feels like she's keeping an ice-type pet sprite, and it's the kind that auto-follows."
Yue Deliang: "Which family has a sprite that's 1.9 meters tall?"
Li Meizhu: "..." Let's stop talking.

Shi Yunjian closed the door on his way in. Yue Xia was already inserting the game cartridge in high spirits. "Come here! Come here!"
The corners of his lips slightly curved. He walked over to Yue Xia's side.
Yue Xia had been running around with too many layers in the afternoon and got sweaty. She had taken a shower before coming home and changed into comfortable clothing as soon as she entered her room. The wet ends of her hair felt itchy against her neck.
Shi Yunjian lowered his eyes and gently pushed her hair aside. He could smell Yue Xia's shampoo, a minty scent.
Although he was just sitting by her side, he still felt very happy watching Yue Xia focus on the game controller.
Two hours later, he no longer felt this way.
He quietly sat next to her. Today was Valentine's Day. Before coming to meet Yue Xia, he had carefully changed into new clothes before coming to meet her and checked himself over.
However, Yue Xia's attention was always on her games. She didn't even spare him a few extra looks.
She didn't notice that he was wearing new clothes either.
Shi Yunjian pursed his lips to try to catch her attention. He silently looked at Yue Xia.
She had no idea he was looking at her.
Shi Yunjian quietly coughed.
His cough was covered up by the game's sound effects.
Shi Yunjian stretched his hand out and tugged on Yue Xia's hem.
Yue Xia was completely unaware.
Shi Yunjian: "..."
He felt a rare hint of bitterness. However, seeing Yue Xia's happy appearance, he didn't want to bother her. He quietly thought.
Mhm. Alright, keep playing.
Those old-time games were more important than him. Pokémon was more important than him. Mario was more important than him. Anyways, games were more important than him.
Yue Xia didn't have the system's convenient reminders and was almost completely immersed in the game. Perhaps, it was instinct that told her something was wrong.
