She blinked, looking confused.
"Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing."
She couldn't say he was cute; Yi Chichi was worried he might get embarrassed and angry, then jump into the sea to cool off.
Reaching for a piece of candy, she smiled and said, "One for each of us."
"You can have them all, I don't like candy."
"My aunt told me you're addicted to sweets!"
Wen Shi thought, ...My dear mother is determined to hold me back, always sharing everything with Chichi.
Doesn't he care about his reputation?
"I-I'm not as extreme as my mother says."
Feeling aggrieved, Yi Chichi smiled and took the leftover piece of candy too.
"Alright, I'll eat them myself."
Wen Shi was satisfied, showing a big toothy grin, "There'll be a high tide in the morning, want to go catch the sea?"
"Do you have time?"
"No, but I can find someone to go with you."
He had taken time off today to welcome Yi Chichi's arrival. He swapped shifts with his partner, who went to sea while he stayed back at the base.
