"To value you, to care for you, is to have expectations for you and to support you…"
Mu Chen murmured the words, then smiled faintly. "Elder Mad Wolf, I think I get it. But you might be mistaken—Aisriss didn't scold me."
Mad Wolf paused, looking baffled. "Is that so? But you seemed so out of it just now."
Mu Chen rubbed his nose and chuckled. "It's just that I'm exhausted from the long journey from the Central State. I got a little sleepy after parting ways with Aisriss, that's all."
It dawned on Mad Wolf, and he suddenly clapped Mu Chen on the head. "See? I knew it! A young man like you should be full of life. How could you seem more like an old man than I do?"
With that, Mad Wolf seemed to think of something. "By the way, it should be nighttime now, and you probably haven't found a place to sleep. How about my place? It's quiet, warm, and aside from a bit of a smell, it's really comfortable. What do you say? Wanna come?"
