"Of course! My eyes are very sharp when it comes to people."
Little Jiu squeezed the hand he had just held with a complicated look in her eyes, then looked at his back, muttering, "Aren't you afraid of misjudging me?"
May 1st laughed dismissively, casually saying, "Really? Then tell me, what's wrong with you?"
As they talked, the two entered May 1st's courtyard, and Little Jiu watched him wave away the military dogs that approached, biting her lip and gazing intently at a spot.
Seeing this, May 1st shook his head speechlessly, grabbed her hand, and led her to the study, "Lost in thought again? You may be absent-minded here in the country, but not abroad. Are you worried about money? Don't worry, I'll find a way to make sure you complete your studies smoothly."
Little Jiu followed his lead, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and hesitantly looked at his tall figure.
Perhaps she really could learn to trust him.
