[ Huaisang once knew someone who smiled a lot. He smiled most of the time, but it meant that the different smiles he had contained different meanings, and were indicative different moods that people were at times incapable of deciphering because they didn't want to or didn't care.
After getting to know that person, looking more into the expression on other people's faces was second nature. But he didn't need to think hard to conclude that it was one that was borne of displeasure.
The other man will come in after he's allowed, however.
Once he was, he'll pull up his fan, looking a little thoughtful as he spoke. ]
I guess...maybe about what had happened. Not in intimate detail, or hardly any at all. And, I was a little worried—I-I know we don't know each other all that well...b-but, I thought for a short amount of time it might be nice, having company with someone who didn't think you did something.
Last week...when I—when things were difficult and we still got the right answer, I didn't want to be alone. That's why I came here.
That said, we also don't have to talk much about it, we can even talk about something else if you want...distractions can be nice, after all.
