Jian Rui's voice followed him, sharp and commanding. "Ah-Ci, give us a moment."
Jian Ci froze, his shoulders stiff. He didn't want to. He didn't trust Jian Rui being alone with Yu Xi especially not after what had just happened. "So you can beat him up again? No."
Jian Rui gritted his teeth, his aura simmering. "Do you really believe I would do that?"
Jian Ci retorted back, his glare unwavering. "You did it just now, so what can stop you now?"
The tension thickened until Yu Xi intervened, his voice calm but firm. "Ci, wait for me outside."
Jian Ci hesitated, then sighed. "Fine. Call me if he starts another fight."
As he moved toward the door, Jian Rui asked suddenly, "Have you finished today's training?"
Jian Ci stopped, his silence heavy. "…How can I finish when you're out here throwing tantrums?"
Jian Rui was speechless, his thoughts bitter. Who am I doing this for, you idiot?
