It had to be a smile.
He clearly wasn't used to doing it. His face muscles didn't seem to know how to move properly.
The smile was stiff, crooked, unnatural.
But still, it had to be a smile. Probably.
If you never use your muscles, they would get stiff.
You even forget how to use them.
The captain must have been using those smile muscles for the first time.
Yeah. It's important to smile at yourself in the mirror every morning. Really. It's healthy.
Look—he's leaning in to look at Shiao Yi's face and giving him this stretched-out grin.
C-Captain, please. That's not it. That's not a smile. That's a villain face!
It's the kind of grin someone makes when they're scheming something shady!
And because his face is actually good-looking, it's way more terrifying!
And Shiao Yi... Shiao Yi didn't look too happy either.
Can't really blame him.
He was still stuck on the captain's lap, his arms were held tightly, not allowed to get down.
