Making Choices (2)

Who did this guy think he was?

Yuan Gen's thoughts were evident in his scrunched up expression—because this Li Yang guy was being impudent right now. 

That look on his face was blank and his tone was quiet… but there was an edge to it.

Forgoing formalities?

That was the most polite threat that Yuan Gen received, but it somehow felt more dangerous than those who told him that they would bash his skull into rocks. Whenever you upset quiet people, they somehow appeared more intimidating than the loud ones.

It was one of those moments where you couldn't help but wonder if you fucked up.

Still, Yuan Gen held his ground with this guy. If he couldn't have balls and courage in his own shop—then where would his pride ever be? He managed a small laugh, a friendly one and hopefully not exactly grating, as he then settled into giving this Li Yang a smile.
