Silly and Intelligent

He walked towards Cyril and asked, "Cyril, please tell me what just happened. I want to know."

Cyril looked at his seriously curious expression and sighed. He placed the papers in his hand aside and looked at him, "Actually, it's nothing. When I saw him, I observed there were many things in his hands. There were all types of items in the bag he was carrying. There is no way all those things could belong to a single person. So, I understood that he was running errands for a few people."

Rian blinked his eyes innocently as if he just found a master. He had not observed the man earlier enough to notice all these details.

But Cyril understood that the man was running errands for a few people just by taking a quick glance at the bag the man was carrying.

"So what if he was running errands?" Rian still did not get the main point.

Cyril sighed when he saw that Rian still did not understand what he was saying, "Just think. Who will run errands for others inside a prison?"

"Who?" Rian asked back.

"In a prison, if a person is running errands, he would belong to one of two categories. The first is someone who was bullied." Cyril raised one finger as he said.

Rian blinked his eyes. He recalled the appearance of the man who had just left. He shook his head subconsciously, "He doesn't look like someone who was being bullied. Am I wrong?" Even though he trusted his instincts, he felt a little doubtful and asked Cyril.

Cyril smiled and shook his head, "No. You aren't wrong. He is not being bullied."

Rian smiled knowing he got it right. Then he spoke, "Then he should belong to the second category. What is the second category?"

Cyril replied, "The second category is shared chores."

"Shared chores?" Rian thought for a second, "You mean he is sharing chores with his roommates?"

Cyril smiled and nodded, "Something like that."

"Something like that? There is something more to it?" Rian understood what he meant and asked.

Cyril nodded again, "Looking at all those materials, he surely belongs to a huge group. A group where everyone shared their part of the chores and helped each other. So, if we connect with one person in such a group, it would mean we are connected with the whole group. Now, do you understand?"

Rian's eyes brightened as he nodded, "Yes, yes. I understand. I understand. You are saying that he belongs to a large group where they get along with each other and share everyone's work to make their lives simpler. Like a club.

"That was why, you gave him the brochure. If he shows the brochure to his teammates, you will get the orders of all the 'club members'. Is that right?"

Cyril nodded, "That's right."

Rian smiled happily as he finally understood what just happened. He saw that Cyril went back to his papers and was looking through them.

After the initial excitement faded away, he slowly realized how formidable the man in front of him actually was.

The man who came to Cyril's stall stayed there for at most two minutes.

It means Cyril had observed that man for less than half a minute before he gave him the brochures and planned everything out.

In a span of a few seconds, he observed the man's bag, the contents in it, the group he belonged to, and the nature of the man's relationship with many other men. 

Once he understood all this, he did not delay a second before he planned the course of action and gave out the prepared brochures to him without letting the man find out his real intentions. He actually made the man ask for the brochures himself.

Rian wasn't just shocked by Cyril's intelligence but by the speed at which his brain worked. It was too terrifying. He felt scared looking at this man. 

He felt that if one day Cyril sold him out, he wouldn't even understand how that happened. He may instead count the money for Cyril on his behalf.

He knows how silly he is and has also just realized how intelligent Cyril is.

Once this thought came to his mind, his thoughts started to change again.

If he did not have the support of the 'intelligent' Cyril, what would happen to him inside this ruthless prison?

After all, he is not smart enough to understand how to live in this world. Before meeting Cyril, he was still crying about his system and the many sports/games it gave him.

Only after meeting Cyril did he relax and start to adapt to this new system slowly.

So, it is good for him to meet Cyril. He understood this fact and his eyes started to fill with water.

"Cyril~" He wrapped his arms around Cyril.

Cyril did not know what got into this silly person again. He froze in his spot as he was suddenly embraced by a man.

In his life, he was embraced by many beauties but never a man. Even if a man tried to approach him, he would definitely maintain his distance.

But he did not know how to deal with this man. For some reason, he couldn't scold this person even if he wanted to.

"Sob, Cyril~" Rian started to rub his head over Cyril's arm as he behaved like a child and whined.

When he heard Rian 'sobbing', Cyril did not know what happened even more.

He frowned as he asked, "What happened? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Weren't you good until now? Who made you cry in a couple of seconds?"

He was sure no one entered their area. So there should be no one who could have made this man cry. This made him even more curious as he did not understand why he was crying at all.

"No one made me cry. I just… I just… Sob! Sob! Sob! Can you promise me something?" Rian sobbed again and suddenly asked confusing Cyril.
