Gong Jie found himself at a loss for an answer to that question.
How did this cunning girl come up with this question?!
He didnât even know how to answer it!
A vivid image immediately came to his mind upon hearing this question.
âHahaha!â The actor, unable to contain himself any longer, burst out laughing.
What an awesome question! A grilling of his soul!
Natalia raised her eyebrows triumphantly and pressed on, âWonât you save me?â
âOf course Iâd be willing toâ¦â
âWould you be willing to give me CPR, then?â
ââ¦â Gong Jie frowned. Heâd always had a severe case of mysophobia, so the image of that alone made him gag.
His face was ashen as he set Natalia down. It was obvious he was already looking sickly.
âYouâre not to ask that question again.â
Natalia listened, confused. âWhy?â
âThatâs not a question a lady should ask.â
Gong Jie frowned as he spoke. âWhere did you get that question from?â
âEmmm⦠not telling you!â Natalia stuck her tongue out playfully at him and ran towards the actor.
Seeing her run towards the actor, Gong Jieâs meaningful gaze fell on him. Naturally, he would think that this person must have put that question in her head!
The actor caught his eye and shuddered. He was compelled to explain himself, but he sensed that any attempt to do so forcefully would only worsen things and make him look guilty.
Butâ¦
He really didnât suggest the damned question!
Hua Jin also tugged on Nataliaâs hand. âWho taught you to ask that question?â he asked sternly.
âDoes it matter who I learned it from? You canât answer it anyway. Which means if I do fall into a cesspit, you wonât save me and give me CPR.â
âI would!â Hua Jin vowed, clenching his fists.
It was Nataliaâs turn to stare at him as if sheâd seen a ghost. Did the man just say he would? Why did she find that so hard to believe?!
âI donât believe it!â
The actor said airily, âYouâre right not to believe it. And I donât believe youâre going to fall into a cesspit either.â
Natalia looked confused. Even though it sounded like a real possibility, it seemed she wouldnât have a chance of actually falling into a cesspit, so the question wasnât really valid. Given this, there was no point discussing if one was willing.
Still, the actorâs answer sounded suspiciously lazy. It was Gong Jieâs turn to feel better. He was, however, impressed by how the actorâs answer had managed to restrain the girl.
Natalia turned immediately to Gong Jie and said, âIn this case, Iâm able to answer your question now.â
âEh?â
âIâll jump into the river to accompany you guys, too. Iâll die for love.â
ââ¦â
Both Gong Jie and Hua Jin were dumbfounded.
What sort of answer was that!
âAnyway, you wonât really fall into the river. Besides, even if you did, I wouldnât be able to drag you ashore. However, even though we were born on different days, Iâm certain weâll all die on the same day.â
The two men were completely stumped.
This answer was indeedâ¦
Too patronizing!
Natalia chortled. âWell, letâs not dwell on this meaningless question. Youâre all important to me. I canât let either of you go.â
