Lin Jiage was too choked up to speak for a long while before he managed to squeeze out some words: âThat belongs to Liang Jiusi, itâs not mineâ¦â
Thinking back, it seemed like he had never explained himself so meekly to others before⦠But the main point was that he was speaking the truth, so why did he feel so unconfident?
Lin Jiage tried to keep himself composed before continuing, â⦠Just a few days ago, he came to my house and brought that over, and then forgot to take it with him when he left.â
The red-faced Shi Yao replied with an âMmâ before falling silent. She had no idea what to say in a situation like this.
And to Lin Jiage, Shi Yaoâs response sounded like she didnât believe his words.
This left him feeling even less confident. While âgreetingâ the eighteen generations of Liang Jiusiâs ancestors, he turned to Shi Yao and explained himself, âIâm not interested in that woman in the manga.â
As soon as he said those words, Lin Jiage immediately regretted it. If he could, he would have severed his tongue right there and then.
What kind of explanation was that? Iâm only sinking deeper into the swampâ¦
By saying that Iâm not interested in that manga woman, isnât that basically telling her that Iâve read it before?
But Iâve never read it before! These past two days, Iâve dug a pit for Han Jing, Shi Yao, Grandfather, the driver, and all of the housekeepers in the old residence. Did I dig so many pits that Iâm going to end up falling into one myself?
Lin Jiageâs head swiftly churned into action as he anxiously tried to correct himself, âNo, thatâs not what I meant. What I meant is that I donât like womenâ¦â
Pui!
By saying that I donât like women, isnât that just saying that I like men?
Is there anyone else who would sully his own name like this?
Without any hesitation, Lin Jiage hurriedly pointed to the bare-breasted woman on the manga cover and said, âT-thatâs not what I meant. Itâs not that⦠I donât like women⦠What I mean is that I donât likeâ¦â
Before he could say âthe woman in the mangaâ, Lin Jiage suddenly felt stupefied.
How did he end up looping back to the same topic while trying to explain himself?
The heck! Where did his usual intelligence go to? Did a dog eat it?
And more importantly, not only did his intelligence vanish, even his head seemed to have stopped functioning altogether. He actually found himself at a loss on how to explain himselfâ¦
Just as Lin Jiage was panicking, Shi Yao suddenly spoke up, âActually⦠I understandâ¦â
Understand?
She actually understands that jumbled explanation I just made?
Lin Jiage suddenly felt his agitated mind calming down a little.
He was just about to say âItâs good that you understandâ when the red-faced Shi Yao suddenly continued with a soft voice, â⦠I-Isnât it normal for men like you to like looking at s-such things?â
In the end, it turned out that she didnât understand a single word that he just said!
Out of a moment of agitation, these words blurted out of Lin Jiageâs mouth: âI am not a man!â
Screw that, Iâm just making things worse!
Liang Jiusi, youâre dead meat #%@ï¿¥#%[email protected]*#$%%â¦!
As he stared at Shi Yao, who was clearly trying to smother her laughter, Lin Jiage cursed Liang Jiusi furiously. He tried to explain once more, âNo, what Iâm trying to say is that Iâm different from normal menâ¦â
Heck, did I just imply that Iâm abnormal?
How in the world am I going to explain this?
The exasperated Lin Jiage finally gave up. He decisively stood up, walked over to Shi Yao, grabbed the magazine, and furiously ripped it into pieces before dumping them into the trash can.
Before he turned around to leave the room, he paused in contemplation for a moment, and unwilling to leave his reputation in shambles, he turned to Shi Yao and said, âAll in all, that book isnât mine and Iâm not interested in women!â
