This was definitely not a scene Xue Jian had expected.
Just moments ago, he had been sneering to himself, waiting to see how Lin Li would grovel before him next.
He had thought they would beg for mercy and try to butter him up.
But instead, the kid skipped that step entirely. Without saying a word, he obediently began punishing himself, the very picture of honest simplicity.
There was a certain beauty to an honest man going all out.
And when Bai Bufan followed along too, looking completely wilted, the scene became even harder to hold in.
Honestly, if laughing right now would not play into Lin Li's hands and completely ruin his own imposing aura, then the stairwell would have been echoing with more than just frog-jumping sounds.
After forcing down the corner of his mouth, Xue Jian sneered again.
Heh heh, so you two decided to punish yourselves?
Then let me see your attitude.
Xue Jian suspected that Lin Li was retreating in order to advance, trying to soften his heart by showing such sincere remorse.
But he was overthinking it.
Toward him and Bai Bufan, Xue Jian's heart had already become as icy and cutting as Lin Li's after ten years of slaughtering at RT-Mart.
As expected, what these two were hoping for right now was probably for him to gently say something like, "Enough."
But he refused to.
Xue Jian had already made up his mind. He would not say a single word. He would simply stand there and watch Lin Li and Bai Bufan keep frog-jumping. In the end, they would be the ones unable to hold out, not him. Just imagining their exhausted and helpless expressions later filled him with anticipation.
At that thought, the corner of Xue Jian's mouth nearly curled upward again.
