"I'm not going. I'm not interested..."
I glanced at Xu Lin. The girl immediately looked at me with an aggrieved expression, her big eyes darting around in their sockets. It was obvious she was putting it on.
"Waaah... After what I went through, you're still treating me like this... That's just too much... Waaah..."
What was she even talking about?!
My eyebrow twitched.
"I..."
I was just about to say something when, suddenly, Uncle Zhou's astonished voice came from outside the front door.
"You... You two are actually in that kind of relationship?"
Wait!
"Uncle Zhou... We're not..."
"Uncle Zhou, waaah, please tell us who's in the right~ Buyu, she... Buyu, she..."
Xu Lin's eyes darted around as her mind raced, as if she were trying to make up a story. Outside the door, Uncle Zhou looked at Xu Lin with a deeply pained expression.
As for my expression... Well, "utterly hopeless" was no exaggeration.
"Buyu... What did she do to you?"
Uncle Zhou stared at Xu Lin for a long while. Sometimes the girl was pretty quick-witted, but other times she just froze up. It seemed she'd picked the latter moment to do so.
Well, looks like Heaven was giving me a chance to explain.
"Uncle Zhou, listen to me..."
I was just about to speak when Xu Lin said something that sent a shiver down my spine.
"I-I can't say it~ Waaah~"
Uncle Zhou's face immediately took on an expression that said, "How could you do something like this? Society's gone to the dogs and people's hearts have grown cold. Even if there are no men around, that doesn't mean you can prey on women! Even if you like her, you can't force yourself on her!!"
...I had no idea how the hell I could read all that
