Chapter 77: A Special Way of Confessing (1/2)
At the moment, Xiao Yu yearned to wash his face and cool off just as Yan Jin had before.
But after giving it more thought, he decided it would be better not to.
After all, Yan Jin seemed to have gone crazy when he came back after washing his face and Xiao Yu did not want to risk having the same reaction.
And all this about his confession. What confession? When had he ever confessed?
Even if he wanted to confess to Yan Jin, he would have waited until he regained his human form first…
Hold on, even if he was human, he still would not confess to Yan Jin. Yan Jin was his worst enemy!
Ok fine, so maybe Yan Jin was not his worst enemy, but he was still an enemy…
Xiao Yu’s thoughts were messier than his knotted up fur.
The only thing he was sure of was ——
No matter what had happened, there was no way he could possibly confess to Yan Jin, okay?
Lost in his complicated thoughts, Xiao Yu carelessly ruined his image as a mysterious and cold designer.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Yan Jin, please stop joking! When did I ever confess to you?
Luckily, Yan Jin’s thoughts were also a mess and he did not notice anything wrong with Xiao Yu’s response.
[Grey-white SS]: Are you not a man of your word?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Only of words that I’ve actually spoken!
[Grey-white SS]: What if I can prove it?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Hah, show me the proof, then we’ll talk.
[Grey-white SS]: Give me a sec.
Xiao Yu tensely waited for five whole minutes before receiving an image.
This was not another old design of his, right?
Yan Jin’s ability to dig up stuff from his past was a bit scary. Xiao Yu tried to remember if he had ever designed anything strange enough to be considered a confession as he apprehensively clicked on the image.
Xiao Yu was expecting a photo. Instead, it was a screenshot.
……
[Grey-white SS]: Why did you choose YL? There are several other design companies in the circle that are way better than YL.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: You promise that’s your only question?
[Grey-white SS]: That’s the question that I want to know the answer to the most.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Okay, since you’re asking so sincerely, I shall answer you truthfully.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Actually, I’m a Philocalist who only serves the beauties of the prosperous era.
[Grey-white SS]: So, you’re referring to, hmm, which person in our company? I could arrange an introduction for you.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Chairman Yan, you’re too humble. Is there anyone else that would fit the description of the ‘Beauty of the Prosperous Era’ better than you?
[Grey-white SS]: You’re a woman?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: 100% Male.
[Grey-white SS]: ……
[Grey-white SS]: I’ll make arrangements for the guarantor – I won’t let you be at a disadvantage. As for the other matter… If you can successfully get into the top three for the original design competition, I will consider it.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Alright. Thank you, Chairman Yan.
……
Even after Xiao Yu finished reading the screenshot, he still had no idea what Yan Jin meant.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Uh, isn’t that from a conversation we had earlier?
[Grey-white SS]: Obviously.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: And what does it prove?
[Grey-white SS]: I said that I would consider it. Since you were able to obtain top three with your own strength, I will uphold my end of the bargain.
Xiao Yu read through Yan Jin’s response several times before going back to the screenshot and reading the content again.
After studying it for five minutes, he finally understood where Yan Jin was coming from.
Fuck.
His words really could be interpreted that way.
At the time when Yan Jin asked him why he chose YL, he had just randomly made up a reason. Well, maybe his reason was something of an inside joke. At SI’s design department, many knew Chairman Yan as a ‘Beauty of the Prosperous Era’.
Who knew Yan Jin would think he was serious?
Little did he know that not only would Yan Jin think he was serious, but that Yan Jin even thought that the reason Xiao Yu chose YL was because he was interested in him!?
Cold sweat trickled down Xiao Yu’s back.
If he had known that Yan Jin’s reasoning ability would be that extreme, he would not have made such careless remarks.
But now that his words led to this tragedy, he had better give Yan Jin a proper explanation.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Chairman Yan, it’s all a misunderstanding.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: I-I was only joking. The real reason I chose to work with YL was because of your wisdom and competence. It has always been my dream to work under such a talented boss.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Naturally, I greatly revere you, b-b-but not in the romantic sense…
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: It’s my fault, I really shouldn’t have made that kind of joke.
Xiao Yu racked his brain trying to explain, sending out this pile of drivel. He almost did not dare to look at Yan Jin’s response.
[Grey-white SS]: That’s to say, you didn’t mean that as a confession?
Seeing that Yan Jin seemed to have understood, Xiao Yu let out a big sigh of relief.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: That’s right. I wasn’t confessing to you. It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstandingggg.
[Grey-white SS]: Fine, I’ll consider it a misunderstanding on my part.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Yes, yes.
[Grey-white SS]: Are you single at the moment?
Xiao Yu, who had let down his guard, did not notice anything wrong with that question and answered truthfully.
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Yes I am.
[Grey-white SS]: Then, do you mind having an online relationship?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Huh? With who?
[Grey-white SS]: Me.
Xiao Yu: ……
Damn, didn’t he just put an end to this?
[Fish and Hamster – You Can’t Have Both]: Please let me off Yan Jin. I already apologized.
[Grey-white SS]: I know. I never said that I wouldn’t forgive you.
