558 What An Amazing Crackpot! (1/2)
Yun Yang stood up awkwardly. ”Huh… No more… Ah… Why?”
Ji Lingxi was giving off ice cold vibes along with her barely controlled fury. She gritted her teeth and said, ”If there's nothing else, please go back and rest. It's late now and you're in my room. It's not proper for a single man and lady to be together!”
Yun Yang laughed, completely oblivious to the situation. ”I'm in a room with my younger sister, what can possibly be…”
Ji Lingxi finally broke down, crying out, ”I'm saying I want to rest now. Are you going out or not!?”
She clenched her jaw, her face was purple with rage while fire threatened to shoot out from her eyes.
Yun Yang was shocked. Recalling everything he had said since he entered the room, he grew more confused, thinking to himself, ”I didn't offend her… What I said wasn't particularly offensive either… I talked following her cue…”
”What's happening?”
”Why does she just flip like that? You can just tell me that you want to rest nicely, but why must you lash out like this?”
Yun Yang looked utterly stumped, his eyes unfocused in bewilderment. Until he stepped out of the door, he still tried his best by turning around and saying, ”Uh, Lingxi, rest well then. If you have anything, remember to tell your brother – uh, Yun Yang, me…”
A certain someone obviously did not know which word or title to use and had directly used 'Yun Yang, me'… Ah, the intelligence quotient of this person was embarrassing to even think about sometimes.
Bam!
The sudden noise accompanied the violent slam of door right in front of Yun Yang's face, almost squishing his nose between the gap.
Ji Lingxi leaned back against the door, slowly sliding down to a sitting position on the floor; her hands flew to her face as she sighed softly. One hand punched the floor as she murmured, ”How can such man exist in this world… what a…”
”Didn't they say all men are lustful? Why is there such a contrary specimen here before me… What a crackpot…”
”It would be an insult to all logs if I were to call him one!”
Recalling the moment when Yun Yang asked her to think of a title, going from elder brother to younger brother to even a log or a dummy, a chuckle escaped Ji Lingxi before she groaned in exasperation, ”What a log! A dummy! Idiot! Ah…”
Her train of thought then moved to her current situation. Her mood saddened then as she wallowed in self-pity. When Sister Lan was here, Ji Lingxi would feel rather embarrassed whenever she heard the former mention about her crush in front of Yun Yang and often stopped Sister Lan from doing so; it was only now that she knew things would never work with this dummy without a good matchmaker by her side.
”What to call you? You're asking me what to call you?”
”I've already stated it so clearly. I don't want to call you elder brother nor do I want to call you my younger brother. As long as one is a man, shouldn't he be able to understand it?”
”Could I, a lady, tell you frankly face to face that I want to become your wife? Call you… hmph!”
”Just like that?”
Yet the man she met was an insensible log who understood nothing. What else could she have done?
If Yun Yang was pretending and was not actually that dense, then she would have probably thought that Yun Yang had no feelings for her. But Ji Lingxi knew very well that Yun Yang was not pretending; otherwise, how could he have acted the way he just did!
How could one communicate with someone like this?”
”Crackpot!” Ji Lingxi covered her face and just sighed, at a loss for further words.
