Chapter 975: Chapter 980 I Know What You’re Going to Say
Having finished discussing that matter,
Yin Kuo didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.
Su Tang asked very amiably, "Is there anything else you don’t understand? You can ask me anything."
Yin Kuo hesitated for a moment, looking at Su Tang with swirling lights in his gray-gold eyes, his expression complex.
"I, the way I treated you before, and yet you still help us so much, aren’t you angry?"
Su Tang: "Hey~ happiness lies in contentment, you know? I was actually quite frustrated at first, but thinking on the bright side, if you hadn’t taken me in at that time, I probably would have had a really tough time. So, one must learn to be grateful. I am grateful for the help you’ve given me, so I won’t be angry."
"Grateful..." Yin Kuo mulled over these two words, "You’re right, one must learn to be grateful."
Su Tang smiled and said nothing.
Then the room suddenly fell quiet again, filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Su Tang kept up a dry smile, her face nearly stiffening, as she hesitated whether to stand up and see the guest out, when Yin Kuo suddenly spoke again.
"Actually, there’s one more thing..."
Su Tang immediately perked up, her expression bright and smiley as she looked at Yin Kuo.
Being stared at so intently, even the usually cold-faced Yin Kuo couldn’t help but blush.
From his halting speech and evasive eyes—
A sinking feeling hit Su Tang.
She seemed to have guessed what Yin Kuo was about to say.
But Su Tang wasn’t the least bit flustered.
Because, according to her over a decade of experience watching television on Blue Star, in such situations, there was always someone who’d come along to interrupt!
So Su Tang stood tall, calm and collected as she faced Yin Kuo, "What is it? Go ahead and tell me."
"Actually, I, I..."
Yin Kuo’s face turned an unspeakable shade of red, yet he couldn’t get the words out.
Su Tang waited, left and right, but no one came to interrupt.
She sighed in resignation; indeed, those TV shows were all deceiving.
Su Tang’s expression turned slightly serious as she looked straight at Yin Kuo, "I know what you want to say, but it’s impossible between us. I love my partner very much, and I will only love him in the future. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Yin Kuo was taken aback, his face showing an unmistakably surprised expression. He seemed somewhat amused, "Actually, I..."
Su Tang didn’t wait for him to finish and continued, "But don’t be too sad, there are many beautiful single females in the Valley. You’re still young, and you’re bound to meet the right one."
While saying this, she even patted Yin Kuo’s shoulder encouragingly.
Yin Kuo struggled to suppress a smile, coughed awkwardly twice, "Well, I think you misunderstood. Actually, I wanted to say that the underwear... the ones your people gave me, they’re a bit small. I was hoping to get two larger ones, but I didn’t know who to ask."
Su Tang: "..."(͡ಠʖ̯͡ಠ)
Just, how outrageous is this!
What on earth did she just say? Oh no, can she still take it back?
Under the wide sweep of her skirt, Su Tang’s toes clutched at the ground, seemingly ready to carve out a three-bedroom, two-living room set.
Yin Kuo also noticed that the atmosphere had become a bit peculiar. He touched his nose, "So, um, maybe I’ll just ask the other Beastmen. I’ll just, leave then?"
Su Tang: "..."
You’re leaving just like that; why do you need to ask me?
Is my couch grabbing you, not letting you go or is my floor glued to your feet?
Seeing that Su Tang still had no reaction, Yin Kuo tentatively stood up, planning to walk towards the door.
Just at that moment—
"Roar—!"
A loud roar echoed through the Valley.
