Chapter 48.3: Heh, man!

In fact, after retorting, Bai Duanduan realized that something was wrong, but it was already too late for her to retract the words she had just said. Now she could only pretend that nothing had happened by shaking her chopsticks and trying to save her dignity.

This is really the shortcomings of mouthful eating. She ate the rice of Ji Lin’s family, and then Ji Lin attacked her for being fat, and she couldn’t say anything back ……

As a result, while she was thinking this way, Ji Lin’s voice rang out once again –

“I don’t think it’s bad that you’re fat, just a little bit fat, it looks good.” His mouth was always used to kill and insult people, but now he was obviously not skilled in this new business of complimenting people, so his words were extremely unnatural and dry, but even so, he tried to continue, “You can still be fatter and still look good.”

This was clearly a compliment, but Ji Lin said it as if he was on the verge of an attack. He probably had never complimented anyone so bluntly before, so he had no concept of expression management at all. His face was still tense and his tone was still cold. If Bai Duanduan hadn’t heard exactly what he said, just by looking at his expression she would have thought that he was going to give a verbal beating again with that expression.

He said “you look good” with a “you’re going to die” expression and tone of voice, so much so that Bai Duanduan always felt that after he said she was good, the next line was, “so you’re going to die…”

Unfortunately, Ji Lin didn’t say the next sentence, and when he saw that Bai Duanduan didn’t respond for a long time, he looked a bit annoyed, with a bit of embarrassment and faint uneasiness, as if he was trying to rescue the atmosphere….

“I mean, you’re pretty good looking whether you’re fat or not.”

En ……

Although his expression was still a bit too serious and composed, this sounded quite pleasant ……

In fact, it was not only pleasing to ear, although Bai Duanduan did not show it on her face, but her heart was very happy.

What’s better than getting a compliment from Ji Lin? That’s Ji Lin complimenting herself! Not only did he compliment her! He also emphasized and praised her three times back and forth! It can be seen that she was really good-looking!

It’s just a pity that Ji Lin apparently has absolutely no concept of atmosphere control. While Bai Duanduan’s heart was beaming, Ji Lin quickly changed the subject –

“You haven’t answered my last question.”

The last question ? Huh? What?

Ji Lin was obviously not too happy with Bai Duanduan’s absence of mind, he pursed his lips and repeated, “Is my cooking good, or Lin Hui’s?”

How could he care so much about this question?

Bai Duanduan almost laughed out loud, “Your cooking is good! You cook better than Lin Hui!”

However, with this affirmative answer, Ji Lin was not happy, “Are you trying to please me because you happen to be eating my cooking, so you open your mouth and casually coax me to say that my cooking is delicious, but you don’t really think so.”

“……”

How come she didn’t realize before that this man Ji Lin was actually quite a bit of a jerk? It’s almost like a nonsensical question to your boyfriend about who looks better between yourself and his ex-girlfriend, and then after getting the answer that you look better you still think your boyfriend is faking it to coax you, followed by a classic male/female fight breakup drama ……

Just eating Ji Lin’s meal, Bai Duanduan felt she still had an obligation to appease him, “It’s true that you make it better, Lin Hui’s cooking is just the level of normal can eat, not considered this kind of chef level.”

This time the words finally managed to please Ji Lin, who smiled haughtily, “En, indeed.”

His happiness didn’t last long though, for soon, he frowned at Bai Duanduan again, “Do you think cooking is a waste of time?”

“Ah? No! Cooking is a way to cultivate your sentiments! It is a decompressor for busy work and life, and the best way to change your mind and rest! It is a kind of life attitude that young people in the new era should have, and it is a positive life attitude!”

Bai Duanduan hurriedly denied this joke, could it be said that Ji Lin’s cooking was a waste of time?! How could she let herself get a meal after that?!

Unfortunately, this boasting didn’t make Ji Lin happy, he lowered his head and said, “Oh, but that’s not what you said before, when you talked about Lin Hui.” He said grimly, “‘It’s just that later on, the law firm had more and more things to do, and he couldn’t possibly waste time cooking’, you see, you felt that the matter of Lin Hui cooking was actually a waste of his time, how come when it comes to me, it becomes a way to cultivate sentiments?”

Although Ji Lin’s expression was calm and natural, this tone was full of resentment, “What? His time is time? My time is not? His time is too precious to be wasted on cooking, but I should be wasted on cooking?”

Bai Duanduan couldn’t lift her head when she was hit by this series of words. What kind of memory does Ji Lin have? She just said casually that day but he can still write down word for word, and now logically asked herself to give an explanation. This man, not only work, but also like to turn over old debts, and remember revenge. According to this memory, Bai Duanduan has no doubt that if she offended Ji Lin, he would be able to remember for a couple of hundred years, right?

Ji Lin was still expressing his dissatisfaction, “But in fact, my hourly rate is higher than Lin Hui’s, and Lin Hui’s time is not worth as much as mine, so if his cooking is a waste of time, then mine a waste of life ……”

“But you cook very well! It’s so much better than Lin Hui’s cooking! It’s a loss to the culinary world that you don’t cook!”

This was actually Bai Duanduan’s innermost thought, she couldn’t help but blurt it out, but after she said it, she actually didn’t have much confidence in appeasing Ji Lin’s inexplicably rising manly ambition at the moment, but something strange happened, Ji Lin, who had just been acting up, suddenly went quiet.

Like a cat with fried hair, Bai Duanduan stroked it hopelessly, and then it actually calmed down.

Ji Lin stopped talking, he seemed to be in a better mood, and then lifted his chopsticks to continue eating.

Although it is normal to have a comparative mind when you are in the same legal field, but this childish competitive mind of Ji Lin’s ah……

After all these Bai Duanduan just wants to sigh, heh, man.

[Small Theatre]

Rong Sheng: I was the most important person in Ji Lin’s heart for more than ten years! I’ve had this man for over ten years! From youthfulness to maturity!

Bai Duanduan: Oh, I own the rest of this man’s life.

Rong Sheng: …… Damn it, I lost!
