Chapter 124 : Chapter 124
124. Objection!
Facing Lu Zheng’s honesty, Yi Ning instinctively took two steps back, her hand unconsciously moving to protect her little butt.
Scared~
He only acted this straightforward with her.
Which meant he only acted lowly with her.
Why did that sentence sound a bit…
“Bro, what is this…”
Yi Ning’s mind began spinning rapidly, thinking about how to respond.
She had indeed said she didn’t care if others had strange thoughts about her body, that she didn’t mind if someone took her photos home and did some pleasant movements with their little brother.
After all, it wasn’t like it would affect her body.
But the way Lu Zheng said it now sounded like he wanted to take things further.
She was still just a child, okay.
Thinking of this, she quickly took a few more steps back.
She hadn’t been TS’d for long and wasn’t ready to handle such advanced XP.
Even if hormones had some influence, she wouldn’t fall so fast!
Moreover, confessing after only spending such a short time together, Yi Ning had every reason to suspect that this guy Lu Zheng had definitely been interested in her for a long time!
Back when she was still male.
Ptooey!
Pervert!
Seeing the mixture of disgust and shrinking fear on Yi Ning’s face, Lu Zheng immediately realized.
His words just now were too ambiguous and had led Yi Ning to a misunderstanding.
He quickly began flopping around on the floor like a stranded fish.
Flopping around, he shouted out his explanation.
“I swear to the heavens, I definitely don’t have that kind of weird thoughts! It’s just that my words came out with some ambiguity.”
“Ambiguity?”
Although Yi Ning’s tone was still filled with suspicion, at least she stopped retreating.
Of course.
Her hand protecting her little butt still did not move away.
“I’m just simply lecherous, with absolutely no other thoughts!”
Lu Zheng lifted his head, trying to use his sincere gaze to move Yi Ning, but unfortunately his face was completely blocked by the Pixel Mask helmet.
Plus, considering how crudely made Yi Ning’s helmet was.
There was no sincerity, only chaotic evil.
“Then what exactly did you mean by ‘only act lowly with you’?”
Yi Ning moved behind the nearby table, slammed her hands hard on it, and pointed straight at Lu Zheng.
Objection!
“By the way, I never even said that sentence, did I?”
“Huh?”
Yi Ning gripped the table with both hands, leaning her body forward slightly.
“I advise the defendant to behave. Don’t try to play clever. Spouting nonsense is useless!”
“I’m telling you, I never said that. If you don’t believe me, go flip back and see.”
Lu Zheng, lying on the floor, tried to move a little, but as before, there was nothing he could do.
He could only lift his head to look at Yi Ning, seeking her help.
“Can you help pull out one of my arms? It’s a bit inconvenient like this, and if possible, could I trouble you for a cup of coffee too?”
Yi Ning blinked, walking out from behind the table.
After taking a few steps toward Lu Zheng, she suddenly stopped, turned, and walked in another direction.
After a while, she returned, holding a giant mechanical arm, a cup of coffee, and a TV-shaped machine. She sat down behind the table again, using a remote control to operate the mechanical arm to help Lu Zheng pull out one of his arms and even used the arm to hand him the coffee.
It was clear that until Lu Zheng’s “gay suspicion” was cleared, Yi Ning would not choose to approach him herself.
Clack!
Yi Ning pulled out a hammer from who knows where and gave it a knock.
Ding~ Mid-trial recess is over, let us resume the trial on whether Lu Zheng is gay.
“Why does the trial even have to start with the premise that I’m gay?”
Lu Zheng sighed helplessly, then slightly adjusted his helmet upward to expose his mouth.
Condensation had formed on the coffee cup Yi Ning handed over, and it felt slightly cool to the touch, indicating it had just been taken from the fridge.
He lifted the cup to his mouth and carefully took a sip of the coffee Yi Ning had given him.
“Pfft—”
The moment it entered his mouth, there was an overwhelming sweetness, yet in the middle of that sweetness was a subtle bitterness, and at the end of the bitterness, there was even a strange sourness.
In short, it was extremely nasty.
“Ptui ptui ptui!”
Lu Zheng kept sticking out his tongue, trying to expel the strange taste from his tongue entirely.
To little effect.
Clack!
Seeing Lu Zheng’s suffering from her special blend, Yi Ning was all smiles.
However, considering it was almost time for her to get off work, she had to tap her gavel again to draw Lu Zheng’s attention back to the trial.
“Now, defendant, please give your testimony!”
Lu Zheng spat a few more times, too lazy to keep bickering with Yi Ning’s words, and repeated his previous testimony.
“I really didn’t say any weird things, if you don’t believe me, you can flip back and see.”
“Heh~”
Yi Ning spread her hands, waving them dismissively.
She pulled out the remote control, pressed a button, and the TV she had moved over earlier suddenly displayed an image.
She bowed gracefully.
“Then let me completely shatter your confidence.”
On the screen, Yi Ning was stepping on Lu Zheng’s helmet with her foot, rubbing it hard while mocking his lowly behavior, and Lu Zheng, lying on the ground, responded to her mocking.
“I’m very polite with them.”
“It’s only with you that I can act so straightforward.”
Hearing this line, which differed from what she had anticipated, was like being struck hard in the gut for Yi Ning, causing her to bend over, clutching her chest, her face displaying utter disbelief.
“How can this be?”
She slammed the table hard, her hands gripping the edge, a ferocious look on her face.
“Well? I didn’t lie, did I?”
Lu Zheng, still lying on the ground, smugly waved the coffee cup in the air.
“Hmph!”
Seeing this, Yi Ning angrily slapped the table with one hand.
She raised a finger, shaking it in front of herself before pointing it at Lu Zheng.
“So what? This still doesn’t clear you of your gay charges!”
“After all, ‘only act so straightforward with you’ can also be interpreted as a signal of courtship!”
Bang!
This time the noise came from Lu Zheng’s side.
He forcefully smashed the coffee cup onto the ground, so fast that the coffee even splattered into the air.
Fortunately, he was still wearing the helmet, otherwise, he would definitely have to wash his hair thoroughly when he got back.
“You’ll have to pay for that cup if you break it!”
This sudden line cut off the explanation Lu Zheng was about to give, nearly making him choke on his breath.
The frustration almost overwhelmed Lu Zheng’s mind, making him want to smash the coffee cup onto Yi Ning’s head.
Thankfully, he kept chanting in his heart “Yi Ning is a girl,” “If I break the cup, I’ll have to pay,” and so on, suppressing his anger.
He took a deep breath for two seconds and responded once more.
“Objection!”
