Chapter 704: Weird and Eccentric
"Hmm, you seem to be having a rather enthusiastic conversation, now even discussing the bar scene, without ever asking me. Looks like you’ve got someone else to consult with; that explains it."
As Kang Yue spoke, it became apparent why she could so effortlessly dish out passive-aggressive comments — in just a short while, she was already at it. Shen Dong felt utterly helpless, conceding it was his fault. Turns out, even without any hint of intimacy in the messages, his girlfriend could still pinpoint vulnerabilities to attack him with.
Forget it, one shouldn’t nitpick too much with their girlfriend; otherwise, you’d face an endless series of arguments — women’s thought processes are always more formidable than yours. The moment you dare to voice any one of them, she’ll find an even weaker point to counter you. He had learned this over time and had started to adeptly avoid such situations, then cheerfully said:
"Yueyue, do you want to go see underground boxing with me? You’d have to sit in a wheelchair, though. They have VIP seating there; consider it a little outing to lift your spirits. Please, stop being upset and giving me that passive-aggressive attitude; you don’t know how much I look forward to your tender whispers each morning.
But instead, I’m greeted with a barrage of sarcasm — how can I bear it? Last night you were so sweet, and this morning you woke me up by tugging at my ears. You have no idea how "critical hit" that is to me."
Shen Dong looked especially pitiful as he said this, like someone abandoned and deeply in love. Kang Yue coughed awkwardly — forgiving him would not be that easy. If she let him off the hook so readily, he wouldn’t appreciate it. She took pride in the many strategies she hadn’t even employed yet, with plenty of time still on her hands.
She decided to let the man slowly squirm, but now, faced with this tantalizing offer, she couldn’t dismiss it outright. Underground boxing, huh? She indeed wanted to see those bare-chested men boxing — it would undoubtedly be thrilling.
She had been lucky enough to catch a glimpse once; but she left in haste without getting a good look. If there was a chance to go now, she’d make sure to sit right there, watching intently. Since he offered to take her, why not? The injury on her foot wasn’t a big deal — he could just carry her, princess-style.
"Oh, thinking of me now, are you? I thought you were going to take some other woman and leave me all alone at home, desolate and abandoned. But it seems you do have some conscience after all, don’t you? Suddenly realizing that your girlfriend is the better choice."
"Absolutely right, my girlfriend is the best person in the world; no one is as good as my girlfriend. That’s why I’d love to accompany my girlfriend to my girlfriend’s..."
He said this with a hint of resignation. Well, that’s just how this woman was when she caused a fuss. He had no choice but to accept it. If he didn’t appease her quickly, he’d suffer even greater consequences later. Best to admit his mistake while he could.
