4296 The Other Side 265
Gong Jie found himself at a loss for an answer to that question.
How did this cunning girl come up with this question?!
He didn't even know how to answer it!
A vivid image immediately came to his mind upon hearing this question.
"Hahaha!" The actor, unable to contain himself any longer, burst out laughing.
What an awesome question! A grilling of his soul!
Natalia raised her eyebrows triumphantly and pressed on, "Won't you save me?"
"Of course I'd be willing to…"
"Would you be willing to give me CPR, then?"
"..." Gong Jie frowned. He'd always had a severe case of mysophobia, so the image of that alone made him gag.
His face was ashen as he set Natalia down. It was obvious he was already looking sickly.
"You're not to ask that question again."
Natalia listened, confused. "Why?"
"That's not a question a lady should ask."
Gong Jie frowned as he spoke. "Where did you get that question from?"
"Emmm… not telling you!" Natalia stuck her tongue out playfully at him and ran towards the actor.
Seeing her run towards the actor, Gong Jie's meaningful gaze fell on him. Naturally, he would think that this person must have put that question in her head!
The actor caught his eye and shuddered. He was compelled to explain himself, but he sensed that any attempt to do so forcefully would only worsen things and make him look guilty.
But…
He really didn't suggest the damned question!
Hua Jin also tugged on Natalia's hand. "Who taught you to ask that question?" he asked sternly.
"Does it matter who I learned it from? You can't answer it anyway. Which means if I do fall into a cesspit, you won't save me and give me CPR."
"I would!" Hua Jin vowed, clenching his fists.
It was Natalia's turn to stare at him as if she'd seen a ghost. Did the man just say he would? Why did she find that so hard to believe?!
"I don't believe it!"
The actor said airily, "You're right not to believe it. And I don't believe you're going to fall into a cesspit either."
Natalia looked confused. Even though it sounded like a real possibility, it seemed she wouldn't have a chance of actually falling into a cesspit, so the question wasn't really valid. Given this, there was no point discussing if one was willing.
Still, the actor's answer sounded suspiciously lazy. It was Gong Jie's turn to feel better. He was, however, impressed by how the actor's answer had managed to restrain the girl.
Natalia turned immediately to Gong Jie and said, "In this case, I'm able to answer your question now."
"Eh?"
"I'll jump into the river to accompany you guys, too. I'll die for love."
"..."
Both Gong Jie and Hua Jin were dumbfounded.
What sort of answer was that!
"Anyway, you won't really fall into the river. Besides, even if you did, I wouldn't be able to drag you ashore. However, even though we were born on different days, I'm certain we'll all die on the same day."
The two men were completely stumped.
This answer was indeed…
Too patronizing!
Natalia chortled. "Well, let's not dwell on this meaningless question. You're all important to me. I can't let either of you go."
