Chapter 7178 (7178) No Rush

The brown-handed man said, “I’ve thought about what you’re saying. It does sound like there’s something to it, but that’s not what I meant.”

Grayhand said, "Sometimes, even if it's not what you really mean, you can still be misunderstood."

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "I know that, but I don't think you would really misunderstand."

The gray-handed man said, "You're right if you don't think so. I said that on purpose just now. If you think I misunderstood you because of that, then you've misunderstood me."

The brown-handed man chuckled, "Why does this sound so roundabout?"

"It's a bit convoluted, but I'm sure you understood," said the gray-handed man.

The brown-handed man asked, "Are you so sure?"

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Yes, I believe I'm right. And even now, if I were to say it's absolutely true, I'd still dare to say that I wouldn't feel so comfortable."

The brown-handed man joked, "Have you trained yourself to tolerate less comfortable feelings yet?"

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "You're saying this on purpose again. What you mean is, since I said it was absolute and there are still uncomfortable feelings, that means I can adapt to and tolerate those uncomfortable feelings, because I said it was absolute. Is that what you think?"

The brown-handed man chuckled, "That's not actually what I meant, but I was just joking, that's what I meant. Can we continue what we were saying?"

The gray-handed man said, "Are you in such a hurry for this?"

The brown-handed man chuckled, “Let me repeat what I said before. You just need to answer this question—what topic were we talking about earlier? I feel like we didn’t finish discussing quite a few things.”

"Do you want me to answer directly?" the gray-handed man asked.

“Yes,” said the brown-handed man.

“Okay, after I finish answering, you have to answer one of my questions too,” said the gray-handed man.

"There are still conditions, aren't there?" the brown-handed man asked.

“Yes, there are conditions,” the gray-handed man said with a smile.

The brown-handed man said, "Alright, I'll answer."

The gray-handed man said, "Then I'll answer you now. It's about the 'east and west' and 'north and south' topic we were talking about earlier." The brown-handed man laughed and said, "Oh, I see."

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "It's your turn to answer my question."

“Okay,” said the brown-handed man.

"It's the question I just asked: 'Are you in such a hurry for this?'" the gray-handed man laughed.

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "No rush."

The gray-handed man said, "Is that all you're going to tell me?"

“Didn’t you want something direct? Isn’t this direct enough?” the brown-handed man asked.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "That's direct enough, but it's not quite what I expected."

“What do you imagine?” the Brown-Handed Man asked.

“I thought you would tell me exactly what you were thinking,” said the Grey-Handed Man.

"You're assuming I'm anxious first, and then waiting for me to talk about being anxious, is that how it is?" the brown-handed man asked.

“Yes,” the gray-handed man laughed.

The brown-handed man said, "I guessed right."

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "If you guessed right, then you guessed right. Let's continue with the 'east and west' and 'north and south' that we weren't talking about earlier."

“I’ve been waiting for you to continue,” the brown-handed man laughed.

The gray-handed man said, "Are you waiting for me to continue?"

“Otherwise?” the brown-handed man said. “Wait until I continue?”

“Yes, I’ve been waiting for you to say that,” the gray-handed man laughed.
