Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4772 (Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy-Two) Ask Him

"I answered." The man said, "I said... I can't decide."

"What's next?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man said: "Then he asked me... since I can't decide... then... then what's the point of me saying that."

The Gray Hand Man said, "Did you answer him?"

"Yes." The man said, "I said... I just said it to try it out."

The Gray Hand asked, "Where's he?"

"He...he said...actually I just wanted to ask him for help once, and asked me if it was okay." said the man.

"What about you?" asked the man with gray hands.

"I didn't say anything," the man said.

"What happened then?" the Gray Hand Man asked again.

“Then he said… I had already said ‘yes’ in my heart, so he… didn’t ask any more questions.” said the man.

"Did he get what you were thinking?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

At this moment, the person who had previously said "I don't have the courage, so I didn't ask to go. This is where you and I are different" didn't know how to respond. The shame he felt made it difficult for him to speak.

The Gray Hands asked, "Is it still wrong?" After the Gray Hands asked again, the man felt that he could not just let this matter go, so he said, "At that time... at that moment I did think... that he was right. Of course... of course now I know... this... this is a great shame. But... but what I mean is... that I just hope that I will not be attacked... that will make me... that will make me more painful..."

"After he said that, you didn't refute it?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"No." said the man.

"Are you worried that if you refute him, you will be attacked even more fiercely by him?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I was worried at the time,” the man replied.

The Gray Hand asked again: "If he said that now, would you refute it?"

"I...I...this...that..." the man stammered, "It depends on whether I had the thought that he was right at the time. If this...this thought appeared in my mind, even if I...even if I refuted...it would be meaningless, because...he knows what I'm thinking. If I refute him when he already knows what I'm thinking...it would only be a lie...when it's obvious..."

"Then do you think, if it were now, would you feel that he is right?" asked the man with gray hands.

"When I thought of this shame just now, I had regrets, but... but that thought was fleeting, because I... I thought of the situation at that time again, and when I thought of it again, I could still understand how I felt at that time, so... so I guess... even now... I still... think that he is right... but... but I hope he doesn't use the original words... If he uses another word, I... I will feel better."

"How do you put it?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It's just... he said that I just wanted to ask him for help once... I don't want to hear the word 'ask'." The man said, "This word makes me feel too humiliated! Actually, I want to... want to make a request... but... I can't talk about requests in that situation, so I'll just say... 'ask'."
