Gong Juechen instantly brightened up and almost immediately began to speak: "Here's the thing. Back then, wasn't it my uncle who suspected I was Su Chenglin? He wanted to see the birthmark on my lower back and even pushed me into the river, all just to force me to take off my clothes so he could look. In the end, my clothes got wet, but I refused to take them off to dry. My uncle then asked me why I wouldn't take them off, and I said: 'Well, I'll still have to put them back on anyway.' Hahaha, doesn't this sound a lot like your situation with me?"
Afraid that others might overhear, Gong Juechen kept his voice very low as he said these words, though when he laughed at the end, his voice became much louder—a hearty laugh echoed out.
Ye Zhi genuinely couldn't understand what was so funny. She could only stare at Gong Juechen in exasperated silence.
After laughing for a while, Gong Juechen noticed Ye Zhi wasn't laughing and asked, "Isn't it funny?"
