Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 7258 (7258) is the only one that counts.

The gray-handed man smiled and waited for the brown-handed man to continue.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you still waiting for me to speak?" the brown-handed man asked.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Yes."

“You guessed right again, I really didn’t finish,” said the brown-handed man.

“Go on,” the gray-handed man said.

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "Do you think that what you say on your own doesn't count, and that it has to be me who says it?"

“I was just telling you to continue,” the gray-handed man said.

"Am I not continuing?" the brown-handed man asked.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "You're still asking questions."

The brown-handed man said, "Asking is also a form of speaking, isn't it?"

The gray-handed man said, “Yes. But when I said ‘go on,’ I was thinking about what you were going to say next, not what you were going to ask.”

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "So I asked you, and this disappoints you?"

“No,” the gray-handed man said. “There’s nothing wrong with it. After you asked, I accepted it. After all, you don’t have to do what I want.”

“But I’m willing to do as you wish,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

“I still prefer to see you be more casual,” the gray-handed man said.

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "Doing things your way doesn't mean you can't do them arbitrarily."

The gray-handed man said, "If it were up to you, you would do what you want, not what I want, right?" The brown-handed man laughed and said, "It's not like you have to choose between the two."

The gray-handed man asked, "What are you considering? The same situation you and I are thinking about?"

“Yes, in this situation, I can do whatever I want, and naturally I’ve already done what you want,” said the brown-handed man.

“That situation does exist, but it wasn’t like that just now,” the gray-handed man said. “Just now, I wanted to hear you ‘speak,’ but you wanted to ‘ask.’”

“How did you know I wanted to ‘ask’?” the brown-handed man said. “Although I did ask you a question just now, that doesn’t mean I wanted to ask it at that moment.”

"If you don't want to ask, why do you ask? Are you still acting deliberately at this moment?" Grayhand laughed.

The brown-handed man said, "I did do it on purpose just now."

"No one is forcing you to say or not say anything, and no one is telling you in advance what you must say, so why would it be deliberate?" Grayhand asked.

“I just said to you, ‘Do you think that what you say on your own doesn’t count, and that it has to be me who says it?’ Before that, I originally wanted to say, ‘It seems that I have to say it myself, ‘I haven’t heard enough’ for it to count. But after thinking about it, I still think that saying it directly would be a bit arbitrary, even though I did think so at that moment. But I don’t need to draw such a conclusion, so I deliberately changed it to a question.”

"Is this what you mean by 'deliberate'?" Grayhand asked.

“Yes, you don’t think this is intentional?” the brown-handed man asked.

"I don't need to think about it. As long as you believe you deliberately changed it when you say it, then it can be considered deliberate," the gray-handed man laughed.

“It seems to you that I didn’t do this intentionally,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

"I can't quite say whether it's intentional in my opinion. What I think doesn't affect what just happened," the gray-handed man laughed.

“What if I think your opinion is important?” the Brown-Handed Man asked.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "I've already stated my opinion. You can think of it that way."
