Chapter 301: What things are "necessary"?

Xu Pengcheng paused slightly after hearing Nan Zhubin's words, hesitating for a moment.

He nodded and repeated, "Yes, I can't touch cake. I really hate cake."

It sounded like repetition, yet also like emphasis.

Nan Zhubin smiled.

"I can't touch cake," what is people's first reaction upon hearing this sentence?

What type of person uses the word "can't" in such a context?

Facing the details revealed in Xu Pengcheng's language expression.

Nan Zhubin directly pointed it out: "It sounds like 'can't touch cake' seems to be a choice you were forced into, a choice others persuaded you into?"

"Moreover, for most people, saying 'I can't touch cake' to express their attitude is enough; but you go further by saying 'I really hate cake,' which seems like you've convinced yourself again on top of being convinced by others."

"But this repeated emphasis from multiple angles seems to suggest that your inner thoughts are not quite in line with your verbal expression."
