Chapter 2482 (Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Two) Naming
"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "It's fun to make more jokes, and people around you will be happy. I quite like people who like to joke."
"Ah?" Li Pingrun was stunned and said, "But..."
"What?" Tie Jinjue said with a smile, "Do you think the joke you made this time did not satisfy you?"
"I..." Li Pingrun said, "I also like people who like to joke, but I am not joking. Why did Elder Tie say I was joking? Did I say something wrong? If I said something wrong, I hope Elder Tie can forgive me!”
Tie Jinjue said: "Relax, it's very casual. If you recall what you just said, you will know if you are joking."
After Li Pingrun thought about it, he couldn't think of anything in what he said that sounded like a joke, so he asked Tie Jinjue: "What are the words I said that made Elder Tie think I was 'joking'?" ?”
"Some words related to this 'thorny thing'." Tie Jinjue said with a smile.
Li Pingrun was stunned again and said: "This is the first time I have seen this 'thorny thing' today. I don't know its name, which makes Elder Tie laugh! I... I just haven't seen it before. I really don't know. Maybe Elder Tie is very familiar with its name, but I really... sometimes know so little about it that it’s really embarrassing.”
"I'm not laughing at you." Tie Jinjue said, "Have you ever seen a cactus before?"
"Of course I have seen it!" Li Pingrun said, "Why did Elder Tie suddenly ask about this?"
Tie Jinjue found it incredible and thought: What I drew is obviously a cactus. Isn't the "thorny thing" he just mentioned a cactus? Why did I ask this 'suddenly'?
Tie Jinjue said: "Because of this painting." Li Pingrun frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Just because this is a 'thorny thing', and does a cactus also have thorns?"
Tie Jinjue said: "What I drew is the cactus."
Li Pingrun also smiled and said, "I can see that Elder Tie is the joking person you mentioned."
"Why, you think my painting doesn't look good?" Tie Jinjue asked.
"Haha, Elder Tie's joke is really interesting. How can I say 'not like'? It's not at all. I know Elder Tie is very good at drawing, but if Elder Tie draws a cat, ask me Does it look like a rabbit? I can only say 'no', Elder Tie is very interested in joking," Li Pingrun said.
"What if I told you that what I painted was a cactus?" Tie Jinjue asked.
"Elder Tie wants to give the 'thorny thing' you drew a name, just 'cactus'? There's nothing wrong with that. Even if Elder Tie raises a cat, he names the cat 'rabbit' , which is quite normal, but whether it's called 'Rabbit' or not, it's still a cat," Li Pingrun said with a smile.
Tie Jinjue thought to himself: This is originally a cactus, but why are you naming the cactus I drew after me?
Tie Jinjue opened the door, called a subordinate in from the door, and asked the subordinate in front of Li Pingrun: "Look at what I drew?"
The subordinate blurted out: "Cactus in the sun."
Li Pingrun was really surprised when he heard this, and thought: Why do Elder Tie's men also call this thing a cactus? Did they agree before?
