An Jiayou kept silently hypnotizing himself, yet someone refused to give him the chance to back down. Lin Mubai saw no one answer him, so he simply turned around. At this moment, Little Jia You couldn't find the perfect excuse to run away, so he had to bite the bullet and step up: "Uncle Mu Bai, I don't know how to handle kitchen tasks, what can I do to help?"
The hidden deep meaning was, I can't help, so please let me go.
Lin Mubai, such a clever person, how could he not hear the hidden meaning in his words? Yet he still pretended not to understand: "Little Jia You, just help Uncle Mu Bai pick the vegetable leaves. It's such a simple task that even a fool can do it."
The other meaning of this sentence was, if you can't do it, then you're worse than a fool.
In order not to be worse than a fool, Little Jia You had to obediently enter his life of picking vegetable leaves.
