After taking a moment to catch his breath, Lin Jiage tried his best to appear composed. He walked slowly into the ward as he threw out an excuse that he crafted on the spot, "The Great Demon King is suffering from period cramps."
"The Great Demon King?" Grandpa Lin frowned. "Do you mean Mr. Zhang? Isn't he a male professor?"
Ah...
Lin Jiage was silent for two seconds before he calmly replied with an 'Oh'. Then, "I left out a word. Wife. His wife."
"I see…" Grandpa Lin accepted Lin Jiage's explanation. He couldn't help recalling that the 'Great Demon King' that Lin Jiage mentioned—Professor Zhang—seemed to be in his sixties this year. For his wife to still be suffering from period cramps, their age gap sure was a little huge. Thus, he added, "... It seems like Professor Zhang's wife is pretty young."
Lin Jiage's lips twitched inconspicuously as he silently turned his head away.
