Chapter 317: Throw Away Everything That’s Green (1)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
Lin Jiage stared at his own reflection in the mirror for a very long time until he felt like the greenness of his face was nearly comparable to that of the Hulk. Only then did he finally retract his gaze and head into his changing room.
While he did prefer wearing white clothes, there were plenty of clothes in other colors in his cupboard too.
Most of these clothes were bought for him by his mother and his elder sister, and a huge handful of them still had product labels hanging off them.
Normally, Lin Jiage wouldn’t even pay a second glance toward those clothes. But while he was fixing his hairdo, through the mirror ahead of him, he caught sight of a green T-shirt hanging in the cupboard behind him.
Why would such a color appear in his room?
Lin Jiage was stunned for two seconds before he turned around to walk up to his cupboard and tugged out the green T-shirt.
Following which, he saw a pair of camouflage pants consisting of patches of light green and dark green hanging right beside it. A deep frown made its way to his forehead as he tugged out the camouflage pants too.
Before long, he embarked on a strict inspection of everything in his changing room, mercilessly purging everything that carried the color green on it.
Lin Jiage was just about to carry all of these clothes out of his room when on second thought, he turned around and went back in. He found the greenest shirt he could find and switched the white T-shirt he was wearing with it before carrying the whole pile downstairs.
It just so happened that when he stepped into the living room, a maid walked out of the kitchen with a fruit platter in hand, intending to bring it upstairs to Lin Jiage.
Upon seeing Lin Jiage, the maid instinctively wanted to say, “Young Master, have some fruits”, but before those words could come out from her mouth, she noticed the striking green T-shirt Lin Jiage was wearing and the pile of clothes with varying degrees of green in his hands, and she froze on the spot. It took ten whole seconds before she shot a perplexed stare at Lin Jiage and asked, “Young Master, may I ask what it is that you intend to do?”
Lin Jiage didn’t respond to her question. With a completely expressionless face, he walked towards the hallway, opened the door, and tossed all of those clothes out.
“Young Master, those clothes are still perfectly fine, why would you throw them out like that?” the maid exclaimed anxiously. She quickly placed the fruit platter on the table and rushed to the door, wanting to take the clothes back in.
On the other hand, Lin Jiage opened the shoe rack, and just as he was about to take out his shoes, he noticed a couple pairs of green-colored footwear inside. So, he took them out and threw them out of the door too.
Even the white shoes that he usually loved to wear, due to the slight hint of green at the back, was heartlessly and unhesitatingly tossed out of the door.
While tossing away those items, he turned to the maid by the hallway and said, “Find a place to store these items. I don’t want to see them appearing in my sight.”
After saying those words, Lin Jiage took one last look at the shoe rack, and after confirming that there was no problem with the shoes that were left inside, only then did he start to put on a pair of shoes.
“Young Master, it’s already late at night. Are you still going to head out?”
Lin Jiage ignored the maid’s question.
“I’ve already sliced some fruits from you. They’re the newly-imported New Zealand little apples that you said weren’t too bad the last time you tried them. Do you have time to eat some before heading out?”
Lin Jiage was just about to step out of the door when he specifically heard the word ‘apple’ and froze. Then, he turned around and asked, “Who told you to slice apples for me? When did I say that apples aren’t bad?”
“The thing that I hate the most in the world is apples. Don’t let me see even a single apple in the house!”
“Also, what’s with that green painting on the wall over there? Dispose of it!”
The maid was alarmed. “That won’t do, Young Master! It’s a masterpiece that the Old Master spent a huge fortune buying from a true master!”
“A masterpiece? Can a masterpiece really be so ugly? Are you sure that person is a true master and not just a con-artist? I don’t care how you deal with it, but don’t let me see it by the time I come home!” Lin Jiage said as he shot a swift scan through the living room. “Also, what’s with that flower arrangement in that vase over there?”
