It was like Bai Chen was in a classroom with a grumpy teacher and the teacher asked him: "Why do you always put your palm in front of your nose every time I talk to you?"
The honest answer to that question was because the teacher had bad breath, but could Bai Chen give an honest answer when his teacher was so scary and even be able to use his hands to punish his students when he was displeased with them?
This time, Bai Chen felt that he was in such a situation when he knew the answer to Wu Jinhai's question but couldn't bring himself to answer the question honestly. It wasn't that Wu Jinhai was scary and would use his hand to slap him after hearing his answer, but Bai Chen just knew that an honest answer wasn't something he should say, just like how he also couldn't tell his teacher honestly that the man had bad breath.
