Seeing that Basil Jaak had misunderstood him, Zoc hurriedly explained, "Jaak, I don't mean I want to fight you, I mean I want to work with you! Ah, no, what I actually mean is…"
Although there was only a slight difference between the two phrases, Basil Jaak interpreted them as two completely different meanings.
"You want to join me?" Basil Jaak interrupted Zoc, trying to clarify.
Zoc immediately nodded vigorously, as if worried Basil Jaak wouldn't see his movements.
"Stop!" Basil Jaak reached out and stopped Zoc's motion, saying irritably, "You're not afraid of breaking your neck."
"As long as Jaak is willing, even if it breaks my neck, I'm willing." Zoc flattered with a smile, seeing that Basil Jaak's teacup was empty, he quickly picked up Basil Jaak's cup, rushed over to pour Basil Jaak a drink, then handed the filled cup back to Basil Jaak, respectfully saying, "Jaak, here you go!"
This kid really is aware!
