Not Me

He had wanted to get the tea from the kitchen, yet when he came out of the kitchen, what he had in his arms was a pile of instant noodles and snacks. Those were what he had found in every corner of the kitchen.

There was only one reason why these snacks were put in different places – someone was trying to hide them.

Therefore, these things, including those in the drawers, must have belonged to Jian Sangyu.

Therefore, when he didn't see Jian Sangyu eating those things it didn't automatically mean that Jian Sangyu didn't eat them at all. Instead, she was eating them on the sly; to be precise, behind his back.

Jian Sangyu, who had been standing in the bathroom and dabbing some cream on her face in front of the mirror, suddenly found a pimple on her forehead. Whilst she was worrying about her pretty face, she failed to realize that something bad was brewing from the living room.

After she tidied herself up, Jian Sangyu walked out of the bedroom. What she had not expected was that as soon as she came into the living room, Gu Chen called out her name.

"Come this way."

The moment Jian Sangyu heard the voice and the tone, she took a pause and got alarmed. She wanted very much to run away if that was possible.

"Come this way, Jian Sangyu." Gu Chen repeated.

He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, back facing Jian Sangyu. He didn't have to turn around to know that Jian Sangyu had come out of the bedroom and he also could sense that Jian Sangyu had frozen when she heard his words.

Jian Sangyu mustered up some courage and moved towards Gu Chen's back. She looked up and saw the expression on Gu Chen's face and her heart skipped a beat. Then her gaze went down to the table followed by the eyes of Gu Chen.

For some reason, the table was suddenly full of snacks scraped together by Gu Chen from every corner.

As well as some instant noodles.

Jian Sangyu swallowed hard. She knew that as long as Gu Chen called out to her in such a serious tone, something bad must have happened.

"Yours?" Gu Chen lifted his hand and pointed at the things on the table.

Jian Sangyu shook her head constantly. "Those are Mina's! Those are hers! Not mine!"

"Oh really." If Gu Chen had not been smart enough to tell false from the truth, he would have been fooled by Jian Sangyu.

"Jian Sangyu, have you forgotten what you have been through?" Gu Chen grabbed out a rubbish bag from the drawer of the table as he said, "You sneakily ate some instant noodles at the age of fourteen and you got a fever the next day and was hospitalized!"

Swooshing, what greeted Jian Sangyu's eyes was Gu Chen's hand that swept off every bowl of instant noodles into the rubbish bag. Her heart shivered.

Those were precious things!

Most of them were things she paid a great deal for and bought from somewhere else!

The spicy instant noodles of R Land, the kimchi instant noodles from H Land….

"You had a nose bleed in the summer holidays when you were fifteen, have you forgotten that too?" Another sound of swishing, the chips and biscuits as well as the pickled spicy tofu skin were also inside the rubbish bag too.

Having gotten rid of those things, Gu Chen stood up and threw another look at Jian Sangyu, who had an expression of despair. Gu Chen said with a serious tone, "My warning to you Jian Sangyu, if you ever dare to do that again, I will punish you in my own way."

Jian Sangyu stayed silent. With head lowered, she had the tip of her toes kicking the sofa every now and then.

Gu Chen ignored Jian Sangyu, but started to walk past Jian Sangyu and entered the room as he unbuttoned his shirt.

Standing in the living room for a long time, Jian Sangyu scooped out the things that had not been discovered and hid them away.

"What kind of man is he who has remembered all the bad things but never the good ones?" Jian Sangyu touched the bag in a reluctant way, and took a very displeased look around before going back to the room.

It was still very hot in the summer night. Jian Sangyu lowered the air-conditioning by several degrees before going to bed. When Gu Chen finished in the shower and hat out away his dirty laundry, Jian Sangyu had already fallen asleep in bed.
