Those Sweet Times

Chapter 20 Part 1

Xiang Nuan wanted to weep.

She didn't know whether she should explain the whole thing to Shen Zemu
or stay silent. If she told him that she had drawn the face but not the pig nose,
then she was literally telling him that she had a crush on him and was secretly
observing him. If she didn't give an explanation, then it seemed like she was
holding some sort of grudge against him……

It was such a dilemma.

Finally, Xiang Nuan pushed the notebook towards Lin Chuyan and ambiguously
said: “He did it.”

Lin Chuyan readily accepted the blame and placed the notebook into his own
pocket. He unflinchingly faced Shen Zemu: “This notebook is mine.”

Very well, a man using a pink covered notebook, such a great excuse.

Now they had made the situation even worse. Xiang Nuan was going to clarify
but her brain went blank when she saw Shen Zemu's stern eyes. She opened
her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Shen Zemu didn't make a sound and took the food back to the register: “Pack
them up.”

The clerk swiftly packed everything. Before Shen Zemu left, the clerk said:
“There's a gift that comes with any purchase in the store today.”

Waiwai immediately asked: “What's the gift?”

“A single dog sticker.” The clerk said, pointing to the pile of stickers next to
the counter.

Xiang Nuan looked at the pile.

The sticker was of a sad dog……

Shen Zemu glanced at the stickers and couldn't believe what had happened
to him this night.

He refused the gift and picked up his food to leave the store without a word.

He walked away somewhat hastily.

Xiang Nuan watched him walk away through the window.

Lin Chuyan comforted her: “Don't worry, he won't be angry about that. Men
usually aren't that narrow minded.”

Waiwai brought his own food over and agreed: “That's right, don't worry, Xiang
Nuan. He's not upset, just embarra.s.sed.”

“It's all your fault.” Xiang Nuan glared at Lin Chuyan.

Lin Chuyan accepted all the blame and returned her notebook to her.

Waiwai found it pleasing to the eyes seeing these two people sitting together.
No matter what they do, he could eat another bowl of rice just watching them
like this.

When Xiang Nuan returned to her dorm room that night, she, after a bit of
internal debate, eventually sent a message to Shen Zemu.

Xiang Nuan: Xuezhang, sorry, there's some misunderstanding here. TAT

Shen Zemu: It's alright.

Xiang Nuan: You're not angry?

Shen Zemu: I'm not.

Shen Zemu wouldn't get angry just because some childish drawings, but he was
still confused and uncomfortable about it all. Finally, he asked: You dislike me?

Xiang Nuan: No, no. I don't dislike you.

Shen Zemu: En.

Shen Zemu almost believed her. Then he checked posts from his other friends
and noticed a new post from Lin Chuyan.

Lin Chuyan: Received a gift. [picture]

The picture was a drawing. The Lin Chuyan in the drawing looked really good with
two cute fox ears. It was from ‘Nuan G.o.d.' It was easy to figure out who that was.

When comparing the two drawings, it was hard not to be disturbed even though
it was just a trivial matter.

Shen Zemu wouldn't bother to ask anything more, he just quietly closed the
window and signed off WeChat.
