Chapter 36

Without the seasoning packets when eating ramen, but giving them when not eating ramen. This is the current situation of Wen Zhengyu in the male trainee dormitory. He wanted to eat a packet of noodles, but before he even entered the bedroom, he was stopped by Lee Sun-gyu, who had the key and appeared here again, bringing ramen over. Unexpectedly, the water was already poured in, but Lee Sun-gyu was fiddling with the seasoning, not giving it to him. Occasionally, he would tilt his head, with an expression as if to say, "What are you going to do about it?"

Wen Zhengyu squinted his eyes and looked at Lee Sun-gyu, then smiled and said as gently as possible, "What's wrong with you today?"

Lee Sun-gyu's face instantly turned sour, and he raised his head to glare at him, "You're the one who's acting weird! What if I don't give it to you?"

Wen Zhengyu's tone faltered, and he shook his head, looking at her, "Aren't we good now? These past two days, we've been like oil and honey. Why are you suddenly like this?"

Lee Sun-gyu widened his eyes, looking as if he was about to vomit, "Promise? Oil and honey? I'd rather die than mix oil with you!"

Wen Zhengyu was really a bit troubled now. Although they had a fight last night and even drew blood, in the end, he lent him the computer, and this morning, he even called him to practice together. But after just a short time away, why did this situation arise? It was as if he had amnesia and was treating him like they just met, being as confrontational as ever... There must be something wrong here.

"Sun-gyu..."

"Call me senior."

Wen Zhengyu paused, slowly putting away his smile, "Ugly girl. Give me the seasoning back."

Lee Sun-gyu pursed his lips, "Brat, I won't give it to you!" He then tore open the seasoning packet and poured it directly on the ground.

Wen Zhengyu looked at Lee Sun-gyu for a while, then softly asked, "Are you... starting your period?"

Lee Sun-gyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted. He pointed at him, with an abnormally cold expression, "Wen Zhengyu, are you trying to make me bite you again?"

Wen Zhengyu chuckled, "You're not crying anymore, right? You forgot about the tears and snot from yesterday?"

Lee Sun-gyu shook his head and made a face, "I don't remember. What can you do about it?"

Wen Zhengyu was really getting impatient, frowned, and stood up, "Just say it, what's wrong with you? You can't argue with me, and you're not a match for me in a fight. You're just being stubborn and pretending to have amnesia. What are you trying to do now?"

Lee Sun-gyu snorted, "Want to know? I won't tell you." He then stepped forward and snatched Wen Zhengyu's noodles, throwing them directly into the trash can.

Wen Zhengyu's expression was surprised, and after a while, he pursed his lips and slowly walked toward Lee Sun-gyu. Lee Sun-gyu subconsciously stepped back but glared at him defiantly, "Hey. If you come over, I'll tell my dad you hit me. Don't believe me? Try it."

Wen Zhengyu didn't stop, still slowly walking toward Lee Sun-gyu. Lee Sun-gyu gritted his teeth and held his ground until Wen Zhengyu was right in front of him, about to raise his hand.

Lee Sun-gyu punched him, but Wen Zhengyu caught his hand. The other hand also came down, passing over his body, picked up the jacket, put it on his shoulder, and walked toward the door. From start to finish, he didn't say a word.

Lee Sun-gyu was stunned, his eyes flashing with a strange look. He ran to the door to confirm that he had indeed left, then couldn't help but smirk, "Turns out I can do it. I thought I couldn't handle him... But this time, he must be really angry, right?"

Lee Sun-gyu giggled and walked toward Wen Zhengyu's bedroom. Inside, there was a desktop computer on the table. However, the cables behind the case were not yet connected. Lee Sun-gyu approached and carefully studied it, starting to install it seriously. He didn't think about anything else, and the clock on the wall slowly ticked.

Wen Zhengyu, who had left the room, silently walked down the street. Passing by a fish-shaped pancake stand, Wen Zhengyu paused, walked over, and sat down, "Auntie, give me four fish-shaped pancakes, two to take away."

The middle-aged woman running the stand, who was about to complain about being called "auntie" instead of "aunt," turned around and saw Wen Zhengyu, and couldn't help but laugh, "Four fish-shaped pancakes, two to take away... Kid, are you a trainee from one of the nearby entertainment companies?"

Wen Zhengyu was surprised and smiled curiously, "How did you know?"

The stand owner smiled and put two warm fish-shaped pancakes on a plate, "I've lived in this area for over twenty years. I know how many children each family has, and I've never seen anyone as good-looking as you. You must be a new trainee, right?"

Wen Zhengyu nodded politely, "Yes, auntie..."

The stand owner frowned and waved her hand, "Call me aunt, not auntie. All the kids around here call me that, and my youngest son is about your age."

Wen Zhengyu opened his mouth and, after a while, said, "Aunt..."

The aunt chuckled and agreed, then took another fish-shaped pancake and put it on his plate, "You're so good-looking, here's one more for you."

Wen Zhengyu smiled and bowed, "Thank you, aunt." He then bit into the fragrant fish-shaped pancake, but it reminded him of the first time he ate it, which was a long time ago.

The aunt kept watching him, "How is it? Is it good?"

Wen Zhengyu came to his senses and nodded vigorously, "It's good. The best fish-shaped pancakes I've ever had are from you, aunt."

The aunt laughed happily and put the two fish-shaped pancakes into a bag and handed it to him, "If it's good, enjoy it slowly. They're best when they're warm."

Wen Zhengyu hummed, his mouth full of fish-shaped pancake, and mumbled in agreement. After a few bites, his stomach was warm and full, and he took out his money, "Aunt, let's settle the bill."

The aunt turned around, waved her hand, and said, "No need. It's our first meeting, consider it a treat."

Wen Zhengyu quickly shook his head, "That's not right. You're running a business..."

The aunt took the money, but put it back in Wen Zhengyu's pocket, "You kid, I'm not here to make money. I'm just doing something to pass the time. My eldest son is already working, and he's in an entertainment company too. My second son is in college and will join the military next year. What's wrong with treating you to a fish-shaped pancake?"

Wen Zhengyu was pushed a few steps by the aunt, and when he turned back, he was about to be glared at. Helplessly, he could only bow again, "Thank you, aunt."

The aunt chuckled, "Go back, it's cold."

Wen Zhengyu nodded and smiled, then turned and left. The aunt chuckled and turned back to her work. She had a good personality, and her family was well-off. She often treated children to food. But today, she really liked the little guy.

"Aunt!" A sudden call made the aunt turn around.

Wen Zhengyu was smiling not far away, "My name is Wen Zhengyu, I'll come often."

The aunt was stunned for a moment, then laughed and called out, "Come when you're hungry."

Wen Zhengyu smiled and waved, then turned and really left. The aunt muttered Wen Zhengyu's name, smiled, and shook her head as she cleaned up the plates, "What a lucky family to have such a polite and good-looking child."

Wen Zhengyu didn't know someone was praising him, but after eating the fish-shaped pancakes, he wasn't hungry anymore. Looking at the fish-shaped pancakes in his hand, Wen Zhengyu put them in his pocket and headed back to the dormitory. After opening the door and entering, he saw the bedroom door open and was even more certain. When Lee Sun-gyu moved aside and showed him the desktop computer, Wen Zhengyu didn't show the surprise and amazement she expected, just sat down naturally.

It was as if there should have been a computer there all along. If Wen Zhengyu hadn't found the system disk to install the system, Lee Sun-gyu would have thought that installing the computer was just an illusion. When Lee Sun-gyu slowly put away his smile and his breathing became heavy, something suddenly flew toward him. Lee Sun-gyu instinctively caught it, and it was warm... and fragrant.

"Fish-shaped pancakes?!" Lee Sun-gyu opened it and took a bite, "Mmm! It's hot... Oh."

At this moment, while installing the system, Wen Zhengyu had already turned around and was smiling. He looked at Lee Sun-gyu, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Is it good?"

Lee Sun-gyu looked at the fish-shaped pancake, then at Wen Zhengyu, pouted, and glared at him, pointing to the computer, "You knew all along?"

Wen Zhengyu shook his head and looked at Lee Sun-gyu, "I sensed it. The key is that you overacted. Such a dramatic change, even a fool could tell you were up to something in my bedroom... Especially when you didn't let me in when I just got back."

Lee Sun-gyu slowly put down the fish-shaped pancake and suddenly threw it in anger. Wen Zhengyu caught it smiling and threw it back, but what he said next made Lee Sun-gyu stop.

"Sun-gyu... thank you."
