Chapter 24: Suyang is so childish

I rented out the apartment that I had previously lived in and officially moved in with Suyang to work for him. Although my title was an assistant, in reality, I was really a female servant and a little white mouse in an experiment.

Everyday, I had to wash his clothes and prepare three meals. Furthermore, aside from his bedroom, I had to clean the entire apartment. In addition, I had to partake or be his victim in all sorts of pranks.

For instance, occasionally, he would throw me a packet of chewing gum. But once, I was zapped the moment I caught the chewing gum, and he held onto his belly as he roared into laughter.

Another time, he stuck a note behind my back while I wasn’t paying attention. On that fateful day, he deliberately brought me out with him. I didn’t realize he had used superglue to stick a note behind my back until I noticed a lot of strange glances. On the note, there was an arrow pointing to the left, which had “the smartest person in the world” written on it.

I finally understood why Suyang insisted on standing to my left.

I didn’t know if I, as the victim, lost more face, or he, the self-proclaimed smartest person, was worse off. In brief, Suyang was extremely fond of these childish pranks. He never seemed to get tired of them.

On one ordinary day, I had just returned home from buying groceries. The moment I entered the apartment, I saw Suyang curled up on the couch. He appeared distressed and sorrowful as if there were black clouds looming over his face. My intuition was telling me that if I ask him what was wrong, I would ultimately be the one to be out of luck. So, I pretended not to see anything as I stealthily tried to slip into the kitchen.

“You’re back…..” Suyang used a downcast tone as he looked at me with his droopy eyes.

There was a possibility of one in ten thousand, but I decided to give Suyang a call. The moment he picked up, I heard unending sounds of rain in the background.

“What is it?” Suyang’s voice was very quiet. Actually, it wasn’t that quiet; it was being concealed by the pitter-patter.

I was so shocked that I nearly dropped my phone. I didn’t know what to say. After I was stunned for three minutes, I hurriedly stood up and took an umbrella as I rushed out the door in my slippers and indoor clothes.

The elevator took forever to come. I was impatiently stomping my feet as I grumbled. “Why is he so stupid?! …if he catches a cold, who would have to take care of him? Me!”

The moment I arrived at the entrance of the first floor, there was a flash of lightning and a *hong long* sound. I was so frightened that I stopped in my tracks.

I tightly gripped onto the umbrella as I hesitated whether I should exit my building or not. Then, I saw Suyang’s figure shivering from the cold.

That idiot!!

I gritted my teeth and ran out with the umbrella, screeching, “Suyang! Suyang! Hurry up and come home!”

Hearing my voice, Suyang turned around. Since he was drenched, his hair was plastered against his head. Originally, he already looked thin and weak. Now, he looked even more frail.

Although I was holding onto an umbrella, I was getting attacked by rain from all directions. In a few seconds, I was also wet; my umbrella shook uncontrollably when the wind blew.

With difficulty, I held onto the umbrella with one hand while I tried to pull the motionless Suyang with the other. “Go home!”

Unexpectedly, Suyang firmly shook me off. He looked annoyed and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, “I am not going!”

“Why are you out here getting soaked?” I could already hear the sign of a cold. I wanted to drag him home by force.

But the strength of my one hand was no match to the strength of his two hands, so I simply got rid of my umbrella and exposed myself to the storm. I used two hands as I tried pushing him from behind, “Hurry up and go home!”

The storm was scarier than what I had anticipated. The moment I separated from my umbrella, I was rained on so hard that I could barely keep my eyes open. At the same time, Suyang was still resisting me. It made me even more furious.

In a moment of desperation, I ruthlessly kicked him as I roared, “Can you go home?!”

“I’m doing an experiment right now. If you want to go home, go!”

By now, my umbrella had blown far away by the wind. But Suyang picked it up and handed it back to me, “Who told you to come out?”

I had to put my hand over my forehead in order to slit open my eyes. Just as I was about to say something, another explosive thunder sound rang in my ears. I threw myself in Suyang’s embrace as I violently beat his back with my fists. At the same time, I was babbling nonsense, “Aiya! Ma ya! Go! Home…..go now! At this rate, we might be so unlucky that we get split in half!”

After a long time, Suyang grabbed my arm and we wildly ran back into the building to hide from the rain.

In less than three minutes, my entire body was soaked. As for Suyang, he looked like a fresh seafood that had just been fished from the ocean. Each time he made a movement, there was a *hualala* sound.

“What the heck were you trying to do?” I muttered as I wrung the water from my clothes. I was extremely annoyed.
