Upon hearing the door close, Gu Nuan Nuan rolled off the sofa and hurried to the bathroom.

She drank water from the faucet with a cup, trying to fill herself up.

By the time Jiang Chenyu returned, she had already drunk three cups of water and felt bloated.

When they met again, she blushed at the memory of her stomach growling earlier and ran back to the sofa, covering herself with the blanket.

Jiang Chenyu noticed the cup on the bathroom sink and then glanced at the lump on the sofa. He had a pretty good idea of what had happened.

With a simple sandwich in hand, Jiang Chenyu walked over and sat on the sofa where Gu Nuan Nuan lay, his buttocks just above her waist.

He pulled the blanket off her face. "Here, have the sandwich."

Gu Nuan Nuan turned her head and indeed saw the sandwich in his hand.

Without hesitation, she reached out her small hand to take it, but Jiang Chenyu, noticing how she was not showing him any courtesy, suddenly felt mischievous and decided to tease her. He deliberately raised his arm high and looked down at Gu Nuan Nuan lying on the sofa. "Beg me."

She wasn't going to eat food begged from him.

Gu Nuan Nuan retorted, "I'd rather not."

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

Was this little girl full from drinking too much water, so now she was starting to stand up to him?

He had intended to tease her, but seeing her reaction, he decided otherwise.

Jiang Chenyu said, "I'll leave the sandwich next to you. If you want to eat it, go beg me by the bedside."

Gu Nuan Nuan pouted in anger. As she reached for her thin blanket to cover herself for sleep, she suddenly found Jiang Chenyu holding onto the edge of it.

Her small hand swiftly landed a few slaps on the back of his hand, making it red, before she forcefully pulled the blanket away and covered herself to sleep.

Jiang Chenyu looked at his red hand and thought to himself, "This little girl really put some effort into hitting him."

He placed the sandwich on the coffee table and stood up. "If you're hungry, eat it yourself. I'm going to bed."

Proud Jiang Chenyu unknowingly lowered his head to Gu Nuan Nuan, without even realizing it.

Even when he turned off the lights and went to sleep, he didn't realize that he had bowed his head to Gu Nuan Nuan.

In the early hours of the morning, Gu Nuan Nuan was awakened by the need to urinate from drinking too much water. She made several trips to the bathroom.

Jiang Chenyu, being a light sleeper, could feel her every time she got up. And he also felt her cautiousness, trying not to disturb him, even going to the bathroom barefoot.

Once again, after Gu Nuan Nuan fell asleep, Jiang Chenyu got up and went to the sofa to see if she had eaten the sandwich.

As expected, the stubborn girl hadn't eaten it.

Could drinking water really make someone full?

Jiang Chenyu didn't know, but as he looked at Gu Nuan Nuan, who was asleep again, with the blanket kicked to the ground this time, revealing her face, he couldn't help but sink into memories.

If she were still here, she would be your age this year.

You're a sophomore this year, and she would have been a college student, right?
