"Give me your entrance report. I'll use that to receive your paper tomorrow."

"In the nightstand over there."

The admission report was placed right under the pile of candy, so I reached out to take it out and gave it to Mu Huainan.

Mu Huainan did not accept the notice, but frowned as he asked me where the "candy" came from.

"Uncle Xiuyuan gave it to me, but I've never opened it. I rarely eat it."

Mu Huainan stared at me, his pitch black eyes filled with surprise. "Eat?"

When I saw how surprised he was, I was even more surprised. "What? Candy isn't something that can be eaten? Could it be that it's used for food?"

Right after he finished speaking, Mu Huainan suddenly laughed.

"You think this is candy?"

"Otherwise."

It was filled with foreign words. If it wasn't because of the Korean characters, I couldn't recognize a single word.

"Throw it away." After a long while, Mu Huainan coldly spat out two words, "You are not allowed to leave a single one behind."

"Why?"

"You really don't know what this is?"

"Is there a need for me to lie to you?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Mu Huainan frowned, suspicion written all over his face. I felt that it was even more strange than he did.

While he was deep in thought, he heard the footsteps coming closer and closer from outside the bedroom, and Shen Xiuyuan's voice sounded out.

"I've already finished cleaning up, what are you two waiting for?"

Just as he walked in, Shen Xiuyuan's gaze fell on the drawer that was opened, as well as the "candy" in Mu Huainan's hands. His expression changed, and he quickly reacted with a couple of awkward laughs, before retreating out of the room without moving an inch.

"Um …" I... Did I come in at the wrong time? Just treat it as if I don't exist, don't exist, you go on. "Continue..."

I could tell that the apology on Shen Xiuyuan's face was from his heart, but I just couldn't understand why he would apologize.

"Shen Xiuyuan!" Uncle Xiu Yuan and I were so frightened by Mu Huainan's sudden roar that our bodies trembled. Hearing it, we looked over, he grabbed the "candy" and walked towards Shen Xiuyuan, and mercilessly threw it onto his face.

"Why did you send so many of these to An An? It's almost filled up the cabinet!"

I had been in the clouds, and I couldn't figure out why they were so angry and sorry. I walked over suspiciously and stood in the middle of them.

"What's wrong? Isn't it just a few packets of sugar?"

Shen Xiuyuan was first stunned, then when he saw my serious expression, he burst out in laughter.

"You think this is sugar?"

"Otherwise."

"This is …" Just as Shen Xiuyuan said that, he was interrupted by Mu Huainan.

"Get out!"

Shen Xiuyuan was bitter, but he could not help but say it out loud.

"This is bubble gum." He smiled evilly, "The bubble gum that helps men and women solve that problem..."

"Shen Xiuyuan, I think your skin is itchy!" Mu Huainan didn't hesitate this time and placed a foot on his waist: "Scram."

They both left my room, leaving me alone, blushing a little.

The bubble gum used by men and women to solve that problem … I repeatedly pondered over Shen Xiuyuan's words, and finally understood what this so called "candy" was.

After a few seconds, my blush had spread all over my ears. No wonder Mu Huainan reacted so badly when he saw this thing, it was because …

Heavens, I even confidently said that I don't like to eat it …

Now that he thought about it, he felt extremely embarrassed. When I turned to look at the things in the bedside table, I sighed. I couldn't help it, I couldn't just leave them there. I found a plastic belt and put those things away.

I packed slowly for a long time, and finally dragged my suitcase into the living room, carrying the bag with it in my other hand.

"Are you done packing?" Shen Xiuyuan is the only one in the living room, his left cheek has turned green, I think this was beaten up by Mu Huainan just now.

"Alright, let's go, Mu Huainan that guy went upstairs to work, do you want to say your farewells to him?"

I didn't hesitate. "No need."

Why do I have to say goodbye to that kind of person? I wish I could never come back.

Shen Xiuyuan dragged the chest and walked in front. I followed him out, and when we reached the entrance, I suddenly felt a little sore in my heart. I couldn't help but stop and turn around to take a few more glances.

I've lived here for more than three months, and Mu Huainan has always brought me to eat three meals a day. He rarely eats food outside, and I don't know if it's because he's unpalatable or because he's obsessed with cleanliness, but his culinary skills are also excellent.

These three months, I've probably lived a life that was like home the most.

In the past, there were only me and the nanny at home. When we ate, they would always be a table for one person. There was no feeling of warmth at all.

If not for all those things, I really would have treated this place as my home, and Mu Huainan as someone I could rely on.

Mu Huainan only did what a merchant should do. He had no reason to care about my feelings, I also tried my best to calm my heart down and not let myself suffer any grievances.

"Why, if you can't bear to go up and see her, let me tell you, once you go to school, and purposefully haven't seen Mu Huainan all year round, he'll probably be busy for three hundred and sixty-five days, spending most of it on the plane."

"No need." In the end, I resolutely walked towards Shen Xiuyuan's car.

I just never experienced the feeling of home before, so Mu Huainan only needed to use a little bit of methods to trap me tightly. I only needed to repeatedly tell myself that all of this is fake and he created all of this just to make me take the bait, that's all.

But now, Mu Huainan found someone to build a rose garden here. When I was watching TV that day, I said that since I could remember, I begged my father to build me a rose garden that belonged solely to me. He always promised me that he would, but when he was busy working, he quickly threw it to the back of his mind.

I didn't fulfill this wish until he died.

After I finished talking about this matter, on the third day, there was a rose garden with blossoming flowers in the courtyard. It was a flower that Mu Huainan transplanted from the same area, and every flower was large and bright.

This afternoon, I've been thinking, Mu Huainan, oh Mu Huainan, you have spent too much effort just for your own purposes. I'm actually very easy to satisfy, you just have to accompany me to eat and eat, and chat with me. Don't waste your time doing so many unrewarding things.

If you tell me everything you want, and you're so handsome, I might really give it to you voluntarily.

But why did you lie to me?

I couldn't help but walk to the rose garden and pick a bud that was ready to bloom. I held it in my hand and studied it, then I asked Shen Xiuyuan who was at the entrance.

"Uncle Xiu Yuan, do you think this rose will open again after I break off its branches and bring it home to be raised in the water?"

"Silly girl, you won't be able to open it without a root."

I stared at the flower, but I had already picked it, self-righteously depriving her of the right to live, and now, I could not regret it.

Mu Huainan, there will be a day when you will regret lying to me.

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but raise my head. There seemed to be a figure standing by the window in the brightly lit room on the second floor.

But when I looked up, the figure was gone.

I smiled bitterly, that must be my misconception, for someone like Mu Huainan who doesn't have a heart, how could he waste time researching the company's projects, and stand by the window to watch me leave.

I always think that way.
