You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 374 The Instant Noodles

"Almost all kinds of instant noodles are easy to break. Just choose them according to your own taste." The saleswoman spoke before she left for something else.

John's gaze turned to Adrian, and he saw that he was looking back at him too. Both of them looked curious about each other.

"John, what a coincidence! You're here to buy noodles, too?" Adrian smiled to hide his guilt. "Henry suddenly craved instant noodles for breakfast, so I went out to grab some for him."

"Yes, my wife also wanted to eat instant noodles." John also felt a little guilty. If others knew that he bought instant noodles to kneel on, things would get out of control.

"What a coincidence!" Adrian exclaimed as he tossed a pack of instant noodles into his shopping cart.

John looked at the noodles that Adrian got. Just now, he heard Adrian say that he wanted instant noodles that were easy to break.

"Why did you choose this brand?" John asked him.

Adrian's heart jolted. He picked the pack of noodles randomly, and he just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible.

John had always been very observant of people. If Adrian talked just a bit more, it would be very easy for John to know exactly what was up with him.

"They are easy to break and easy to bite. Henry likes this brand," Adrian answered.

When John heard what Adrian said, his eyes lit up. He just needed to take the same brand that Adrian picked.

Reaching out, he also took a pack of the same noodles from the shelf.

Adrian pointed suspiciously at the pack of noodles and asked, "Oh, so you also buy this brand?"

"Yes," John answered quickly. "Nina has had problems with her teeth recently."

"Oh, I see." Adrian nodded, doubting John's response.

Nina was still young. It was quite unlikely to have bad teeth at her age.

Adrian looked skeptical.

When John noticed that Adrian wasn't totally convinced with his explanation, he knew he had to change the topic quickly. "Oh, by the way, what's wrong with Vera?" he asked Adrian.

"Well, don't mention her name." Adrian was full of anger, but John succeeded in changing the topic. "I suspect that Vera knows about the relationship between Henry and me. She did it on purpose to separate us."

A hint of concern appeared on John's face.

"It's impossible for me to break up with Henry. I don't care what Vera would do. Anyway, Henry trusts me," Adrian said firmly. A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the pack of noodles. Anyway, as long as he knelt on the instant noodles without breaking them, Henry would let it go.

Now that people thought Adrian had an affair with Vera, she would definitely not be able to marry Henry anymore. Henry was famous for being a playboy, and people didn't think he would take the responsibility. Adrian was overjoyed. If it weren't for Song Group's reputation, he wouldn't mind all the gossip spreading on the Internet.

Thinking of this, he was on cloud nine and made a slip of the tongue.

"John, do you still remember when we had hotpot together last time? While I was out shopping with Henry, we happened to come across Nina, Michelle, and Chester. That was when we asked them out to have hotpot with us."

The two of them slowly walked side by side as they talked. Adrian was pushing his shopping cart while John tucked the big packet of instant noodles under one arm. People couldn't help but look at the two handsome men.

John and Adrian didn't mind people's curious looks. John was not interested in what Adrian said, but the latter went on and on.

"But anyway, it's not about the hotpot. It's about Nina's classmate. She seemed to have a fight with her boyfriend back then, so she bought a pack of instant noodles. As punishment, she had him kneel on the instant noodles. I remember that Nina was very amused by the idea, and she said that her classmate was smart. We were wondering if Nina would do..."

All of a sudden, Adrian cut himself off. The two of them stopped at the same time and stood still.

'Oh, no, my tongue slipped,' Adrian nervously thought to himself.

"Would do what?" John asked. This time, John's voice sounded very deep and sinister as he asked the question. It seemed as if it was some demon's voice. Adrian felt the surroundings grow cold and quiet.

He didn't dare to turn his head and look at John. He just stared at the instant noodles in his shopping cart and swallowed. However, he seemed to have realized something.

Did John buy the instant noodles so that Nina could make him kneel on them as a punishment?

For him, the thought was unbelievable. Here was John, going back home to his wife so he could kneel on instant noodles.

Adrian didn't care to think about it anymore. All he could think about was what John would do to him to keep his mouth shut.

"Oh, sorry, but I forgot to pick up some other items that Henry wanted me to buy. I have to go back and look for them. It might take a while, so please go ahead," Adrian said shakily. He was trying to make an excuse to leave.

But he was talking to John. No one could escape from him.

"Come back," John ordered coldly.

At that moment, Adrian felt as if his legs were as heavy as lead. He could not find the energy or the will power to move or walk away. All he could do was wait for his sentence.

"I'm sure that's all that Henry wanted you to buy." A sly grin appeared on the corner of John's mouth. He already knew what was happening.

Just like him, Adrian had to go back home and kneel.

Adrian just smiled shyly without saying a word. They paid for the groceries and then went their separate ways.

When John returned to the apartment, there was no one home except for a note on the table.

"I'm leaving at ten o'clock. I'll be staying in Spring City for a while. I won't be online. Work hard but take a break once in a while. Also, don't smoke, okay? Your little girl."

As soon as he put the note away, his phone buzzed. He looked at the screen and saw that it was a WeChat message from Nina.

"Did you buy what I asked you to buy?" Nina wrote.

"Yes," John replied.

"Put the instant noodles in a dry place, and I'll use them when I come home."

"I already ate them."

"What?" When Nina got his message, she was surprised. She had asked him to buy the noodles for kneeling, not for eating.

"I'm hungry," John explained to her.

Looking at his message, Nina frowned a little.

"Okay. You can buy them again after I come back," Nina replied.

For a while, John kept staring at his phone. He then opened the pack of noodles and began cooking them.

He didn't eat them. Instead, he took a photo and sent it to Adrian. There was no explanation with the picture. He knew that Adrian would understand.

It was John's way of getting back at him.

When Adrian saw the photo John sent, he was very annoyed. He was having a hard time kneeling on the noodles at home when he received it. He was so mad that the noodles cracked just a few seconds afte he saw the photo.

With a crisp sound, the noodles broke into little pieces.

His eyes widened. "Oh no!" Adrian exclaimed in frustration.

After Nina got on the plane, one of the airline staff quickly made a phone call.

"Miss Ye, Nina is on the plane."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
