Julien didn't answer, which meant that she guessed correctly.
Sydney was curious and touched.
She knew that he just wanted to have lunch with her and didn't want to eat first.
Sydney sighed, and her eyes softened. "Why did you have to do this? You knew I was sleeping, but you still waited for me. Did you know how long I would sleep? If I slept until the end of the afternoon, would you have to wait until that time?"
Julien chuckled casually. "It's not a big deal. Don't be so serious."
"This isn't a big deal?" Sydney pursed her red lips and raised her voice. "Eating late is not good for your health. Do you know that? And you had an accident last night."
"You worry too much. An occasional late meal won't do any harm to my health," said Julien, trying to convince Sydney that a late meal was not a big problem.
Seeing him so stubborn, Sydney slapped his thigh in anger.
Julien let out a groan of pain.
Sydney grunted coldly, "Serves you right!"
"Are you angry?" Julien rubbed his thigh, which was sore from her slap, and looked at her with a slight inclination of his head.
Sydney didn't want to meet his eyes, so she turned her head to the side. "What do you think? You didn't eat on time, but you don't take it seriously. Can I not be angry? I am worried about your health. Yet you don't care at all."
"You misunderstood me." Julien reached out and pressed her shoulder. Seeing her turn back, he said in a gentle voice, "I take your words seriously. I just think a late meal won't cause any harm to my health. Rather than eating alone, I prefer to eat with you. Eating together is more joyful, right?"
Sydney looked up at him. "That's true, but you could have woken me up at that time."
Julien laughed, "You were sleeping sound, and your sleeping face looked so cute. How could I have wanted to wake you up?"
This made Sydney flush, and she glared at him. The anger in her heart instantly dissipated.
He always had a way of cooling her down.
Sydney forced a smile and said resignedly, "Forget it. I'll let you off this time. Don't wait for me in the future, or I won't dare to come to your place to rest again."
Julien thought, 'She won't dare to come here again?
'No! I can't let that happen.'
Julien's expression and tone immediately turned grim. "Okay, this is the last time."
"Really?" Sydney raised her eyebrows.
Julien nodded. "Yes."
"That's good," Sydney finally smiled and then admonished him. "Even if I do not come here in the future, you should eat on time. I've heard from Zach that you sometimes skip meals because of work. This is bad for your health. If you have any health problems, I will dislike you."
She threatened him.
Julien looked serious. "Then it seems I have to take good care of myself, or I will be disliked and abandoned by you."
"Of course. You are several years older than me, so you have to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, when you are old and we walk outside in the future, people will say that you are much older than me." Sydney looked at him with a smile.
Julien's expression stiffened slightly.
He thought, 'I'm several years older than her.'
'When we walk outside in the future, people say I'm much older than her.'
He didn't like either of these two statements, and he felt like he was really old.
Thinking about it, Julien couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face, and then he looked at Sydney's face again.
