Chapter 1175: Just Tell Me That I’m Pretty
Nian Xi paused briefly with surprise, then felt that what he said might really happen.
Last time, they talked about going for dinner and a movie together. That silly guy might look at his phone all day without the courage to actually message her.
“But before you go…” Fang Qi looked at her from head to toe discontentedly and said, “Try to make yourself look better. You look really scruffy.”
“What’s so wrong about my look? Scruffiness can be a different kind of beauty,” Nian Xi snorted. Then she packed up her things and went downstairs.
In the car, she looked at herself in the mirror. She had been working many extra hours lately and did look a little sallow.
She hurriedly picked up her foundation, refined her makeup, and put on some lipstick.
On her way, she texted Jiang Yuning to let him know that she would be at school soon.
‘I’m going to the school gate right now’—He replied right away.
Nian Xi saw him standing before the gate in a white trench coat like a statue when she arrived. Under his white coat were a black shirt and a dark blue tie. That normal outfit looked gorgeous on him. His snow-white, flawless skin looked like colored glass, especially pleasing to the eye.
He had no idea how appealing he looked and how many girls were standing around him. He seemed to be completely absent-minded as if nothing in surroundings had anything to do with him.
Nian Xi drove straight toward him. Jiang Yuning seemed to recognize her car. His eyes instantly lit up as he walked toward the car.
“Get in.” Nian Xi waved at him. She liked it when he could see nobody but her.
Jiang Yuning sat in the front seat. Nian Xi showed her police badge, then the guard let her in. “Have you been here every day lately?” she asked him.
“I’m working on a project with Professor Han.” Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and responded shyly, “Also, I’m waiting for you.”
His voice grew lower and lower. However, the music wasn’t on, so Nian Xi heard him clearly.
“I’m sorry. I’ve been working a lot lately.” She felt a little guilty about this.
“Emm, I know…” Jiang Yuning landed his eyes on her face and said, “You look pallid… Not even the foundation on your face can cover that…”
Nian Xi felt a little embarrassed. The extra foundation she put on did not escape his notice.
“And you have heavy, dark circles under your eyes…” Jiang Yuning continued with concern.
“Alright, stop.” Nian Xi pulled over the car and said to him seriously and embarrassedly, “Didn’t you see that I’m wearing makeup?”
Jiang Yuning blinked, didn’t say anything, but abruptly leaned toward her.
“What are you doing?” Nian Xi felt awkward under his gaze, so she hurriedly moved backward.
“Looking at your makeup.” Jiang Yuning responded honestly, “You’re wearing lipstick.”
Nian Xi even wanted to cry. It turned out that her foundation was wasted.
Well, maybe, the foundation was too good. It was too natural to be seen.
“The color of your lipstick is nice.” Jiang Yuning continued with something complimentary, “I want to kiss those lips”—He didn’t manage to finish the last part of that compliment.
“Thank you.” Nian Xi nodded. “Just save those unnecessary words and tell me I’m pretty.”
“Alright.” Jiang Yuning nodded without fully understanding her. She was the prettiest girl in his eyes anyway, even though she looked a little wan at the moment.
“But… You need to get some rest. Isn’t the case solved already?”
