Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

After finishing a plateful of prawns, Nian Xi found herself unable to stand how her brother advertised his relationship with Luosang. Therefore, she lowered her head to make her phone ring, then walked to the side to pretend to answer a call. Then, she came back to the table and said, “The police station just called me. There’s a new case, so I need to go. Brother, you stay here to enjoy the food with Sangsang; don’t forget to send her back later.”

After saying that, she felt that she was truly a nice sister. Her brother wouldn’t shell her prawns, but still, she helped him.

Thinking that she would be spending time with Nian Junting alone, Luosang’s heart missed a beat. “Are you leaving already?” she said to Nian Xi, then turned to Nian Junting and continued, “I think we should leave as well. Nian Xi didn’t drive her car. You should give her a ride.

“No need. She’s a policewoman, therefore knows how to fight, so she’s absolutely safe.” Nian Junting didn’t move.

“Yeah, and I’m still in uniform. No one is safer than me.” Nian Xi worried that if she stayed for another minute, she would never want to talk to her brother again. “Sangsang, I’ll find you in your dorm tomorrow morning, don’t turn off your phone.”

After Nian Xi left, both Luosang and Nian Junting fell in silence. Some other people started singing.

Nian Junting tapped the table with his fingers, recalling what he had read from the sweet talk books. He had learned quite some lover’s honeyed words which could melt a girl’s heart, but he wasn’t sure about what to say at this very moment.

He thought for a while, then began talking slowly. “This song is so unpleasant to hear. After hearing you sing, I find no one sings better than you do.”

“Eh-hem,” Luosang was drinking water. Hearing his words, she shivered and spouted the water in her mouth. A few drops even splashed on Nian Junting’s face.

“So-sorry!” The startled Luosang hurriedly took a tissue to wipe his face.

Nian Junting was going to get angry, as no one had ever dared to spit on his face.

However, as she got close to him, her soft skin rubbed against his cheek and the anger in his heart was gone.

“Never mind,” he said.

Luosang sighed in relief. After sitting down again, she couldn’t help but say to him, “Mr. Nian, I remember that last time, I made it clear with you. What you did tonight…”

“Did you like it?” Nian Junting interrupted her and raised his eyes to look at her. “You said that the husbands who shell prawns for their wives are good.”

Under his gaze, Luosang lowered her head and responded with, “But…you’re not my husband.”

“Anything is possible.” Nian Junting gave a smile and said, “I’ve been thinking a lot these days. You refused me because you’re poorly tasted. As for the feeling thing you mentioned, I don’t believe in it. I believe in charm. I’m an outstanding man, so you’ll easily fall in love with me if you spend some time with me.”

Luosang felt a little speechless about his confidence which was established quickly.

“Eh…”

“Alright, from now on, I’ll be shelling all your prawns,” Nian Junting smiled, looking straight into her eyes.

Luosang wasn’t able to stay calm.

Before, Nian Junting always said mean words to her, but today, his words had thumped her heart and made her feel so sweet for a few times in a row.

“It’s nearly one o’clock. I have class in the morning, so I need to go back to the dorm,” Luosang stood up and said.

“It’s so late, I think your dorm would be closed already,” Nian Junting tapped his watched and said, “You should go back with me and stay in the villa for tonight. I’ll send you to school tomorrow morning.”

“I don’t think my dorm is closed…” Luosang bit her lips. She didn’t want to go back with him, because she believed that if she did, her relationship with him would become too complicated.
