Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Yeah,” Luosang nodded her head and feigned innocence, “Did you forget, on the premiere night of ‘Dark Secrets?’ I warned you not to fall in love with me, or I was going to make you pay.”

“Is that so? I completely forgot. Don’t make things up, you hear me?” he said.

…

Luosang continued to stare at him quietly until he appeared to look a little guilty. He cleared his throat and said, “Fine, I underestimated your capabilities, you little vixen.”

Luosan stood up with a smile, “Go home, the dormitory is closing soon.”

Nian Junting walked her closer to her building along with Xiaosi. Before parting, he reached out and gave her a tight hug before sadly leaving her.

Luosan watched his shadow disappear and felt her heart brim with happiness.

“He’s long gone, what are you still grinning about,” someone had tapped on her shoulder from behind.

It was Yansu, she was looking at her with curiously and amusement.

Luosang blushed and said, “I was just thinking about something, you’ve just come back?”

“I’ve been standing here since the moment Mr. Nian held you in his embrace, you just didn’t have the headspace to think about anything else,” Yansu teased her, “Fast progress ay, you’re already hugging, how many days has it been since you guys got together?”

Luosang looked at her sternly, “Enough, let’s head up. Mr. Nian brought me some goose meat, it’s pretty good.”

Yansu looked at her in surprise, “Wow, didn’t see him as someone who would deliver supper to anyone late at night. Thought his EQ was too low for such a sweet gesture.”

“He does have low EQ, but he is quite motivated and takes a lot of initiative. If a man truly cares about a woman, she would know it. I think that it might not be necessary to look for a man with high EQ, most guys like that are playboys who coddle their ladies with sweet talk,” Luosang said with a laugh, “After getting to know him, you’ll find that Mr. Nian doesn’t have the bad habits of those rich playboys.”

“Wow, look at you, showering him with high praise and defending him loyally. You’re a changed person now,” Yansu bumped her shoulders mischievously.

When they returned to their room, Tang Ning was back as well, they shared a bowl of goose meat before Luosang took a shower. The unpleasant feelings she had after the encounter with Yi Jingxi was slowly being washed away.

…

At the Tianhu Villa.

It was 11.30pm and Nian Junting lugged four big bags of fruits into the house. Nian Xi was lazing on the couch watching television. When she saw him walk in, her eyes lit up, “Wa brother, did you buy all these back because I complained about the lack of snacks at your place just now? Did you know that I was coming over? I’m so touched, brother.”

She sat up on the couch immediately and reached out for the bags.

Nian Junting blocked her reach and said, “This is not for you, step aside.”

Nian Xi looked around and said, “There’s only me around, who are these for then? Don’t tell me it’s for Sansan, she not even around.”

“Yeah, I know, I’m going to peel them and deliver them to her tomorrow,” Nian Junting called Sister Lan over, “Wash these fruits for me.”

Nian Xi was baffled, “Bro, are you alright? You hate peeling things.”

“Yeah, I know, but I have no choice,” he would do anything to kiss her again, no matter how much he detested the task.

“Oh my god, what kind of spell did Sansan cast over you?” Nian Xi covered her mouth in disbelief, “Ok, it’s hard for you to find a girlfriend, I won’t fight over these with you. Can I just have a little bit, just a little bit?”

“I don’t know if I bought enough, you can have some grapes and plums, you can have the pomelo if it’s sour.”

“…”
