Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Don’t worry, I’ll pretend that I don’t know you well. If my family asks about you, I’ll tell them that you’re so pretty that even Xiaosi got attracted by you,” he said.

“Do what you like…” Luosang honestly didn’t know what else to say.

…

At six after dinner, Luosang began preparing for the Christmas show in the dancing room with a few classmates of hers.

After the first rehearsal, Luosang felt that their performances weren’t good enough.

“Shui Chang, your rap was fluent, but not natural enough, and you looked a little stiff. And Zhang Yang, you missed two dance steps just now,” she said.

“I’m sorry, I’ll do better next time.” Zhang Yang rubbed his hair embarrassedly.

“Why did you apologize?” asked Shui Chang. “Our part is the most difficult part.”

“But you two are playing the most important two roles in the show,” Luosang reminded her blandly.

“You chose the roles yourselves. You’re playing a big part, so it’ll surely be a little difficult. If you’re gonna rehearse with that attitude, I’ll have no choice but to replace you with Yao Yueyue.”

“You…Don’t cross the line.” Shui Chang stomped her foot and said, “Don’t think you can do anything you want because Professor Li put you in charge. I’m highly valued by Professor Li too. It’s just my grade is slightly lower than yours.”

“Alright, stop fighting. We’re all doing this for our department. Shui Chang, Luosang didn’t point out just your mistakes; she gave advice to all of us. Plus, she has keen eyes. She can easily spot our flaws. None of us can do as well as she does.” Yuan Zichu kindly tried to mediate the dispute.

“Yeah, help her. Everyone knows that she has a rich boyfriend,” Shui Chang pouted.

The others all felt a little embarrassed. Yao Yueyue hurriedly brought some drinks and said, “Come on, let’s have a drink and take a break.”

“Zichu, you bought us drinks again. You’re nice. I’ll buy it next time,” Lei Yu smiled and said.

“It’s nothing. These ones aren’t expensive anyway.” Yuan Zichu glanced at Luosang and gave her a smile.

Five minutes later, they finished the drinks. Luosang stood up and said, “Let’s rehearse again.”

“Can’t we rest a little longer?” Shui Chang pouted and asked.

“Shui Chang, let’s show some respect to Luosang,” said Zhang Yang. “She still needs prepare for the emcee’s speech at night.”

“I only have a few lines. I’ll do two full rehearsals with you all, then you guys can continue without me,” said Luosang. After rehearsal, she needed to draft the emcee’s speech for Ye Chuen’s birthday party.

“Come on, everybody. Get in position.” Yuan Zizhu stood up.

In the show, Luosang and Yuan Zichu were a couple. They wouldn’t appear in many parts, but every time they would appear, they would be holding hands.

While performing the rap, Shui Chang suddenly got a glimpse of a handsome man through the window. The light was dim, but it outlined the man’s beautiful face, straight nose, and shiny eyes that looked like the eyes of a wolf hiding in the darkness.

Shui Chang’s heart missed a beat, and her tongue trembled, so she messed up her line.

“Shui Chang, you made worse mistakes than you made the last time,” Luosang turned back and saw that Shui Chang was looking at the window. While complaining, she turned to glance at the window. However, she saw nothing but a tree out there.

“What are you looking at?” she asked.

“I saw…a very handsome man…” before Shui Chang finished, the door of the dancing room was violently pushed open.

Nian Junting broke in with large steps. He was wearing a plaid suit, and he was angry.
