Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Nian Xi wanted to vomit blood. She was having insomnia because of what had happened between her and Ji Chuan, and her brother mentioned it with no mercy. “Let’s talk about it. Maybe we can find an answer,” she said.

“Yeah,” Nian Junting turned to look outside the window and said, “I’m thinking about sexual relations.”

Nian Xi blushed instantly. “I’m sorry, I don’t know much about that. However, I heard from some people that most men put sex first, but women are different. Women put love first.”

“Yeah?” Nian Junting frowned.

“Yeah.” Nian Xi stayed silent for a second, then continued, “Think about our parents. They used to love each other, didn’t they? Why do you think dad cheated on mom with aunty Jiang? Isn’t it because he was with one woman for too long, so he got tired of her and lost the feeling of freshness? In fact, what a woman really cares about is if her man truly loves her or not. Women can be swayed by the considerations of gain and loss, and lack of a sense of security. I guess men don’t think so much.”

Nian Junting was stunned. So, what Luosang cared about was if he loved her or not?

“Why did you suddenly mention that? You’ve recovered, haven’t you?” said Nian Xi.

Nian Junting felt embarrassed.

“You’re not ill again, are you?” Nian Xi asked in surprise.

“No, I don’t know why, but my body only responds to Sangsang. My body is healthy, but… I failed the test.” Nian Junting coughed slightly without continuing.

Nian Xi opened her mouth wide in shock. “Can that really happen?”

Nian Junting didn’t know what to say.

“So, is that why Sangsang left?” Nian Xi soon figured it out. “Does she think that you’re with her for sex?”

Nian Junting still didn’t respond.

“Are you?” Nian Xi asked.

“Why do you women always ask questions like that?” said Nian Junting grumpily.

“Why wouldn’t we? I’d have the same concern if I were her,” said Nian Xi.

Nian Junting sighed. “Sangsang said that I might not even know how I really feel. I’m confused, indeed.”

Nian Xi thought for a moment and asked, “Why are you with Sangsang? Don’t tell me that she pursued you, or that she’s pretty. If you told Sangsang that, she’d be so pissed off.”

Nian Junting responded, “I’m not really sure. I just… I felt happy when we were together. I think that she’s nice, and that our kids will be outstanding…”

Nian Xi finally understood why Sangsang had left.

“Brother, if you love someone, you’ll miss her when she’s not with you. Your heart will ache when you are having a fight with her and when you watch her suffer. You’ll want to give her all the best of the world.” Nian Xi sighed. “All in all, if you love her, she’ll constantly affect your feelings, and she’ll become the source of your happiness.”

Nian Junting blinked, nodded, and said, “That’s how I feel. She left, and I feel like she has taken my heart away.”

Nian Xi looked at her brother and suddenly felt jealous of Luosang. If only Ji Chuan cared about her as much as her brother cared about Luosang. “Tell Sangsang that you love her. Tell her that even when your illness is gone, you’ll still love her, and that you’ll never betray her, not with your heart, nor your body. I think she will come back to you, and I believe that that is also the answer she’s been waiting for.” Nian Xi patted her brother on the shoulder.

Nian Junting shivered, feeling enlightened. “Will Sangsang despise me if I can’t heal myself?” Nian Junting gave a bitter smile.

Nian Xi now understood why her brother never wanted to do blind dates or start a relationship with any girl in the past few years. It was all because of his sexual dysfunction. That was also the reason why his family never put pressure on him. For men, such things could really hurt their pride.
