Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Luosang’s eyes widened as she gargled. “Don’t be ridiculous.”

Without talking, Nian Junting walked around the living room and opened the TV cabinet. A bunch of barbecued snacks fell out. There were roasted eggplant, barbecued lamb skewers, and chicken wings…

“Are you planning to feed my baby these?” Nian Junting questioned her. “I don’t think pregnant mothers can eat these. Barbecued foods from the outside are extremely dirty. Haven’t I told you before? They use recycled sewage oil. The fish are not fresh and the chickens are injected with steroids. You are harming our little princess.”

Luosang lowered her head in guilt. “I only had a bit of roasted eggplant. The rest are for Su…”

“Yeah, they’re all mine.” Yan Su nodded her head quickly.

“I don’t buy it. These are too little for just you.” Nian Junting threw all the food into a trash bag. “I’m seriously thinking you went out for supper last night behind my back.”

“No, I didn’t.”

“Anyway, I can’t let you live alone anymore,” Nian Junting said coldly. “Since you don’t think it’s convenient for me to stay with you two, I’ll stay next door with your brother. We can go back to the villa when you don’t have classes.”

“Don’t.” Luosang was about to break down. She was looking forward to her freedom. “The apartment is too small and there’s not enough space for your precious body. My brother wouldn’t enjoy staying with you.”

“I’ll have to live with you then,” Nian Junting said insistently.

“Go stay with Liuxi then,” Luosang said softy.

Nian Junting grunted then walked over next door.

“What do you want?” Mo Liuxi was obviously unwelcoming towards him.

“Next time your sister goes to class, I’m going to be tagging along. It inconvenient for the girls if I stayed with them so I’m planning to stay with you,” Nian Junting said casually. “Don’t you have three rooms?”

“I’m sorry. I prefer to live on my own and we’re not that familiar with each other,” Mo Liuxi said, rejecting his proposal.

“I guess I have to call mother then.” Nian Junting fished out his phone. “Do you think I want to live with you? Your sister doesn’t listen to me and she keeps feeding herself junk food…”

“All right, you can stay with me.” Mo Liuxi had a headache. Mo Jin would definitely say yes to his request since it was for the benefit of her daughter.

“Don’t worry. Your sister doesn’t have many modules. I’ll only be staying for three days every week, up to November at the most.”

“Ok.” Mo Liuxi was annoyed.

…

Luosang already had some of Nian Junting’s clothes at her apartment, so they didn’t have to go shopping for more things. He quickly moved over in about ten minutes.

“You should rest early. I’m going back,” Luosang said. Nian Junting grabbed her wrist before she could leave.

“Sleep here tonight.”

The man was looking at her seductively and sounded bossy.

Luosang was speechless. “It would be as if I moved over too. Liuxi enjoys his peace and quiet. If I move over, we would be imposing on him.”

“I guess I should move over to your place then…”

“Why are you so troublesome?” Luosang was glaring at him. “If you don’t want to stay here, go back to the villa, but don’t bother the three of us, especially when we’re still in school.”

Nian Junting frowned. “Then stay here a little longer. Lu Kang is over there. Give him some time to talk to Yan Su.”

Mo Liuxi’s hand quivered as he held his coffee mug.

“…Ok.” Luosang gave it some thought. It would be good to give Lu Kang some time to talk to Yan Su. “Liuxi, do you mind me sitting here for a while more?”

“Whatever. I’m going to the study.” Mo Liuxi was carrying his coffee and walking into the study.

Luosang looked at his back and recalled what Yan Su said to her today; she began to worry.

If her brother’s sexual orientation was normal, it wouldn’t be healthy for him to be looking at these photos all the time.

Something would go wrong if this continued.

She thought about it, then went back to her apartment to retrieve a few books before she walked into the study.

“Where are you going? Can’t you keep me company for a little while longer?” Nian Junting grabbed her grumpily.

“I’m going to talk to Liuxi for a bit.” Luosang knocked on the study room.

“Come in.”

When Luosang walked in, Mo Liuxi close the lid of his laptop.

Was he watching those things again?

Luosang began to worry again. Xiao Si enjoyed those photos too; he was still single until now.

“What’s the matter?” Mo Liuxi looked over at her.

“Oh, what are you busy with?” Luosang tried her best to ask casually.

“…Just reading some class material.”

Mo Liuxi looked away. He was reading about things relating to men and women. He was taken aback by what happened in the morning, and he wanted to find a way to control himself. If it happened again, he would feel like an animal.

Luosang was staring at her brother; he looked a tad unnatural. She was even more certain of her assumption.

“Liuxi, I have some books that I find quite good. You can read these if you have time.”

Don’t watch those things.

“Ok.” Mo Liuxi took the books from her and placed it on the side of the table.

After a while, he noticed that Luosang hadn’t left yet. He frowned and asked, “Anything else?”

“Um… well, since you are in university now, you should enjoy yourself while you have the chance to. You should go around and make some friends…”

“I think Yan Su is your only friend. Am I right?” Mo Liuxi interrupted her.

“…”

That stung.

She wanted to make friends, but she always invited jealousy and envy from her peers.

“I don’t want you to be like me,” Luosang said sincerely. “It would nice to have some friends at the university. It’s still possible to make true friends here, unlike out there in the working world in the future. Relationships in the future will be a lot more complicated and the girls will be more realistic. If you could meet someone true to and you have feelings for, you can try getting into a relationship. Although you are an exchange student, I hope you will stay in the country in the future. Besides… you should do more aerobic exercises, it’s good for your body and mind.”

“Ok.” Mo Liuxi nodded his head.

“Also…” Luosang was about to break down but she still forcefully sputtered. “If you have those desires… you can talk to your brother-in-law about it. He was a virgin for over thirty years and he still managed fine. He’s more experienced in that aspect.”

Mo Liuxi’s expression suddenly froze.

He stood up abruptly and his gaze was piercing.

“What did Yan Su tell you today?”

Yan Su must have told Luosang about what happened in the lift in the morning. How could she go around telling people about something so private?

He thought they were even after what happened at the school gate.

Luosang was shocked that Liuxi reacted so strongly to what she said. She thought whatever Yan Su had told her must have been true.

She couldn’t admit to it. She didn’t want to strain Yan Su’s relationship with her brother anymore.
