âEh-hem.â This time it was Nian Xi who nearly choked.
Looking at the chopsticks in her hand, she realized sheâd forgotten to switch chopsticks when she was feeding Jiang Yuning.
Sharing chopsticks with her made him feel shy. She couldnât imagine how shy he might be if they kissed or even slept with each other.
Somehow, Nian Xi started to expect that.
That would be very interesting.
âYou just reminded me that I should be switching chopsticks.â Nian Xi calmly put down her chopsticks, picked up Jiang Yuningâs and continued feeding him.
Jiang Yuningâs beautiful face was tinged with disappointment. He obediently ate the food she put in his mouth, then said sadly, âItâs not so good anymore.â
Nian Xi almost laughed out loud. She didnât let that happen, though. Instead, she pretended not to know why and say to him, âReally? Isnât it the same food?â
Jiang Yuning moved his lips slightly. He wanted to explain, but didnât.
He didnât understand why Nian Xi pretended not to know the reason when she clearly did.
After the meal, Nian Xi dumped the trash, then sat by the bedside, peeling fruit for Jiang Yuning. Meanwhile, she said to him, âYou surprised me tonight. How many things do you always carry? You even had nanometer wires in your belt. Do you have some things in your shoes too? I remember watching spy movies. They had knives in their shoes.â
âIâve watched some of those movies too.â Jiang Yuning nodded and continued, âThose spies are good at fighting. Iâm not like them. Why would I hide knives in my shoes? But I crafted my shoes myself. Theyâre special.â
âYeah? How?â Nian Xiâs curiosity was instantly aroused. Were those shoes some high-tech products too?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Yuning glanced at his shoes, which were lying on the floor. He then explained, âTheyâre especially comfortable. I made them with a special kind of high-density sponge that has perfect softness and resilience. Theyâre also weightless. Apart from that, the materials I used will never wear out.â
Nian Xi wasnât expecting to hear about a comfortable and unbreakable pair of shoes.
As she stayed silent, Jiang Yuning took this as an indication of interest in his work. He hurriedly said to her, âIâll make you a pair if you like them.â
âEh... thank you, but I donât need them.â She had a lot of shoes like that.
âTheyâre comfortable.â Jiang Yuning thought she didnât believe what he said, so he emphasized it very seriously and said, âYou can try mine on if you want.â
Nian Xi said seriously,âWomen are books that you can never read! Women always feel that their shoes are not enough, so they keep buying and replacing them. It is even quite normal that a woman owns several pairs of shoes in same style. Shoes are no need to be durable for women since they will get tired of them soon.â
Jiang Yuning blankly bit a bite of apple peeled by Nian Xi. He swallowed it and said, âIf you want to change shoes frequently, Iâll try to make new shoes for you. Is it enough for you to change one pair per week? I canât do them very quickly since I still have to do research.â
Looking at his silly appearance, Nian Xi laughed so hard that her stomach even ached
It is so funny to let a researcher make shoes!
But she was quite touched.
After all, The men who could make shoes were already going extinct.
âWhy are you laughing,â Jiang Yuning was puzzled, âDonât you believe me.â
âOf course I do,â Nian Xi managed to choke with the laugh, âBut I like all kinds of shoes, sneakers, high heels, sandals... and they all have to be fashionable and shapeable, Could you do that?â
