Nian Xi appeared at a loss for words.
So, he was thinking that way.
âWell, I think heâs nice. Why donât you like him?â Nian Xi exhaled.
Nian Justing pressed his lips together silently.
How could he possibly like him? That boy had pissed him off so many times.
Luosang patted Nian Xi on the shoulder and whispered, âIgnore him. That boy is so outstanding even someone like your brother can be jealous of him at times.â
âI get it.â Nian Xi was enlightened.
Pulling a long face, Nian Junting said, âXu Luosang, what are you talking about? Iâm jealous of Jiang Yuning? Thatâs absurd. Is he as good-looking as I am? Is he as good at making money as I am? Is his EQ as high as mine...â
Luosang interrupted him impatiently and said, âCan you get a girl out of a sealed room on the ninth floor thatâs on fire?â
Nian Junting clenched his fists, coughed slightly, then changed the topic. âSince youâre okay, I think Iâm gonna go,â he said to Nian Xi. âNext week is Appleâs hundred-day-old party. Donât forget.â
âBrother dear, you still havenât answered your wifeâs question.â Nian Xi didnât plan to let him off the hook so easily.
Nian Junting felt humiliated. He glared at her and answered truthfully, âI canât do that.â
âWell, when choosing a boyfriend, I think the most important thing is that the boy can protect you,â said Luosang blandly. âJiang Yuning saved your life. He did it. So, I think you can seriously think about the thing between you and that boy.â
Nian Xi hesitated with a surprised expression and couldnât help but ask, âWhat about shared interests and all that other stuff?â
âDo you really think your brother and I have any shared interests?â Luosang threw the question right back at her.
âYouâre right,â said Nian Xi. âMy brother can end a conversation with three words. How did you manage to get along with him? I was shocked at first.â
âWhat do you mean?â Nian Junting wasnât happy hearing that. âIâm still here, holding our son, alright?â
The two girls ignored him. Luosang said to Nian Xi, âSometimes, you donât need shared interests and goals. I think tolerance is more important. Your brother likes movies and TV shows about the Anti-Japanese War, but I never watch them. Every time he talks to me about how great the Chinese armies are or how marvelous a commander was, I listen to him while doing other things and then forget about it immediately.â
Ahem. Looking at her brotherâs sourpuss, Nian Xi couldnât help clearing her throat to remind Luosang. âSangsang, my brotherâs still here.â
Smiling indifferently, Nian Junting added, âI didnât know you never listened to what I was saying.â
Luosang rolled her eyes and answered, âStop it. Iâm just trying to tell Xi about how a couple should get along with each other.â
âWhat you said isnât right,â Nian Junting said angrily.
âOkaay. So then let me ask you something: What shared interest do you think we have?â asked Luosang.
Hmm. Nian Junting spent some time pondering this question but failed to come up with one thing.
âSex?â
Nian Xi, who was taking a swig of water, did a spit take at her brotherâs answer.
Luosangâs cheeks turned bright red. She regretted asking that question.
âThat doesnât count...â
âNo, it doesnât.â Nian Junting suddenly got interested in that topic. âEvery time we quarrel, we make up by having fantastic sex. Besides, having sex has brought us closer to each other. So I would say that harmony between a couple is very important.â
Luosang went silent.
He was right.
As the conversation became racier, Nian Xi felt like crying. âBrother, Sangsang. If your only shared interest is sex, whatâs been keeping you guys together all this time?â
