âOh?â Nian Xi smiled and answered, âThen how come heâs so talkative with me?â
âThatâs why youâre his girlfriend.â He Xinâs mouth corners twitched slightly.
Nian Xi was at a loss to say anything.
She couldnât figure out what was going through He Xinâs mind.
Were all smart girls this difficult?
Nian Xi didnât want to spend time conspiring against her. Instead, she crooked her finger toward Jiang Yuning and said to him, âCome here.â
âXi, what do you want me to do?â Jiang Yuning shuffled toward her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCanât I call you for no reason?â Nian Xi pushed her porridge toward him and said, âHere, have some.â
âNo,â Jiang Yuning shook his head. âYou havenât had lunch yet. I donât want you to be hungry.â
âIâve had enough. Just take some, please.â Nian Xi scooped up some porridge and put it into his mouth.
Jiang Yuning hurriedly swallowed it. He dropped the rice, took over her porridge, then said to her carefully, âXi, are you still mad at me?â
âAsk my brother.â Nian Xi couldnât help saying that to him.
âI will visit him after I figure out what caused the accident,â said Jiang Yuning stubbornly. âOr I wouldnât be able to give him an explanation.â
For the first time, Nian Xi found him pretty stubborn.
âXi, you should have some of this too. I donât want you to be hungry,â Jiang Yuning brought some porridge to her lips.
Nian Xi had no appetite. However, as He Xi was sitting there and watching her, she shared the porridge with Jiang Yuning and occasionally put some egg tart and chicken feet into his mouth.
Watching that, He Xin was shocked. Before, Jiang Yuning never agreed to eat any meat, no matter how hard she tried to persuade him. Now, he even ate chicken feet.
Nian Xi was satisfied to see the fake smile plastered on He Xinâs face.
At that point, she was almost sure He Xin liked Jiang Yuning.
She didnât know if the robot accident was intentional, but she knew that she needed to stay vigilant against He Xin.
As Jiang Yuning and Nian Xi finished eating, He Xin said to Jiang Yuning, âYuning, if youâre finished, letâs get back to programming.â
Jiang Yuning nodded. Before he stood up, Nian Xi said to He Xin, âMs. He, you created the robot single-handedly, so Iâm sure you can figure out the problem by yourself. The cause was simply a program. Even if you found out and told me about it, I wouldnât understand. I think you should bring the robot home with you. After all, I donât want it anymore, whether you can repair it or not.â
Her tone was so frosty that He Xin could barely keep the smile on her face.
âMs. Nian, it seems that you donât like me. Of course, I understand. There might be a misunderstanding between us, but you donât need to be so brusk, because Yuning and I will still have to see each other a lot even after you marry him.â
Nian Xi furrowed her brows.
He Xin continued with, âYuningâs father and my father are both biologists. They spend more time together than my mom ever spent with my father. My project is similar to Yuningâs. The social circle of scientists in the country is small. We often attend academic conferences together.â
Nian Xi was silent and looked at Jiang Yuning.
Nodding, Jiang Yuning glanced at He Xin. At last, he pulled Nian Xiâs sleeve and said, âLetâs talk outside.â
Nian Xi turned and walked out. Her head was even pounding at the moment.
She had no idea that He Xinâs family and Jiang Yuningâs family were friends.
Did that mean that He Xin would often show up in Jiang Yuningâs lab?
...
The two of them walked straight into Jiang Yuningâs bedroom.
Behind the closed door, Nian Xi folded her arms and stared at Jiang Yuning expressionlessly.
