After finishing a plateful of prawns, Nian Xi found herself unable to stand how her brother advertised his relationship with Luosang. Therefore, she lowered her head to make her phone ring, then walked to the side to pretend to answer a call. Then, she came back to the table and said, âThe police station just called me. Thereâs a new case, so I need to go. Brother, you stay here to enjoy the food with Sangsang; donât forget to send her back later.â
After saying that, she felt that she was truly a nice sister. Her brother wouldnât shell her prawns, but still, she helped him.
Thinking that she would be spending time with Nian Junting alone, Luosangâs heart missed a beat. âAre you leaving already?â she said to Nian Xi, then turned to Nian Junting and continued, âI think we should leave as well. Nian Xi didnât drive her car. You should give her a ride.
âNo need. Sheâs a policewoman, therefore knows how to fight, so sheâs absolutely safe.â Nian Junting didnât move.
âYeah, and Iâm still in uniform. No one is safer than me.â Nian Xi worried that if she stayed for another minute, she would never want to talk to her brother again. âSangsang, Iâll find you in your dorm tomorrow morning, donât turn off your phone.â
After Nian Xi left, both Luosang and Nian Junting fell in silence. Some other people started singing.
Nian Junting tapped the table with his fingers, recalling what he had read from the sweet talk books. He had learned quite some loverâs honeyed words which could melt a girlâs heart, but he wasnât sure about what to say at this very moment.
He thought for a while, then began talking slowly. âThis song is so unpleasant to hear. After hearing you sing, I find no one sings better than you do.â
âEh-hem,â Luosang was drinking water. Hearing his words, she shivered and spouted the water in her mouth. A few drops even splashed on Nian Juntingâs face.
âSo-sorry!â The startled Luosang hurriedly took a tissue to wipe his face.
Nian Junting was going to get angry, as no one had ever dared to spit on his face.
However, as she got close to him, her soft skin rubbed against his cheek and the anger in his heart was gone.
âNever mind,â he said.
Luosang sighed in relief. After sitting down again, she couldnât help but say to him, âMr. Nian, I remember that last time, I made it clear with you. What you did tonight...â
âDid you like it?â Nian Junting interrupted her and raised his eyes to look at her. âYou said that the husbands who shell prawns for their wives are good.â
Under his gaze, Luosang lowered her head and responded with, âBut...youâre not my husband.â
âAnything is possible.â Nian Junting gave a smile and said, âIâve been thinking a lot these days. You refused me because youâre poorly tasted. As for the feeling thing you mentioned, I donât believe in it. I believe in charm. Iâm an outstanding man, so youâll easily fall in love with me if you spend some time with me.â
Luosang felt a little speechless about his confidence which was established quickly.
âEh...â
âAlright, from now on, Iâll be shelling all your prawns,â Nian Junting smiled, looking straight into her eyes.
Luosang wasnât able to stay calm.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before, Nian Junting always said mean words to her, but today, his words had thumped her heart and made her feel so sweet for a few times in a row.
âItâs nearly one oâclock. I have class in the morning, so I need to go back to the dorm,â Luosang stood up and said.
âItâs so late, I think your dorm would be closed already,â Nian Junting tapped his watched and said, âYou should go back with me and stay in the villa for tonight. Iâll send you to school tomorrow morning.â
âI donât think my dorm is closed...â Luosang bit her lips. She didnât want to go back with him, because she believed that if she did, her relationship with him would become too complicated.
