On the other end of the phone, there was a long pause before a shrill shriek, âAhhhh, oh my god! You guys are already sleeping together after one night? Whatâs the rush? Have you got any condoms on you? Iâm not ready to be an aunty so fast!â
She didnât think that someone as pretentious as her brother would score a girl in bed so quickly. Call her a prude, but she wasnât used to such liberal methods.
Luosang was jolted awake by her loud voice, âI said I was sleeping at the Tianhu Villa, who said anything about sleeping under your brotherâs covers?â
This pair of siblings really drove her crazy.
âAlright, I know youâre embarrassed. You donât have to explain yourself to me, and looking at the chemistry between you two last night, I can understand if you have to satisfy each otherâs desires,â Nian Xi said after calming herself down.
Understand?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luosang was blushing now, âI had nowhere to go last night, and the hostel was closed. Thatâs the only reason why Iâm staying here, besides, Iâm sleeping by myself in the guestroom.â
âOh I see, I misunderstood the situation,â Nian Xi said regretfully, âI thought my brother had a brilliant moment of realization and decided to go ahead with the relationship.â
The corner of Luosangâs mouth was twitching uncomfortably, âI can come over right now but youâll have to wait for a while.â
âNo worries. Iâll go over to the hostel to make a quick investigation of the witnessesâ testimonies. Iâll tell the girls involved that we found new evidence to prove that you were innocent, and that Iâll be going over their statements to iron out any creases. You have to pretend that you donât know me when we meet later. Remember, youâre the victim and Iâm just the police officer that the station sent.â
âGot it.â She knew that Nian Xi wanted to ensure her credibility.
When she walked out of her room, a table full of breakfast dishes greeted her.
Nian Junting was sitting at the edge of the table feeding meat to Xiao Si. He looked extra casual today; white sneakers, grey trousers, and a velvety red jacket. He was wearing a crisp white shirt on the inside and accessorized with a casual watch. He looked extremely fashionable.
âMr Nian...your outfit...â Luosang stammered.
âIâll accompany you to school today. Obviously I canât be wearing a full business suit, so I just randomly picked a casual outfit to go with the occasion,â Nian Junting looked over at her. When he saw her surprised expression, he grinned to himself.
Sister Lan looked at him in disbelief after hearing what he just said. Randomly? He had spent the entire morning rummaging through his closet just to find a suitable outfit to send Luosang to school. The closet was in a complete mess now.
âYouâre coming to school with me?â Luosang was so shocked she had forgotten to greet Sister Lan, âI think Iâm good. You can just drop me at the gates.â
âI donât trust Nian Xi alone with the case given her lack of experience and intellect. Iâll have to go and guide her along. Besides, after all that youâve been through yesterday, Iâm sure that the perpetrators wonât let you off easily. They must be spreading vicious gossip about you around the campus. Even with Nian Xi there, youâll surely be bullied if you go back now. Iâm not sure youâll be able to cope with the judgement of everyone then,â Nian Junting shook his head.
âYeah Sansan, let him accompany you to school,â Sister Lan added. âOh right, Mr. Nian asked his secretary to deliver a set of clothes for you. You can wear that instead of your sleeping wear. Hurry along, I left it on the sofa for you.â
âOk, thanks Sister Lan,â Luosang didnât think it was good idea to wear her pajamas to school either.
