âGreat, great... Sister-in-law, youâre so nice.â Nian Xi wanted to cry. âYou know what? Earlier, my brother peeled fruits for you every day. I wanted to eat some, but he wouldnât let me. I spent a time begging him, and only then did he give me some sour grapefruits.â
Sister-in-law...
Luosang blushed and said, âDonât call me that.â
âNo can do. I finally have a sister-in-law whoâs nice to me. Iâll call you that every day so you can never leave.â
Nian Si sighed sadly and continued, âThe sisters-in-law in TV series are all mean. They love to urge their husbands to take the the possessions of their brothers and sisters. But thankfully, Sangsang is a good person.â
What kind of TV series are you watching? The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she turned to look at Nian Junting. She hoped he would say something to his sister.
To her surprise, Nian Junting took out his phone, nodded, and said, âGood. Iâll give you some money via WeChat.â
âThank you! Brother!â Nian Xi held her face with both hands and happily sprung up from the couch.
Luosang was speechless.
She was peeling an orange the whole time, but Nian Xi got awardedâwhy?
âWhy are you looking at me? I was going to give you money too, but you always refuse my kindness. You wouldnât even let me rent out a flat for you. You wonât accept my money. Iâll just not give you any, in case you need to return it to me,â Nian Junting said, glancing at Luosang.
Luosang turned back to continue to peel the orange, but inside, she was crying silently.
She would accept his money, as long as he didnât make the amount too huge.
Mr. Nian, I think you misunderstood me.
Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said to her brother, âYou can give her small amounts of money, like five-hundred and twenty, one-thousand, three-hundred and fourteen... those lovely numbers. My God, my sister-in-law, did you receive any red envelope money from my brother before you became his girlfriend? Ji Chuan sends me red envelopes every Valentineâs Day.â
âJi Chuan?â Luosang paused briefly, then smiled, and asked, âDo you have a boyfriend?â
âHeâs my fiance,â said Nian Xi.
Nian Xi chuckled and hurriedly took out her phone to show Luosang Ji Chuanâs photo, then said, âHis father and my father were friends in the army. We knew each other since we were little, so we engaged when we were kids. Heâs really handsomeâlook. He and my brother were army friends.â
Luosang took a close look at the photo. The man in the photo was wearing a military uniform and saluting. He stood straight, looked handsome, cold, and proud. His skin was tan, and his brows were as beautiful as swords while eyes were as bright as the stars; his face was perfect and manly shaped.
âHeâs really a handsome man,â Luosang said, making a reasonable comment. âHe looks way too good in his uniforms. That is uniform temptation.â
âYeah, I think he looks super hot in his uniform too.â Nian Xi laughed and said, âI have other photos of him; would you like to see?â
âSure.â
Seeing the two girls get closer and closer to each other, Nian Junting took away the peeled orange in Luosangâs hands with discontent.
âBrother, what are you doing? My sister-in-law peeled that for me,â Nian Xi said while she glared at him.
âDidnât I give you money? The orange is mine.â Nian Junting tore off a large piece of the orange and put it into his mouth.
Luosang hadnât peeled him any fruit in a long time. The orange she peeled tasted as good as it always did.
Nian Xi got angry, feeling that her brother was so unreasonable.
âStop looking at the photos. The meal is ready. You can just look at me. Iâm much more handsome than hi.,â Nian Junting dragged Luosang up from the couch and walked toward the dining table.
Luosang said speechlessly, âReally? Are you even jealous of Nian Xiâs fiance?â
Nian Junting nodded and said, âYes, I am. You canât call any man handsome but me.â
