Nian Xi couldnât help but ask, âHow can you hear me talking, then?â
Jiang Yuning pressed his lips together, then wroteâYou are pretty, and your voice is pleasant. After showing the note to Nian Xi, he stared straight into her eyes.
Nian Xi was reminded of the line which was famous on the internet recentlyâOh my God, the teenage girl in my heart is awake! She scratched her own scalp awkwardly, then responded, âIâm going to sleep.â
Jiang Yuning followed her to the door. Nian Xi directly turned back and closed the door for him.
...
Nian Junting went back upstairs sullenly. Luosang had just taken a shower. Seeing him pulling a long face, she asked, âWho made you unhappy?â
A few cold words escaped Nian Juntingâs thin lips, âNian Xiâs boyfriend.â
âIs Ji Chuan here?â
âNo, itâs a strange man. Iâve never seen him before.â Nian Junting narrowed his eyes and said, âHeâs so impolite. I talked to him, but he ignored me. He didnât even look at me.â
Luosang paused for a second, then said, âStop joking. We heard her talking about Ji Chuan just a couple of hours ago. It sounds that theyâre about to get back together.â
âIâm serious.â Nian Junting told her how Nian Xi had met Jiang Yuning that night. âI bet he planned all this, because he likes Nian Xi. Heâs pursuing her in this way. I know my sister very well. Sometimes, she can be so dumb that I donât even like her. But after all, she and I share the same blood. Sheâs surely much more outstanding than ordinary women, so itâs normal for her to have suitors.â
âI doubt that.â Luosang thought for a moment, then said, âMaybe that guy is autistic or has some problem with interpersonal communication. Iâve read some psychology books about those kinds of issues.â
âYeah.â Nian Junting frowned. âThen Iâll never let Nian Xi be with him.â
Luosang rolled her eyes. âHe didnât say that heâs pursuing Nian Xi, did he?â
âNian Xi is so pretty. Of course heâs pursuing her,â said Nian Junting affirmatively.
âIâm gonna sleep.â Luosang decided not to argue with him. Instead, she pulled up the blanket to cover herself.
Nian Junting quickly got into bed, held her, and said, âIâm serious. Heâs ugly, but more importantly, he has this awful presence.â
âMm, hm.â Luosang nodded. She was so sleepy.
...
The next day, they freshened up and went downstairs together. Nian Xi was already sitting behind the dinner table listlessly, her head resting on her palms. She had a pair of dark circles under her eyes.
âIsnât your guest up yet?â Luosang asked.
âHeâs here.â Nian Xi continued, pointing behind Luosang with her chin, âHeâs up. Heâs freshening up in the bathroom.â
Luosang turned back to see a tall, slim man. His face was as delicate as a piece of china, and his eyes were as clear as a pool of water. She was a little stunned. Ugly? Awful presence? Nian Juntingâs words are indeed not trustworthy, she thought.
âWhy are you looking at him? Heâs so ugly. Thereâs nothing to look at.â Nian Junting turned her face back as she had stared at Jiang Yuning for more than three seconds.
âHe is extremely handsome, okay?â Luosang couldnât help but say so.
Nian Junting covered his forehead with a hand. âYou think so because you have poor taste. After all, you even fell for Yi Jingxi.â
Luosang turned her head away and saw Jiang Yuning quietly sit beside Nian Xi. His thick and curling eyelashes still had tiny water drops on them. Those water drops even made Luosangâs eyes sparkle. He was so pretty.
Nian Junting got angry. He glared at Nian Xi and said, âWhen are you gonna take him away?â
âAt least let me finish my breakfast.â Nian Xi couldnât sleep last night, so she felt as if her brain was swelling now.
