Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Eh-hem.” This time it was Nian Xi who nearly choked.

Looking at the chopsticks in her hand, she realized she’d forgotten to switch chopsticks when she was feeding Jiang Yuning.

Sharing chopsticks with her made him feel shy. She couldn’t imagine how shy he might be if they kissed or even slept with each other.

Somehow, Nian Xi started to expect that.

That would be very interesting.

“You just reminded me that I should be switching chopsticks.” Nian Xi calmly put down her chopsticks, picked up Jiang Yuning’s and continued feeding him.

Jiang Yuning’s beautiful face was tinged with disappointment. He obediently ate the food she put in his mouth, then said sadly, “It’s not so good anymore.”

Nian Xi almost laughed out loud. She didn’t let that happen, though. Instead, she pretended not to know why and say to him, “Really? Isn’t it the same food?”

Jiang Yuning moved his lips slightly. He wanted to explain, but didn’t.

He didn’t understand why Nian Xi pretended not to know the reason when she clearly did.

After the meal, Nian Xi dumped the trash, then sat by the bedside, peeling fruit for Jiang Yuning. Meanwhile, she said to him, “You surprised me tonight. How many things do you always carry? You even had nanometer wires in your belt. Do you have some things in your shoes too? I remember watching spy movies. They had knives in their shoes.”

“I’ve watched some of those movies too.” Jiang Yuning nodded and continued, “Those spies are good at fighting. I’m not like them. Why would I hide knives in my shoes? But I crafted my shoes myself. They’re special.”

“Yeah? How?” Nian Xi’s curiosity was instantly aroused. Were those shoes some high-tech products too?

Jiang Yuning glanced at his shoes, which were lying on the floor. He then explained, “They’re especially comfortable. I made them with a special kind of high-density sponge that has perfect softness and resilience. They’re also weightless. Apart from that, the materials I used will never wear out.”

Nian Xi wasn’t expecting to hear about a comfortable and unbreakable pair of shoes.

As she stayed silent, Jiang Yuning took this as an indication of interest in his work. He hurriedly said to her, “I’ll make you a pair if you like them.”

“Eh… thank you, but I don’t need them.” She had a lot of shoes like that.

“They’re comfortable.” Jiang Yuning thought she didn’t believe what he said, so he emphasized it very seriously and said, “You can try mine on if you want.”

Nian Xi said seriously,”Women are books that you can never read! Women always feel that their shoes are not enough, so they keep buying and replacing them. It is even quite normal that a woman owns several pairs of shoes in same style. Shoes are no need to be durable for women since they will get tired of them soon.”

Jiang Yuning blankly bit a bite of apple peeled by Nian Xi. He swallowed it and said, “If you want to change shoes frequently, I’ll try to make new shoes for you. Is it enough for you to change one pair per week? I can’t do them very quickly since I still have to do research.”

Looking at his silly appearance, Nian Xi laughed so hard that her stomach even ached

It is so funny to let a researcher make shoes!

But she was quite touched.

After all, The men who could make shoes were already going extinct.

“Why are you laughing,” Jiang Yuning was puzzled, “Don’t you believe me.”

“Of course I do,” Nian Xi managed to choke with the laugh, “But I like all kinds of shoes, sneakers, high heels, sandals… and they all have to be fashionable and shapeable, Could you do that?”
