Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“I thought we were going to talk about this… after your competition?” Mo Liuxi stuttered sheepishly.

“Yeah, but since it came up in conversation today, I just want to know something,” Yan Su said in a low voice. “You haven’t thought about what to say, have you? Or were you just lying to me when you told me that you were drunk?”

“Of course not,” Mo Liuxi replied. “I had too much to drink that day when I woke up. She was just lying there next to me.”

Yan Su’s heart sank. Was he that unlucky to have that happen to him twice?

If it was true, he might be too easy. Although she did it once also, she was still sour about it. “Can you tell me then, when did it happen?”

“Why do you want the details?” Mo Liuxi was frustrated. “Anyway, it didn’t happen when we were together. If you have to ask me for an exact date, I think… it was not long after my sister got married. You were around that night as well.”

“I was there too?” Yan Su felt as if she was struck by lightning.

Although the two of them were from the same school, they rarely saw each other outside, not to mention drinks, except for that night they spent together.

“That night… when we were celebrating the student council head’s birthday. Zhang Hongchuan dragged me there.” Mo Liuxi said. “I had drunk too much and was totally wasted. When I woke up, I was in the room above the club and An Ning, that b*tch, was next to me.”

“…”

Total silence…Mo Liuxi could hear his heart pound. “Yan Su, are you bothered by that? I have to tell you, you don’t have a right to be. You even had a child with Shi Xiang.”

Yan Su ignored this nonsense. Her brain was buzzing and she could hear a ringing sound in her ears. Her thoughts were running wild and her head hurt.

She was silly. She was the one who’d slept with him that night. She left first thing in the morning. Why was An Ning the one lying next to him when he woke up? How did An Ning get in there? She remembered shutting the door when she left. Did she leave the door ajar, or did An Ning sneak in?

When she went into the room, did she just lie there, or did she do it with Mo Liuxi?

She had been very jealous at first, but now she just felt kind of bad for Mo Liuxi.

“Yan Su, say something. What do you mean by your silence?” Mo Liuxi was getting more anxious and angry.

“No, I’m just thinking about something.” Yan Su rubbed her head. “Can you tell me more about that night? Did you do it with An Ning when you woke up in the morning?”

“I don’t want to talk about that night anymore.” Mo Liuxi didn’t want to say that he enjoyed himself that night. “Of course, I didn’t do anything with An Ning in the morning, I nearly went crazy when I woke up. If not for my strong emotions, I might have ended up in the hospital from shock. But… I always felt as if it wasn’t her that night; it wasn’t her that I slept with… But she kept insisting that it was her first time that night and she would cry and cry. I felt bad whenever she sobbed, although I hated her, I still felt as if I had to take some responsibility. After a while, I realized that our personalities were drastically incompatible and she was a pathological liar. She always had to take things to the extreme.”

“Oh my God,” Yan Su was muttering.

“Right, oh my God.” Mo Liuxi sighed. “I don’t know what rotten luck I had to meet someone like An Ning.”

“Yeah…”

By now, Yan Su pieced together most of what had happened that night. She wondered if Mo Liuxi would want to murder her if he found out the truth about that night.
