Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

In the next few days, Luosang found that she had really become like a punchline at school. Wherever she went, people pointed fingers at her. What made her feel sadder was that Nian Junting seemed to have disappeared from the world without leaving even a trace.

Murong Cheng had called her and asked what happened. She felt pretty sorry for the fact that Luosang wasn’t going to become her daughter-in-law. However, she had been through the same and understood that two people going on and off was a normal thing. Even some married couples had to divorce in the end, not to mention the people in mere relationships. After all, Luosang was still young.

Nian Xi went to school to see Luosang in person and asked her, “Sangsang, my brother said that you two have broken up. What happened? Didn’t you accept his proposal?”

“Did he… say that?” Luosang felt so bitter. Nian Junting seemed to have agreed to break up with her.

“Yeah, he said that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make you change your mind, so he gave up,” said Nian Xi with discontent. “How could he just give up? He should spend at least one year or even half a year to try to win you back.”

Luosang really wanted to nod to agree. She was touched by what he said that day through the broadcast in school, but in the end, he gave up so easily. However, she still said, “We are really not perfect matches for each other.”

“So why did you sleep together?” asked Nian Xi grumpily. “My brother has taken advantage of you, but that’s not important. What’s important is, did my brother give you a good sum of money? He should make good arrangements for his ex-girlfriend. He should buy you an apartment or a house, and make arrangements for the rest of your life. It’s good that you broke up with him. You’ll get nothing good from him, anyway.”

“Eh-hem…” Luosang winced awkwardly. She thought that Nian Xi would try to make peace between them, but to her surprise…”We were in a normal relationship. It was a normal thing for us to sleep with each other. It’s also normal for us to break up, because we’re not good matches for each other. No one suffered losses. If what you said just now was the rule, no guy would have the courage to start a relationship.” Luosang laughed.

“You’re right.” Nian Xi sighed, feeling very upset. “I wanted you to be my sister-in-law. But I know that my brother isn’t a good guy, so I can’t force you. I’m really worried that my brother might be obsessed with some complicated woman someday, and that she might cast her greedy eyes on my money and property like those women in TV series.”

Luosang didn’t know what to say. Her future sister-in-law did have lots of money and property. How awful do you think your brother is? she wondered.

“Don’t worry, I’ll find you a good man.” Nian Xi patted her on the shoulder.

Luosang couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t your brother tell you why we broke up?”

Nian Xi paused for a second, then soon figured it out. “You didn’t fall in love with another guy, did you?”

Luosang stayed silent. Police officers do think faster than others, she thought.

Nian Xi looked at her, staying silent as well.

As Luosang was expecting her blame, Nian Xi opened her mouth, sighed, and said, “That’s reasonable. After spending time with someone like my brother, you really will find that there are so many good men out there.”

Luosang honestly didn’t know how to respond.

“Relax, I’m not an unreasonable person. I grew up with him and sometimes, I even wanted to kill him with a broom,” said Nian Xi. “Even dog poop is less annoying than he is.”

The corners of Luosang’s mouth twitched. “In fact… he’s not that bad.”

“I don’t know, but my mother doesn’t like him, either. She always says that she might have done something awful in her previous life, so she had him as a punishment in this life.” Nian Xi smiled bitterly. “I can only say that he has a good heart, but he didn’t treat me, his sister, as a precious princess and didn’t treat my mom like a queen. Shouldn’t guys do that?”
