Luosang recalled that her brother was only starting school after the Lantern Festival. As Nian Xi was going to be in the hospital for a week, she would probably have to stay there to take care of her. She was glad that there was soone to take care of Little Apple while she was away, although she was curious to find out what happened at his girlfriends house.
During dinner, Nian Junting called her, Im going to the police station before coming over later.
Alright, Luosang said as she had her dinner.
Are you eating? Nian Junting asked as he could hear the sound of her chewing.
Luosang looked over at Jiang Yuning who was spoon-feeding Nian Xi. He was so ticulous and sweeta spoonful of rice followed by a spoonful of toppings. He was even more patient than she was with Little Apple.
She sighed and said, Nope, Im full from looking at the public display of affection right here.
Nian Junting took a mont to get what she was saying. I thought we were the masters at public displays of affection?
Yeah, well soone else is one-upping us today.
Nian Junting paused before saying, Are you saying that you miss ? Do you want so hugs or kisses?
Luosang kept quiet.
Why did he twist her words again?
Behave yourself. Ill be there soon after I go to the police station. Muah, Nian Junting said quickly.
He hung up imdiately and Luosang nearly choked on her food.
So ti had passed since then.
At seven oclock, Feng Jichuan, Zhan Hong, and Cheng Jing went over to visit Nian Xi.
The three of them brought along a bunch of tonics and fruits. Feng Jichuan was carrying a bouquet of tulips in his hands as well. The hospital ward reeks of disinfectant and chemicals. I thought flowers would help clear the air a little. Maybe itll make you feel better and more comfortable too.
Thank you Nian Xi said. She looked at him with gratitude as she laid on her bed.
She knew about everything he had done for her the night before. He was even more mature and sweet to her after they broke up.
But they were now a thing of the past.
Jiang Yuning was standing on the side as he frowned anxiously. He didnt know what else to do so he continued reading from his phone, The night was dark and the moon hung high. It was the perfect opportunity to kill soone, with the wind blowing in the night sky
Everyone looked at him strangely. Cheng Jing asked, Professor Jiang, what are you doing?
Im reading Battle Of the Heavens to Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning replied, looking innocent.
Oh my goodness, thats a really long book, isnt it? Zhan Hong said, When I read that book, I skimd through it really quickly but it still took about a week to finish it. Youre going to take forever if youre reading it word for word, line by line.
Jiang Yuning shook his head, Its alright, as long as Nian Xi enjoys it. After this, Im planning to read Jin i to her as wellshe likes it.
The room fell awkwardly silent.
Nian Xi wanted to crawl underneath the bed out of embarrassnt. She was just teasing him in the afternoon but he took her seriously, and right there and then, he had exposed her in front of everyone
She was being judged by all of them.
She glared at Jiang Yuning who didnt notice her at all; he was busy staring at Feng Jichuan.
Feng Jichuan clenched his fists and cleared his throat before saying, Its not good to read that book. Its a forbidden book, full of taboos. One of you is a police officer and one of you is a scientistyou should be reading sothing more positive and educational.
He is just joking, Nian Xi said sheepishly as she threw Jiang Yuning another look.
He caught it this ti and quickly nodded, I was just joking. Its getting late, we should be watching the news now. Mr. Feng, I think its ti for you to go back.
Feng Jichuan was dumbstruckwhat has watching the news got to do with him going ho? He retorted, Im sorry, I dont watch the news.
Jiang Yuning was speechless.
