“Mr. Nian, you have a lot of army friends. Last time, I heard from Lu Kang that Xiaosi was a gift from an army friend of yours.”
“Em.” Hearing Luosang mentioning that man, Nian Junting frowned slightly. But soon, he chuckled and responded, “Already trying to know about my friends? You haven’t even known me well enough yet. Be patient. I know you’re doing all of this for me. Sooner or later, you’ll get to meet my friends.”
Luosang didn’t say anything, but felt like beating him.
…
After five minutes of walking, Luosang saw a giant, off-road vehicle parked under a tree.
She got in the car, buckled up, then glanced at the backseat and asked, “Didn’t you bring Xiaosi?”
“Nope.” As he had successfully made her sit by his side willingly, he couldn’t think of a reason to bring the dog again. “You’ll see him later, and Sister Lan,” he said.
“You’re not taking me to the villa for a meal, are you?” The corner of Luosang’s mouth twitched slightly, as she felt a little unfortable.
“Yeah. The food outside isn’t hygienic,” he glanced at her, then started the car. “It’s clean and safe to eat at home. Didn’t you always say that you like Sister Lan’s food the most? Earlier I called her and told her that I’d bring you back for dinner. She’s happy about it. After the call she went to the market to buy the vegetables that you like. You see, how can you disappoint her?”
“Does Sister Lan know what I like?” Luosang rubbed her own forehead and said sarcastically, “Thanks to you, we used to eat your leftovers. I guess Sister Lan only knows that I have a good appetite for tofu and cabbage.”
…
“I was troubled by my physical inconvenience at that time, so I was often in a bad mood,” Nian Junting explained.
“So you’ll make people live on tofu and cabbage when you’re unhappy. Got it.” Luosang said knowingly, “Back then, Xiaosi could eat beef noodles while I was only allowed to watch him. That part of my life remains fresh in my memory.”
Nian Junting frowned slightly.
This woman can really bear grudges. She’s even mentioning something happened so long ago.
“Em, I can see that you’re quite unhappy about it. Should I make Xiaosi watch you eat tonight?” he asked.
Luosang was speechless.
“That’s a deal then. You can do whatever you want to Xiaosi tonight, and I won’t mind. After all, Xiaosi can’t be pared with you,” he gave a smile and continued. Then, he looked forward and said, “Alright, don’t disturb me, I need to focus on driving.”
Looking at his perfect side profile, Luosang cursed him in her head over and over again.
I don’t want Xiaosi to watch me eat. Xiaosi didn’t bully me back then—you did! So shameless.
The more she thought about that, the unhappier she was. At last, she said grumpily, “I don’t want to have dinner in Tianhu Villa. It’s too far away. I need to e back at night.”
“I didn’t say that you can’t e back. What are you thinking about?” Nian Junting kept looking straight ahead and said, “I just want to have dinner together with you somewhere quiet. Don’t overthink. And Sister Lan really misses you. You saw her yesterday. Don’t you feel that she has lost some weight? She told me that it’s because you’re not with her and she’s unused to it.”
Luosang remembered the days she spent with Sister Lan, and felt that she was truly a nice person. Before, Sister Lan always sneakily save good food for her. However, recalling Sister Lan yesterday, Luosang’s face darkened slightly.
“I don’t think Sister Lan has lost weight. She looked just the same as before,” she said.
“She did lose weight. She told me that herself,” Nian Junting said. “Maybe you just can’t tell.”
Luosang pressed her lips together. She didn’t say anything, but started paying attention to her phone instead.
