Chapter 34. Can''t You See that Luosang Likes Me?
During the sponge bath, Nian Junting felt a little ufortable because the stewards hands were too rough, not as soft and tender as Luosangs. Her hands felt like silk on his skin.
Also the steward was too heavy-handed, not as gentle as Luosang.
Furthermore, the steward had a strange scent, which was nothing like the refreshing aroma that he could sense from Luosang when she got near him. He really didnt like the scent from the steward.
So, Nian Junting nced at the steward in dislike. The steward was frightened badly as he didnt know what he did wrong.
After the sponge bath, Nian Junting went out of the bathroom and saw Nian Xi talking to Luosang by a window.
Lets go put on fireworks, ignore my brother, she said.
I hired her to take of me, not to y with you, Nian Junting pulled a long face and said without showing any patience or gentleness some brothers would show to their little sisters.
Theres only our father and grandparents in this house, who am I supposed to y with? Nian Xi stomped her foot and pouted, saying, The steward will take care of you anyway.
No, Nian Junting turned down her request, then said to Luosang, Luosang, go get me some grapefruit, I want some.
So grapefruit-peeling again. He has eaten four grapefruits in one day. Cant he get tired of that? What a grapefruit-eating monster, thought Luosang.
Excuse me, Miss. Nian, I need to peel grapefruits, Luosang gave Nian Xi a very helpless smile and said.
Looking at her back, Nianxi felt deeply sorry for her. Brother, can I borrow Sister Luosang for half a day tomorrow afternoon? said Nianxi to her brother, I think Sister Luosang is really a nice person, but shes thirty and is still unmarried. Tomorrow, Aunt Rongs son wille to visit Grandpa, and I want to introduce him to Sister Luosang. I n to take them to a movie, as a hot film will be on tomorrow. Maybe theyll like each other.
Aunt Rong used to be their grandmothers carer. She was really nice, so her entire family was taken care of by the Nian Family. Her son was named Rong Ye, thirty-four years old. He had contracted for an orchard, and had been managing it well. He wasnt bad-looking, and was unmarried.
Nian Junting paused briefly when hearing his sister, and soon began shaking his head.
Brother, dont be so cruel. Its only gonna be one afternoon. Perhaps, one decision of yours will lead to a wonderful marriage, Nian Xi begged him, Rong Ye is gentle and hardworking, while Sister Luosang is kind and capable. I really think theyll be a good match.
Luosang wont like Rong Ye, said Nian Junting affirmatively.
Why not? Asked Nian Xi.
Nian Junting nced at her, his eyes were saying Youre so stupid.
Cant you see that Luosang likes me? He asked his sister.
Nian Xi was dumbfounded to hear that. I truly cant she blinked and said.
Nian Junting snorted slightly, wondering why would someone as handsome and smart as himself has a little sister as silly and slow-minded as Nian Xi. If she isnt fond of me, would she risk her own safety to save me yesterday? Didnt you say it yourself that even as my sister you wouldnt shield me against that bucket of piss? And, theres something you dont know yet. Shes been trying to allure me all the time, regardless of settings. Wasnt that clear enough? She only has me in her heart now, he said.
Nian Xi was speechless.
She felt that she had a group of crows flying across her mind while cawing loudly. As her brother had always been strangely confident, she surely didnt believe what he said.
But its not good for her to carry a torch for me like that, Nian Junting suddenly frowned and said, Shes not my type at all. Ah, never mind, you should introduce her to Rong Ye. She mighte round and see him as the second best choice.
Alright Nian Xi felt that her brain wasnt even working.
At that moment, Luosang walked over, carrying a cut-up grapefruit.
