Chapter 573. Let''s Be Friends


    No way. Nian Xi didnt seem to believe it. I dont think that guys brain is working so well.


    Some strange people whose brains work in odd ways can be especially gifted in certain areas. Luosang had a quite deep understanding about that. She silently gave Nian Junting a nce. She was trying to tell Nian Xi that her brother was a strange man like that.


    Nian Xi was enlightened. That did make sense.


    Nian Xi arrived at the police station, changed into her uniform, then went out on patrol until eleven oclock. When she returned, her colleagues, who were leaving the station, said to her jokingly, Xi, your boyfriend is here to see you again.


    Nian Xi instantly got a lump in her throat. She took a few deep breaths, then walked into the station. Feng Ji Chuan was in her office, putting a bunch of white roses on her desk. As she came in, he raised his head and showed a smile on his chiseled face. Youre back. Lets have lunch togetherter.


    Im not going. Nian Xi lowered her head, sat on a chair, and said, You should go back.


    Ji Chuan grasped her wrist and said in a low voice, Xi, Im about to leave. I want to seize all the time we have now.


    Looking at Ji Chuans slim fingers on her wrist, Nian Xis heart was filled with sadness. Yeah, since you think that we should cherish all the time we have, why did you spend that night with Leng Shuangwei instead of me? she thought. Perhaps you do cherish being together, but its not as important as Shuangwei.


    Speaking of which Nian Xi clenched her teeth and raised her head to look straight at Ji Chuans handsome face. Ji Chuan, do you remember what I saidst time when I canceled our engagement? I said that we should both carefully think about if we should be together or not. Ive thought about it really carefully. I think were probably a not good match for each other. This is it. Lets be friends.


    Feng Ji Chuan paused briefly, then said, Didnt you say that because you were mad? Please stop this. Are you angry again because I didnte herest night when you asked me to? I was in the middle of something.


    Yeah, you were in the middle of something. You were with Shuangwei, werent you? I know that. Nian Xi nodded, trying very hard to stop her tears from streaming out of her eyes. Last night, I was watching you when I called you.


    Feng Ji Chuang froze for a moment. An embarrassed look shed across his face. Shuangwei has been pursuing Junting these past few days. Yesterday, Xu Luosang went to Juntingspany and said some really mean things to her. She was sad, so she got drunk. She hasnt been back in Xia City for long, so she doesnt have other friends, and her parents have divorced. I couldnt leave her alone. Its really dangerous for a girl to get drunk alone out there.


    Nian Xi stood up and asked, Did you have to lie to me about that?


    Last time, you were unhappy about Shuangwei because of that maid of honor thing. I didnt want you to be unhappy again, so I lied, Feng Ji Chuan exined in a low voice. Theres nothing going on between Shuangwei and me. She likes your brother.


    Yeah, she likes my brother. But what if she liked you, and what if she pursued you? Would you remain unmoved? Nian Xi couldnt help but ask.


    Xi, youre being unreasonable. Ji Chuan frowned. Shuangwei and I are just friends. How could she ever pursue me?


    You wouldnt be unmoved, because you always praised her when we were little. When you were injured, all the others knew about it, including Shuagnwei, but not me. Nian Xi was full of sadness. She was out there and drinking. You could have told me that. Shes my friend, and we grew up together. Dont I care about her safety? Would I ever be so mean to her? Ji Chuan, you never know me. There is a problem between us, a big problem.
