Kapitel 35: Happy New Year
Redakteur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Nian Xi grabbed Luosang's hands and said, "Sister Lusoang, my brother has agreed to let you go to a movie with me tomorrow afternoon."
Luosang paused shortly, then said, "But, doesn't your brother need someone to take care of him…"
"Just take half a day off. The steward can take care of me," said Nian Junting. While speaking, he looked at Nian Xi with a helpless look in his eyes, as if saying—'See, I know she likes me. Otherwise, why would she be so worried about me? She doesn't even want to leave me alone for a short while."
The corners of Nian Xi's mouth twitched, then she said, "Alright… I'll be leaving now."
She really wanted to yell at her brother and tell him that—'She's your carer, and it's normal for her to worry about you!'
'She likes you?' thought Nian Xi. 'Only if she's sick-minded. Why else would she like someone as nitpicky as you?'
After the steward left, Nian Junting found a comfortable spot on the bed, then laidd down to watch TV. Luosang sat beside him, feeding him grapefruit.
After spending a long time eating, he suddenly discovered that she was now peeling grapefruits much faster than she had in the daytime, so he said, "Not bad, your grapefruit-peeling skills have improved. As I thought, you needed practice."
Luosang took a deep breath, then sighed and responded, "I cut every segment of grapefruit at the bottom, so they're easier to peel."
Hearing her, Nian Junting glanced at the peeled grapefruit in the plate, then said, "You're smart. It seems that you're quite suitable for this job."
Luosang wanted to die when she heard him.
It wasn't a happy thing for her to be told that she was suitable for grapefruit-peeling.
It was almost twelve o'clock when the sounds of fireworks were heard from outside, and colorful fireworks began to spread in the sky.
Luosang stood by the window, looking at the fireworks and feeling the deep sadness and loneliness from her heart.
Before, her families would always get together at New Year, and her father would enjoy a drink with Yi Jingxi. But now, her father was in prison, she was away from home, and her home was gone.
She closed the window to block the sounds of the firecrackers. Nian Junting was sitting on the bed, replying to messages. She assumed that many people were sending New Year's greetings to him.
The room suddenly quieted down. Nian Junting raised his head to look at Luosang, who was leaning against the bed, then frowned and said, "You have someone to send you a New Year's greetings too, don't you?"
"No." Luosang smiled and dropped her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes.
"That's sad. Not even that fatso texted you? Isn't he chasing after you?" Nian Junting's narrowed eyes showed slight sympathy for her as he said, "He pays too little attention to the girl he's chasing. If he likes you, he'd definitely message you with a warm blessing just past twelve. I think you should forget him. He's most likely casting a wide net and playing with you."
Luosang remained silent. She never thought about being with Doctor Gu.
Seeing that she stayed silent, Nian Junting thought that she felt even sadder than before. So, he hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's your phone number?"
Luosang paused for a second, then gave him her number.
He lowered his head to tap on his phone. Soon afterwards, Luosang's phone buzzed.
She lowered her head to check it and found a message from a strange number that said "Happy New Years".
"That's my number," Nian Junting looked at her and said, believing that she was obviously touched. "Don't misunderstand me, and please don't deepen your feelings for me. I just felt pity for you, and I mean nothing more than that. I have absolutely no desire for you." His lips curved in a proud smile.
"I know." She couldn't stand his extremely arrogant and narcissistic attitude, but still sensed a warmth flowing across her heart.
Seeing Luosang gazing at him with a faint smile on her face, Nian Junting sighed and rubbed his own hair.
He believed that he was too nice. Judging by the look in her eyes, he felt that she now loved him more and more, and that was terrible.
Kapitel 36: You Weren’t Here, so Young Master’s been in a Bad Mood the Whole Time
Redakteur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At the first day of the lunar year, Luosang went to the cinema with Nian Xi. They were accompanied by a man named Rong Ye, who looked gentle and mature. He picked Luosang and Nian Xi up from the family house of Nian Family with a Passat, which was worth about two-hundred thousands yuan.
Ten minutes after they left, Nian Junting tasted the grapefruit handed to him by the steward, then his handsome face darkened in dissatisfaction. "Why is the grapefruit peeled by you so sour?" He asked.
Sweat trickled down the steward's face as he responded, "That… Not all grapefruits are sweet."
"Then why all the grapefruits peeled by Luosang were sweet?" Said Nian Junting scornfully. He believed that the steward was trying to pass the buck, and was very irresponsible. "And you're so slow. Are you planting grapefruit?"
The steward wanted to cry but failed to shed any tears. Every grapefruit picked by Luosang was sweet, but he didn't have the luck. "Young Master, I've tried my best. I'm not a professional grapefruit-peeler after all." He said.
"But Luosang isn't one either, is she?" Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, "Forget it, I don't want grapefruit anymore. Go make me some a cup of tea."
Five minutes later, the steward served the tea to him. He took a few sips, then knitted his brows again and said, "Your tea doesn't have the refreshing scent, and taste full of dry bitterness. It's awful."
Not like Luosang's tea, the steward's tea didn't have the nice fragrance which would linger for a long time.
The steward even wanted to die. He graduated from a butler academy, and making tea was a piece of cake for him. However, Nian Junting just criticized his tea for its awful taste.
That didn't make sense.
"Young Master, I made tea like that before," said the steward.
'Didn't you enjoy my tea at that time?' He thought.
"Your skill has fallen off," Nian Junting put down his teacup with disappointment and said, "Massage my shoulders."
The steward put his hands on Nian Junting's shoulder as the sweat broke out on his forehead. But in less than one minute, Nian Junting's angry voice could be heard again.
"Are you trying to kill me?" He said, "You're breaking my shoulders! Your massage skill is not even half as good as Luosang's."
The steward was nearly devastated. Nian Junting's grandmother who sat beside him couldn't bear watching this, so she said, "That's enough. The steward is responsible for managing this house, not massaging and caring."
The steward nodded silently.
Nian Junting sneered, said, "Don't try to find excuses for yourself. Luosang is just a carer, but why can she make good tea, peel grapefruits fast and cook well?"
After saying that, he suddenly realized that Luosang was quite capable. She was able to protect him, cook for him and do many other things for him.
Next, without Luosang's massage, he failed to fall asleep at nap time. And after that, he got up to play mahjong, but played an extremely bad hand. He asked the steward to draw mahjong tiles for him, but the tiles drawn by the steward were even worse than the ones drawn by himself. He lost tens of thousands in the afternoon, so he even wanted to tear the steward into pieces every time he saw him.
Six pm, once getting off the car, Luosang saw the steward walk quickly at her as if she was the savior. "Luosang, you're finally back! I've been expecting you the entire afternoon," said the steward.
Luosang was startled. 'I'm not so close with this steward, am I?" She wondered.
"Young Master has been in a bad mood while you're not here. He's been angry at me the whole time," sighed the steward bitterly.
"Is Mr. Nian ever in a good mood?" Asked Luosang.
The steward didn't know how to respond, as he felt that Luosang was quite right.
Luosang assumed that the steward was doing too good in the Nian Family, and had never suffered the difficulties of being with Nian Junting, and believed that was why he was so frustrated now.
She then turned back to say to Rong Ye, "Mr. Rong, thank you for your treat this afternoon."
"Don't mention it. It's my pleasure to be with two lovely ladies on the first day of the year. Contact me by WeChat if you have time." Rong Ye smiled and waved at her, then drove away.
