“The injury on your back is not even as bad as what I had last time when I fell over.” Luosang had the impulse to bite him. Earlier, when seeing him being wheeled out of the treatment room, she was so distressed that she almost cried. But it turned out that there was nothing but a tiny scratch on his back, which was not even as big as half of her little finger. He was so shameless.
Nian Junting calmly rubbed his own back and said with composure, “I’m surprised. The doctor did a good job. My skin is healing quickly, and even the scar has almost faded.”
“Keep lying through your teeth.” Luosang sneered, then turned and prepared to leave.
Nian Junting grabbed her wrist, dragged her into his arms, and put his lips near her ears before saying in a deep and dry voice, “I admit that I lied to you. I wanted you to worry about me. Under those circumstances, I had no other options than to pretend to be badly injured.”
“And the doctor helped you?” Luosang asked grumpily.
“Yeah.” Nian Junting nodded. “In the emergency room, I told the doctor that I’ve been in love with you for ten years, and that you were going abroad. I said that I tried my best to catch up with you and to persuade you to stay. I ran three whole blocks, then had an accident. I told him that I wanted to make my injuries look bad, so that you might stay.”
Luosang was speechless for a while. It was a shame that he was not a scriptwriter.
Nian Junting hurriedly continued, “Alright, I’ve finally recovered. Let me take you to Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant. We’ll have our dinner there.”
Hearing about Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant, Luosang’s heart was nearly filled by a sweet feeling, so she forgave Nian Junting for lying.
Nian Junting took her to the largest Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant in Xia City. It was Luosang’s first time eating there. The restaurant was over 100 square meters and was quaintly decorated, looking very special. It was not especially exquisite, but it was clean and tidy enough to make people feel comfortable.
They arrived at the dinner hour, and there were about 40 customers in the restaurant. On a wall in the restaurant was calligraphy that read—Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant was founded because of my wife. She likes noodles. We had our first date at a noodle restaurant. Luo Ting Noodle Restaurant is a monument to our love, and it means everything to me. The calligraphy work was inscribed with a name—Ting.
Luosang gazed straight at that name. At that very moment, she suddenly felt that she already had all she ever wanted. She felt as if she had eaten a lot of candy, and that sweetness was lingering in her heart. She would never say that Nian Junting had low EQ anymore, as he had secretly founded such a large chain noodle restaurant as a reminder of their love. Countless women would be so jealous of her.
“When did I… become your wife?” Luosang spent a while longer gazing at the wall, then held his hands and turned back to look at Nian Junting gently.
“Sooner or later, you will.” Nian Junting smiled, put an arm around her, and said, “Also, ‘wife’ will make this more impressive.”
“Did you write those words?” Luosang asked.
“Yeah.” Nian Junting nodded. “I wrote them myself. The pieces in other stores are copies of this one.”
“I didn’t know you can do calligraphy.” Luosang sighed. She admired him. “That’s really beautiful calligraphy.”
“My grandpa taught me calligraphy when I was eight years old. I can do lots of things. However, I’ve been keeping a low profile. I don’t like to show off. You can take your time to discover my other hidden skills.” While speaking, Nian Junting guided Luosang to the innermost table in the restaurant.
“This restaurant is booming.” Luosang looked around and said, “The noodles here aren’t expensive. I remember that the noodles in the restaurant where you purchased them last time were very pricy.”
