Soon, breakfast was served. Looking at the red, oily noodle soup, Luosang felt that her appetite was aroused. She stirred the noodles, then began enjoying it.
She finished the noodles, the fried bread sticks and the cup of soy milk in about ten minutes. After that, she raised her head to find that Nian Junting, who sat in front of her, didn’t eat much.
“Do you not think this is good?” she asked.
“You call this good?” He threw the question back to her.
“I think it’s pretty fine.” Luosang pouted and said, “I didn’t ask to come here.”
Nian Junting decided not to argue with her, as he just wanted her to have a nice breakfast. “I know a place in Xia City, they make really good beef noodle soup. I’ll take you there next time.”
“Thank you, but I don’t think I will have a chance to taste their beef noodle soup because I won’t be in Xia City,” she said.
“You won’t come back your whole life?” Nian Junting glanced at Luosang unpleasantly, then continued, “Have you saved my number? Don’t contact me unless you have to.”
“…Don’t worry, I won’t disturb your life,” she said.
Nian Junting put down his chopsticks with a dark look and said, “I mean, you can contact me if you need my help.”
Luosang felt so speechless.
She guessed that she was too stupid to understand the big boss’s strange way of talking.
“Whatever. Did you finish? Let’s go if you have finished. I can’t stand this place for another minute. It’s graded B for hygiene level,” he complained.
“Alright,” she said.
Nian Junting grumpily glanced at her and said, “What alright? I waited until now because you are enjoying the meal.”
Luosang blinked.
“Are you touched?” He smiled proudly and said, “Don’t be too touched. Remember this moment. It’s a pity that you can’t have me, but at least you will have good memories.”
“… Yes, good memories.” Luosang sighed silently. She had really gotten used to hearing Mr. Nian flatter himself from time to time.
Half past ten, the luxury vehicle drove into an area with small buildings in Yunxi Ao. The car turned a few times in the narrow roads, then stopped before a four-story, shabby house.
“Have you lived here before?” Nian Junting looked at the house and said, “You’re a woman; it’s not safe for you to live here alone, is it?”
He remembered that the area used to be a village before he joined the army. Later on, it became a part of the fast-developing city. The local people built some houses and factories, but since the people who stayed there were all poor outlanders, and the surrounding environment and the pair in this area were undesired, no developer was willing to put investment into this place.
“It’s alright. The landlord of this place is a nice person. He wouldn’t rent the rooms to bad people.” Luosang got out of the car, turned to seriously look at the handsome Nian Junting in the car, and said, “Mr. Nian, thank you to you and your family very much for looking after me these days. Goodbye.”
Nian Junting’s thin lips moved slightly. “I’ll walk you up,” he said.
“No need, you’re already nice enough to me. If you send me upstairs, I’ll overthink it,” Luosang joked.
Nian Junting stopped moving. Since she had said that, he really had no reason to get out of the car.
“Goodbye.” Luosang waved at him, then walked into the building.
When she arrived at the second floor, she found that Nian Junting’s car was still parked before the building.
She sighed. She had spent a lot of time with Nian Junting and found that he was actually a good person.
If she had spent a longer amount of time with him, it wouldn’t be strange for her to fall in love with him, as he had said.
She hadn’t been back for a long time. She opened the door to her room, put down her bag, and took off her glasses. Then, she took a shower and put on a v-neck shirt. An hour later, she checked out with the landlord, then left with her suitcase without any reluctance.
