“All of them sound good.” Luosang believed that as Nian Xi’s future sister-in-law, she needed to show some concern. “Do you have pictures? Show me.”
“My mom sent me some photos via WeChat. Go ahead.” Nian Xi threw her cellphone to Luosang.
Luosang found the photos. Some of those boys looked sunny and handsome, some looked humble and reliable, and others looked gentle and elegant. “They’re all handsome.”
So many people would be jealous of Nian Xi for having such good resources.
“Actually, I think this lawyer and this prosecutor both seem to be good matches for you. You’re a police officer. If you get married to one, you two will have a lot to talk about.”
Nian Xi sighed. “I’m not interested in any of them.”
“I understand.” Luosang nodded. “After all, none of them are as pretty as the young man that you brought back last time.”
Nian Xi choked a little.
“I’m kidding.” Luosang smiled, “I know that you don’t have the room for another person in your heart.”
“Ji Chuan is transferring back in July,” Nian Junting said while cutting vegetables. Nian Xi immediately fell silent.
At seven o’clock, Nian Junting came out of the kitchen with well-cooked food.
“Don’t you have a roommate here? I heard that she broke up with her boyfriend, too. Isn’t she coming back? I’d like to have a few drinks with her,” Nian Xi said.
“She’s shooting a music video.” Luosang looked worried. “Earlier, Yan Su locked herself in her room, writing songs. She seemed to have written a song about break-up, and her company found it pretty good. They’ve already started recording it. I think it’ll be released in the summer.”
“What a shame. I would very much like to meet her.” Nian Xi poked at her rice with her chopsticks.
Nian Junting ignored her, but served Luosang a bowl of chicken soup. Nian Xi wanted to eat some of that soup, but her brother hit her hand with his chopsticks and said, “You can’t eat this.”
Nian Xi suffered. “I’ll only have a little of it. What’s the big deal? You made so much.”
“It’s okay. You know I have a poor appetite lately.” Luosang pushed the soup toward Nian Xi.
“No. You’re eating for two,” said Nian Junting.
“What?” Nian Xi rubbed her ears. “What did you just say? Is Sangsang…” Luosang’s face turned red, while Nian Junting proudly raised his eyebrows.
Nian Xi sprung to her feet and covered her mouth. “Oh my God! You guys are so efficient! Am I going to be an auntie?”
Luosang smiled and said, “Six weeks.”
Nian Xi was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, “Please give me a pretty and adorable little niece! I won’t be able to stand a boy like my brother.”
Luosang stayed silent. She wouldn’t be able to stand a boy like that either. Unusually, Nian Junting didn’t argue with her. “It’s surely going to be a princess,” he said.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m going to buy so many gifts for my little niece. My mother gave me too much money. I just can’t spend it all.” While speaking, Nian Xi began eating quickly. “I need to finish dinner soon and then go shop for clothes for my niece.”
“Your brother has already bought a lot of clothes for the baby.” Luosang was a little speechless.
“Yeah, but he has poor taste…” Nian Xi put a piece of pork rib into her mouth, then spat it right out and said, “Brother, the pork rib is undercooked. How did you cook it? Can my sister-in-law eat that?”
Nian Junting glanced at the pork rib, then picked up a piece of it and tasted it for himself. As Nian Xi had said, it was undercooked. “How did that happen? I guess this pork rib is especially hard to cook. Before, my pork rib was always well cooked.”
“Yeah? Are you sure?” Nian Xi doubted that.
“Of course.” Nian Junting nodded.
Luosang quietly sipped the chicken soup. His pork rib was never well-cooked. That day, Nian Xi had come to visit and she had needed to keep her company. Otherwise, she would never have let Nian Junting cook.
