Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Who says that couples can’t have sex while they’re fighting?” Nian Junting’s arm paused for a second, and then he threw a question back and made himself sound very reasonable.

Luosang had met quite some shameless people, but none of them was as shameless as he was. He had yelled at her earlier, and now he wanted to have sex with her. In your dreams, she thought. “All women in the world say that.” Luosang picked up a pillow and a quilt and walked out of the bedroom.

“Where are you going?” Nian Junting sat up and got off of the bed.

“I’ll sleep on the couch.” Luosang laid on the couch and curled up.

Nian Junting glanced at the private part of his body which had been making him uncomfortable, then said grumpily, “Luosang, if you keep doing this, I won’t satisfy you with my little brother again.”

Like I want it, Luosang thought. She did sense pleasure during sex, but every time she felt half-dead afterward. She rolled her eyes, then turned around to face him with the back of her head.

Nian Junting angrily walked back into the bedroom. There was no quilt left on the bed, so he took out a spare one from the closet. However, he was too lonely to fall asleep. He couldn’t sleep alone, and his private part also needed some comfort.

Looking at those Uggs in the corner, he truly wanted to throw them all away. However, he was too polite to do that. He felt so irritated. Sitting up on the bed, he sent Xiao Si a message via WeChat—Come online, chat with me. He waited for half a minute, but Xiao Si didn’t reply, so he directly gave him a voice call.

The call was answered. “What do you want? It’s midnight over here. I was asleep,” said Xiao Si.

“Luosang betrayed me,” said Nian Junting coldly.

“What? What?” Xiao Si was wide awake in shock. “You guys were doing fine just yesterday! You posted pictures on Wechat Moment every day.”

“She lied to me. She wants to give Uggs to Chi Shengxu as a gift, but lied to me that those Uggs were for Yan Su’s boyfriend.”

So that’s what it’s about, thought Xiao Si.

“She doesn’t think that she did anything wrong, and she’s making me sleep alone.” Nian Junting continued, “What should I do? She never gave me shoes as gifts.”

Xiao Si coughed slightly, then said, “Those are nothing but a pair of shoes. Chi Shengxu helped her at Christmas, so it’s reasonable for her to give him a gift. Don’t overthink it.”

“How can I not overthink? Giving someone shoes as a gift means that she wants to walk together with that person.” The more Nian Junting talked about that, the more uncomfortable he felt.

“Ugh, you’re wrong about that.” Xiao Si hurriedly responded, “Actually, giving people shoes as gifts doesn’t have good meanings. Giving someone shoes means you want to see that person off. It means parted. It could also mean that the gift-giver wants the one who received the gift to put on those shoes and go as far away as possible. The word ‘shoes’ is a homophone of ‘evil’ in Chinese, so it has quite an ominous meaning, too. That’s why people say that couples shouldn’t give each other shoes as gifts, especially sports shoes. Don’t doubt this. Earlier, I heard from Zhou Yanfeng that he bought one of his ex-girlfriends a pair of sports shoes, and that girl left him in less than three days. Zhou Yanfeng is a playboy indeed, but he’s good-looking and rich. That girl was the only one who unexpectedly left him.”

Nian Junting was stunned. He didn’t know all that. It seems that I have misunderstood Luosang. I think Chi Shengxu likes her, but she’s all about me. However, he asked her for a gift, and she couldn’t refuse, because he had helped her. So, that’s why she agreed to buy him shoes. Well, my woman is pretty and perfect, so it’s reasonable for her to have suitors.

“I get it. I have something that needs to be done, bye,” he said to Xiao Si.

“Oi, can you at least let me finish…” The call was ended before Xiao Si could finish his speech.
