Luo Sang turned around and found that Nian Qingyun was so angry, he even seemed to have had a heart attack. She felt that Nian Qingyun had been terribly weak in front of Nian Junting, and that the latter had defeated him effortlessly. However, she was still uncomfortable.

“Junting, what if your grandparents on your father’s side don’t want us to be together, either?” She felt that her heart was tired.

“We can act first and report afterward.” Nian Junting thought for a moment and then said, “I’ll be 30 next year. Being a dad would be nice. If we start trying this year, will we have a chubby boy next fall? Ah, what year is next according to the Chinese Zodiac[1]?”

The corners of Luo Sang’s mouth twitched slightly, as she felt that Nian Junting was thinking too far ahead. “I haven’t even finished college yet,” she said. “And I need to take an internship.”

“...You’re right.” Nian Junting glanced at her with regret and said, “Then we’ll wait for two more years. That’s not bad though, as we can have some passionate days. You see, you’ve been living an asexual life for over 20 years, and me for about 30 years. So once we start, we must do it frequently to nourish our bodies.”

Under his gaze, Luo Sang felt that her entire body was going to burst into flames. She hurriedly changed the topic. “I think Nian Xi isn’t feeling so good. I should go find her.”

Hearing her mention that, Nian Junting wore a sullen look. “I didn’t think that Ji Chuan would say it out loud just now. I’m very disappointed in him. But, it’s almost one, so let’s have some lunch.”

Luo Sang contacted Nian Xi while having lunch. Learning that the latter had gone home, she ordered some food for takeout.

Nian Junting drove her to Nian Xi’s place. Seeing Luo Sang carrying the takeout, he smiled and said, “You, as her future sister-in-law, are getting nicer and nicer. Luo, you’ve done so much for me, and I’ll remember it all.”

Luo Sang blushed and said, “I’m not doing it for you. I do like Nian Xi.”

“So that’s what, ‘love me, love my dog’ means.” Nian Junting nodded.

Luo Sang waved at him, then went upstairs, as she felt that she wasn’t able to communicate with Nian Junting at the moment.

Nian Xi lived alone in a three-bedroom apartment. When Nian Xi opened the door, Luo Sang could see that her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were red. Obviously, she had been crying.

Luo Sang walked in and said, “Have some lunch.” The apartment was a little messy and seemed to have not been cleaned in a long time. Bowls of instant noodles were thrown in the trash, and all sorts of snacks were scattered on the couch.

“I have no appetite.” Nian Xi waved her hands, then threw herself onto the couch, picking up the snacks to ease her sadness.

Luo Sang was a little speechless. You have no appetite, yet you’re eating so many snacks, she thought.

At that moment, Nian Xi’s phone rang. The screen showed Ji Chuan’s name. As Nian Xi was gazing at the phone’s screen, Luo Sang reached out and refused the call.

“Sangsang...”

“Don’t answer it.” Luo Sang sat beside her and said, “If you ask me, I’d say that you care too much about him. I don’t know about your stories, but I think if he wants to stay in the army, he should have been frank with you and told you about it earlier. He should ask you if you’re willing to accept a long-distance marriage with him. Many army wives are only able to see their husbands a few times a year, but their marriages work. However, he never had a conversation with you about it or asked for your opinion, even though you’re his fiancee.”

“Yeah, I’ve gotten through all these years. In fact, as long as he still loves me, I’ll accept a long-distance marriage. What made me sad is that he never really thinks about my position.” Nian Xi gave a bitter smile and said, “Do you think that he doesn’t care so much about me anymore, because we’ve been parted for too long?”

Luo Sang didn’t know how to respond.

“But,” Nian Xi continued, “How can he not care about me? I’m excellent. I’m so pretty, so smart, and my family is so rich.”

Luo Sang still didn’t know what to say. Nian Xi’s words sounded so familiar to her.
