Sister Lan’s hands trembled. “Miss Nian brought him here. Where could I find such a handsome chap?”
Nian Junting nodded and looked at Jiang Yuning. “Nian Xi, your boyfriend has forgotten his manners. He’s not even looking me in the eye.”
“I told you, he isn’t my boyfriend.” Nian Xi was exasperated. Nobody was listening to what she was saying.
“Why did you bring your boyfriend to me anyway?” Nian Junting appeared confused. “Are you asking for my approval? I’m cool with anything, but have you talked things out with Ji Chuan? Didn’t he just give you flowers and chocolates yesterday?”
Nian Xi’s heart ached at the mention of Ji Chuan. She felt suffocated. Sister Lan explained everything to Nian Junting.
“What kind of oddball is he? Is he trying to hit on you? Is that the reason why he followed you all the way here? People really resort to all sorts of tricks nowadays.” Nian Junting walked towards Jiang Yuning with a stoic face and stared at him sternly. “You should be forthright like a real man if you really want to woo my sister. You don’t have to resort to such lowly methods. Drop the act that you don’t have a phone or you don’t talk much. You can’t even tell us your name? I must say that your methods are refreshing, almost as interesting as the ones that my woman used.”
After he finished, Jiang Yuning stood up silently and sat himself down on the other end of the couch and continued watching the television.
“He just ignored me!” Nian Junting said angrily and raised his brows. “He wants to woo you, but he’s disrespecting me.”
“He’s not trying to woo me,” Nian Xi said again with frustration.
“I’m afraid the human mind is more complicated than you think,” Nian Junting continued.
Nian Xi was exhausted. “Anyway, he will be sleeping here tonight.”
“I don’t care, whatever. I won’t approve of the two of you, anyway,” Nian Junting said again.
Nian Xi sighed. Although this man in front of her was an oddball, her brother was somewhat an oddball himself. Sometimes she wanted to put a plastic bag over his head to stop him from talking. Only Sang could tolerate him. She couldn’t believe Leng Shuangwei had trouble getting over him after so many years as well. These people had peculiar taste in men. If she had a boyfriend as strange as her brother, it would drive her crazy.
“I’m only here to notify you. I didn’t want you to be shocked when you see him tomorrow.” She turned and tugged at Jiang Yuning’s sleeve. “Come on, I’ll take you to the guest room.”
Jiang Yuning followed her to the guest room on the ground floor. It was clean and neat. Nian Xi said, “There isn’t a toilet in this room. It’s beneath the stairs outside. Do you need to shower? If so, I’ll go get some clothes from my brother.”
Jiang Yuning shook his head. Nian Xi nodded in response. “I’m going to bed then. I’ll be next door. Don’t wander around by yourself and don’t go to the second floor.”
Jiang Yuning nodded. Nian Xi walked towards the door and sighed before adding, “If you see my brother and my sister-in-law tomorrow, you should look them in the eye if they speak to you. Acknowledge them by nodding or shaking your head. It would be quite rude to ignore them as you did my brother just now.”
Jiang Yuning looked lost. He jotted down on his notepad, “Did your brother speak to me just now?”
“…”
Nian Xi was speechless. “He was speaking to you for a while. You didn’t hear any of it?”
Jiang Yuning shook his head in confusion.
