Chapter 874: Nian Xi Wanted to Pinch It
She used to read The Book of Songs. She still remembered one line from that book —’Look at those recesses in the banks of the Qi, with their green bamboos, so fresh and luxuriant! There is our elegant and accomplished prince, as from the knife and the file, as from the chisel and the polisher!’
Her teacher had explained the line for her, but back then, she couldn’t imagine the face of the man in the poem.
Now, as she saw Jiang Yuning, that line popped up in her mind.
She had seen many guys in white shirts, including Nian Junting, Mo Liuxi, Feng Ji Chuan.
However, in comparison with Jiang Yuning, they all lacked the innocence that he had. That innocence was coming from his bones, deep inside.
“Ahem.” Seeing Nian Xi fix her eyes on Jiang Yuning, Zhan Hong put a fist on his mouth and coughed. Then, he reminded her saying, “Nian Xi, the breakfast is on the table. Pick some and then we’ll go. Otherwise, we’ll miss the plane.”
“Oh, all right.” Nian Xi came back to her senses and automatically picked up a cup of soymilk and a sandwich.
Fang Qi kindly grabbed her suitcase.
Nian Xi glanced at Jiang Yuning. The latter didn’t look at her but followed behind Xu Gang.
She was a little unhappy. She couldn’t help but recall how he turned back over and over to look at her yesterday, when he left.
Somehow, she felt as if she had raised a puppy, and it was suddenly not clinging to her anymore.
They walked out of the institution and saw two cars were parked outside.
Zhan Hong arranged Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning and Uncle Han to be in the same car, and the rest in the other car.
Nian Xi needed to guard Jiang Yuning closely, so she sat in the backseat with him.
When the car started, Jiang Yuning stood straight, hands on his knees. He then fastened his seatbelt, looking outside the left window.
As a police officer, Nian Xi needed to look around to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
She noticed sometimes that Jiang Yuning would look at her sneakily. Every time she turned to look at him, he would immediately turn his eyes away like a timid little rabbit.
Nian Xi found that funny. Suddenly, she felt much better. As he looked at her again, she abruptly turned to catch him with her eyes. She caught him a few times, then noticed that Jiang Yuning’s earlobes had turned red.
His earlobes were fleshy. Looking at his red earlobe, Nian Xi wanted to pinch it.
When they arrived at the airport, Jiang Yuning opened the door and got off the car first.
Nian Xi immediately got off the car and said to him, “You have to wait until I get off the car and observe the surrounding area.”
Jiang Yuning blinked, then looked at the front without responding to her.
“Have you heard what I said?” Nian Xi repeated herself. “We are still in China, so you’re safe now. When we go abroad, you need to cooperate with us.”
Jiang Yuning lowered his head, looking at his own tiptoes. He kept ignoring her.
“Why don’t you talk to me?” Nian Xi felt annoyed.
“You don’t want to be friends with me. You dislike me. So, it’s better I don’t talk to you,” Jiang Yuning said with a low voice, and then quickly walked to Uncle Han.
Nian Xi was very angry.
When did she say that she disliked him?
They entered the airport and started to go through security. The security process for international passengers was rather complicated. Even though they had a special pass, it still took them around fifty minutes.
As Uncle Han was falling behind alone, Nian Xi hurriedly went to him and asked, “Uncle Han, what have you told Mr. Jiang? He refused to talk to me and said that I dislike him.”
“I told him that you don’t like him, and that you don’t want to be friends with him. I also told him not to bother you again.” Uncle Han smiled and said, “Was I wrong?”
Nian Xi felt remorseful. She slightly opened her mouth and prepared to say something. Uncle Han interrupted her, “You meant that yesterday when you talked to me. I don’t know how to speak in an indirect way, so I told Mr. Jiang the truth. He isn’t bothering you anymore Miss. Nian, so you can stop worrying.”
After he finished talking, Uncle Han went after Jiang Yuning.
