Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

At this juncture, when Nian Junting said “don’t worry,” it was akin to him holding out a lamp in the pitch dark, and his warmth and light engulfed her immediately.

“It’s simple, I posted another thread on your school forum while posing as an insider. I said that you were dating a handsome, young rich man. I also added that he owned a listed company and drives you around in his 6-million-USD luxury SUV. Why would you have to resort to stealing if you have such a rich boyfriend? Also I said you didn’t tell anyone about him as you wanted to keep a low profile. I already texted Lu Kang, and he will be enlisting the help of hired commenters to repost the thread. Tell me, isn’t the story convincing?”

Luosang stood silent for a while before stuttering, “This idea… isn’t too bad, but why do I feel so uneasy?”

“Don’t be uneasy. I can lend myself to your aid for a while,” Nian Junting gave her a sexy smirk.

His smile was dazzling.

“Mr. Nian, I’m ok with this plan,” Luosang chewed on her sandwich hesitantly, “But do you actually have a 6-million-dollar SUV?”

Nian Junting raised both his brows, “Who says I don’t, I just got one a couple of days ago. I’ll drive that later.”

Luosang was in a daze, holding the sandwich in her mouth, as she stared at Nian Junting with bright eyes. She realized that Nian Junting’s description of her imaginary boyfriend was practically tailored to his own profile.

Meanwhile, Nian Junting was having a joyous morning as he sipped his coffee.

After the incident of driving his sports car in the rain, he vowed never to drive another sports car again. He would be driving SUVs for their dates from now on. It was what he was good at, and it made him look manly, unlike the frivolous Xiao Si.

…

After 10 minutes, Nian Junting rolled up and parked a large SUV in front of Luosang.

“Don’t just ogle at the car, hop in,” Nian Junting waved to her.

Luosang pulled open the car door and used a large amount of strength to pull herself clumsily onto the car seat.

I can’t blame her, although there’s a footstep, it is her first time riding such a magnificent car. It’s hard to look graceful doing that, Nian Junting thought.

“Mr. Nian, if someone saw me getting out of this car, it’ll be an ugly sight to behold. There’s no way I’ll be able to climb down elegantly,” Luosang said bravely. This wasn’t a cliché TV series after all.

Nian Junting paused before saying, “I’ll carry you out later then.”

Luosang nearly choked, “That’s not what I’m suggesting…”

“Let’s do that when we reach the school.”

Luosang was silent and made a face.

“What kind of expression is that? Are you unwilling? I’m just trying to help you, you know?” Nian Junting said.

“No thank you,” Luosang managed to sputter out.

“Hm, you can smile if you’re grateful. Oh right, if your roommate asks about us, you have to insist that I’m your boyfriend. I’m not sure about your roommates other than Yan Su, but we have to play it safe you know,” Nian Junting reminded her.

“…Alright.”

The situation was as it was, and Luosang had to go along with the plan. Watching the tall man beside her basking in the morning sun, she felt protected and safe.

It was the first time in 2 years, since her father was incarcerated, that she felt this way.
