Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“No, I need to go to your dorm and take a look.” Nian Junting didn’t move.

He made it sound like she was really his girlfriend.

“What do you want to look at in my dorm?” she asked.

“I need to know where you live.” Nian Junting glanced at her and said, “Every time I have seen you, you have been in trouble. If I know where you live, I’ll be less worried if someone troubles you again.”

Luosang’s eyelashes quivered slightly.

His words might mean nothing to others, but to her, who was alone and away from home, those words were just so meaningful.

She felt that she was finally not alone, and that she finally had someone who cared about her.

Doesn’t he always say mean words? But this time…

“Let’s go.” Nian Junting walked upstairs.

Luosang had no choice but to follow behind him. At first, she worried that her roommates might be in the room, but later, she found that the others hadn’t come back.

They had a spring cleaning session in the girls’ dorm yesterday, and most of the girls liked things clean. Therefore, the room was rather clean and tidy when they got in. Luosang’s bed and closet looked slightly messy, as someone had rummaged through them.

Nian Junting looked around. He paused slightly when walking past Ye Chuen’s table.

“I think Chuen is your distant cousin.” Luosang turned to where he was looking and saw a photo of Ye Chuen which was placed on her table. “It’s such a small world,” she said.

“Ah, it’s Ye Chuen. No wonder she looks familiar.” Nian Junting nodded and said, “She doesn’t look like the girl in the photo at all. That’s why people say to never believe in girls’ photos, because they aren’t real.”

“Eh…” Luosang said, “Fortunately, Chuen isn’t here. Otherwise, she might want to vomit blood if she heard what you said.”

Nian Junting raised his brows in disagreement and said, “I’ve already made that euphemistic enough.”

Luosang really wanted to know what would happen if he didn’t try to make his words euphemistic.

“I haven’t come to a small place like this for long,” said Nian Junting wistfully. “I have lived like this when I was a soldier. But our dorm was much tidier than yours, and our blankets wasn’t folded so unskillfully.”

Luosang lowered her head. Earlier, she felt that her bed was tidy enough.

While she was thinking, Nian Junting suddenly climbed up to her bed and spreaded out her blanket to refold it carefully.

While doing that, he said, “I used to have better blanket-folding skills. I could fold a blanket more perfectly than this.”

Luosang didn’t know what to say.

“Oi, why is a man here? Who told you go come in?” The dorm manager walked past Luosang’s room and saw Nian Junting from the outside. She angrily walked in and said, “You’re even on her bed, spreading her blanket. What are you going to do? It’s the middle of the day! Didn’t you see the sign at the entrance? Boys are not allowed in here! You little girls just can’t be careful.”

Luosang’s face blushed. “Madam, We’ve talked to Ms. Wang before coming in…”

“Eh? You again?” Ms. Xie pointed at her and continued, “I remember you. You’ve impressed me actually. Countless boys were downstairs to tell you that they love you. Some of them lit hundreds of candles, some of them covered the ground with flowers, and some of them even sang for you. So many noises. You have a boyfriend now? I don’t think I’ve seen this one before.”

Luosang felt so embarrassed, and somehow, she sensed a stream of cold air coming from the man standing beside her.

“It’s not like that…” she tried to explain.

“You’ve brought him into your dorm, but now you’re telling me that he’s not your boyfriend?” Ms. Xie Glanced at Nian Junting and said, “He looks prettier than your other suitors. You little girls all like handsome men. But in my opinion, most of the handsome men aren’t reliable. Those boys will try everything to get into the girls’ dorm. I’ve worked as a dorm manager for over ten years, so I’ve seen everything.”
