Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Nian Xi stayed silent. All right, she was overthinking. She thought the ring was worth millions. If it was, it would be the most expensive ring that she had received from a boy.

She felt both pressure and happiness when she thought about it.

“It’s hollow because it’s a weapon,” Jiang Yuning said. “After what happened last time, I feel that you might often need to face danger. Here is a tiny button on the ring. When you’re fighting someone, you only need to press this button for ten seconds. The needle in the ring will pop out when you press the button and it’s covered in an anesthetic. A tiny bit can paralyze your enemy for three hours.”

Nian Xi was almost overjoyed to receive that gift. “So I can easily put down anyone stronger than I am?”

Jiang Yuning nodded, then said to her, “When my hands recover, I’ll make you a couple of more weapons for your protection. Xi, I can’t be like Feng Ji Chuan… I can’t find materials for you and crack your case, but I can make you many things to help guarantee your safety.”

Nian Xi was touched. So in the end, he was still upset about what happened earlier.

“You don’t need to compare yourself with Feng Ji Chuan,” said Nian Xi. “What I want is the same as what most girls want. I only want my other-half to care for me, and to always love me, me solely.”

“But…” Jiang Yuning remembered what Feng Ji Chuan said before leaving. He was worried, but he didn’t mention it, as he was afraid that Nian Xi might dislike him for talking too much. “It’s okay. Never mind. Let’s go to dinner. I’ve booked a table and told the restaurant that we’ll be there at half-past seven. We might be late if we don’t leave now.”

“All right.” Nian Xi nodded. The two of them went outside.

The dinner was hotpot. Nian Xi had the spicy hotpot while Jiang Yuning had the light-flavored.

After spending quite some time eating the spicy food alone, Nian Xi felt a little bored. She turned to Jiang Yuning and said to him, “Good boy, open your mouth.”

“It’s too spicy.” Jiang Yuning looked at the lamb roll which was covered in spicy oil.

“It only looks spicy. Do you want me to feed you?” Nian Xi blinked and said, “It’s delicious.”

Under her threat, Jiang Yuning reluctantly opened his mouth.

She put the lamb into his mouth. Before long, Jiang Yuning’s lips, cheeks, and eyes all turned red. He looked even prettier than some girls.

“It’s so hot.” He drank a couple of glasses of water in a row, then finally felt better. With a grievance, he glanced at Nian Xi and said, “You lied to me.”

Nian Xi stared at his red, tempting lips. How could she not kiss those lips?

She grasped his collar, pulled him close to her, then kissed him on the lips.

Jiang Yuning was so shocked that he forgot about the burning feeling in his mouth.

It took a while for him to come back to his senses. Even his ears had turned red. He hurriedly looked around. Thankfully, no one was paying attention to him and Nian Xi. He still felt shy.

“How could you kiss me in public?”

In ancient times, what she did just now would be called a breach of morality. But somehow, he liked it so much.

“I don’t need to explain.” Nian Xi grinned, then dropped her head and continued eating.

Jiang Yuning was stunned.

At that very moment, he stared at Nian Xi who was showered under the light, feeling that she was so charming.

Xi, feed me, he thought then finally said to her.

“Sure,” Nian Xi gave a faint smile. Occasionally, she put the spicy food into his mouth.

Jiang Yuning was disappointed because Nian Xi didn’t kiss him again after he ate the spicy food.
