Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

So she had to bring such a heavy rock back from so far.

“This is not an ordinary rock.” Shi Qingtong immediately adjusted her old black-rimmed glasses and said seriously, “This is a meteorite, a Martian meteorite. It contains a complete crystal structure of basalt and all kinds of rare minerals.”

“Oh, oh, oh.” Nian Xi was completely dumbfounded, so what was the point of giving her a Martian meteorite? She did not know how to study it, and what the hell was a basalt, but seeing Shi Qingtong’s solemn look, she had to pretend to be shocked. “Since it’s so valuable, how about…auntie, you keep it yourself.”

“No, no, no, auntie has decided to give it to you. Take it well. It’s very precious,” Shi Qingtong explained seriously.

Nian Xi’s mouth twitched as she carried a meteorite upstairs. Jiang Yuning’s eyes lit up when he saw it. “My mom gave you the Martian meteorite?”

Nian Xi nodded. Just as she was about to ask him to return the meteorite, Jiang Yuning became happy. “I didn’t expect her to give you this, it’s her favorite meteorite. It’s good stuff.”

Nian Xi wanted to cry, but no tears came out. This was good stuff for you guys, but it was a useless hot potato to her. This family was weird.

“Keep it. Since it’s from her,” Jiang Yuning blinked and said, “Someone offered 15 million in the past, but my mother refused to sell it.”

Nian Xi’s legs went soft, so she was holding 15 million in her hands. “Just a stone would cost that much.”

“This is a Martian meteorite,” Jiang Yuning said matter-of-factly. “Martian meteorites are the most expensive of all meteorites. The most expensive one was once sold for 100,000 yuan per gram. This meteorite in your hands is several catties.”

Nian Xi did not say anything. She now felt that this gift was very expensive.

“Xixi, stop looking at it. Let’s go to sleep.” Jiang Yuning suddenly took the box away with a blush and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Nian Xi recovered from her shock and immediately understood. However, she pretended to know the answer and asked, “Okay, the kind of pure sleeping in the quilt.”

Jiang Yuning was stunned and shook his head hard. “I don’t want it.”

“What do you not want?” Nian Xi said with a faint smile.

Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head even harder as if his head was itchy, but his breathing became rapid. “You understand.”

“I don’t know,” Nian Xi said innocently.

“You know,” Jiang Yuning insisted. “What you used to be best at.”

Nian Xi laughed. “I’m best at catching bad guys.”

Jiang Yuning thought about it and smiled shyly. “You need handcuffs to catch bad guys. You used to love to use them on me.”

After he said that, he reached out his hand with a look of anticipation. “Quick, cuff me to the bedside table. Do whatever you want.”

“…”

Nian Xi coughed violently. This guy had turned bad too. “I can’t, I don’t have it with me now.”

“Then use the rope.” Jiang Yuning rolled his eyes.

Nian Xi smiled and did not say anything until Jiang Yuning could not take it anymore. He went up and kissed her lips lightly. “Xixi…”

He was really anxious.

“Be Good, you can tie me up this time,” Nian Xi suggested.

Jiang Yuning was stunned for a moment. When he imagined the scene, his nose suddenly bled. He really couldn’t take it anymore.

…

The next morning, when Nian Xi reached for the dumplings during breakfast, Shi Qingtong suddenly said, “Nian Xi, why are there traces of being tied up on your hands?”

Jiang Yuning choked on the congee and coughed. He quickly picked up the bowl to cover his face that was about to bleed.
