Nian Xi grabbed Luosang’s hands and said, “Sister Lusoang, my brother has agreed to let you go to a movie with me tomorrow afternoon.”

Luosang paused shortly, then said, “But, doesn’t your brother need someone to take care of him…”

“Just take half a day off. The steward can take care of me,” said Nian Junting. While speaking, he looked at Nian Xi with a helpless look in his eyes, as if saying—’See, I know she likes me. Otherwise, why would she be so worried about me? She doesn’t even want to leave me alone for a short while.”

The corners of Nian Xi’s mouth twitched, then she said, “Alright… I’ll be leaving now.”

She really wanted to yell at her brother and tell him that—’She’s your carer, and it’s normal for her to worry about you!’

‘She likes you?’ thought Nian Xi. ‘Only if she’s sick-minded. Why else would she like someone as nitpicky as you?’

After the steward left, Nian Junting found a comfortable spot on the bed, then laidd down to watch TV. Luosang sat beside him, feeding him grapefruit.

After spending a long time eating, he suddenly discovered that she was now peeling grapefruits much faster than she had in the daytime, so he said, “Not bad, your grapefruit-peeling skills have improved. As I thought, you needed practice.”

Luosang took a deep breath, then sighed and responded, “I cut every segment of grapefruit at the bottom, so they’re easier to peel.”

Hearing her, Nian Junting glanced at the peeled grapefruit in the plate, then said, “You’re smart. It seems that you’re quite suitable for this job.”

Luosang wanted to die when she heard him.

It wasn’t a happy thing for her to be told that she was suitable for grapefruit-peeling.

It was almost twelve o’clock when the sounds of fireworks were heard from outside, and colorful fireworks began to spread in the sky.

Luosang stood by the window, looking at the fireworks and feeling the deep sadness and loneliness from her heart.
