Chapter 35 - Happy New Year (2/2)

Before, her families would always get together at New Year, and her father would enjoy a drink with Yi Jingxi. But now, her father was in prison, she was away from home, and her home was gone.

She closed the window to block the sounds of the firecrackers. Nian Junting was sitting on the bed, replying to messages. She a.s.sumed that many people were sending New Year’s greetings to him.

The room suddenly quieted down. Nian Junting raised his head to look at Luosang, who was leaning against the bed, then frowned and said, “You have someone to send you a New Year’s greetings too, don’t you?”

“No.” Luosang smiled and dropped her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes.

“That’s sad. Not even that fatso texted you? Isn’t he chasing after you?” Nian Junting’s narrowed eyes showed slight sympathy for her as he said, “He pays too little attention to the girl he’s chasing. If he likes you, he’d definitely message you with a warm blessing just past twelve. I think you should forget him. He’s most likely casting a wide net and playing with you.”

Luosang remained silent. She never thought about being with Doctor Gu.

Seeing that she stayed silent, Nian Junting thought that she felt even sadder than before. So, he hesitated for a moment, then asked, “What’s your phone number?”

Luosang paused for a second, then gave him her number.

He lowered his head to tap on his phone. Soon afterwards, Luosang’s phone buzzed.

She lowered her head to check it and found a message from a strange number that said “Happy New Years”.

“That’s my number,” Nian Junting looked at her and said, believing that she was obviously touched. “Don’t misunderstand me, and please don’t deepen your feelings for me. I just felt pity for you, and I mean nothing more than that. I have absolutely no desire for you.” His lips curved in a proud smile.

“I know.” She couldn’t stand his extremely arrogant and narcissistic att.i.tude, but still sensed a warmth flowing across her heart.

Seeing Luosang gazing at him with a faint smile on her face, Nian Junting sighed and rubbed his own hair.

He believed that he was too nice. Judging by the look in her eyes, he felt that she now loved him more and more, and that was terrible.
