Chapter 858 - I Like You (2/2)

She understood that Jiang Yuning was expressing a pure fondness, which had nothing to do with a relations.h.i.+p between a man and a woman.

“Thank you. I’ll see you then. I’m going to leave now,” Nian Xi said to Uncle Han. She felt that it was about time to leave.

Before Uncle Han responded, a note was put before her eyes —’Eat lunch.’

Uncle Han saw it too and said, “It’s about lunchtime, so stay for lunch. You and Mr. Jiang haven’t seen each other for long.”

Nian Xi looked at the time, then nodded.

Jiang Yuning took off the white coat, then went to wash his hands. He washed every finger very carefully with hand soap.

Nian Xi glanced at his large table; a celestial map was on it.

Uncle Han explained, “Mr. Jiang likes astronomy very much. He always says there are aliens in the universe.”

Nian Xi gave a bitter smile. In her eyes, Jiang Yuning was an alien himself. “Why didn’t he become an astronomer then? He might have a chance to go to the universe and take a look.”

“He didn’t meet the physical requirements.” Uncle Han shook his head.

At that moment, Jiang Yuning walked over with his hands washed. He seemed to be in a very good mood. He waved at Nian Xi, then led the way.

Nian Xi followed behind him. After about two minutes of walking, they arrived at dinner. The place was all white, looking like a laboratory.

Seeing her frown, Uncle Han said, “Mr. Jiang grew up in places like this. Both his parents are scientists. Except for the New Year, he was in labs all year long. His parents worked on their projects, and I took care of him.”

Nian Xi understood. Somehow, she felt some sympathy for Jiang Yuning.

Before, she always felt that he was unacceptably weird, and even wondered what kind of environment could foster a person like him. Now, she understood it all.

What was she doing when she was a child? She was happily monkeying around with Xiao Si and the others.
