Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Do You Not Feel Anything At All for Him?

“Hmm, I’m just checking to be sure, you can go ahead with your work.” Yan Su was amused after she hung up, “Lu Kang just called me and sounded weird. I am guessing that he’s calling on behalf of someone to check if you’re well.”

“Yeah, right. You and your imagination,” Luosang smiled.

“Don’t you understand? Even with that incident at the cinema, Mr. Nian was using Lu Kang to woo me as an opportunity to come see you. It didn’t strike me then, but I’m pretty sure now after the call,” insisted Yan Su.

Luosang bit her lip. She thought the same.

Yan Su continued, “I have a good impression of him, that man. You’ve made quite a dent in his ego but he still insisted on sending you home, and now he’s sending flu medications and checking up on you. He was such a gentleman at that time at the premiere too. If you end up with him, he’ll surely protect you… do you not feel anything at all for him?”

Luosang was chewing on her chopsticks, and her cheeks flushed.

Well, the answer would be no. There was something, but she couldn’t ascertain what kind of feeling it was. When she dated Yi Jingxi, he was gentle and romantic, and answered to her every need. Being with Nian Junting however, she was often the subject of his blunt banter. Sometimes she was amused, but other times his words stung.

She did find his straightforward ways an endearing trait. After all, Yi Jingxi ended up betraying her. Nian Junting wasn’t someone who would conceal his true self in front of her, and he wasn’t a hypocrite. Although he was narcissistic and abrasive with his words, he would always remain true, gentlemanly too.

“We’ll see. It’s not my dating season now, and I should be focused on my studies. Hurry up, I have to go to class soon,” Luosang said.

I also have to focus on getting away from Zhong Yi and Yi Jingxi, Luosang thought to herself.

…

At Shengting Corporation, Lu Kang looked nervously at Nian Junting who was staring at him.

He had come over and pressured him to call Yan Su in the morning. He wanted to find out how Luosang was doing, and he even had Lu Kang put the call on speaker mode. Thank goodness Yan Su was smart and didn’t let up the fact that he had sold Mr. Nian out last night.

“You heard her, Mr. Nian, Luosang is feeling much better.” Nian Junting was twirling his pen in his fingers, he had heard Lu Kang address Yan Su as Susu.

Good for him. His relationship is going more smoothly than mine. I haven’t even addressed Luosang as Luoluo yet, Nian Junting thought to himself. Hmm, Luoluo sounds nice and intimate, not bad.

Nian Junting asked, “Oh right, where are the books I wanted?”

“They will be delivered by noon today,” replied Lu Kang.

“Alright, I don’t have much for you today. Don’t disturb me if there’s nothing urgent. I will be reading in the afternoon,” Nian Junting instructed his subordinate seriously.

Lu Kang sighed, his boss was having a rough time with his love life. He was resorting to reading self-help books and guides. First about horoscopes, and now about communication.

“What about Miss Luo?” Lu Kang tried to inquire.

Nian Junting said, “I heard she’s running errands for a production team by the beach. Maybe you can go investigate around that. Arrange a meeting with the main producer while you’re at it too.”

“What would you need the information for, Mr. Nian?” Lu Kang treaded carefully.

Nian Junting wiggled his brows, “You wouldn’t understand the strategies of a dating expert,” he said gleefully.

The f*ck? He has such low EQ but he still dares call himself a dating expert? Luo Kang couldn’t help but lament.

…

At 9am, Luosang entered the classroom just in time for Professor Li’s module.

His module was focused on television broadcasting, and there were many people attending that class. She picked an unassuming corner and when she opened her text, a man with a baseball cap sat down beside her.

“Luosang, why didn’t you go to Professor Cheng’s class yesterday? I was waiting for you,” Chi Shengxu asked as he lifted his cap to reveal a big bright smile.

Chapter 139: Why Is He Here? He Looks Familiar with Luo Sang

Luosang was startled. She looked around and found that quite some people had seen Chi Shengxu. They were looking at him and whispering to each other.

“You’re from the acting department. Why’re you here?” she asked.

“You didn’t accept my invitation, so I figured you’re still upset about what happened the night before last.” Chi Shengxu rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head to look at Luosang. He didn’t care how eye-catching he was.

“I’ve told you that I don’t mind. I was working out there. I was busy,” Luosang leaned her palm against her forehead while responding, “Just go back to your classroom.”

“I don’t get to come to the broadcasting department a lot. I want to know what you’ve been leaning,” said Chi Shengxu while looking at Professor Li, who was walking in.

Professor Li was famously strict, so Luosang had no choice but to stop talking.

“Alright, quiet.” Professor Li raised a hand and said, “Christmas is only a month away. This year, our school will hold a large-scale artistic activity, which will be hosted by a student from our broadcasting department. Unlike previous years, this time, some important people from a few film and television companies, local television stations, and some famous directors will all attend.”

Once Professor Li said that, the students in the classroom all began discussing excitedly.

Seeing this, Professor Li smiled, and continued, “I think you all understand that this will be an great opportunity. The ones who deliver good performances will have a chance to be remembered. So this time, students from the other departments have all been trying their best. The host from our department also needs to be selected carefully. This host will be the face of our college. Appearance should be secondary. Most importantly, this host needs to be quick of wit and eloquent, resourceful, and able to handle all sorts of situations; she will also need to have a good voice and great sense of music.”

Luosang clenched her hands. This was an opportunity for every student in the department.

Like many of the others, she also needed a chance to stand out. However, even if she managed to impress the others, would Yi Jingxi ever give her an opportunity to build her career?

With this thought, she slowly loosened her hands, and wore a bland look again.

Shui Chang stood up and said, “Professor, I think I can do it.”

“Me too,” Ni Miao raised her hand as well.

Chi Shengxu abruptly stood up and said loudly, “Professor Li, I think Luo Sang is the best.”

Luosang gave a start, then hurriedly tried to drag his hand down.

Chi Shengxu ignored her and continued, “I heard that Luo Sang’s grade is ranked first in your department. She’s talented and experienced. I think every speech or performance she has made in school was natural and smooth. Not only that, she has a stunning appearance. She’s known as the prettiest girl in your department. And, her voice is incredibly beautiful. She can definitely attract an audience.”

Luosang paused briefly. She had seen Chi Shengxu only a few times in the recent few months, but the speech she made happened in the last semester. She didn’t think he would know about it.

“It’s Chi Shengxu. My God, why is he here? He looks familiar with Luo Sang. Are they a couple?” Many girls in the classroom showed jealousy in their eyes.

“Yeah, Professor, I agree.” Soon, some male students stood up to speak for Luosang. “We’ve heard Luo Sang sing in KTV. She’s no worse than those singers.”

“It’s true. Luo Sang is so pretty. Even if she’s talking nonsense, I’d still like to watch her.”

More and more male students agreed with Chi Shengxu. Hearing them, some girls became unhappy.

“I don’t agree,” said Ni Miao angrily, “We’re selecting a host. It’s not a beauty contest. She made masterly speeches in school, but so what? Making speeches is different from hosting. If making speech counts, I’ve taken an internship in a broadcasting station.”

“Hm, but the broadcasting station didn’t make you a host. Besides, do any of you have better grades than Luo Sang does?”
