After the contract was signed, Xiao Si was in a very good mood. "Tingting, we’ve won this battle. Did you see how dark those Chuanqi Gaosha people’s faces were when we signed the contract just now? They suffered a loss but can’t talk about it. Haha! Oi, let’s go get a drink to celebrate. Luosang needs to come too. She’s the one who made this possible. Ah, right, we also need to celebrate now that you’re back on your feet," he said.
Nian Junting slightly raised his brows, as he, too, wanted to celebrate. He had been staying at home for two months after he was injured, and he was being driven crazy.
However, before he nodded, Luosang said, "Mr. Nian, have you forgotten about what the doctor said? You can’t drink now."
Xiao Si grinned and said, "He’ll only drink a little. It’ll be fine."
"I don’t think you should go to any crowded places before you’ve recovered completely. If any accidents happened while you are drunk, you might get stuck in bed for another month," Luosang smiled, saying this flatly. "But it’ll be alright actually. You’ll have someone to sponge-bath you, to help you to the bathroom, and to wheel your chair anyway."
Nian Junting’s face turned darker and darker when he heard her. "I’m not going. Let’s do that later," he said.
"Uh…" Xiao Si helplessly gave Luosang a thumbs-up.
He was amazed by Luosang, as she managed to figure out exactly what Nian Junting was afraid of after spending just a couple of weeks with him.
"Alright, I’ll invite other people if you aren’t going." Xiao Si shrugged
"No. My mom will come tomorrow. I didn’t spend time with her during the New Year vacation."
Xiao Si sighed and said, "Are your parents really not going to make it up? It’s been so long since that thing happened. Your dad actually does care about your mom."
Nian Junting snorted, then gave a sneer and said, "He wouldn’t have done it if he had cared about my mom,"
Xiao Si didn’t respond after hearing what he said.
Luosang listened to their conversation silently. She guessed that Nian Junting’s father did something that hurt Murong Cheng before. It was most likely cheating. No wonder some people said that the wealthier a family was, the more problems it would have.
The next day, during the Lantern Festival, Luosang helped Sister Lan make sweet dumplings in the dining room. Nian Xi soon arrived. She watched for a while and found that it was quite fun, so she took part in the dumpling-making with great interest.
The three women chatted while making the dumplings.
"Sister Luosang, I think you’ve been taking really good care of my brother. I haven’t been here for a while, but he can already walk on his own."
"The credit is not on me," said Lusoang smilingly. "Mr. Nian is persevering and has no fear towards hardships. Plus, he’s young and strong. I’ve seen many patients like him in the hospital. Many of them couldn’t stand the pain during their rehabilitation training, so they didn’t do it frequently enough. Consequently, they always needed to spend longer to recover."
"That’s true." Nian Xi raised her head, nodded, and said, "My brother is good at enduring pain, indeed. Maybe it’s because he has spent his time in the army before. You may not know that my brother used to be a special force soldier. He used to take highly intensive survival training in deserts or grasslands during every season. I don’t think anyone ordinary could cope with that kind of hardship. My dad was planning to find a way to transfer him back to the Military Region after he served a couple of years in the army so that he could be a general someday. But he was shot and injured badly near the border during a mission. He had recovered, but wasn’t able to take intensive training anymore. Plus, my mom was strongly against him staying in the army, so he retired."
While speaking, Nian Xi sighed.
Luosang gave a start when hearing that. She had heard that Nian Junting used to serve in the army, but never thought that he was a special force soldier.
