1162: How Could She Be so Straightforward?

How Could She Be so Straightforward?

Jiang Yuning raised his head and landed his eyes on her. A few seconds later, he suddenly stood up. After spending another a few seconds looking at her, he raised a post-it note that said—I'm waiting for you. 2

"How long have you been waiting here? Why didn't you just come in?" Nian Xi was bemused. She had such complicated feelings about him. Jiang Yuning was an outstanding scientist. She had seen him glowing in front of countless people, and she admired him.

He shouldn't have put himself in such a low place for her.

Jiang Yuning lowered his head to write another note. Nian Xi grabbed his pen away from him and said, "Stop writing. Didn't you talk to me when I saw you last time? You need to get rid of this bad habit."

Jiang Yuning pressed his thin lips together, then finally started talking, "I went there, saw you busy, so I didn't interrupt you."

Nian Xi didn't know about that.

Sometimes, she was so focused on her work she even forgot all about the time.

She looked at him, feeling her heart melt.

She turned her eyes to the medicines on the chair, "Why did you buy so many drugs? Are you having a kidney problem? Why are you having kidney problems at such a young age?"

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard herself saying that. She heard that the people who had kidney problems weren't getting enough sex.

So, she couldn't help but look at him from head to toe, and her eyes lingered between his legs for a couple of seconds.

'Is he having that kind of problem?' She wondered. She remembered accidentally touching him once.

Is it because he spent all his time in the lab doing science projects?

"I'm telling you, these can't cure you," Nian Xi picked up a box of medicine and said, "You should get some exercise. Look at you. You're skinny. If exercise doesn't work, you need to go to the hospital and see a doctor. Don't take these pills. You don't even know what's in them."

Jiang Yuning heard what she said, couldn't help but drop his head to look at himself. He suddenly recalled seeing her ex-boyfriend's picture. "I get it. You like strong ones," he said, frustratedly.

The grievance could be detected from his words.

It had been so long, but she still liked strong boys.

He thought she had gotten back together with her ex-boyfriend, so he quit exercising. If he had known she was still single, he would have developed some muscles.

He could start today, though.

Realizing she had probably hurt his feelings, Nian Xi wanted to slap herself on the mouth. What did she say? He might be a lonely person, but he still had his pride.

"Eh… I mean… It's not such a big deal. Nowadays, people are all under heavy pressure. Many guys have the same problem."

Jiang Yuning was confused.

Nian Xi coughed slightly. Did she have to say it out loud straightforwardly?

"Just… That kind of problem."

"What problem?" Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head.

Nian Xi rolled her eyes. Did he really not understand? Or was he just pretending not to?

"Forget it," she said.

"No, you have to make it clear," Jiang Yuning refused to drop the subject. If she thought he wasn't good enough in something, he'd need to improve. He couldn't let himself be not-good-enough in her eyes.

Nian Xi lost her patience, so she said, "I meant bad in bed, bed. Ya know? Making love? The thing people do to make babies? If you don't have that kind of problem, why did you get so many kidney reinforcements?"

Jiang Yuning popped his eyes with surprise. After realizing what she was talking about, his entire body turned red.

It turned out that she thought he was having that kind of problem.

How could she be so straightforward? How unacceptable.
