"It's done." Sensing that many people were looking at her, Nian Xi put the comb away.
"That's good." Jiang Yuning was disappointed. He didn't want more.
"Of course. My hair isn't that long. It doesn't take me as long to comb it as girls." Nian Xi sighed. Sometimes, she envied boys.
Jiang Yuning looked at her hair and remembered that she had just combed it for him. Without thinking, he said, "You helped me, so I'll comb it for you."
After saying that, he reached for her comb. Nian Xi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Thank you. You don't have to return the favor. My hair is neat."
"I think … it's messy." Jiang Yuning blinked his watery eyes and said, "So messy."
"…"
Nian Xi didn't believe him. She took out her phone to look at herself and found that her hair was neat.
She smiled and rolled her eyes. "How is it messy? You're getting more and more cunning. You even know how to lie."
Jiang Yuning lowered his head embarrassedly. It was the first time he had lied to someone, but he was exposed. It was so embarrassing.
"Alright, my colleagues are all busy. I can't talk to you. It's office time. Thank you for lunch. I'm going to work." Nian Xi waved her hand.
"So … are you coming to school tomorrow?" Jiang Yuning asked anxiously.
"I don't know yet. Don't come to school all the time because of me. Go do your own things. I have to solve this case as soon as possible. The murderer is hiding among us. Who knows if he's mentally ill or if he's trying to take revenge? I can't rule out the possibility that he'll attack another person. Be careful."
Was she worried about him?
Jiang Yuning was happy. Without thinking, he said, "I'm here to do my own things."
Nian Xi was stunned.
He lowered his head, tapped the ground with the tip of his shoe, and said in a low voice, "I'm not a kid anymore. It's time to work on my marriage."
Nian Xi almost burst into laughter. Could he be any cuter? She wanted to tease him. "My marriage? Didn't you just say that you didn't pursue me?"
"I … I …" Jiang Yuning panicked.
Seeing him sweat, Nian Xi smiled and said, "Alright, I got it. I won't joke with you. I'm going to work. Call me on WeChat if you need anything.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered the laboratory.
Jiang Yuning gazed at her back for a while, then slowly turned and left.
Nian Xi was searching for the murder weapon in the lab while eating. Fang Qi came over and said with a smile, "Oh, there's beef, chicken wings, yams, and cherries. Professor Jiang is so meticulous."
"Do you want a chicken wing?" Nian Xi took the lunchbox over.
Fang Qi hurriedly shook his head. "It's Professor Jiang's kind intentions, but with his personality, it seems that he has decided to get in touch with him after accepting his invitation."
Although they hadn't known each other for long, he knew that Nian Xi usually wouldn't take advantage of others, especially men. She wouldn't be able to explain herself if she accepted a man's kindness.
Nian Xi thought for a moment and said, "Why wouldn't a man who only has me in his eyes and heart give it a try?"
"Weren't you unwilling when we were in Europe?" Fang Qi reminded, "Although I think Professor Jiang is a good man, you have to be clear about your heart. Is it because you're lonely, or because your family is forcing you to get married? Is it because you want to find a suitable partner, or is it because of him? Otherwise, it would be unfair to him."
