The person who made the pancakes was a middle-aged woman. Nian Xi walked over and asked directly, "Auntie, why is the price of your pancakes so different? I bought an egg pancake from you last time, and it cost me twelve yuan. Why is he so cheap? Ten yuan for two deluxe pancakes?"
The middle-aged woman glanced at Jiang Yuning, who was standing behind her, and her eyes glowed. "How can that be the same? Look at him. He's so nice. Not to mention ten yuan, I'd give him a gift every day."
Nian Xi's face twitched. "But I'm pretty too."
The middle-aged auntie chuckled. "No matter how pretty you are, you're still a girl. I don't like it. But I didn't expect you to find such a good-looking boyfriend. Next time you come and tell me your boyfriend's name, I'll give you a discount."
“”
So she had to rely on this kind of person to get a discount?
Nian Xi turned to look at Jiang Yuning.
He smiled at her, and the pure smile on his face seemed to melt people.
Nian Xi couldn't take it anymore.
Indeed, if she were an aunt, she would probably do the same.
"He's not my boyfriend," Nian Xi explained.
"Oh," the middle-aged woman nodded. "Then there's no discount."
“”
This was a society that only cared about appearances.
But it wasn't a big deal.
The pancake seller wasn't a man.
Nian Xi angrily walked toward the police station.
Back in his office, Jiang Yuning sat down and put the pancake on the table in front of her.
Nian Xi glared at him. At first, she wanted to say no, but on second thought, why not?
It would be a waste to throw away such a deluxe version.
She bent her head to grab it and eat it.
Sure enough, it was different with a lot of fillings.
"Nian Xi, your boyfriend is here tonight. Li and I are out on patrol. I'll leave this place to you," Chen Shunhua suddenly knocked on the door and said with a grin.
Nian Xi's face darkened. She glanced at Jiang Yuning and saw that he was eating his pancake with his head lowered. He didn't seem to notice what the people outside were talking about. She breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing.
However, she still walked over and whispered to Chen Shunhua, "I told you he's not my boyfriend. Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Shunhua winked and lowered his voice. "Alright, you should be responsible."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Before she left, she glanced at Jiang Yuning with desire. She hated herself for not being younger.
Nian Xi sighed.
She was on duty at the police station at night. If she didn't arrest anyone, she would be quite free. She sat on the chair and played with her phone, ignoring Jiang Yuning.
After he finished eating, he stared blankly out of the window.
Nian Xi had been scrolling through her phone for about twenty minutes. When she raised her head, she was impressed by how long he had been staring out of the window.
She couldn't help but stand up and follow his gaze. She saw that he was looking at the moon in the sky.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Yuning came back to his senses, lowered his head, and wrote, "Moon."
Nian Xi took a closer look at the moon that night. It was a crescent moon, and it was quite pretty. She didn't expect him to have such interests. "Eh, I wonder how bored and lonely Chang 'e must be on the moon," she said.
Just like how she felt right now, her entire heart felt empty.
Jiang Yuning glanced at her confusedly, furrowed his delicate brows, and lowered his head to pick up the pen again. However, his pen paused on the paper for a moment, then he put it down. Surprisingly, he started speaking in a clear, jade-like voice, "There can't be living things on the moon. There's no air, water, or atmosphere on the moon. During the day, there's no atmosphere to weaken the sun's rays, so the sunlight can be more than a hundred degrees. At night, there's no atmosphere to protect the moon, so the temperature will drop to more than a hundred and eighty degrees below zero.
Nian Xi was stunned.
This was the second time she had heard him talk so much.
In fact, his voice was very pleasant.
However, when she was talking about a romantic character like Chang 'e, wasn't it a little too much for him to talk about so many profound things?
She didn't want to hear that at all.
Seeing that he was already talking about China's astronauts landing on the moon, Nian Xi hurriedly interrupted him. "Enough, I'm talking about Chang 'e. Shouldn't you be talking about Jade Rabbit and Hou Yi?"
Jiang Yuning blinked, then lowered his head to write what Jade Rabbit and Hou Yi were.
“”
Nian Xi was shocked again. This person didn't even know about Chang 'e and Hou Yi.
She had no choice but to tell him, "Hou Yi was a mythical character in ancient times. Chang 'e was Hou Yi's wife. She was extremely beautiful. It was said that there were ten suns in the past, and he shot down nine of them."
Before she could finish, Jiang Yuning hurriedly interrupted her, "That's not scientific. This should be the effect of ice crystals. When ice crystals are exposed to sunlight, they will refract. When the seven colors of the sun are refracted, due to the different degrees of refraction, there will be …"
"Alright, stop talking. I'm not interested in these things." Nian Xi was about to faint if she kept listening. "I already told you that it's a mythical story. I finally understand why you don't understand these things. Only a psychopath would come here to talk to you about these things."
Hearing that, Jiang Yuning frowned and wrote again, "I'm talking about science."
Nian Xi sighed. "I'm talking to you about science. You don't even need a piece of paper to write. You speak so fluently."
Jiang Yuning remained silent.
Nian Xi said, "You … I think you can only find a crazy female scientist as your girlfriend in the future. The two of you will talk about science when you have nothing to do. Otherwise, any woman who is with you will really go crazy."
Jiang Yuning pursed his lips, then slightly moved his lips, then lowered his head.
His black and fluffy hair reminded Nian Xi of Xiao Si. Xiao Si seemed to look like this every time Nian Junting bullied her.
She sighed. At that moment, someone called her from outside. "Nian Xi, come out for a moment. Someone called the police. It's a couple. The wife said that her husband hit her."
Nian Xi walked out and saw a couple standing in the living room. The woman's face was bruised and swollen. Her husband was sitting on a chair, his cheeks red. He reeked of alcohol even before he got close.
"Police, she hit me. She hit me like this," the woman cried as soon as she saw Nian Xi.
Hearing that, the man slammed the table hard and said angrily, "So what if I hit you? Do you think I didn't see it? I saw you being sent home by a man with my own eyes."
Nian Xi frowned and slammed the table hard as well. She pointed at the man and said, "What are you slamming for? This is the police station, not your house. You better watch yourself. No matter what reason you have for hitting someone, it's wrong of you to hit your wife like this."
The man was drunk and couldn't control himself at all. He even scolded Nian Xi, "You b * tch, do you think I'm afraid of you just because you're a police officer? I've never been afraid of anyone."
Nian Xi was furious. "I think you're quite drunk. People like you should stay in the police station tonight and wait until you're sober."
