Chapter 1172: You Are Getting Sneakier and Sneakier Now. You Even Lied to Me

It’s done.
Feeling that more and more people were looking for her, Nian Xi finished brushing his hair and quickly put the hairbrush back into her purse.

Already?
Jiang Yuning said disappointedly. He wanted more of that.

Or? Your hair is short, not like the hair of us girls. It won’t take much time to brush your hair,
Nian Xi sighed. Sometimes, she was jealous of boys for their short hair.
Jiang Yuning landed his eyes on her face. Recalling how she brushed his hair, he said without thinking,
You brushed my hair, so now I’m gonna brush yours.

While speaking, he reached toward her purse to take the hairbrush. Nian Xi hurriedly stopped him and said,
Thank you, but not now. My hair is good.


I think it’s not,
Jiang Yuning blinked his watery eyes and said,
It’s a mess.

Nian Xi took out her phone and used it as a mirror, looked at her own hair. Her hair was fine.
With a smile, she gave Jiang Yuning a glare and said to him,
It’s not. You are getting sneakier and sneakier now. You even lied to me.


Jiang Yuning dropped his head embarrassedly. It was his first time lying, and she saw right through him.

Alright, my colleagues are all working. I can’t keep talking to you. I need to work. Thank you for lunch. I gotta go,
Nian Xi waved at him.


Will you… come here tomorrow?
Jiang Yuning asked anxiously.

I don’t know yet,
said Nian Xi seriously,
Don’t always come here on account of me. Do what you need to do. I have to solve this case as soon as possible. The murderer is hiding among you guys. He might have committed murder for revenge, or because he has mental problems. If he has mental problems, he might hurt other people. You should be careful.

Was she worried about him?
Jiang Yuning was happy. Without thinking, he said,
Coming here to see you, that’s what I need to do.

Nian Xi was stunned a little.
He dropped his head, kicked the floor with the tip of his shoe, while continuing shyly in a low voice,
I’m not a child anymore. I need to find someone to share my life with.


Nian Xi almost burst out laughing. Could he be cuter?
Am I that person? But, didn’t you say that you aren’t pursuing me?
She joked with him.

I… I…
Jiang Yuning immediately grew anxious.

Seeing that he was almost sweating, Nian Xi laughed,
Alright, alright, I get it. I was joking. I have to go. Talk to me on WeChat if you have anything to say to me.

After saying that, she turned and went back into the lab.
Jiang Yuning spent a short while watching her, then slowly left.
While eating, Nian Xi began searching through the lab for more weapons. Fang Xi came to her and laughed,
Oh, beef, chicken wings, yams, cherries, Professor Jiang is such a caring person.


Would you like a chicken wing?
Nian Xi handed him one.
Fang Qi hurriedly shook his head and said,
Professor Jiang prepared this exclusively for you. Based on what I know about you, I think you’ve decided to give him a chance, haven’t you? After all, you accepted the food.

He hadn’t known Nian Xi for long, but he knew that she would not take advantage of others, especially guys. Accepting kindness from someone without thorough consideration would always make things complicated.
Nian Xi thought for a moment and said,
He’s crazy about me. Why wouldn’t I give him a chance?


You didn’t want to be with him back when we were in Europe, did you?
Fang Qi reminded her,
I think he’s a nice guy, but you have to be clear about your own feelings. Is it because you’re lonely? It is because your families want you to get married? Do you just want a marriage partner? Or, do you like him because of who he is? You have to make it clear, or, it might be unfair for both of you.
