Lu Nanchen isn’t a talkative person to begin with, let alone when he’s seriously preoccupied. As Yu Ting lay in bed, she gradually became more alert as she woke up. As the time passed, she began to feel bored, even though Lu Nanchen continued to attend to her leg.
The man’s gentle touch gradually replaced the original muscle soreness.
Yu Ting occasionally glanced at the ceiling, her thoughts floating, and out of curiosity, she asked.
"Have you ever been in a relationship before me?"
Lu Nanchen had never mentioned it, and she had never asked before either.
She guessed he probably hadn’t been in a relationship. He seemed too reserved.
But if he had dated someone, he probably treated her well too.
Before Lu Nanchen could respond, Yu Ting let her imaginings run wild. By the end, she felt a slight sting of jealousy.
"I haven’t been in a relationship." Lu Nanchen’s hands didn’t pause as he answered Yu Ting without hesitation.
If Yu Ting had been part of Lu Nanchen’s student life, she would have discovered that he wasn’t just devoid of girlfriends, but he barely had any female acquaintances he could remember by name.
He thought he would rather spend the spare time solving math problems instead of chatting with girls.
Everything about how to interact with girls, including what to be cautious about, Lu Nanchen only started learning after meeting Yu Ting.
Because he really wanted to learn, deep down.
Hearing Lu Nanchen’s firm answer, Yu Ting felt substantially more at ease.
After discussing the topic, the room once again fell into silence.
Yu Ting thought it would continue this way, with the silence going on until Lu Nanchen finished massaging her leg and went to prepare dinner.
Unexpectedly, Lu Nanchen switched gears: "What about you? How many relationships did you have before our marriage?"
Yu Ting was somewhat of a celebrity in this regard at Chang Ming University.
Without asking whether Yu Ting had had any relationships, but assuming she had, Lu Nanchen asked how many directly.
Yu Ting: ...
Um.
"None."
Although the original host had liked many boys and pursued quite a few, none of them had worked out.
She was still a solo player.
"Oh right."
"I heard at school that you were unsuccessful in chasing after someone."
Yu Ting: ...
"So how many people have you liked before? Be honest." Lu Nanchen chose another way to ask the same question after thinking for a while.
Yu Ting: ...
Yu Ting originally planned to keep it vague and perhaps say one or two. After all, they were all the original host’s crushes and had nothing to do with her.
However, he added that last sentence...
Yu Ting: ...
"Tell the truth ... about seventy, eighty, ninety, or hundred?" Yu Ting took a speculative stab. From childhood until now, the original host had had many crushes, starting from the first grade. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a romantic.
Yu Ting was understating the number.
After hearing her response, Lu Nanchen’s hands massaging her leg seemed to apply more pressure.
"You really were quite a player, huh?"
Lu Nanchen’s voice was somber, as if he was disappointed with her. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Seventy, eighty, ninety or a hundred?
How old was she only?
A new crush every year?
Thinking about it, Lu Nanchen’s hands applied even more pressure.
"I was young and didn’t know any better. But I haven’t had any romantic interests recently." Yu Ting responded in all honesty.
"What other interest could you possibly have?" Lu Nanchen promptly retorted.
"No other interest."
Yu Ting answered quickly, feeling that she should shift the topic.
"What are you making for dinner later?"
"Porridge."
Yu Ting: ?
"What else?"
"Just porridge. I’ll cook a bigger portion."
...
...
Yu Ting: ?
