Sweetlove: Spoiled by My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 589 [Extra] Neither Looks Up to the Other

Sheng Ning’an looked helplessly at An’an, signaling her to tone it down before turning to Xu Weiran and saying, "Ignore her, let’s go!"

The two got up and left.

After walking a distance, Sheng Ning’an looked at Xu Weiran and asked, "Do a lot of girls at the institute really like you?"

Xu Weiran replied with a helpless look, "Don’t listen to their nonsense; how many girls are there in the institute, total?"

There were very few girls in scientific research, and all told, the entire institute didn’t even have enough young women to count on one hand.

Where’s the ’a lot’ in that?

Sheng Ning’an, "I’m curious, have you really never liked a girl growing up? Not even during your student years?"

Xu Weiran glanced at her and said, "You know I was in the Youth Class, I went to university at fourteen. Before university, I had nothing but studying on my mind; after starting university, all the girls I met were much older than me. Who do you think I could have liked?"

Sheng Ning’an pictured it for a moment: a fourteen or fifteen-year-old genius boy entering university, surrounded only by ladies in their twenties. In their eyes, he was just a younger brother who hadn’t grown up yet. And in his eyes, a group of ’big sisters’ four or five years older than him probably didn’t even have the same mindset.

Essentially, neither side had any interest in the other!

"What about after graduation, then? Just now I heard them say loads of girls are chasing you; didn’t you find any of them attractive?"

Xu Weiran, "It’s not that I find none of them attractive, I just don’t have that intention for the time-being. You know how busy the institute is, I don’t have much time for dating. And I’m aware that girls my age usually have some fantasies about love. Since I can’t offer what they want, why should I waste their time?"

Sheng Ning’an, "At least you’re clear-headed."

Indeed, who would want a boyfriend whose head is always filled with experiments?

Just imagine, while everyone else is out on dates, her own boyfriend would be endlessly busy with work, possibly too occupied even to reply to a text message.

If she had a boyfriend like that, she’d probably run off too. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Actually, I think you could just find someone within the institute, with everyone working together and it being convenient to meet up. Plus, they’d definitely understand you and you wouldn’t have to worry about not having common topics to talk about, right?" Sheng Ning’an suggested to him.

Xu Weiran gave her a look, "Discuss work during the day and then go home to continue discussing work?" Might as well just be colleagues instead of husband and wife, right?

Sheng Ning’an: ...

Well, that’s true!

The base was quite large, and besides the training fields and farms, there was a large lake for fishing.

Xu Weiran took her around the lake and then showed her the base’s organic farm.

By the time the two returned to the starting point, Tang Dou had skewered a pile of meat in front of him. Seeing Sheng Ning’an, he immediately called out to her, "An’an, you’re back, come here, I’ve saved a lot for you. The uncles are all great cooks; their barbecue tastes even better than what’s sold outside."

"Hahaha, if it’s delicious, eat more," the uncles laughed heartily, their mouths hardly closing. You could tell she had charmed them all quite happily.

Tang Dou belched and waved his hands over his stomach, "I can’t eat anymore, I’m full! But next time the uncles get together for a barbecue, you must invite me. It would be such a waste to only enjoy this delicious barbecue once." These were all top figures in the scientific research community, and they had powerful connections to Jing University behind them. Holding on tight to their coat-tails now would definitely be the right move.
