“What?” Nian Xi turned her head and saw Jiang Yuning squinting his sleepy eyes. His bangs were slightly messy and covered his delicate forehead. His entire face was indescribably cute, and it made her heart soften.
“Sleep more.” Jiang Yuning clung to her like a puppy and rubbed the tip of his nose against her clothes. His T-shirt was filled with the familiar fragrance that she was familiar with throughout the night.
“I’m not sleeping anymore.” Nian Xi shook her head decisively and pulled herself away from the beauty. “It’s my first day at your house, and I slept until late in the morning. What do your parents think? Besides, they might be preparing breakfast for us.”
“I don’t care.” Jiang Yuning’s mind could not hear anything at the moment. He just felt regretful about last night.
His eyes were no longer blurry. They were big and bright. There was still a hint of expectation in them, and his face was slightly red.
Nian Xi was speechless. Even if you don’t care, I care.
But looking at him…
She smiled. “You don’t… want to…”
Before she could finish, Jiang Yuning lowered his head in embarrassment, but a sound of “hmm” came out from his mouth like a mosquito hummed. “It’s been a long time.”
Nian Xi was tickled by his cuteness. It was rare for him to take the initiative, but he had to wait until nine o’clock to go out. It was not good.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally picked up his face and kissed it helplessly.
Jiang Yuning was overjoyed. Just when he thought she was going to take another step forward, Nian Xi said earnestly, “It hasn’t been a long time. Didn’t we do it when we met? You’ve endured it for three years, so why are you in such a hurry? Besides, didn’t you not care about this thing in the past?”
Jiang Yuning was dumbfounded. It was as if the steak in his mouth had suddenly flown away. “I… I didn’t…”
“Yes, you didn’t.” After saying that, Nian Xi sighed and let go of him. She got off the bed to change.
“Xixi…” Jiang Yuning followed her gloomily. “Yes, but after you opened that door and let me see the vast world, I’ve already spread my wings.”
Nian Xi stumbled and almost knocked into the locker room door.
She put her hands on her hips helplessly. Seriously, what happened to a puppy that used to be so innocent? Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a staccato voice coming from the living room outside.
As expected, not only did someone in the Jiang family wake up, it seemed like a guest had arrived.
However, the man in front of her did not seem to be aware of it. She could only remind him, “It seems that there are guests at your house.”
“Oh, but it’s none of my business.”
He was no longer interested in anything or anyone other than Nian Xi in front of him.
Nian Xi rubbed the space between her eyebrows. “It should be some of your relatives. After all, you’ve been missing for so long. It’s quite normal for your relatives and friends to come and see you when they know that you’re back. Didn’t your mother say last night that your aunts are quite concerned about you?”
“Oh, really? I didn’t really listen.” Jiang Yuning looked at her blankly.
Nian Xi couldn’t take it anymore. “How did you become a spy these past few years? Play dumb?”
“Cheer up,” Jiang Yuning said honestly. “There’s nothing I can do about that. In order to come back earlier, I’m so tired every day. I’ve never been so tired. I still like my old life.”
