Jiang Yuning sat in the darkness, stayed silent.
Nian Xi leaned toward him to kiss him. He hurriedly, tremblingly put his arms around her.
Her body was as soft as it was last night. They kissed each other so deeply. When Jiang Yuning almost lost himself in that kiss, Nian Xi pushed him away, gasped and said, “I’m going home, Baby. Be careful. Text me when you got home.”
“Xi…” Jiang Yuning fixed his eyes on her. He hated to part with her.
“Goodnight,” Nian Xi picked up her bag, got off the car and left.
Watching her disappear from his sight, Jiang Yuning felt extremely perturbed.
He sat in the car alone, until Uncle Han called him, “Mr. Jiang, when will you come back? Are you lost? Do you need me to pick you up?”
“I don’t want to go home,” said Jiang Yuning with a low voice, “I don’t want to.”
“What’s wrong?” Uncle Han immediately asked him, “You’re not having another fight with Miss. Nian, are you?”
“No… I want to stay at Nian Xi’s place for the night,” Jiang Yuning sounded frustrated.
“Stay there then,” said Uncle Han.
Jiang Yuning paused for a few seconds, then had his eyes glow.
He ended the call with Uncle Han and called Nian Xi right away.
“Are you home already?” Nian Xi chuckled.
“No, Xi, I got lost. GPS can’t help me to find my home, so I came back to your apartment,” said Jiang Yuning, sounding upset, “Can I stay at your place tonight?”
“But, didn’t you say that you don’t want what happened last night to happen again?” Nian Xi laughed.
“I can sleep in your guest room,” Jiang Yuning said hurriedly.
“Alright. I’ll take you in. Do you need me to come downstairs to get you?” Nian Xi asked.
“No, no, I’ll go up myself,” Jiang Yuning hurriedly got off the car.
Nian Xi opened the door before he knocked. She just had a shower. Leaning against the doorframe, she said to him with a faint smile, “Didn’t I set up GPS for you? Why were you lost anyway? Where did you get lost?”
“I… don’t remember,” Jiang Yuning wasn’t expecting her to ask that question. As someone who had never told a lie before, he panicked.
“You were lost, so, how did you find my apartment?” Nian Xi tittered.
Jiang Yuning blinked, scratched the back of his head, stuttered, “It-it might be the power of love.”
Nian Xi couldn’t help but burst in laughter.
That was a perfect excuse.
“Xi…” Jiang Yuning felt utterly embarrassed.
“Alright, come in,” Nian Xi spared the boy.
Jiang Yuning sighed with relief.
…
Ten pm, Jiang Yuning tossed and turned on the bed, couldn’t fall asleep.
After last night, he found himself unable to sleep without holding Nian Xi in his arms.
It was just one night, but he seemed to be addicted already.
What could he do? He asked to sleep in the guest room.
He struggled for an hour, then couldn’t help but get up and knocked on Nian Xi’s bedroom door.
“Come in,” Nian Xi’s voice was heard.
He opened the door and went in. Nian Xi was still up, sitting on the bed, spending time with her tablet computer. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” she said to him.
“I can’t sleep,” Jiang Yuning murmured, “It’s so dark in your guest room. I’m scared.”
Nian Xi didn’t know what to say. Couldn’t he come up with a better excuse?
“You slept in that room before, didn’t you?” She tried not to laugh out loud, said, “Why weren’t you scared back then?”
“I… I am cowardly now,” Jiang Yuning dropped his head so deep that his chin almost touched his chest.
Nian Xi stepped on the carpet, walked up to him with bare feet, said to him straightforwardly, “I think it would be better if you were honest with me and told me that you wanted to come here because you couldn’t sleep without me.”
