Jiang Yuning was dumbfounded.
He didnât expect Nian Xi to think badly of the two of them, but that was what he wanted to see. So he quickly nodded, âI think it makes perfect sense from the way you put it. Then we canât let them follow us. The air in the entire car will be polluted by them.â
Nian Xi shook her head and sighed, âNo matter what their character is, I shouldnât leave them just like that as long as they did not do anything bad. Itâs like when the police catch a criminal. We know that the criminal is extremely evil, but we have to protect the criminal before the law decides.â
Jiang Yuning was instantly depressed, but he quickly understood. That was probably Nian Xiâs professional habit.
Although it was only a few days, he seemed to have understood Nian Xi a little better. âXixi, you are a good policewoman.â
âThe police have to protect the citizens.â Nian Xi lowered her head and began to wash her face.
As she washed, someone suddenly hugged him from behind. Jiang Yuning whispered in her ear, âBut you have to protect yourself too.â
âI know. The reason I didnât let you sit in the front with me yesterday was that I was worried that they would rob or steal from us. I feel more at ease with you watching from behind.âNian Xi felt warm in her heart and turned around to kiss him.
Jiang Yuning suddenly understood everything.
...
At nine oâclock in the morning, the four of them set off for Tharchin. Jiang Yuning compromised with Nian Xiâs arrangement after her explanation.
After arriving at Tharchin in the evening, Nian Xi directly said to Ji Min and Zhao Yufan, âSince weâve arrived at our destination and are going to start strolling around the mountain tomorrow. Letâs part ways from here.â
âDonât,â Zhao Yufan quickly said. âStrolling around the mountain is a tough journey. It will be safer with more people around, and we can look after each other.â
Jiang Yuning frowned. He was worried that Nian Xi would agree again, so he was a little anxious. Nian Xi said calmly at once, âSometimes, having more people is a burden. We are newlyweds, so we prefer to be alone. Besides, to be honest I saw that Ji Min was a little short of oxygen when she came here. She took in a few bottles of oxygen on the way, so I advised her not to go up more. We could not bear the consequences if anything happens.â
After saying that, Nian Xi dragged Jiang Yuning to rent a tent. Summer was the peak season for tourism, so there were very few rooms. There were no rooms for those who came late, so they could only rent a tent and sleep outside.
That night, Nian Xi wrapped herself in a sleeping bag and ate beef jerky in the tent. Jiang Yuning went to the car to get coconut water. About five minutes later, he came in with a pile of things. There was something stuffed in his jacket, and there was a flashlight inside, which made his face slightly red.
âXixi, this...â Jiang Yuning took out a black nightgown with a sling from his jacket. âWhen did you bring it? I havenât seen you wear it before, and you hid it so deep inside. If I hadnât gone to look for something, I wouldnât have found it.â
Nian Xiâs expression froze, then she expressionlessly picked up a bottle of coconut water and opened it. âI wore it.â
Jiang Yuning was at a loss.
The corner of Nian Xiâs mouth twitched coldly. âI wore it on the first night I came to Tibet.â
It was so infuriating. She had dressed so beautifully that day, but he did not notice it. F*ck.
Jiang Yuning was still at loss. He was so regretful. Why hadnât he noticed it? âThen... Why didnât you wear it again?â
Nian Xiâs jaw dropped and almost blurted out the truth. However, she hesitated for a moment, afraid that it would affect his love for stargazing. After all, she shouldnât stop mankindâs exploration of the universe. âIt got colder and colder. There wasnât enough heat in the room. Wouldnât I freeze to death if I wore that?â
