Chapter 1261: Chapter 841: Hehe, I Have to Survive
Qianqian was speechless and sent a rolling eyes emoji.
"Can’t be bothered with you."
"Go to sleep!!"
Jiang Nian didn’t mind. He squinted and glanced at Qianqian’s last message.
Replied casually, picked up the computer and started working.
It was late at night when he picked up the phone again. Hesitantly sent Qianqian a meme.
"(Lying down)."
In the next second, Qianqian replied instantly.
"What do you want?"
The tone was a bit sharp, almost leaping off the page. Jiang Nian chuckled, slowly typing.
"Just checking if you’re asleep."
"I am asleep." Qianqian tossed a speechless emoji, "Don’t mess with me, I’ll punch you!"
Jiang Nian: "Can’t sleep."
Qianqian: "Aren’t you ashamed, always this late at night... You do this again next time..."
"Alright, there won’t be a next time." Jiang Nian brushed it off and then started gossiping about random stuff.
Chatted for two minutes before revealing his true intentions.
"Are you coming over?"
There was silence for half a minute, then an angry hammering emoji, "Are you crazy!"
"Can’t sleep, just wanna cuddle and chat." Jiang Nian sent the classic saying, "Do nothing else."
Qianqian’s face was thin, naturally wouldn’t agree.
"(Middle finger)!"
Jiang Nian expected it, he was just joking.
"Should I come over?"
This time there was silence for a whole minute and a half, Qianqian didn’t reply, but the message was definitely read.
He didn’t rush, just quietly waited.
Usually, at this moment, it’s a one-line decision. If she doesn’t budge, just go to sleep.
Sure enough, the message refreshed the next second.
"Can you really sleep peacefully?"
Got it.
After dawdling for ten minutes, Jiang Nian quietly headed out. Qianqian cautiously stood at the door, letting him in.
They felt guilty like thieves, exchanged glances and started gesturing.
"Into the room?"
"Yeah."
"Wait, I need to go to the bathroom." Qianqian pointed towards the bathroom direction, then acted separately.
"OK." Jiang Nian maintained a friendly gesture.
Once in the room.
He couldn’t see a thing, did she go out without turning on the lights? He grumbled a bit, then groped his way to a chair.
Didn’t sit on the bed, to avoid invading Qianqian’s space.
She was timid, might hesitate and then regret it. Pushing himself away would be counterproductive.
Haste makes waste.
After a while, Qianqian returned from the bathroom. Seeing the pitch-dark room, Jiang Nian sitting at the desk.
"Why are you sitting here?"
"Nothing, just waiting for you." Jiang Nian didn’t get up, watched Qianqian composedly get on the bed.
Made her feel like she was in control, giving her some security, at least she wouldn’t immediately regret it.
Sure enough, Qianqian didn’t back out. Although even days later, it still felt a bit awkward.
After all, different circumstances matter.
Sleeping in the future vs. cuddling to sleep now are completely different, acceptance levels vary.
"You... You come up here." She lowered her voice, gently patted the bed’s other half.
"Oh." Jiang Nian smoothly got onto the bed, gently embraced Qianqian, with the air conditioner humming.
Covered with a thin blanket, their temperatures gradually rose, leading to natural kissing.
She easily got into the mood, becoming slightly dazed, wearing a little strappy sleep dress.
With a slight tug, she moved to the side.
Qianqian’s back was straight, eyes still closed. Held Jiang Nian’s head, pressed it to her chest.
Like suppressing for long, she exhaled deeply.
"Today....."
"Hmm?"
"Today is... an exception." Qianqian held him, mind a mess, wanted to just cuddle and sleep.
Yet felt it wasn’t enough, not straightforward enough.
....
The next day.
Jiang Nian boarded the flight to Yuhang, ten minutes before takeoff, browsed unread messages.
Last night after finalizing her bedtime routine, Qianqian directly went to sleep. Felt guilty, didn’t dare get up in the morning.
Fortunately, Song Xiyun felt guilty too, neither got up early.
Naturally, no one sent him off.
But Jiang Nian didn’t mind, the next half month will be busier than a spinning top.
Even so, he still needed to make time for three things.
Hosting Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe, this was simple. Just friends visiting, a hotel would do.
After all, controlling the scatterbrained Wang Yuhe was difficult.
Jiang Nian didn’t want his careful efforts of two months to end up ruined by her, that’d be too much.
Second, he promised to accompany Zhizhi on a trip. Estimated to take two to three days.
Third, a visit back to Beijing was necessary.
Damn!!
Jiang Nian thought it was fortunate he didn’t need much sleep, able to stretch a day to 48 hours.
Otherwise, this whole routine would exhaust him.
The following day.
Chen Yunyun and Wang Yuhe walked from the airbridge to the terminal. Since the cost was similar, they chose to fly.
Early booking saved some money.
"Is he here?" Wang Yuhe looked curiously, taking in the night view outside, "He said he wouldn’t pick me up."
"Yeah." Chen Yunyun couldn’t be bothered to explain, Jiang Nian tricked her, avoiding unnecessary drama.
But without Wang Yuhe, she wouldn’t dare come.
Just felt odd.
Shortly after, Jiang Nian met the two women at the airport. Given their luggage, it was quite convenient.
"Let’s go, I called a car."
Jiang Nian used the airport pick-up service, complimentary. With the month refreshed, might as well use it.
The two women got into the Audi, sitting in the back. Wondered whether it was the wrong car, exchanging puzzled looks.
Until they reached the hotel, they realized Jiang Nian had probably made it big over the summer.
