The first rays of morning sunlight, like a quiet little sprite, gently shone on Ye Ning's face. Ye Ning slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Jingchen's sleeping face beside her, which was as content as a child's. Thinking of the craziness of last night, Ye Ning felt both shy and sweet.
Ye Ning wanted to turn around and doze off for a while, but she couldn't help but continue to stare at Xiao Jingchen's sleeping face.
Her fingertips unconsciously traced his slightly curly hair, smooth forehead, thick, sword-like eyebrows, high nose bridge, and full, sensual lips like roses—perfect as a Michelangelo sculpture.
She had always known that Xiao Jingchen was handsome. Back in their student days, he was the object of pursuit for countless girls, and quite a few bold girls even came to her home.
Xiao Jingchen never showed any interest in those girls. Ye Ning once jokingly asked him if he liked any of them, but he told her seriously that he already had someone he loved.
But the naive Ye Ning didn't understand his meaning at that time. Now that she thinks about it, there were actually many clues all along: the way he looked at her, the things he did for her, and his hostility towards Li Churan.
It's all her fault for being so slow-witted, which caused us to miss each other for so many years.
"Ye Ning!" Xiao Jingchen mumbled in his sleep as he turned over.
"Jingchen, I'm here! We'll never be apart again." Ye Ning gently kissed Xiao Jingchen's forehead.
"Ye Ning, you stole a kiss from me." Xiao Jingchen suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a sly smile like a fox.
Ye Ning was startled and guiltily smoothed her hair behind her ear. "No way."
"No? Then what were you doing just now!" Xiao Jingchen deliberately moved closer to Ye Ning.
"I'm kissing you openly and honestly," Ye Ning said proudly.
"Then I'll kiss you openly and honestly too!"
The two were playfully wrestling on the bed when suddenly Xiao Jingchen stopped and stared intently at Ye Ning.
Ye Ning looked down and saw that her body was already exposed, with her voluptuous figure on full display.
After a whole night of fussing, Ye Ning's rose-like skin was covered in purplish-red hickeys.
Ye Ning hurriedly covered herself with the blanket to hide her private parts, but it was too late.
Xiao Jingchen's eyes darkened, and he pounced like a leopard.
Inside, a tidal wave of groans surged, while outside, the weather was fine and sunny.
An hour later, the room finally quieted down, the lingering ambiguous atmosphere a testament to the intensity of what had just transpired.
Ye Ning felt all her strength drained away, while Xiao Jingchen seemed full of energy.
Xiao Jingchen threw back the covers and wrapped his arms around Ye Ning's waist.
"Again? Please spare me!" Ye Ning thought to herself.
She finally realized just how energetic Xiao Jingchen was.
Xiao Jingchen noticed Ye Ning's embarrassment and deliberately teased her, "Ye Ning, should we...?"
"No, no!" Ye Ning quickly shrank under the covers, then suddenly poked her head out, her eyes sparkling, and said coquettishly, "Can it be tomorrow?"
"You silly girl, I was just kidding." Xiao Jingchen affectionately pinched Ye Ning's nose. "Come here, hug my neck!"
"What are you doing?" Ye Ning became wary again.
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just carrying you to take a bath, hurry up! Do you want to go out like this?" Xiao Jingchen said, both amused and exasperated.
Ye Ning looked at her sticky body and obediently wrapped her arms around Xiao Jingchen's neck.
Half an hour later, the two finally emerged from the room feeling refreshed.
As soon as Ye Ning stepped out of the room, she saw Wang Ma cleaning up not far away.
"Miss, young master, you're out! I've already prepared breakfast!"
Good heavens, she didn't hear what happened in the room just now! Damn it, I told her to come over later yesterday.
Ye Ning shyly hid behind Xiao Jingchen.
Xiao Jingchen quite frankly instructed Wang Ma to clean the room. Thinking of the mess in the room and those ambiguous traces, Ye Ning couldn't help but blush.
"Don't be shy, we're openly together. Let's go eat first!" Xiao Jingchen casually put his arm around Ye Ning's shoulder, as if he wanted the whole world to know that he and Ye Ning were together.
Breakfast was simple: milk, eggs, toast, and bacon.
Ye Ning usually eats very little in the morning, but today, because she expended so much energy, she ate almost 1.5 times her usual breakfast.
After finishing her meal, Ye Ning planned to go back to her room for a nap, but Xiao Jingchen stopped her.
"Wait, we're going out later! Let's catch up on sleep when we get back! I'll go with you." Xiao Jingchen hugged Ye Ning from behind and whispered in her ear.
"Go out? Where to?" Ye Ning asked, somewhat puzzled. "Stop it, stop it, it tickles!"
"Of course we should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"
"What are you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau for?" Ye Ning continued, puzzled.
"Of course we should get a marriage certificate! I'm already yours, aren't you going to take responsibility?" Xiao Jingchen said with a hint of resentment and coquettishness.
"But the apocalypse is coming soon, what can we do even if we get a marriage certificate?" Ye Ning asked hesitantly.
“Ye Ning, I know the apocalypse is coming soon.” Xiao Jingchen suddenly said seriously, “But I hope we can have all the rituals that the secular world has. Even if the world is about to be destroyed, I am willing to do everything with you.”
"Okay!" Ye Ning hugged Xiao Jingchen, moved.
A moment later, Ye Ning, who was packing her things, said anxiously.
"Jingchen, I think I left my bag with my documents at the hotel." She hadn't planned to go back to the shelter for the next few days, so she left her luggage at the hotel.
"Let's go to the hotel to pick it up!"
"Okay!" Ye Ning nodded.
