Even as hot water was poured over his head, Jiang Ning's heart remained unsettled.
Looking back on everything that has happened in the past few days, Jiang Ning has gradually gotten used to having another person in her life. To be honest, in two months, she and Yan Keyi will have known each other for almost a year.
It's been more than three months since Yan Keyi told her that she liked her too.
At first, Jiang Ning worried that Yan Keyi's feelings for her were only based on dependence and gratitude, not love. But now, she could feel Yan Keyi's intense affection more and more.
Because of a hurdle she couldn't overcome in her heart, she hesitated to accept Yan Keyi.
But she couldn't make Yan Keyi wait for her forever.
Furthermore, she was quite certain that her feelings for Yan Keyi were growing stronger every day, and she felt it wasn't just a passing fancy.
So, can she be brave just once in a while?
As water droplets slid down her face, and the curtain of water obscured her breath, something seemed to uncontrollably surge up from the depths of her memory. That suffocating feeling seemed to invade her life once again.
While she was still in a daze, Jiang Ning realized that things she hadn't thought about for a long time seemed to have come back to haunt her.
In the past, whenever she thought of those things, she would be trapped in negative emotions for a long time and unable to extricate herself. But this time, simply because she thought of Yan Keyi, she did not get stuck in that nightmare.
To be honest, it seems that Jiang Ning hasn't been attacked by these memories for a long time since he met Yan Keyi.
Beneath this curtain of water, Jiang Ning allowed it to wash over his body and mind.
It was an hour later when they finally left the water.
After an hour, Jiang Ning had already formed his own ideas—
She wanted to trust Yan Keyi and give herself a chance.
After changing into her pajamas, Jiang Ning returned to her bedroom.
The warm, dim light from the bedside lamp illuminated Yan Keyi's face, making her appear obedient and adorable. But Jiang Ning knew that, in some ways, Yan Keyi was far braver than she was.
Goodnight, Yiyi.
Jiang Ning tiptoed into bed and placed a sincere kiss on Yan Keyi's forehead.
Although they always shared a bed, Jiang Ning rarely faced Yan Keyi. She almost always had her back to Yan Keyi, unless Yan Keyi turned around after falling asleep.
But that night, Jiang Ning watched Yan Keyi fall asleep.
As Jiang Ning's consciousness waned and he gradually became confused, he felt something snuggle into his arms.
"Sister~"
That was Yan Keyi, who instinctively snuggled into Jiang Ning's arms. In her subconscious, that was a place where she felt safe.
She knew that Jiang Ning would not refuse her.
Perhaps because he had made an important decision and let go of a long-held worry, Jiang Ning slept exceptionally well that night.
The next morning, when Jiang Ning woke up, she saw Yan Keyi kneeling and leaning on the edge of the bed, staring intently at her.
Because Yan Keyi had to go to school, she always got up earlier than Jiang Ning. Usually, when she got up, Jiang Ning would feel her movement and get up as well.
But today, Jiang Ning didn't wake up even after she finished washing up, which was quite rare for Yan Keyi. But when Jiang Ning was asleep, he let down his guard and looked at his most gentle.
At this point, no matter how you tease her, she won't argue back, so she also harbored "evil intentions," admiring Jiang Ning's appearance and secretly playing with her hair.
But who could have imagined that Jiang Ning would wake up before she could even enjoy the view!
"Sister, why are you awake?"
There was a hint of embarrassment and surprise in Yan Keyi's tone. Jiang Ning knew that she must have done something she felt guilty about to act like this.
But after being bombarded with the beauty of the person she liked first thing in the morning, she didn't want to argue with Yan Keyi anymore.
"What time is it? Yiyi, why didn't you wake me up?"
Before falling asleep last night, Jiang Ning was thinking that if she still hadn't changed her mind after waking up this morning, she would try to bring it up with Yan Keyi. But now that she's awake, her thoughts still outweigh her worries.
However, she needed some time to prepare. She hoped she could give Yan Keyi the best.
"Your sister is too tired. It's rare for her to sleep so soundly all day, so I didn't want to wake you up. By the way, I just called Sister Yun. She said she has already booked her plane tickets and hotel in L City."
It wasn't that Yan Keyi wanted to discuss work with Jiang Ning so early in the morning, but she was genuinely looking forward to the trip to L City. Besides, if you factored in the time to get to the airport, the time they had left to pack their luggage was actually quite limited.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately got up to wash up.
Because the schedule was set suddenly, they hadn't prepared anything in advance. Also, she had told Yan Keyi that after filming the show, she could take her out for two more days, so they needed to bring a little extra stuff.
While Jiang Ning was washing up and packing her luggage, Yan Keyi went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
To a certain extent, their habits of getting along and their division of labor are already perfectly suited to each other's actions.
By the time Jiang Ning finished packing, Yan Keyi had already finished cooking. After the two of them had a quick meal, they were ready to head to the airport.
After moving from her small hometown to S City to stay with her parents, Yan Keyi had been busy taking care of everything at their house. They rarely shared anything good with her. This was Yan Keyi's first real trip far from home for business or leisure. Along the way, Yan Keyi felt a sense of novelty and excitement.
"Sister, is it true that you can see the sea everywhere in L City? Is it very warm there in winter?"
Yan Keyi's curiosity stems from the fact that she has never encountered anything like this before, so she can't help but feel anticipation and curiosity.
Jiang Ning felt a pang of sympathy for Yan Keyi. However, she would accompany her to enrich her own experiences, do what she wanted to do, and go where she wanted to go.
Jiang Ning is a well-traveled and knowledgeable person. Through his words, Yan Keyi has learned about some things she had never encountered before. Besides wanting to go to the beach with Jiang Ning, she also has many other things she wants to experience with him.
Under Yan Keyi's incessant chatter, the journey to the airport seemed shorter.
I don't know if the production team leaked the news, or if Yan Keyi has really started to gain popularity, so people are actively trying to find out about her whereabouts.
When Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi arrived at the airport, they were surprised to find that some fans had come to see them off.
"Coco! Look here, look here!"
Yan Keyi was surprised, but even more delighted. She was happy that she was slowly being liked by others.
