Jiang Yuning always woke up on time.
At 7:00 a.m., he opened his eyes to see a girl curled on his chest. He lowered his head, saw her fluffy hair, and half of her exposed shoulder.
His brain froze for a second, then he sprung up from the bed.
Nian Xi who hadn’t yet woke up, slid off his body and moaned discontentedly. She then raised her head, glared at him and complained saying, “What are you doing?”
“I… I…” Jiang Yuning didn’t know what to say or do because he found himself without any clothes on. “Why-why am I naked? Did you take off my clothes?”
Nian Xi rolled her eyes and said, “Did that bottle of wine make you blackout? Did you forget that you got drunk and went crazy last night? You tore off my clothes and took off your own too.”
Jiang Yuning was stunned to hear that. After spending quite a while trying to calm down, he finally recalled some pieces from last night. He blushed scarlet and buried his head in his arm with disbelief. He could not believe he did something like that. Uncle Han was such a liar.
The beer did give him courage. It gave him the courage to have reckless sex.
“We… we didn’t do that, did we?” he stuttered.
Nian Xi’s cheeks instantly started burning. “No! It’s all your fault. Yours is too large.”
Jiang Yuning felt so shy that he wished there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into. “It wasn’t up to me. I can’t control that. Xi, it was my fault last night. I will never drink alcohol again.”
Nian Xi snorted and wrapped herself up with the quilt.
Jiang Yuning spent a short while looking at her affectionately, moved toward her, then bent over and gave her a shallow kiss on the cheek. “Xi, thank you. I feel so satisfied. Your hands must be tired…”
“Shut up.” Nian Xi hurriedly covered his mouth.
Jiang Yuning tittered shyly, then reached out, holding her like a little boy.
The two of them held each other, staying quiet for a while. Abruptly, Nian Xi recalled her plan from last night. She almost forgot about it.
She hurriedly got up, banged the headboard against the wall as hard as she could, then pinched her nose and yelled softly, “Ning ning, oh, oh, you’re so good… Ning… I can’t take it anymore… Ahhh…”
Jiang Yuning gawked at her in shock. When he realized what she was doing, he hurriedly pulled her down and whispered to her, “Xi, are you crazy? He Xin is next-door! She’ll hear you!”
Maybe he was overthinking, but Nian Xi sounded like such a wild girl.
“I want her to hear it. Be quiet! We slept together last night. Now you have to listen to your girlfriend,” Nian Xi said warning him.
Jiang Yuning shut his mouth and helplessly watched Nian Xi make all sorts of sounds that made his cheeks burn and heart thump.
At last, he couldn’t bear listening to her and hid in the bathroom.
About 8:00 a.m., the two of them walked out of the room. Nian Xi had her head held high and chest puffed out, while Jiang Yuning followed behind her like a shy, newly married girl.
In the living room, were two large suitcases. He Xin was sitting at the dining table with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, looking pretty sallow. Uncle Han had made breakfast.
As Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning came out of the bedroom, Uncle Han’s eyes glowed. He Xin gripped her chopsticks; the tips of her fingers paled.
“Mr. Jiang, Miss Nian, you two are already up,” said Uncle Han smilingly. “I thought you’d sleep late.”
Detecting the hidden meaning in Uncle Han’s words, Jiang Yuning glared at him.
