Chapter 1531: As If Doomsday Was Coming

Jiang Yuning looked at the clock on top of her bed, and it showed 7:30 a.m.

He had a plane to catch at 1:00 p.m, and he had to leave by 10:00 a.m latest. This meant that they only had several more hours left.

When would they be able to meet again next time? Would they even be able to meet after this?

Just then, his heart began to ache terribly, and he inevitably tightened his grip on Nian Xi’s hand.

Similarly, Nian Xi was also in a deep, somber mood. She desperately wished that this very moment could drag on longer.

“Let’s do it again...” she murmured. “It already happened last night anyway. It doesn’t make much of a difference whether it happens once, twice, or thrice,” she said.

Jiang Yuning’s eyes darkened. “But... but I’m scared that it’ll be painful for you and that you won’t be able to take it,” he replied dryly. “You even said that you were exhausted just now...”

“I think... you can be gentler,” Nian Xi suggested as she hooked her arms around his neck and watched him with glistening eyes, which looked strangely alluring.

Jiang Yuning’s mind buzzed. Finally, he could no longer hold himself back, and he lowered his head to seal her lips with a deep kiss.

Nian Xi hugged him back with all her might.

Both of them seemed eager to do it again, probably because they were about to part their ways soon.

Although Jiang Yuning could not remember the specific details from the night before, such a thing was always easier during one’s second attempt. His male instincts quickly told him what to do.

He only had a hazy recollection of how it felt last night. Now, however, he could feel everything clearly.

Turbulent emotions poured out of his heart ceaselessly, and it was as if every single cell in his blood was boiling. It transformed him into another person — a wild, passionate, and impatient man.

“Xixi... Xixi...” Although he repeated her name over and over again, it never seemed to suffice.

They hugged and explored each other’s bodies as if doomsday was coming. They only stopped when they were completely exhausted, feeling as if they truly belonged to each other.

...

The phone on the floor had rung for quite a few times.

Having lost count of the number of times that it rang, Jiang Yuning finally picked up the phone to answer the call as his legs trembled.

“Sir, you finally answered your phone. Do you know what time it is now?” Xu Gang’s voice could be heard from the phone. “It’s 9:40 a.m. I would’ve thought that you had cold feet in the last minute if you continued not to pick up the phone.”

“I didn’t...” Jiang Yuning murmured. His heart sank when he realized how late it already was. Indeed, time flew quickly. To him, it felt as if he had only spent a short amount of time with her.

“Come down quickly then. I’m waiting at the foot of Miss Nian’s apartment. Your luggage’s already packed in the trunk,” Xu Gang urged.

“...Okay,” Jiang Yuning replied.

Jiang Yuning seemed distracted as he placed his phone down. When he turned around, he noticed that Nian Xi had already slipped her clothes back on silently without him realizing. “Xixi, you... should rest,” he said.

He knew how rough he had been just now. Although he had said that he would only do it once, he ended up doing it over and over again.

As it was her first time last night, it would be normal if she could not take it.

As a result, he felt very guilty.

“I’ll send you to the airport,” Nian Xi said as she watched him calmly.

“It’s alright. You must be exhausted,” Jiang Yuning replied. Even though he wanted to spend more time with Nian Xi badly, his heart ached for her when he saw how tired she was.

“Oh, please! I’m a cop. I’ve experienced even more tiring things than this. Besides, even though I’m exhausted right now, I can rest well for the next few years since you won’t be able to come back anyway,” Nian Xi explained. While this was what she said, her legs began to tremble from the terrible ache as she made her way towards the bathroom. However, she forced herself to hold it in. She could not slap herself on the face by proving herself wrong right after she spoke to Jian Yuning.

Although Jiang Yuning usually appeared to be gentle and refined, he looked quite strong just now.

Perhaps he simply did not put his strength to good use in the past.

Jiang Yuning watched her silhouette longingly.

In the past, he did not cherish mornings like these, and now, he did not know when he would be able to see such a scene again in the future.

He could not help but hurry over to Nian Xi to give her a strong hug from the back.

After burying his face into the nape of her neck, he whispered, “Xixi, I love you.”
