Chapter 1457: Capítulo 1457: Chapter 1458: Sleep

She washed quickly, and when she came out, she didn’t see Bo Yanching in the room. On the table by the window, there was a vase that had been moved, with a bunch of crabapple flowers inside and a simple bracelet made from clivia.

Nan Jiaojiao looked outside. She didn’t need to search; Bo Yanching was standing under the magnolia tree by the window, holding a cigarette.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he extinguished the cigarette before turning around. He flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can and used his other hand, which wasn’t stained with the smell of smoke, to hold hers.

“Did you finish so quickly?”

“I just rinsed twice; I only washed my face this morning.”

Bo Yanching pulled the towel from around her neck and placed it on her head, gently wiping the water off the ends of her hair.

“There’s no rush. You can take your time,” Bo Yanching noticed her gaze shift towards the trash can and explained, “I just smoked one to relax; my craving acted up.”

Nan Jiaojiao knew it wasn’t as he said. He used to have a heavy smoking habit, but ever since she also started smoking, he smoked much less, gradually reducing the amount, and hasn’t had a craving since.

They hung up the video call last night, and he probably didn’t rest much before flying over.

He was tired.

“Let’s not go out; let’s nap first.”

Nan Jiaojiao pulled him back to the room, closed the door, and led him to the edge of the bed.

When she tried to push him into the bed, he didn’t budge. Bo Yanching’s calf was against the bed, his body leaning back but not lying down, and he lightly pinched her waist as he held her.

Nan Jiaojiao frowned for a second.

He glanced outside, “We’re at your family home. We should be mindful of how it looks to others.”

Nan Jiaojiao frowned even deeper, somewhat disgruntled with his fussiness, “What’s wrong with that? Everyone knows the relationship we have!”

With a bit of force, she pushed Bo Yanching into the bed, then lay on top of him, not wanting to get up. She reached to the side for the quilt but couldn’t move it, and called to him, “The quilt.”

Bo Yanching pulled the quilt over her, feeling embarrassed by his own reserved words but honest actions.

He chuckled in a deep, hoarse voice, “Don’t mess around. It’s already the afternoon when we wake up; you won’t have time to show me around.”

“If there’s no time, then we won’t go out. It’s not like you’re only coming once,” Nan Jiaojiao tugged at his clothes, burrowing her head into his chest and nuzzling several times, “Just nap with me; I woke up so early. I’m very tired.”

Bo Yanching patted her, “Really, it’s not possible. Be good.”

Nan Jiaojiao found it hard to resist when he cajoled her like this. Although she was still unwilling, she got off him, not bothering to hide her small pout.

Bo Yanching regretted immediately. As she was about to get off the bed, he pulled her back into an embrace, “It’s not that you can’t sleep, just for a while.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her head to stare at him, blinking. With disdain, she squinted, “You’re such a closet romantic!”

“Who are you talking about?”

Bo Yanching tapped her forehead, “Sleeping or not?”

“Sleep!”

She was indeed a bit tired, wanting to stay awake and watch him sleep first. But Bo Yanching was too good at soothing. He kept lightly patting her back, and she fell asleep first.

He woke her up.

It was lunchtime when they awoke. Holding hands, they went to have a meal with grandpa. On the way, she played with Bo Yanching’s phone and found out he set an alarm, waking up half an hour before her and only waking her up shortly before lunch.

After lunch, they said goodbye to grandpa. At that time, grandpa’s gaze at the two of them made Nan Jiaojiao feel embarrassed.

If it weren’t inconvenient to leave, she would have buried her face in Bo Yanching’s chest.

Uncle Qiu asked if they wanted to send a car, since Bo Yanching hadn’t driven over.
