novelDon't You Think It's Too Late to Say That

Nian Xi was very angry. She wanted to lock the door and let him stay outside in the cold wind for the whole night. However, it was her first day out after all. It would be bad if he caught a cold. Especially since this was the highland, they might have to go back home.
So, she let it go.
However, she was angry and couldn't sleep. She put on her coat and went to the roof to look for him.
On the empty roof, Jiang Yuning sat alone on a small stool with a tripod. No one knew what he was doing. He looked at the night sky alone for a while, then took a notebook to write something down.
He did not notice her when she walked over. Nian Xi saw that his notebook was full of data. It was so dense that she could not understand it anyway.
He was too serious that he didn't notice it when she walked in front of him until Nian Xi leaned over to look through his binoculars."What exactly are you looking at?"
"Xixi, why are you here?" Jiang Yuning quickly stood up and held her shoulder."Do you want to see? Come, I can teach you. Let's look at the Moon first."
He quickly adjusted the binoculars. It wasn't that Nian Xi hadn't played with a telescope when she was young, but she had never seen one that could see so clearly. The Moon wasn't hazy, and its color varied from dark to light. She was curious at first but soon lost interest.
Jiang Yuning, on the other hand, said with interest, "It's not that pleasing to watch from here. It's not spacious enough. We'll see it clearly when we get to Ngari."
"Yes, but it's already one o'clock. We still have to go to Potala Palace tomorrow. Should we go back to sleep?" Nian Xi sighed in her heart. She was angry at first, but she could not stand in the way of his dreams since he was focused on science.
"It's already so late." Jiang Yuning was startled, then he touched his head apologetically."I'm sorry, Xixi. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. You shouldn't have waited for me. You should sleep first next time."
"I want to sleep too, but you'll still wake me up when you come in at night without a room card, " Nian Xi said unhappily."And what's your main purpose of the trip this time?"
"To observe the stars, " Jiang Yuning said without thinking. He had been undercover for the past three years and had not observed the stars seriously for a long time.
Nian Xi, "..."
He had the guts to say it.
Sensing that Nian Xi's gaze was getting more and more strange, Jiang Yuning was stunned for a few seconds and quickly reacted. He stuttered, "And... and to accompany you..."
Nian Xi sneered."Don't you think it's too late to say that?"
Jiang Yuning lowered his head dejectedly, "I feel that I haven't been to Tibet for a long time. It's a pity that I don't observe the stars in a place like this, but I'm mainly here to accompany you. I'll observe the stars at night and accompany you during the day. None will be neglected."
Nian Xi sighed softly, feeling depressed. She thought to herself, what did he not neglect? He was neglecting her nightdress, alright? Did he know how heavy a nightdress was when she brought it from Xia City, "You can't stay up until midnight. Besides, it's very cold in Tibet, and there's still a long time to go. If you don't rest well, you'll catch a cold easily. At that time, you won't be able to hold on even if you go to Ngari, let alone go to Kailash."
Jiang Yuning was stunned by her words and finally nodded."Xixi, what you said makes sense. I've forgotten about this. I'm not going to watch anymore. Let's go back."
Both of them then returned to their room. Jiang Yuning went to take a shower while Nian Xi lay on the bed. She was not worried about anything and fell asleep in a short while.
The next day, she was woken up by a warm breath.
She opened her eyes, and the blanket was pulled down to her waist. Jiang Yuning stared at her as if he was looking at a delicious meal."Xixi, I didn't wake you up on purpose. It was an accident."
