章 47: Preparations for Home

"Why are you making this so difficult for me?" 

His precious Xue Ning lamented at him, tired face scrunched in confusion.

"Do you need to ask? Is it not obvious?" Jingwei asks incredulously, trying to look for deceit in her eyes, but finding none.

"If it was obvious, do you think I need to ask?" Xue Ning points out. "Are you being annoying on purpose?"

"No, this is just my natural charm," Jingwei can't help but quip in return. But Xue Ning doesn't seem amused this time, her arms crossed in front of her.

It inadvertently emphasised the curve of her breasts. Her breasts, that were pressed against him when he kissed her when they laid on top of the road, not knowing if they would die in the very next minute. 

Jingwei didn't have a good explanation for his actions; he just knew two things - 1. He desperately wanted Xue Ning alive and well, and 2. He didn't want to die without ever having kissed Xue Ning once in his lifetime.
