The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1470
Chapter 1470: Asleep For A Long Time In One Posture
Li Jinnan was at a loss of what to do with her. Without many other options, he retrieved the keycard to his room and said, “Go to my room and get some rest. I’ll head back to our previous location to look for it. My passport is with me.”
“What?” Ye Youyou found the arrangement a little inappropriate. She hesitated with unease. “I don’t think that’s a good idea…”
“It’s fine. You’re exhausted. Have an early rest. Just leave the rest to me.” Li Jinnan shoved the keycard into Ye Youyou’s hand, pivoted on his heel, and walked off.
Ye Youyou was still in a daze as she held the keycard in her hand and watched him walk off. It was a long while before she finally turned and headed to look for the room the keycard belonged to.
–
Li Jinnan retraced his steps. He recalled from memory that the wristlet was white, barely bigger than a cell phone, and had a long strap. Even after he’d searched all over, the bag was still nowhere to be found.
It couldn’t have fallen into the volcanic area, could it?
Li Jinnan knew the severity of the situation. He made some phone calls to get someone to help look for it. He was finding it hard to keep awake.
Since a few days ago, he had been running around the Capital busily. He hadn’t slept since the day before. He had spent the day going through documents in the plane, accompanying a certain individual to the volcanoes, and looking for a bag.
His head began to hurt. Li Jinnan was helpless. He had no choice but to head back to the hotel and use his passport to check in to another room. However, he was courteously informed by the receptionist at the front desk that each passport was only valid for one room.
Li Jinnan headed out again only to realize that all the other hotels were either too far away or already fully-booked. Furthermore, other than his lone ID, he had nothing else with him.
After hanging around outside for a while, he had no choice but to return to the original hotel. He reported to the receptionist at the front desk that his keycard was missing. After notifying her of the room number, he paid for an extra keycard.
He returned to the room that Ye Youyou was in. As he was unlocking the door, his mind kept thinking of how he was going to explain his actions to Ye Youyou. His initial intentions had not been to stay with her in the same room at all. All he had wanted was for her to be able to get a good rest.
However, after Li Jinnan opened the door, he choked on all his words. Ye Youyou was already in a deep sleep.
She had taken off her shoes and was curled up on the quilt as she inhaled and exhaled steadily. Her expression looked extremely peaceful.
Perhaps she was too tired, but she didn’t stir when Li Jinnan entered. All of his explanations died in his throat.
When he saw her posture, an intriguing emotion overcame him. It felt strange and unfamiliar. Li Jinnan couldn’t pinpoint exactly what he was feeling, but it began to spread out from the bottom of his heart. It greatly affected his mood.
He quietly walked over. Seeing how she looked, the corners of his lips lifted imperceptibly. Li Jinnan gently moved her a little. He turned the quilt up and covered her with it.
Ye Youyou didn’t stir. Her breathing deepened. It was clear she was fast asleep.
As quietly as possible, Li Jinnan removed his shoes. He didn’t shower for fear of waking her. He switched off the lights, laid on the couch, and closed his eyes.
That night, the atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful. Just like the climate in Hawaii, it was very comforting.
When Ye Youyou awoke, the sky was already bright. Because she had slept in the same position for too long, her body ached a little.
She yawned comfortably, but suddenly noticed a figure on her couch.
