Although she grumbled in her heart, when Jane saw Jas changing into his pajamas, she still instinctively scooted over to make room for him. After Jas lay down, she imdiately scampered with a giggle into his embrace.
"When are you returning to the Capital Province?" Jane inquired.
"I’m taking an 11 o’clock flight back to the Capital Province tomorrow night," Jas said. "Rest early tonight, and when you wake up tomorrow, I’ll take you mountain climbing."
Jane was montarily stunned, then she mused with a frown, "Strange, why hasn’t Jas Chip told that filming starts tomorrow?"
"Because I told him that you’re unavailable for these two days I’m here," Jas explained. "I asked him to postpone your scenes."
Seeing that Jane was silently blinking at him, Jas said, "Jane, after much thought, I still feel more at ease keeping you within my sight. If it weren’t for not wanting to upset you, I would wish to take you back to the Capital Province with tomorrow."
Thinking of the two recent events gave Jas a lingering sense of unease.
"I really wish I could tuck you into my pocket and take you back," Jas playfully patted Jane’s head.
"But I’m too big~" Jane protested, barely shielding half of her head with her hand.
"So, after thinking it over, the best compromise is that while I’m here, you don’t leave my sight for a second, until I return to the Capital Province," Jas sighed helplessly.
"I’m a grown-up now; I can take care of myself. Besides, I’m just here to shoot a movie, what could possibly happen? And you don’t have to worry about any accidents, I’m not that unlucky to always encounter them, especially with so many people from the crew around," she reasoned.
Seeing how worried Jas was made Jane feel quite guilty.
But guilt aside, she wondered if she could opt out of that mountain...
Just the thought of mountain climbing made Jane’s legs hurt.
Why did other couples go shopping, watch movies, or have romantic dinners, while her own dates had to involve mountain climbing?
Jane let out a long sigh towards Jas, asking, "Do we have any room for negotiation about tomorrow’s plans?"
"No."
As expected, Jane sighed deeply once again.
"Let’s sleep," Jas said, fully aware of the laziness hidden in Jane’s bones.
She could co up with so many excuses just to escape morning runs; there was no telling how many she’d find for a full day of mountain climbing.
As the room dimd, Jas gently patted the back of the person in his arms.
Neither spoke further, and it didn’t take long for Jane to fall asleep in Jas’s arms.
Although it was Jas who had wanted to sleep early, he held Jane for a long ti, taking advantage of the dimly lit room to watch her sleeping face before finally closing his eyes to summon sleep.
It was a tranquil night; her breathing was soft, and she lay in his arms without any guard, half her face buried in the quilt, sleeping sweetly.
Half a year ago, Jas could never have imagined that one day, he would be so infatuated with the sight of Jane sleeping.
The person who used to crouch in one corner of the bed, with a posture that signaled no sense of security, now could sleep peacefully in his arms. Jas could sense the change in her mindset.
She smiled more than before, and her smiles, along with her life, had beco more genuine.
And it was precisely this vivacious woman who had firmly established herself in the depths of his heart.
Ironically, the man who had promised to take Jane mountain climbing couldn’t follow through with his plans to take her for exercise.
