The two entered the room one after the other, carrying their luggage.
It was a simple small house, with only a wooden bed and a small table inside.
After putting their luggage inside, there wasn’t even a gap left, let alone space for sleeping on the floor.
Jiang Tong tilted her head and stood diagonally, looking utterly resigned.
She was already thinking about how to break Shen Xiu into eight pieces later.
Originally, she thought there might be space for sleeping on the floor.
But now, it seems...
"You can sleep on the bed."
While she was deep in thought, Bao Nan had already put the bedding on.
"If I sleep on the bed, where will you sleep?" Jiang Tong blurted out immediately.
This was indeed a problem.
He couldn’t sleep outside, right? With the wind and rain, one big downpour and Bao Nan might be gone.
Upon hearing her words, Bao Nan remained silent.
Jiang Tong struggled with her thoughts and finally took a deep breath, "Why don’t... we sleep on the bed together? We can use a blanket to divide the space..."
After all, they were only doing this because of work.
They hadn’t done anything that crossed the line...
It should be okay, right?
Upon hearing this, Bao Nan’s eyes glimmered, his tone nonchalant: "Sure, as long as you’re comfortable."
In reality, he was overjoyed inside.
Finally, he could sleep on the same bed as Tongtong...
At this moment, he was incredibly grateful to Shen Xiu and Chen Qianye, wondering how they could be so considerate.
Excellent, he remembered them.
Once back in Beijing, he would contact Xu Rongguang to privately give them an extra bonus.
...
As night deepened, everyone, having sat in the car all day, was exhausted and collapsed onto the beds.
Bao Nan leaned against the headboard, still handling some documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
July was the hottest time, yet the mountain valley was surprisingly cool.
The fan in the small house spun loudly, making it feel very cold.
Jiang Tong had just returned from the village bathhouse, her hair still wet.
She walked into the house and sat on the other side of the bed, drying her hair.
Initially, she planned to dry her hair while playing on her phone, but due to the remote location, the network wasn’t set up yet.
Therefore, the phone had signal on and off.
With nothing to play on her phone, Jiang Tong placed it aside out of boredom and turned to chat with Bao Nan.
"Hey, I’m quite curious, our Inspectorate came to research for legal awareness, why did your Ministry of Foreign Affairs come?"
Of course, it’s because of... you.
Bao Nan’s lips moved slightly, closed the document, and placed it to the side, seriously answering her question.
"As a diplomat, how can one speak randomly without understanding the country’s situations? Personally seeing things is always more real than hearing from others."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Tong came to an enlightening realization and nodded.
"Oh, I see."
With her words, they both fell into silence again.
Bao Nan frowned slightly and pulled the blanket over his lower body, "It’s not early, I’ll sleep first. You should too, good night."
After speaking, he lay down on the bed and already closed his eyes.
Watching his seemingly asleep demeanor, Jiang Tong’s mouth twitched slightly. After drying her hair sufficiently, she lay down to sleep as well.
But she seemed to have overestimated her sleep position.
Close to midnight, Jiang Tong kicked aside the blanket between them and snuggled into Bao Nan’s embrace, seeking warmth.
Suddenly having a warm presence in his arms, Bao Nan, having not yet fallen asleep,
