“Maybe I was moved when I saw so many devout pilgrims kowtowing to the mountain.” Nian Xi’s lips twitched.

Jiang Yuning realized. “Yeah, I’m quite moved. Don’t tell me you’re going to kowtow around the mountain too?”

Nian Xi, “…”

Damn you.

“By the way, why do you look so pale and have dark circles under your eyes? Until what time did you watch the stars last night?” Nian Xi couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Yuning perked up when he heard that. “I observed it until two o’clock in the morning last night. I can see the stars much clearer here than in other places and found that I have a new understanding of the stars. I have to write a long thesis when I go back.”

Nian Xi silently thought how could he get such a deep understanding just by looking at the stars? She didn’t know anything about that anyway, so she could only agree. “Mm-hmm, then it’s not a wasted trip.”

“Xixi, can we stay on the mountain for one more night?” Jiang Yuning suddenly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “We’ll sleep in the tent tonight.”

“… Okay,” Nian Xi clenched onto her teeth and agreed.

She endured it for the sake of mankind’s astronomical progress.

The two of them stayed on top of Kailash for three days. When they went down the mountain, Nian Xi’s legs were shaking, and Jiang Yuning was in an even worse condition. Because he didn’t get enough rest from stargazing at night, he started to have a fever on the way back to Lhasa.

Nian Xi drove to Lhasa and admitted him to the hospital for two days. Jiang Yuning, who had recovered from the fever, felt very guilty and grabbed Nian Xi’s hand to apologize, “Xixi, I’m sorry. It was supposed to be a honeymoon. It’s all my fault that we are in such a state. Next time, I’ll go with the team if I want to observe the stars.”

Nian Xi shook her head with a bitter smile. “How can I be at ease with you like this? I am with you this time. You’ve been out on the plateau at night to watch the stars at a few degrees below zero. What if I’m not around?”

Jiang Yuning lowered his eyelashes in silence. “Sometimes I can’t help it. The environment in some stargazing places is indeed extreme. I’ll reduce my trips to such places in the future.”

“Remember what you said. We’ll buy some gifts for our family today, and go back tomorrow,” Nian Xi touched his cheek after saying that.

..

The next day, the plane landed at Xia City Airport after four hours of flight.

They had too much luggage, so they had no choice. Nian Junting was busy working in his company. In the end, Luo Sang took Little Apple along and came to pick them up with her car.

She didn’t want to bring Little Apple along, but Nian Xi said that she would bring Little Apple a lot of beef jerky. So, Little Apple insisted on coming along to eat the beef jerky.

Both of them waited at the airport for half an hour. When they finally saw Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning pushing a few suitcases out of the airport. The mother and son were both dumbfounded.

About a week ago, they saw Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning’s WeChat moments. Nian Xi was still standing by the lake in a colorful cotton shawl. She looked very charming and beautiful. Of course, the scenery was also beautiful.

After asking where they were, Nian Xi said that they were on the way to Kailash.

At that time, Luo Sang was very envious of them. She secretly thought that she would bring Nian Junting to Kailash next time, and Nian Junting agreed to that.

However, it had only been a short while. How did both of them become like this? Their skin was dry and dark, and their skin blushed. Nian Xi’s dry hair looked like straws, and Jiang Yuning, who used to look like he was only in his early twenties, looked even older than Nian Junting.

Luo Sang looked at them with a complicated gaze. Little Apple asked innocently, “Aunty, uncle, did you go to Africa without letting me know? Is there yak meat in Africa?”
