Stealing a glance at Leng Xuan, Xiao Yun noticed that his originally unsophisticated hairstyle had been mussed by the rain. His facial contours were well-defined, and his gaze pure and bright. While his skin was a tad dark, it was actually quite good. On closer look, he was indeed quite delicate and handso. Her heart stirred involuntarily, and her eyes inevitably trailed downward. Only now did she for the first ti notice that despite Leng Xuan’s lean appearance, his chest and abdominal muscles were well-developed. It was the sort of latent strength that didn’t scream ’muscle man’ at first glance. Breathing in his unique masculine scent, her heart pounded chaotically, and her face reddened like a ripe apple. After all, this was her first close contact with a boy!
"Hehe, hehe, this rain sure is coming down hard, isn’t it!"
Because the atmosphere was unbearably awkward, and Xiao Yun was still holding onto his arm, Leng Xuan tried to find a topic to break the tension that was rigid yet tinged with an ambiguous mood.
With her face flushed red, Xiao Yun said softly, "Yeah, I wonder when it will stop."
Leng Xuan replied with a casual smile, "Actually, rain can be quite romantic too. Sotis, it’s all about whether you’re willing to appreciate its beauty or not." While speaking, he glanced at the continuous drizzle filling the space between heaven and earth, feeling the cool, icy touch of the raindrops on his face, invoking a misty and lancholic beauty in the scene.
Xiao Yun gave Leng Xuan a curious look, thinking that a person who could say such a thing must have many stories to tell, wouldn’t they? Because her own background was pitiful, she was easily moved deep inside, and felt empathy for others easily as well. So, she asked in a low voice, "Leng Xuan, what did you do before?"
The sa question posed by Luo Shuixi might cause Leng Xuan to bristle, but with Xiao Yun, Leng Xuan responded with a gentle smile, saying, "? I used to be a soldier. Sotis, for a mission, it didn’t matter whether it rained or snowed, or even if there were storms; I encountered them quite often. Hehe, I rember once, I ran into a tornado and nearly got sucked in. Fortunately, I grabbed onto the branches of a big tree that took four or five people to embrace. Though the tree ended up being uprooted, since the tornado had passed and its force had diminished, the tree was lifted only about fifty ters before it fell back down, and I was lucky to survive."
"Ah!" Xiao Yun exclaid in surprise, listening to Leng Xuan describe it lightly, but she couldn’t help worrying for him, saying, "The missions you speak of, what were they? Why so dangerous?"
Leng Xuan pondered for a mont, then replied with a slight smile, "It was training, wilderness training!"
Was it really training? Of course not, but so things aren’t ant for others to know too much about.
"Really?" Xiao Yun pondered briefly before suddenly asking, "Then, were you in the special forces?"
Leng Xuan was taken aback, his eyes clearly showing a hint of surprise, as he asked, "Xiao Yun, what made you ask that?"
Xiao Yun, with an innocent look on her face, laughed and said, "Because I heard Sister Li say that her brother used to be in the special forces too, and he often had dangerous missions. Once, her brother got injured on a mission, and that’s how he broke his leg..."
"Sister Li?" Leng Xuan paused for a mont, but didn’t press further, smiling as he said, "I see."
Suddenly, a car approached from a distance. The driver was Li ngjie, and sitting beside her, Ling Xuejiu was complaining, "This damn weather, it started raining before we had been out long. It’s really annoying."
