Chapter 102: Chapter 99: He, Very Handso and Capable
As soon as these words were uttered, the subtly changing, subtly stirring expression on Wen Xian’s face instantly froze.
Afterward, she lowered her gaze to look at the tips of her shoes, her back turned, her hands nervously twisting together as she murmured softly and seriously, “I understand, I won’t do anything to you.”
Lu Xiao: “…?”
He turned his head, giving her a deep look, then with a tightened jaw and pursed lips, he took his things and turned to leave.
The two of them were actually still within the vicinity of Fairy Lake; their car hadn’t driven out very far, and now, the experienced Lu Xiao found a flat and spacious spot to start setting up their tent.
For them, these items were essential regular gear for outdoor activities.
Not to ntion, back when he was a special forces soldier, whether for training or combat, he would be outdoors.
Wen Xian was entirely clueless about these things, simply watching him handle each step with efficient movents. Quickly, a military green tent was erected on the golden grasslands.
The material was excellent, very sturdy.
He was handso and capable.
Standing to one side, Wen Xian found her gaze inexplicably unable to leave his figure.
The evening was exquisitely beautiful.
The far horizon was a mix of red and purple, blending together and spreading out broadly, casting a dark carpet on the ground, complenting the distant snow-capped mountains, complenting the man’s cool, handso profile…
She found herself completely intoxicated by the gentle light of the evening.
After he had finished setting up, she took the initiative to co forward and help, crawling into the tent first like a dostic little woman and helping to lay out the moisture-proof pads.
Lu Xiao’s eyes lingered on that graceful silhouette, crouching inside laying out pads and blankets, watching her careful fingers smoothing out every wrinkle.
For him, who had always dealt with tents by himself, his heart trembled slightly.
“Wen Xian?”
He suddenly called out her na.
“Hmm?”
Wen Xian instinctively turned her head, sitting up and looking over with a smile in her eyes, her teeth gently biting her lip in a sweet, shy expression.
That smile hit him like a bullet, striking right at his heart.
Lu Xiao: “…”
When he looked down again, his breathing seed to beco uneven.
Did she know, her look… she really resembled… his woman.
Everything was ready, and after a hectic half a day, night had completely fallen.
The fire crackled, the night grew cooler, but the flickering flas emitted a scorching warmth in the quiet night, everything just right.
In front of the tent, water boiled over the campfire, Wen Xian curled up inside the military tent, eating air-dried beef and sipping on hot, butter tea that lted at her fingertips.
Her gaze occasionally flickered toward the off-road vehicle.
She didn’t know what was up with Lu Xiao… perhaps he truly feared she would do sothing to him. After setting up the tent, he hadn’t co over, eating his own al in the vehicle, seemingly very unwilling to be alone with her in the tent.
Wen Xian: “…”
Hiding a hint of disappointnt in her heart, after finishing her al and turning back to look inside the tent, the corners of her lips still curved slightly.
So things were indeed peculiar; she had thought she would spend the night on a plane, yet unexpectedly…
Tonight, she was going to sleep in the sa tent with him.
On this grassland, in Kekexili, in Qinghai, beneath the vastness of… the Milky Way.
It was nearly eight or nine in the evening, and Wen Xian was starting to feel a hint of sleepiness when she suddenly heard the rustling of footsteps outside, getting closer and closer—
Finally, they stopped outside the tent.
