Chapter 480: 477
He saw Wen Xian’s ssage directly:
[What, you still know how to call ? Aren’t you afraid to find ?]
Lu Xiao: “…”
He had to say, even though the call didn’t go through, seeing the ssage she sent left him feeling sowhat at ease, yet helpless at the sa ti.
Because he could tell right away, that would be sothing she’d say.
She was okay.
Lu Xiao typed and deleted, hesitating several tis at the keyboard before giving up, feeling even guiltier, unable to face her.
Right then, another ssage from her ca:
[Where are you now? Send your location.]
Seeing the ssage, Lu Xiao hesitated but then replied, [Why do you ask?]
It wasn’t for any other reason; he just feared she might co looking for him.
Although he regretted not having her follow him, hiding her away here, letting her face crisis alone in Shanghai, he was also worried if she ca looking for him all by herself.
Wen Xian knew he would definitely ask this, so she replied directly:
[Hmph, just to check where you are. You haven’t contacted these past few days, could it really be that you have another woman?]
With that remark, Lu Xiao, provoked by her, let out a resigned sigh and sent her his location, adding a reply:
[What woman? At my side, there’s only a pile of air. If I’m lucky, maybe a few dozen ters away, I might encounter a wild boar or pheasant.]
Wen Xian didn’t know how to react to what he said.
What did that an…?
Could it be that she’s not in the jurisdiction?
Curious, Wen Xian opened his location.
To her surprise, she found that he was only a few kiloters away from her, and his location—it wasn’t the jurisdiction, but—in the woods?
Wen Xian furrowed her brows.
What was the situation, and where exactly was he…?
She zood in to inspect the map more closely and saw a lake and mountains nearby.
Wen Xian grew even more curious.
To her, Lu Xiao had just beco even more mysterious.
Could it be that he was on a mission?
After considering for a mont, Wen Xian decided to inquire tentatively:
[Tonight is New Year’s Eve, how will you celebrate? Aren’t you with everyone in the jurisdiction?]
There was silence on Lu Xiao’s end before he replied:
[Yes, I will be. Don’t worry, I’ll be with everyone. I’m out now and will return in the evening.]
Wen Xian: “…”
She raised her eyebrows slightly and unconsciously looked out the car window.
The wind outside the car window was howling with the remnant snow, and the trees in the distance were swaying gently.
Now, he was just a few kiloters away from her.
It seed she’d et him sooner than she had imagined.
Wen Xian didn’t say much else, but when Lu Xiao ntioned wanting to call her, she said she was cooking and didn’t have ti, saying they could talk later.
She brushed him off with an arbitrary excuse.
Regardless, she was here now, so she might as well sneak a peek; at worst, if it’s inconvenient for him, she could just leave.
The car stopped on the highway near where he had sent his location.
She paid the driver and got out of the car.
Fortunately, there was a bus station not far from here, otherwise she wouldn’t have gotten out here so willingly—after all—
Wen Xian looked at the coniferous forest stretching out before her, feeling a bit dazed.
She felt as if within a hundred miles, there were no signs of life, just forests. Was the location Lu Xiao sent her real?
But as she looked, she saw she was indeed getting closer and closer to his position—
