Chapter 106: Chapter 103: Will You Come to Find Me?
A gentle breeze stirred as the SUV sped along the highway.
Heading to the airport.
“Okay, okay, we’ll really get there this time, for real, ah…? What happened yesterday? Last night, last night…”
Inside the car, Wen Xian was on a phone call, flustered by the questions being fired at her, hemming and hawing. She glanced at the man driving next to her and quickly looked away.
After a while, she turned away to look at the scenery outside the car window: “Don’t ask so much now, Ling Jie, I’ll talk to you when I get back.”
Wen Xian hastily ended the call.
The car fell silent, with only the sound of the wind.
Wen Xian probably wished she could curl up into herself. She wore a deep coffee-colored turtleneck sweater with a black jacket on top.
Gorgeous and stylish, yet at that moment, half her face was concealed beneath her collar, only her delicate little nose and fluttering eyelashes showing, her ear tips flushed red.
Last night she really thought she was going to die.
Wen Xian somewhat regretted provoking him.
The most ferocious beast in the world was no match, consuming her bit by bit until there wasn’t even a scrap left. She slept till noon today, waking up to a body aching as if ruthlessly crushed.
She had slept so long, and he hadn’t woken her.
When she awoke again, the car was fixed. She didn’t know whether it was because of the rescue service or some other reason, and she didn’t ask.
Because, it all seemed unimportant now, secrets carried on the wind, meant to be felt and experienced rather than explained.
After all, how did the car break down last night?
The SUV stopped when they passed a service area.
Wen Xian got out to use the restroom, but as she stepped out, she moved her legs and bit her lip tightly.
The SUV was tall, and usually, she got in and out with ease, but now—
Suddenly, the car door on the man’s side was flung open.
In an instant, he appeared before her, having walked around the front of the car.
Her face instantly became somewhat embarrassed, but the man simply picked her up effortlessly from the car, closed the door, and without a word, carried her to the restroom.
Wen Xian’s face flushed red and she quickly said, “I, I can walk on my own.”
Wen Xian’s breath paused, and she awkwardly struggled a bit before getting down from his arms. This man, he knew too!
The more Wen Xian thought about it, the more she felt like she had let him off easy.
When Wen Xian came out, the man was already waiting at the door with a bag in his hand, containing some freshly bought food.
He was waiting for her.
For a moment, Wen Xian felt somewhat dazed.
As if, he was her boyfriend, and they were just an ordinary couple, lovers.
The two walked back, Lu Xiao accompanying her at a very slow pace.
The scenery at this service area was exceptionally beautiful, with a sea of flowers, Gesang Flowers blooming all around, swaying gently in the breeze.
Wen Xian lowered her eyes, then suddenly spoke up:
“Lu Xiao, will you come for me?”
His eyes were deep and inscrutable, and she couldn’t see through them.
He didn’t respond, and Wen Xian subtly tugged the corner of her mouth in what appeared to be self-mockery, whispering, “I suppose not…”
