Chapter 221: Chapter 218: Deadly
The man’s latissimus dorsi muscles were tightly drawn, as if containing formidable strength.
Broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his spine curved gracefully down to his waist, below which were his long, powerful legs clad in black jeans—literally walking pheromones.
Wen Xian’s saliva once again cascaded three thousand feet at the sight.
Lu Xiao turned around abruptly, and upon seeing her like that, he suddenly slammed the door shut and cursed without any politeness, “Pervert!”
The sound of water rushing in the bathroom could be heard.
Listening to that sound, Wen Xian felt like her heart was about to take flight.
As she stripped off her clothes moving towards the bed, she shamelessly claimed his single bed for herself, now wearing only a shirt.
“Poor little bed, you’ve really had it tough,” she said.
With that, she gave it a sympathetic pat.
In the bathroom, the cool water continuously washed over his strong, lean body.
Rushing down from his forehead, across his handsome profile, down his jaw, pausing at his collarbone, swirling around, then cascading down, flowing over every inch of his muscular physique.
About ten minutes later, he emerged with just a white towel wrapped around his lower half.
However, when he saw the scene on the bed, he was momentarily taken aback.
He stared at her figure for a long while, dried his short hair, and then walked over.
She lay there, sleeping soundly and innocently, her delicate white fingers still grasping the corner of the pillow, her face turned to the side, her breathing slow and steady, as if she had sunken deep into slumber.
Lu Xiao watched this scene, suddenly letting out an exasperated chuckle, shaking his head.
It seemed as though he had completely been defeated by this vexing woman.
The next second, he pulled over the blanket and gently covered her with it.

Her recent filming injury had just healed, and then she was involved in a dangerous criminal case; her body and mind both must have been exhausted.
The horizon was gradually tainted with the light of dawn.
By the time they had returned, it was already two or three in the morning.
Lu Xiao had barely slept, and after taking a bath, he used a warm towel to wipe her face and neck, finally holding her as he rested for a short while.
But just an hour or two later, he got up to lead his team on their morning exercise; there was also the important mission of escorting precious artifacts during the day.
By the time Wen Xian awoke from her deep sleep, it was already past noon, and she was awakened by her persistently ringing phone.
Groggily, she reached for her phone and brought it to her ear, her voice groggy, “Hello…”
The next second, having heard something on the phone, she suddenly jolted awake, her eyes widened, and she was fully alert.
