Chapter 414: Chapter 411
Wen Xian was astonished. She hadn’t misunderstood, had she?
The one on both knees before her…?
Kneeling, the aura was fierce, yet it wasn’t a pose of submission but clearly one of advance.
Wen Xian didn’t know why, but her ears turned red at the thought.
It was unexpected that the serious Captain could actually say such things.
“It seems you understood,” he said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s face turned red, and she stomped her feet:
“Nonsense, I don’t know what you’re talking about. All I know is that Captain Lu is becoming saucier by the day.”
She was almost outdone by him.
She playfully punched him in the chest with her small fists, but Lu Xiao grabbed her tiny fists and pulled her into his embrace.
He lowered his head and whispered firmly into her ear:
“Wen Xian, I swear here and now, in this life, I am loyal to my country, loyal to you.”
Loyal to the country, loyal to you.
One represented the greater good, the other represented the smaller unit; both were indispensable parts of his life, more important than his own life.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s heart trembled violently.
Her breath even halted for a moment.
At that moment, his firm promise echoed in her ears, the commitment he offered her.
He placed her at such an important standing.
When she slowly looked up again, her enchanting eyes were filled with his reflection.
The next second, she suddenly pulled down her scarf, stood on her tiptoes, and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips against his.
Pressing against his lips, which still carried a trace of coolness.
The crowd moved slowly, countless people brushing past them.
Taken by surprise by her sudden action, Lu Xiao’s body stiffened slightly.
He wanted to stop her, but she held on to him tightly, disregarding everything, taking the initiative.
After failing to push her away, he simply gave up, clasped her head and waist gently, leaned down slightly, and responded deeply to her kiss.
Passersby turned to look, their eyes filled with shyness.
Covered by her long hair, hat, and scarf, Wen Xian’s face couldn’t be clearly seen; perhaps it seemed somewhat familiar to some, but the scene made it difficult to keep watching.
However, under the rising sun with the national flag fluttering proudly, amidst a sea of people, their moment touched the hearts of those around them deeply.
A photographer in the crowd captured this scene, raised his camera, found the perfect angle, aimed at the two, and clicked…!
At that moment, time stood still.
Wen Xian didn’t realize that she and Lu Xiao were photographed; after all, there were too many people. But even if they were captured, she wouldn’t regret it.
Firstly, whether or not it was recognizable as her was one issue.
Moreover, this was her man, and deep inside, she really wanted to stand proudly and publicly tell everyone that this was her man…!
As the two of them left,
there was a small incident because the crowd was packed as they were about to exit, and she was accidentally separated from him as she walked by his side.
She saw Lu Xiao immediately turn back to look for her.
But her height was not enough, and she was quickly overwhelmed; she wanted to return to his side but could no longer discern the direction and could not find his figure.
Just as she watched the unfamiliar faces pass by around her, her heart grew more anxious.
Suddenly someone accidentally bumped her shoulder, causing her, encumbered in her heavy attire, to stumble backward a few steps—
