Chapter 481: Chapter 478
She took a deep breath and decided to continue down the highway, heading toward the woods.
Thankfully, the paths through this forest were relatively easy to navigate.
As she watched the position on her phone get closer, she ventured deeper into the forest.
However, as she walked, she noticed that the forest ahead of her didn’t stretch endlessly; rather, she would soon leave it behind and emerge into a vast clearing.
And Lu Xiao’s location was right there…!
The thought made Wen Xian quicken her pace, and she grew increasingly curious—what was Lu Xiao doing here…?
With the temperature so low and not a house or person in sight, what was he doing here? Wasn’t he afraid of freezing to death?
Just as she was pondering all these questions, Wen Xian gradually left the Pine Forest behind and caught sight of the scene not too far ahead on the clearing…!
The sight of a small building standing in the clearing made her stop dead in her tracks.
She was wearing a brown coat, with a pair of black long Martin boots on her feet, and with each breath she took, her exhales turned into white frost.
The temperature around her was so low, yet at that moment, she just stood there, seemingly unable to move.
Because she felt like she was dreaming, or perhaps… seeing an illusion.
If not, why would there be a small wooden cottage appearing before her, exactly as she had imagined it in her heart and mind?
The cottage was surrounded by a fence, forming a small courtyard.
Inside was a wooden cottage with a few steps leading up to it. It didn’t look very big, but neither was it small, probably around forty square meters, square-shaped, and it even had a small loft on top.
Next to the loft, there was also a chimney.
At that time, thin wisps of smoke were rising gently, dispersing lightly into the sky above, blending seamlessly with the wind.
Wen Xian just stared at the wooden cottage, swallowing with an inexplicable discomfort in her throat, and then began walking towards it step by step.
She was astonished, unable to fathom.
Because she couldn’t understand why the fairytale-like wooden cottage she had imagined would actually appear in Kekexili—and even if it did, why would Lu Xiao be there?
A wooden cottage and him were all she desired to escape the bustling city and live in seclusion in the west.
Wen Xian took steps towards it.
Yet, as she approached, she was unaware that inside the small wooden cottage—
Lu Xiao was still tidying up the door, with his cell phone beside him, displaying the WeChat conversation between him and Wen Xian.
At the moment, a strange tremor passed through his heart, and he couldn’t help feeling an indescribable sensation.
Upon reflection, it seemed that her asking for his address earlier made him start to overthink now.
An alarm installed on the wall of the wooden cottage suddenly went off.
Hearing this, Lu Xiao’s expression changed in an instant; he grabbed a long gun from the wall without a second thought and headed to the window.
Yet, when he got to the window and aimed his gun, not knowing what he would see, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he was completely stunned.
There was someone outside, a woman.
But that unmistakably familiar figure—if it wasn’t Wen Xian, then who could it be…!?
