Chapter 484: Chapter 481: Captain Lu’s Silent Love (3)
One side was a spacious and clean bathroom, and inside there was a leather sofa, facing a large built-in television that didn’t take up any space.
At the very back, there was a raised platform that served as a long bar, with two chairs placed there, and behind it was a small kitchen.
Wen Xian’s eyes were immediately drawn to this little kitchen.
Because she had just noticed that the small kitchen was hidden behind Venetian blinds.
Behind the blinds was a large window, through which sunshine could pour in, offering a view of the beautiful snowy landscape outside.
At the very edge of the platform, there was a small staircase.
Climbing up the ladder led to the attic.
The attic was the place with the best lighting; although it was called an attic, putting a tatami mat there was more than enough for two people to sleep on.
The space was utilized to its utmost, with every corner carefully designed with great attention to detail.
Wen Xian fell completely in love with this place.
Lu Xiao watched as she intently examined every nook and cranny, gently stroking her cheek, and asked in a gentle voice, “How do you like it, do you like it?”
Wen Xian turned her gaze back to him in disbelief and looked at him,
“Honey, I do like it, no, I should say, I like it too much, it is simply the little house of my dreams. But how did it come to be… Is this yours…?”
How was it that she had never known about this place before?
Upon hearing her words, a hint of amusement flickered in Lu Xiao’s eyes: “Madam Lu, now it’s yours.”
Wen Xian’s eyes went wide: “Really!? Is this really mine now? Where did you buy this house from?”
However, the next second, she heard Lu Xiao seriously saying to her, “I didn’t buy this, I built it with my own hands.”
She was completely stunned.
Lu Xiao was being pressed down by her, lying on the sofa, he rested one arm behind his head and with his other hand, he gently caressed her cheek, looking at her with a soft voice, unhurriedly saying:
“Wen Xian, this is my gift to you. I spent several months, from designing the blueprints to choosing the materials, then starting to work on it, building it for you bit by bit.”
There’s no denying that hearing these words had a tremendous impact on her.
When she spoke again, her words began to stutter,
“How, how could this be, when did you have the time…!?”
Wasn’t Lu Xiao very busy!?
But then, the words that Lu Xiao said deeply touched her heart.
Lu Xiao spoke in a calm voice, “For the past two months, after finishing my daily tasks, I would come here to work on building you this log cabin.”
Wen Xian’s eyes inexplicably started to feel hot as she gazed unwaveringly at him,
“But this place is not very close to your patrol area, wouldn’t it have been very tiring for you to come over here every day to work on this?”
She seemed to remember now, during the time before she went to Beijing for filming, she was very busy, but so was Lu Xiao.
Sometimes they would only be able to say good morning and good night to each other.
Yet now, after she asked her question, she heard Lu Xiao casually say, “I didn’t go back at night; I slept in a tent over here.”
He had used all the time outside of work to quickly finish building this little log cabin.
He spoke as if it was no big deal, as if it wasn’t worth mentioning.
But upon hearing his words, Wen Xian felt an uncontrollable sourness at the tip of her nose.
