Chapter 49: Chapter 49: I Like Men !

Her eyes held a smile, radiant and bright, as she looked at him, half testing.
Just now, that man had said she was his girlfriend.
Lu Xiao’s hand holding the cotton swab paused slightly.
But it was just a moment before he continued, his eyes lowered, placing the iodine-soaked cotton swab on her palm.
The sting spread, she grunted quietly, her hand instinctively retracting.
Lu Xiao held her hand, his voice gravelly and emotionless, “Girlfriend or not, it’s none of your business. If you want care, you should look for those men in your phone.”
Throughout, he didn’t stop his movements.
The strong afternoon sun was fierce, baking hot, and the car was without air conditioning, the temperature high, yet Wen Xian still felt the temperature of her skin was cool.
The harsh light filtering through the windshield made him squint slightly.
Wen Xian raised a hand and pulled down the sun visor for him.
In an instant, he was cast in half-light, half-shadow, making his features appear even more resolute.
The atmosphere inside the car was delicate, indescribable.
Wen Xian just looked at him.
Lu Xiao’s eyelashes were long and thick, his slightly drooping eyelids hiding all expression in his eyes, making it impossible to see or guess what he was really thinking.
After his words, the car interior was very quiet.
So quiet that the only sounds were his movements and the beating of their hearts.
It wasn’t until Lu Xiao finished applying the medicine and began to wrap her hand with gauze that Wen Xian finally spoke, slowly saying, “I do have many suitors, but I don’t like any of them.”
At this remark, the hand wrapping the gauze stalled momentarily.
Lu Xiao didn’t even lift his eyelid, simply stating, “Seems like you have high standards.”
Wen Xian looked at him and laughed openly, “Yes, you’re right, my standards are high.”
If she couldn’t find what she was looking for in this lifetime, she’d rather stay single.
Lu Xiao didn’t speak further, his hands continuing their task.
“Aren’t you curious about what kind of man I’m looking for?” she asked, half in jest as she watched him.
He had just finished tying the knot when Lu Xiao sat up straight, tall and erect. He started the car, his gaze disinterested as he looked through the windshield, “Not interested.”
During his speech, his eyes seemed to darken gradually like the night sky at dusk, slowly settling into a deeper shade.
His large, strong hands tightened on the steering wheel.
Wen Xian also straightened her posture, focusing ahead and gently caressing the palm he had bandaged, speaking in an unhurried voice:
“The type I like has to be a true man, upright, impartial, constantly making me feel inferior, and responsible… has to bear responsibilities… possessing all the great qualities I lack…”
At this point, her tone suddenly paused, her bright, sparkling eyes turned toward him.
Word by word, she said, “…and most importantly…he should be able to resist when a wild woman throws herself at him in the middle of the night…!”
Such a man was the one she liked.
Before meeting him, she never knew what kind of man she liked.
But after meeting him, what kind of man she liked, everything, had a definition!
