Despite knowing he was doing it on purpose, despite having been praised and admired by countless people, it seemed to be the first time she had heard Lu Xiao call her beautiful.
It still made her blush embarrassingly.
But she still deliberately glared at him and said with a laugh, "So, you’re that superficial."
Lu Xiao didn’t argue but simply pulled her into his embrace, his clear, elongated eyes revealing an indescribable depth:
"Forgive me for my lack of eloquence, and I can’t articulate exactly what I like about you. All I know is that I love you... I can’t hide it."
With those words, Wen Xian’s heart was instantly struck.
The crowd also exploded into screams and shouts, having the fortune of hearing the cold, merciless Captain talk about love, which was truly like winning a lottery!
She hugged Lu Xiao tightly, leaning closely on his shoulder.
Lu Xiao held her, gentleness in his eyes.
He really couldn’t speak sweet nothings, but simply wanted to give her a sense of security, admitting in front of his brothers and teammates how much he loved her.
Indeed, their question had truly reached him.
Because he was not a man easily moved, to tell the truth, he had seen many women of all descriptions from childhood to adulthood, yet even the most beautiful among them seemed the same to him.
And he found them all troublesome creatures, causing no stir in his heart.
He didn’t even know what kind of woman he liked.
Therefore, once having been so indifferent to women, he didn’t know whether he could ever find a wife to marry. If it weren’t for a union of love, he wouldn’t want to delay anyone.
So he was prepared to live a life of solitude.
But after meeting Wen Xian, all that changed.
She did everything she could, even abandoning the reserve of a traditional girl, harassing him in the middle of the night by showing up in his room, yet paradoxically she was blatant, domineering, and aggressive.
But honestly, it wasn’t for these reasons that he fell in love with her, and perhaps few men would truly be moved by such behavior from a woman.
He loved her because he saw through her essence.
He knew her flaws and her strengths,
He knew what kind of person she really was; with those she truly liked, she was just clumsy and didn’t know how to pursue.
Yet, in confrontations with criminals, she could throw caution to the winds, fearing for his safety, and step forward to be a hostage herself.
She seemed to have many bad habits, even initially couldn’t get along with the neighborhood puppy, and her words were bold and shameless.
But deep inside, she also had gentleness, she could also be shy.
Her words were fierce, but she kept herself clean and proper.
She appeared strong, stunning, indestructible, but in reality, she was soft, covering the real her with a thick shell.
Her childhood experience had made her a paradox.
Her personality was flawed, and he didn’t fall in love with her because of her tragic childhood.
Emotions are indeed a profound thing. When you fall in love with someone, you can appreciate their strengths and also embrace their faults, and even subtly—
