Her face was rounder than before, but still slender, her pale skin even more apparent when she lifted her head, the curve of her jawline stretching into the neck creating an enchanting arc.
Lu Xiao felt that she, in this state, was beautiful, very beautiful.
In fact, they had both been busy today and hadn’t had a proper conversation.
As Wen Xian gazed at the vast starry sky, looking at the dark blue Milky Way, she slowly said,
"Lu Xiao, there is still so much unknown in this world."
It wasn’t just the unknown future of their lives, but also the unknowns of the heavens and the Milky Way.
The world was not immutable; perhaps it was calm one day, but the very next, everything could be turned upside down.
Lu Xiao took her hand, also staring at the starry sky, his voice deep:
"That’s why many of us come into this world not to explore it, but to experience it."
To live in the moment, to cherish the one beside you.
Every plant, every ray of sunshine, every drop of rain, is worth experiencing.
Wen Xian sighed softly, then slid down a bit, knees slightly bent, leaning back against the surface, with her hands pillowing her head.
In the bustling city where she lived, many people lead lives of repression and pain, some due to unsatisfying work, others due to failed marriages or trivial family matters.
But the most important thing for everyone is to master their emotions and control their mindset.
Negative emotions are contagious, and the resultant actions could cascade like kicking the cat, each one worsening.
One must also learn to control greed; human desires are like a bottomless gulf. It’s fine to keep running on the road, but occasionally stopping to admire the scenery along the way can be equally beautiful.
Everyone was sleeping inside tents or cabins, resting, while the two of them were on the cabin’s rooftop.
He sat there, she lay back there, watching the stars as time slowly passed, and they talked at a leisurely pace.
The camera slowly zoomed out, their figures gradually shrinking in the vastness of the universe, the image filling up with more and more surroundings, scenery...
The cabin in Kekexili was frozen in that moment.
A few days later, the couple left Kekexili.
Lu Xiao didn’t say goodbye to his colleagues in the jurisdiction because, in the hearts of many of them, he was like a pillar.
In Kekexili, his name and presence were a significant deterrent to all kinds of criminals.
It was just that Ga Zhuo had taken over the task of leading the team in various rescue operations. When inquired about where Team Lu had gone, Ga Zhuo looked out the window and slowly said,
"He has now gone to do something even more important that needs him. We just have to wait for his return."
Waiting for his return.
Yes, Wen Xian and Lu Xiao had agreed that every year, when they had time, they would come to stay in this cabin for a while, to steal a few days of quietude from their busy lives.
However, Wen Xian naturally didn’t know about Lu Xiao’s reassignment.
Lu Xiao also hadn’t told her that, in the future, whenever there was an important, urgent, major mission requiring his immediate presence and the cooperation of the special forces, he would have to rush over immediately.
The two planned to return to Beijing first and then fly directly from Beijing with colleagues from the national animal protection association to go abroad.
But before leaving Qinghai, Wen Xian stayed in one place for a long time.
That was the day they set off for Beijing—
