Chapter 609: Chapter 606
Although the space at the back was narrower, Wen Xian felt as if she had found her place of belonging, sleeping soundly, leaning against that broad and warm shoulder.
It was as if she were in her bed at home, leaning against Lu Xiao’s shoulder, using his arm as a pillow.
Especially since she could often feel him pulling up the blanket for her.
In less than five hours, the plane arrived in the Philippines, and around five in the morning, the sky was dimly lit. Due to its geographical location, which is different from Beijing’s, the area had a tropical marine monsoon climate, making it hot and rainy, perfect for vacation travel.
This season was also not the rainy season, so going out to sea was convenient with not much wind and waves.
As the plane began to descend and the flight attendant asked everyone to raise their window shades, Wen Xian gradually woke up.
She was still groggy when she suddenly felt the “pillow” she had been resting on move; the person beside her leaned over to help her open the window shade.
The outside was brightly lit, and a ray of light streamed in, making her instinctively want to avoid it, fearing it would glare into her eyes.
But after waiting for some time and noticing no glare, as she fully came to her senses and opened her eyes to see a large hand stretched out in the air, shielding the light for her, she was suddenly taken aback.
She had slept so deeply that, upon seeing the large hand in front of her and feeling that she was still resting on someone’s shoulder, her heart almost stopped beating.
After she had recovered, she quickly straightened up and created some distance between them, hastily saying, “I’m, I’m sorry.”
Wen Xian felt somewhat annoyed with herself; it was so embarrassing to have slept so deeply and to have unwittingly used someone else’s shoulder as a pillow.
However, the just-awoken Wen Xian’s mind was still half a beat slow, feeling as if she had inadvertently overlooked something.
The feeling of the person beside her, as well as the scent on his body that made her feel at ease, was so familiar…
“What is there to be sorry for?”
The man beside her suddenly spoke. His voice was clear and crisp, with a scratchy sexiness that was very appealing, very seductive, and very… familiar.
So when Wen Xian heard this voice, she almost jumped out of her seat.
She turned her head swiftly, her eyes wide, staring at the man beside her.
Wen Xian was completely stunned, with disbelief filling her eyes and an unmistakable hint of surprise.
The man in front of her wore a black windbreaker with the collar pulled all the way up to his Adam’s apple.
He wore a baseball cap, his eyes were narrow and clear, his nose bridge high, looking like unattainable peaks, his countenance cold and austere, his features refined and firm, and his contours resolute and perfect.
At that moment, as he watched her completely dumbfounded, his eyes suddenly deepened with understanding.
The next second, he leaned in close, pecked the corner of her lips, and then, with his voice low and hoarse, whispered in her ear:
“Miss Wen, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Lu Xiao, the former captain of the Falcon Commando. For this international charity event in the Philippines, I will follow the tasks assigned by my superiors, take charge of this event, and serve as your personal bodyguard, protecting you throughout…”
Upon hearing this: “…”
Wen Xian couldn’t help but cover her mouth, feeling so exhilarated she was almost bursting with excitement.
She felt like everything was more fantastical than a dream, because—
