Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 103: Chapter 100: Initiative

After she realized something, her heart suddenly tightened, and her mind became clear.

Lying on her side, occupying a corner, her small hand curled up against her chest, she seemed to be sleeping. Yet, as his footsteps approached, she felt as if her heart would be knocked out of her chest by a small deer, and her heart nearly leapt out.

Her ears started to uncontrollably heat up, becoming burning hot.

The footsteps outside stopped in place, and it seemed as if everything between heaven and Earth had fallen silent.

A moment later, with a swoosh, someone from outside opened the tent zipper, and he, entered.

Wen Xian: “…”

!!!

Dammit, she was going to die, her heart was about to burst. Should she pretend to sleep, or should she still pretend to sleep?

However, the man who entered didn’t give her much chance to pretend to sleep. In the night, Wen Xian heard his husky voice, carrying a bit of warmth, coming directly, “Aren’t you cold?”

He asked.

Wen Xian immediately, flusteredly stammered, “No, not cold.”

Far from being cold, she only felt a burning warmth enveloping her, making her chest heat up.

“Mmm, good if you’re not cold.”

Saying this, he sat down outside the tent.

Wen Xian: “…”

He wasn’t coming in?

Filled with a nervous yet expectant heart, she softly asked, “Lu, Lu Xiao, aren’t you coming in?”

“Mmm, not sleepy yet.”

His voice came through.

Wen Xian: “…”

She gently bit her lip and slowly opened her eyes.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Lu Xiao tonight, was being disciplined, yet somehow gentle.

She also slowly got up, wanting to see what he was doing sitting outside.

Lu Xiao noticed her leaning closer, his eyebrows slightly twitching.

The two of them sat outside the tent, the campfire leaping, the grasslands were exceptionally tranquil.

If it had been her alone, no matter how beautiful the night, she would have been incredibly afraid, but with him by her side now, she felt an immense sense of security.

The Milky Way was vast, nights with the Milky Way in September were rare, but once they appeared, they were extremely spectacular and magnificent, moving people’s hearts. Wen Xian slightly tilted up her face, staring at the starry sky, completely entranced.

Beautiful, so beautiful. This was the first time she had seen the Tibetan Area’s Milky Way so vividly and shockingly.

It was a color close to dark blue and purple, the Milky Way like a ribbon woven with starry specks, showed itself clearly on this night, extraordinarily mysterious, beautiful, and immense.

While she was stunned by it, she also felt that she was but a tiny grain of sand in the vast sea.

A mayfly in the space between heaven and earth, it was too vast, merely dust.

As she gazed at the Milky Way, the man beside her drew back his gaze and looked towards her.

The flickering campfire light fell upon her fair, enchanting face, stunningly beautiful.

“The Milky Way is so beautiful…” Wen Xian murmured. And then, when she drew back her gaze and subconsciously looked towards Lu Xiao, she unexpectedly crashed into his deep, dark eyes.

Her breath hitched immediately: “…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her heart trembled.

Had he been… watching her all along?

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere around them subtly changed.

Unknowingly, Wen Xian seemed suddenly a bit flustered, she quickly looked down, but the firelight reflected her slightly reddened ears.

Yet she still felt as though his gaze remained on her.

Unmoving.

Until, finally, she felt his figure leaning closer and closer.

Wen Xian’s whole body tensed, her fine white fingers clutching tightly onto her sleeves.

His body leaned over, casting a shadow on the grass.

And she, also felt, that blending with hers, his warm breath…
