Tangling with the Western Commander - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Chapter 295: Sleeping

Lu Xiao wasn’t her bodyguard, he was her bona fide man.

Lu Xiao’s chest rose and fell slightly, and at last, he looked away and started the car.

The atmosphere was peculiarly delicate with three people in the car.

Wen Xian just felt that something about Huo Qi was off today.

In the past, when the three of them were together, he would either play with his phone or chat idly with them, if not sleeping.

But now.

He just sat in the back, not even touching his phone.

And she didn’t know if it was just her overthinking, but she felt that Lu Xiao’s expression wasn’t quite right either.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

His whole body seemed to be enveloped in an indescribably low pressure.

What was happening, could it be just because Huo Qi had run onto the car to be a third wheel?

Both men had an off vibe around them.

The most uncomfortable one was her.

And just when the car had fallen into a weird silence.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the dim back of the car:

“Axian, I like you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Xian’s body stiffened instantly.

The car jolted as it failed to avoid a rock and ran right over it.

Wen Xian quickly grabbed the seat belt, feeling the man’s breath next to her turn suddenly cold. When she looked back, somewhat bewildered, at Huo Qi:

“What are you doing, why say this all of a sudden?”

After giving her a glance, Huo Qi’s gaze fixed straight on Lu Xiao who was driving.

His eyes rested on Lu Xiao’s tensed body and the hands that were gradually tightening on the steering wheel…!

Then, he looked back at Wen Xian and said, “I’ve come with you to Qinghai, you should be able to see how much I like you.”

With those words falling.

Wen Xian felt her temples throbbing violently.

Damn it.

Did he no longer want to live, planning to drag her down with him?

Already simple-minded, and now courting death prematurely.

By now, the aura around Lu Xiao wasn’t just freezing cold, the air seemed to be icing over inch by inch.

Watching Lu Xiao’s expression grow uglier by the second.

She was afraid to reveal the truth, lest Huo Qi directly jump out of the moving car.

She took a deep breath, and when she opened her mouth again, she turned back to him with a fake official smile, “I get your feelings, ha, thanks for the support, bro.”

At those words, Huo Qi: “…”

His eyes twitched fiercely.

What the hell, did she think of him as a fan or something?

Wen Xian saw Huo Qi quiet down and finally relaxed, although her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

By ten o’clock at night, they finally reached the jurisdiction area.

At this time, there weren’t many people inside; those who needed to rest had gone to sleep.

Except for one person–

In the hall’s lounge area of the jurisdiction area, a figure sat on the sofa, head bent over a book.

The light shone on him, rendering his skin even colder and paler.

Beneath the gold-rimmed silver glasses were indifferent eyes that betrayed no emotion.

His pupils held nothing but dense data.

It was the geology professor Xiao Yixing.

There was a problem with the light in his room, so he had come down to read.

Seeing their arrival, his expression was mild. He simply nodded his head without saying much.

Wen Xian, on the other hand, yawned with her hand over her mouth, her tone somewhat tired and languid:

“I’m so tired, I’m going to sleep first.”

But as she said this, she glanced at Lu Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Xiao’s gaze collided with hers: “…”

Just one look seemed to contain so many meanings.
