Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 300: Chapter 297: Stay Away Chapter 300: Chapter 297: Stay Away His entire body felt as if it had been doused with a bucket of icy water poured from head to toe, chilling him to the core!

No, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, was it…

…

Wen Xian had just gone up the stairs and entered the room where she rested.

Inside, everything was spotless and tidy, and even her backpack was there, containing some simple change of clothes.

As she went upstairs, she glanced at Lu Xiao.

But that was it, she still hadn’t agreed to make up with him.

Although it was tough, this was an inevitable process.

Then, while Wen Xian was taking a hot shower, a figure appeared outside the door.

The shadow was elongated by the faint night light in the hallway.

He stood at the door and knocked.

For a moment.

He felt that the saying “fortune comes in cycles” was certainly true.

It seemed that once upon a time, a woman had knocked on his door in this very corridor one night.

The only difference was their state of mind.

There was no response from inside, so he curled his index finger and knocked again softly.

“…”
Still no response, and this time, his hand landed on the doorknob, pressing down–
The door opened.

He frowned instantly.

She hadn’t locked the door.

The cold moon hung high in the corridor outside, a breeze blowing by.

In an instant, the corridor was deserted, and everything fell into silence.

As soon as the man entered, he heard the sound of rushing water coming from the closed bathroom.

His eyes immediately deepened a bit.

She… was taking a shower.

The continuous sound of rushing water seemed to involuntarily conjure images in his mind.

He immediately took a deep breath, averted his gaze, clenched his fist tighter, trying not to think, and his eyes fell on a backpack on her bedside table.

Deep down, he knew full well.

She had finished her part in Qinghai, it was over, which also meant she would soon be leaving.

And later–
There was no telling when she might return.

He had not neglected to consider their future together, on the contrary, after he had committed to her, he had thought a lot.

He wanted to give her a home.

But there were still some practical issues, such as geographical distance, standing in their way, the biggest hurdles.

At the moment,
He walked slowly over to her backpack, reached into the pocket of his coat, and then pulled out a small folding dagger.

It looked inconspicuous, easy to carry, and could be used for self-defense.

No matter what, once she left here, he planned to have two people from his family go there to covertly ensure her safety.

Just as he was placing the self-defense folding dagger into her backpack, suddenly, the bathroom door behind him opened–
He instinctively turned around.

At that glance, he was instantly stunned.

Her fair and slender body was wrapped in a white towel, her long hair wrapped in another towel with a few strands falling around her delicate neck.

Without makeup, her naturally thick and curled lashes were still wet, truly a vision of beauty emerging from water.

With just one look, Lu Xiao’s gaze couldn’t move away.

Wen Xian, startled by his unexpected appearance, suddenly tightened the towel around her chest, staring at him in shock, “You, what are you doing here?”

As these words fell, Lu Xiao just looked at her, then suddenly turned around and started walking towards her step by step.

Wen Xian, while supporting herself against the wall, unconsciously moved back, watching his tall figure get closer, her breathing nearly stopped.

“No, no, I didn’t mean it, don’t come any closer, stop it!”

As she said this, she–
