It felt like in that moment, time stopped.
Just like that, Wenxian stared at his face in close proximity, admiring his thick and dark eyelashes, his slightly droopy eyelids and high nose bridge…
It was the first time the two of them were in such close proximity.
However, it occurred so unexpectedly, catching her off guard.
She could see every inch of his face, even the small scar on his forehead that had been blocked by his black hair.
A gust of wind blew past.
It messed up her hair.
It also felt like it shook her…
Wenxian’s eyes flickered, revealing a deeper meaning, which was rarely seen.
The cigarette butt was ignited as he inhaled slightly, faintly glowing with a red light. As he walked away, the smoke seeped out through his nostrils.
His voice seemed to be overpowered by the smoke, when he spoke again, his voice was deep and hoarse, “Borrowing some fire, thanks.”
With that, he turned around, holding his cigarette between his lips, as he got busy with his hands once again.
Wenxian did not move at all.
She just looked at him like that, “…”
He was wearing a black T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up. As long as he exerted a bit of strength in his arm, those blue veins would appear. The hand he used to hold his polishing tool was strong yet slender, showing his bone structures distinctly.
As Wenxian stared at his hands, she suddenly recalled someone once telling her.
A man with thick and long fingers…
There, too.
…
Wenxian took a few steps back, squinting her dark, seductive eyes, as if it was hiding a lurking undercurrent in its depths.
She wrapped one arm around her chest, while using the other arm to hold her cigarette between her fingers, taking a deep breath.
She tried her best to suppress her innermost desires.
Lu Xiao, really didn’t look too bad.
She had a taste.
However, she still wished to fully experience whether he could really hold it out in real life!

Every time Wenxian wanted to talk to Lu Xiao about her leaving, she would somehow be interrupted.
By nightfall, the team members have all returned.
The young son of the dining hall old lady came over, along with the wolfdog puppy in the yard. What was originally a barren and lonely uninhabited region had become lively, once in a blue moon.
In the late noon, Wenxian did not speak to Lu Xiao again because he was busy.
From the windows upstairs, she could see him in his thin clothes. When he was hot, he would rub his forehead from time to time.
By sunset, the chimney was smoking from Ah Ma’s cooking, and he had completely finished his final tasks.
It was time for dinner.
When Wenxian came down from the second floor, Lu Xiao had also just returned from the backyard.
He looked cool and handsome, just that his dark, short hair was dripping with sweat.
Everyone was more or less present, sitting around the dining tables. When Ah Ma watched him enter, she quickly delivered a clean towel to him, “Aiya, you have been occupied the whole afternoon, quickly wash up and eat some hot food.”
Lu Xiao took the cloth from her and wiped his face. He was just about to walk in, when suddenly——
A figure was descending from the second floor.
That figure made everyone slightly stunned.
Wenxian was dressed especially beautifully tonight.
For she was leaving early the next day.
At that moment, she was wearing a wine red strapped dress.
The dress was off-shoulder styled, revealing her elegant collarbones, while the thin straps hung on her smooth, pale shoulders.
The tailored dress hugged her pale and tender thighs, fully covering her knees.
Her long hair was attractive, as it was slightly curled. The vintage wine red dress she wore had a clear contrast against her complexion, making her look even paler.
A bit of red lipstick added to her seductive appearance.
At that moment, she was so unrecognizably beautiful.
Lu Xiao just stood there rooted, watching her come down, step by step.
