Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 521 - 518: Sweet and Warm Life (1)

The clothes she wore were too big, and the thick snow on the ground made it difficult to run.

Yet when she saw that figure in the distance, appearing outside the cabin, she ran toward him, regardless of everything.

Even though she couldn’t see his face clearly, she was certain it was Lu Xiao.

Standing on the steps of the cabin, Lu Xiao just stared as the figure raced toward him, and his rigid body suddenly stood up.

In the vast snowy landscape, the world seemed to be blanketed in white.

The camera zooms out, and from afar, one can see two figures running towards each other on the snow-covered ground.

It seemed as though nothing in the world could stop them from being together.

In the distance, there were towering snow mountains, vast forests of pine covered in snow, and lakes blanketed by snow; the scene was majestic and beautiful. Compared to the grandeur of nature, the two of them seemed so small.

But what did that matter?

They finally appeared before each other in the vast white world, his chest heaving, her breath forming white mist at her lips. They just looked deeply at each other, and the next second—

It wasn’t clear who moved faster, but they embraced tightly.

Wen Xian held him close, her head buried in his chest. Even though his clothes were cold, she pressed close to him, her eyes reddening, tears nearly spilling out.

Lu Xiao held her just as tightly, his chin resting on her hair. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The task his superior wanted him to do was still important, yet he had to withdraw from the front line and couldn’t battle alongside his teammates anymore.

The first time, he refused and went to the western region.

But this second time, he might have to accept a new mission.

At this moment, Wen Xian didn’t know what he meant, she just held him tightly, feeling the complex emotions akin to regaining something lost.

Looking at the damaged cabin, Lu Xiao decided to take Wen Xian away from there first.

When the wind ceased and the snow stopped, they would come back.

They would also go to the market to purchase some new materials, to repair the place, and to install a new fireplace.

The two left the cabin, and in the vast snowy landscape, an off-road vehicle became a dot, shrinking smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the distance.

A week later.

In a small town in the western region.

In the morning, an early market had set up where local residents brought their wares for sale.
