Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 551 - 548: The Tender She

Sang Nian could even hear the erratic breathing of the girl on him, and feel the softness, characteristic of a maiden’s body.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he couldn’t help but curse softly under his breath.

How could he have thought of anything else.

And Jin Zhu also slowly lifted her head in his arms.

Her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered slowly due to the shock.

The moment she looked up, her gaze collided with the boy’s dark and deep eyes.

Their bodies were pressed closely together, each could clearly feel the other’s temperature; at that moment of eye contact, time seemed to have stopped.

They looked at each other as if all the sounds around them were automatically blocked out.

Gradually, Jin Zhu kept looking at him, the adorable girl couldn’t help but slightly droop her brows and eyes, lightly bite her lip, and her ears turned faintly red.

Sang Nian’s heart skipped a beat, and it was only then that he suddenly realized he was still holding her.

He hurriedly released her, and before he could make any further move, he suddenly saw a figure rushing over.

It was Zha Xi.

He quickly came over to support Jin Zhu, asking with a worried face, "Are you okay, did you fall down?"

Sang Nian: "..."

His face instantly took on a subtle look.

Jin Zhu stammered, "No, I’m fine, it’s just Sang Nian——"

His arm was around her waist, preventing her from bumping or scraping herself.

"I’m fine."

Sang Nian’s voice suddenly became much colder, then he pulled away from her and stood up on his own.

He didn’t say a word of apology for what had just happened.

Zha Xi’s brows furrowed, looking at Sang Nian’s receding figure and then at Jin Zhu’s palm, which obviously had some scrapes; he sighed helplessly and then directly took her to treat the wound.

Jin Zhu tried to pull her hand away but couldn’t.

As Sang Nian resumed walking, he suddenly turned around and saw Zha Xi at the tent camp, carefully treating Jin Zhu’s hand.

They were so close to each other, it looked like their relationship... was so intimate.

He felt as though something was clogging his heart, making breathing somewhat difficult.

Wen Xian finished pouring millet wine for the team members and was silently observing this scene.

Especially when she saw Sang Nian standing alone not far away, with his back to them, one hand on his waist, kicking a stone beneath his feet angrily, she couldn’t help but shake her head slightly.

The kid was too stubborn.

He obviously liked Jin Zhu but dared not admit it, not to mention he was anxious to clear himself of any connection.

But Zha Xi cared for her, treated her gently, like an elder brother watching over her. If Sang Nian kept being this obstinate, Little Jin Zhu might really end up with someone else.

It’s not that she’s biased, what matters is what Little Jin Zhu wants and chooses.

She knew that Little Jin Zhu liked Sang Nian.

A lot.

But she was also angry, angry at Sang Nian’s indifferent attitude toward her.

Watching the stubborn figure of the boy, Wen Xian unconsciously stroked her chin, hesitating whether she should give the two of them a helping hand before leaving...?

...

The barbecue was almost ready, there were roasted chickens, pork rolls, and fish they just caught from the lake, turned directly into grilled fish.

Combined with the sweet and sour millet wine, everyone sat together in the courtyard, amid loud laughter and lively conversation.

Lu Laifu was happily hopping around here, devouring barbecued meat, surrounded by so much affection, it was simply—
