Tangling with the Western Commander-Chapter 566 - 563

The sound of their breathing, and the beating of their hearts.

If it weren’t for Lu Xiao holding her hand, she might have even felt dizzy.

Because it was somewhat difficult to distinguish whether she was in reality or a reflection in a dream.

The two of them walked onto the surface of the lake, and Lu Xiao’s voice rang in her ear:

"Do you like it?"

The next time they returned here, who knew when it would be, but if nothing went wrong, it would be a very long time.

So he didn’t want to leave her with any regrets.

...

Wen Xian was completely intoxicated by the moment, her gaze lingering adoringly.

Today, she wore a coat outside, and underneath was a vintage red dress, matched with a pair of black boots.

When she turned to look at Lu Xiao again, she said to him, "Lu Xiao, take a picture of me."

At her words, Lu Xiao laughed.

He had long grown accustomed to her love for taking photos, so this time, he took out a camera from his pocket and said to her:

"Go ahead, I’m ready."

Wen Xian immediately smiled, her lips red and teeth white, beaming with blissful happiness.

Just as she did the first time she came to Qinghai and was about to leave, she had asked Lu Xiao to take photos of her in the Gesang Flower Sea.

Now, the two already understood each other without words.

She was like a carefree girl, handing her coat to him and then walking ahead toward the Mirror of the Sky,

The world was tinted with hues of red and orange, golden light piercing through the clouds, shining down upon the Mirror of the Sky, with her red dress amidst it all, as beautiful as a person who stepped out of a painting.

Lu Xiao looked deeply at the scene, raised the camera, and quickly pressed the shutter.

Her dress fluttered, she turned around, looked back, and smiled at him.

She gazed into the distance, the golden light enshrouding her profile.

One by one, exquisite photos were captured in that moment, each one framed perfectly.

Of course, there had to be a couple’s shot in the end.

The last couple’s shot was a delayed exposure in the camera.

Of course, that was Wen Xian’s idea.

They walked hand in hand toward the golden light behind the clouds, as if chasing after the setting sun.

In the end, in the frame, the man’s tall black silhouette held the woman’s hand, a slender figure as red as a rose.

They faced the gathering twilight in the distance, the light enveloping them completely, their hands interlocked, the image frozen in that moment.

It was as if it signified that they would keep walking, keep walking on.

No matter if the road ahead was fraught with danger.

The plane arched across the sky, leaving behind a white trail.

After returning to Beijing, Wen Xian went directly to work with the National Animal Conservation Association to prepare for an international exchange program.

Wen Xian asked Lu Xiao why he came back with her. He only mentioned that his superiors contacted him and assigned him a mission.

Seeing that, Wen Xian didn’t ask any more questions, and once again marveled at how Lu Xiao went off to protect others, while she needed someone else to accompany and protect her when she went abroad.

After coming back, there was too much to do, and their wedding had to be scheduled, and although Lu Xiao’s parents—who were also her parents—were helping, she still wanted to be involved to some extent.

However, just a few days before she was due to leave, something happened.

It wasn’t a big deal nor was it trivial, but in terms of embarrassment, Wen Xian felt it could rank first in her life—
