Chapter 410: Chapter 447

Captain Lu’s words were astonishingly bold. As soon as he uttered them, she felt her heart race and her cheeks flush with the realization.

She couldn’t help but wriggle in his arms, “Captain Lu, you’re so bad.”

Just look at what he was saying.

Utterly shameless.

Lu Xiao: “…”

As the queue moved forward, Lu Xiao protectively put an arm around Wen Xian’s shoulder, leading her along. Though he appeared utterly serious, he offhandedly asked:

“What, you don’t like it?”

Wen Xian: “…”

“Since you don’t like it, then I will——”

Before he could finish, Wen Xian interrupted him. She tiptoed, pulled down his scarf, and quickly pecked his chin:

“I like it.”

How could she not like it? She loved it to death.

Lu Xiao’s heart trembled slightly. He quickly adjusted her scarf back in place, revealing only her smiling crescent eyes.

The brilliance in his eyes was like dazzling starlight, exceptionally moving.

Lu Xiao’s heart almost melted into water. He pulled her into his arms, protected her, and hugged her tightly.

With the increasing crowd, no matter how close they stood, no one would say anything. From afar, the two of them completely blended into the mass of people.

As time ticked by, many people stomped their feet in place to ward off the cold, but Wen Xian was increasingly grateful for Lu Xiao’s foresight.

Though she was dressed like a little penguin, she felt warm and indulged in burying her head into his embrace one moment and leaning her back against him the next.

She was lazy and fidgety, and Lu Xiao indulged her.

As long as she was under his watchful eye, anything was fine.

As dawn gradually brightened, around seven o’clock, the flag-raising ceremony was about to begin.

After standing outside for so long, the breath they exhaled frosted her curly eyelashes and the strands of hair scattered around her forehead and cheeks.

At that moment, there was some commotion at the front of the crowd as the flag-guarding team arrived.

The crowd instantly felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

The guards marched in a remarkably neat row, with their military might and green uniforms making everyone look even more upright and striking.

“So handsome!”

Wen Xian’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in admiration.

Lu Xiao: “…”

He glanced down at her, wholly captivated by the sight before her.

Captain: “…”

Didn’t she love him anymore?

Captain Lu wasn’t petty enough to ask whether he was handsome or the flag-guarding team was. Instead, he subtly shifted their position.

Wen Xian’s view was suddenly blocked by people, and she desperately craned her neck.

“Ah, I can’t see anymore.”

Lu Xiao took a deep breath and reached out his hand.

Just as Wen Xian tried to look at the statuesque flag guards again, her vision suddenly darkened as a large hand covered her eyes and brow.

She could no longer see anything.

At the same time, a voice fell by her ear:

“What are you looking at them for? The flag raising is what you should watch.”

It’s enough to watch the red flag fluttering with him.

Wen Xian pried open his warm palm and, when she took it back, she bit her lip gently, her eyes moist and soft as she looked at him and said:

“What’s wrong, Captain Lu? Are you jealous?”

Captain’s tone was firm: “No.”

Hearing this, Wen Xian’s eyebrow quirked slightly, and she drew out a long “oh,” then suddenly turned around: “Then I’ll continue watching… Ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was abruptly pulled into his embrace and let out a cry as her eyes and brows were covered once more.

This time, however, a gentle yet somehow resigned and compromising male voice was heard beside her——
