Chapter 163: Chapter 160: That’s Probably the End of My Life
The significance of a day lies in the morning.
When a hint of golden light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, Wen Xian’s eyelashes trembled slightly, her brows knit, and then her eyes slowly opened.
His voice resonated inside the car, likely weary from a night of little rest, carrying a lazy hoarseness.
The car seat had been adjusted to one hundred twenty degrees, and she was still draped in his coat, unaware of when she had fallen asleep last night, so tired.
But that wasn’t the point.
After Wen Xian slowly opened her bleary eyes, she was stunned by the scene in the distance.
Her heart trembled slightly, “When did you bring me here…?!”
Could this really not be a dream?
She had fallen asleep in the car the night before, but what about the surrounding grassland, the desert, and what was before her eyes now?
Their SUV was perched atop a mountain peak, with a steep cliff ahead.
In the distance lay the snow-covered towering mountain ranges, vast and undulating.
Below were the orderly forests, and from this height, she could also see the lake in the distance, shining with sparkling waves under the gradually brightening light.
Yet all this was not the most shocking; what made her involuntarily hold her breath was the sunrise.
It arose bit by bit from the horizon, gold and red lights intertwining, at that moment as if the night faded away, the sunrise gradually tinting everything in the world with vivid colors.
It brought new vitality and life to all beings.
Lu Xiao watched as the golden light reflected in the depths of her eyes, and his lips slightly curled, “This is a view many travelers wish to see but rarely do.”
After speaking, he paused slightly in tone, “I’ve seen it many times, and each time it’s stunning, but I was always alone.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian’s heart trembled slightly.
Then she shifted her gaze to him.
In the sunrise, the light carved out the silhouette of his nose bridge; his profile outlined against the distant mountains and lakes, making her soul tremble intensely.
In that moment, he seemed like a painting etched by God’s own chisel, sketching him with mountains and sunrise into an eternal fresco deeply imprinted in her mind.
She would never forget it in her lifetime.
She said, “Lu Xiao, you are no longer alone.”
Such scenery without a loved one to share, is an ultimate regret.
Lu Xiao had indeed not slept during the latter half of the night but had driven a great distance to bring her here.
She was indeed tired from the journey and had been restless for a long time, so when he lifted her from beside him and nestled her in his arms, it wasn’t long before she fell asleep.
She slept very deeply, very deeply.
No one knew the beauty of the Tibetan Area better than him.
Now, with her by his side, they had seen the starlit Milky Way and the golden mountain at sunrise; in this lifetime, it seemed there were no regrets left.
They got out of the car, and the chilly wind made her spirited.
Lu Xiao helped her don his coat, and Wen Xian looked at him, then turned her face away, facing the mountains and lakes bathed in golden light, she cupped her hands around her lips and suddenly shouted:
“Lu Xiao…! I really like you…! I will like you for a very long time, do you know that…!”
Her voice began to echo through the mountains, over and over again.
Lu Xiao gazed at her delicate and fair features, his eyes deeply fixed on her, “Wen Xian, how long is a very long time?”
Wen Xian was still catching her breath, and upon hearing his question, also looked at him.
The wind in the mountains tangled her hair around her lips, which she brushed aside and then gazed at him more seriously than ever:
“That would probably be until the end of my life.”
