Chapter 219: Chapter 216: Don’t Turn on the Light
Wen Xian was already drowsy when she vaguely saw one or two cars approaching head-on.
They were just cars on the highway, about to pass by when she suddenly opened her eyes unconsciously.
As a result, she looked directly into the eyes of someone in the approaching car.
The encounter instantly jolted her awake, dispelling all her drowsiness.
By the time she realized what had happened, the two consecutive cars had already driven away, leaving only their tail lights visible in the rearview mirror.
“What’s wrong, had a nightmare?”
Lu Xiao saw her shiver and asked with a furrowed brow.
Yet Wen Xian’s face was somewhat pale, still haunted by the pair of eyes she saw when she hazily opened her eyes.
The key was not just those eyes but the appearance and gaze of the person; they were somewhat familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before, carrying a bit of malice, and somewhat sinister.
Was she really not hallucinating or having a nightmare?
Wen Xian shook her head slightly, “…It’s nothing.”
Although she said that, she still kept a watchful eye, if she hadn’t seen wrong, who was that person just now?
A message flashed through her mind quickly but vanished in an instant, making it hard for her to capture.
About ten minutes later, they reached the jurisdiction area.
Although it was late at night, Old Man Lee was already waiting for them at the gate of the jurisdiction area with a flashlight in hand.
Pacing back and forth, peering out, he finally saw them returning.
When he saw the little puppy again, Old Man Lee, despite his age, couldn’t help but shed tears of relief.
“Ah, thank goodness, my Laifu.”
He took the little puppy, his hands trembling.
“Huh? It’s named Laifu?”
Wen Xian asked, patting him on the shoulder,
“It’s alright now, it’s not your fault. Now that it’s been found, it’s all good. I even named it Ping’an; surviving a great disaster means greater blessings to come.”
She comforted him, but Old Man Lee felt even more uneasy, hugging the puppy and shaking his head without speaking further.
Just as he turned to take the puppy back to its place, Wen Xian saw him lower his head, lift his hand, and rub his tearful eyes.
Luckily, she hadn’t told him everything that had happened; otherwise, at his age, he might not have been able to accept it.
Wen Xian saw Sang Nian’s car also arriving quickly. When Lu Xiao parked the car and came over, she quickly pulled him away to go upstairs.
Huo Qi was still in that car, and she couldn’t let him see her trace, especially since she was planning to spend the night with Lu Xiao.
They were returning to the drama set tomorrow.
Lu Xiao saw her hurrying upstairs and asked.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to have a—”
Before she could finish, Wen Xian seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped, followed by a dry laugh, “I’m rushing to the restroom.”
Although she said that, Lu Xiao would have been surprised if he believed her.
Once upstairs, she darted into his room.
He had arranged the guest room for her recovery, but she refused to go there, preferring to use the restroom in his room in the middle of the night?
Indeed, as soon as he began to enter the room, before he could switch on the light, a small hand suddenly pressed down on his.
“Don’t turn on the light!”
Her voice was low, carrying a sense of urgency near his ear.
Lu Xiao paused for a moment.
The room was still pitch-dark, the curtains half-drawn, with moonlight pouring through the gaps.
But then, a warm, soft body buried into his embrace…!
Clinging tightly to his body.
