"If you really cling to , I’ll marry you!"
"Really?!"
Knowing it was a joke, Xu Xia couldn’t help but question whether it was true or false.
"Really!" Leng Zirui’s lips curled upward, "If one day you want to get married and can’t find a groom, co to , and I’ll marry you!"
Even if it’s a joke, speaking the truth sohow feels satisfying.
Xu Xia lifted her face, "You said it, a man must keep his word!"
"The Leng Family always keeps their word!" Leng Zirui raised his gaze.
Their eyes t unexpectedly in the rearview mirror, and a second later, both of them smiled exaggeratedly at each other, then withdrew their gazes, feeling a bit of sourness in their hearts.
This kind of joke is really not funny!
Xu Xia turned her face and looked out the window, changing the topic, "Where are we going?!"
Unknowingly, the car had already driven onto the road leading to the suburbs. Xu Xia had been to the Eagle Falcon Squad and knew this was not the road leading to the squad headquarters.
"To an outdoor training base. I have a training mission these days." Leng Zirui glanced at his wristwatch, "Buckle up, it’s a bit late, I’ll drive faster!"
Xu Xia obediently pulled over the seat belt and fastened it. Leng Zirui, watching her movents in the rearview mirror, noticed her tucking in her injured foot and imdiately reminded her, "Try not to move your foot!"
Once she had buckled up, he imdiately stepped on the accelerator.
There was a bit of traffic in the city; he was already running a bit late and had to hurry, focusing on driving. Leng Zirui didn’t speak further.
Initially, Xu Xia watched the scenery outside the window; feeling bored, she withdrew her gaze and looked at him through the rearview mirror. From her angle, she could just see his face. Leng Zirui’s expression was very focused; his lips that usually curved upward with a mischievous smile were now pressed into a straight line, devoid of the usual unruly and teasing look.
The car drove very fast but extrely smoothly.
Even when maneuvering between two vehicles, his expression remained very calm, exuding extre certainty and confidence.
This was the real Leng Zirui, the steady and calm Leng Zirui hidden beneath a facade of unruliness and indulgence.
Looking at him, Xu Xia was unconsciously lost in thought.
Until the car drove into the outdoors and stopped by a forest.
Leng Zirui parked the car in a shaded spot, subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, and saw Xu Xia in the back seat staring at him with a look very similar to how she appeared when playing the piano and singing.
Absent was the usual impetuousness; her eyes were filled with deep emotions, seemingly harboring profound lancholy.
This was the real Xu Xia, the true Xu Xia beneath the facade of a nonchalant deanor, who seed indifferent to everything; her inner self was sensitive and delicate.
Such lancholy was enough to make his heart ache.
"What are you thinking about?"
Turning his face, Leng Zirui glanced at her from the side of the seatback.
"Ah! Nothing..." Xu Xia snapped back to reality, looking out the window, "Are we there?!"
What was it that made her so lancholy?!
Leng Zirui couldn’t comprehend; he couldn’t see through it.
He opened the car door and got out. Raising his hand, he opened her door and helped undo her seatbelt, naturally lifting her out of the car.
"Let’s go, I’ll carry you to the command center; there’s a tent there."
