His black winter jacket was too big for her.

The drastic color contrast between the jacket and her wine red strapped dress and pale complexion created a more impactful visual than before.

Lu Xiao was 1.88 meters tall, with a strong and solid build and a muscular body.

The jacket fit him just right, but she was barely 1.68 meters tall and not even 50 kilograms.

She had smaller bones and was curvy in the right places.

So his black winter jacket laid loosely on her body, even adding an unexplainable charm to her.

Lu Xiao ate, not even lifting his head. When his gaze swept across her body, it looked like he stopped for a slight moment.

However, in the next instant, he returned to his normal state, lowering his head, eating without speaking a word.

It was just that the grip in the hand he used to grip the chopsticks had slightly tightened.

Everyone had started eating, and the little fatty seated beside Wenxian had an especially good time eating.

He had two big chicken thighs in his hands, each hand holding one, eating so deliciously that his lips were glistening with oil.

Wenxian ate while looking at her ‘strong seven year-old boy’, and could not help but caress his tiny head kindly like an old mother, speaking humorously, “Look how hungry this child is, it’s like he didn’t get to eat for 10 minutes.”

“Pfft——!”

Everyone burst out laughing and were all giggling.

When the strong seven year-old boy heard that, he agitatedly retaliated with the chicken thighs in his hands, “No! I was eating lamb legs 10 minutes ago!”

With that, everyone laughed boisterously once again.

Wenxian could not help laughing, as she pinched his chubby cheeks, “Yes yes yes, I thought wrongly of you!”

Ah Ma was bringing everyone some highland barley alcohol, and when she heard that, she chuckled, “What are you talking about, Xiao Wen!”

Captain Lu glanced at her, replying faintly, “She tried.”

Sang Nian could not hold back anymore, his shoulders violently shaking from laughter.

Seems like the boss understood Sister Xian pretty well.

Wenxian was speechless, “…”

It looked like she had a smile on her face, but she continued staring seductively at him.

Under the bright, warm light, she was originally attractive with her eyes looking like they held spring water in them. Dark and moist, like an exquisite gem, dazzling with life.

In that moment, darkness completely took over the night.

The night was cold like water, and the vast sky crossed transversally.

In the dining hall of the jurisdiction region, even though everyone was just eating normal cafeteria food, they were all still in good spirits.

As Wenxian experienced that scene, she did not know how to feel about that deep down.

Usually, she was extremely busy with work. She had left Shanghai against the will of others, coming here to secretly take a few days off.

Although she earned a lot of money, but it has been very, very long since she has been surrounded by such genuine happiness.

It almost felt like she had never experienced it.

Although she was leaving tomorrow, she did not decide to tell them, except, Lu Xiao only.

Lu Xiao…

Tonight, he should… be free, right…?

…

There was a huge commotion surrounding her, but Lu Xiao had always been one who did not speak much, usually stern.

Under normal circumstances, all he could think of was various work-related issues.

While everyone was buzzing around, he was still preparing to inform everyone about an important work-related matter later.

Just as he was frowning in deep thought about how to arrange the workload later——

Suddenly, he did not know what he felt, but his body stiffened.

He even stopped chewing the meat in his mouth.

“…”

He slowly looked up, opposite him.

With one hand, Wenxian was holding a small spoon to stir the highland barley alcohol in the bowl before her, while her other hand held her jaw.

As he looked over, her lips curled up slightly, smiling extraordinarily innocently and harmless at him.

However, Lu Xiao’s body froze, his jaw tight, as he held the chopsticks tightly with his hand.

Under the table.

A pale and tender foot had reached the opposite, kicking onto his leg.
