Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 302: Chapter 299: Fusion

His voice was languid with a touch of hoarseness, a bit of enticement, like a nocturne of lingering passion in the deep of night.

It disturbed her heart, little by little.

Wen Xian couldn’t utter a word anymore, nor did she have the strength to refute.

Lu Xiao’s gaze was deeply fixed on her, gently stroking her cheek, and then, he slowly lowered his head.

The eyelids dropped, and his breath mingled with hers.

Gently, he began with a tender peck on the corner of her lips.

…

…

“Did I get it wrong? Why would Wen Xian fall for someone like him… How could she…”

Huo Qi’s head buzzed, his heartbeat raced, and at that moment, he paced back and forth in the hall.

Turning incessantly, tugging at his hair, as if questioning his entire existence.

Xiao Yixing, sitting on the couch, furrowed his brows.

In the end, it seemed he ran out of patience, but beyond that, there was a fleeting deeper meaning in those indifferent eyes, elusive and gone in an instant, so swift it was hard to catch.

The next second, he got up and left with a book in hand.

Seeing him leaving, Huo Qi suddenly seized his arm, his face full of panic, “What else do you know? Can you tell me everything?”

Xiao Yixing glanced down at the hand gripping his wrist and, as he lifted his eyelids again, coldly spat out two words, “Let go.”

Huo Qi, seeing how indifferent he was, actually did let go and snorted helplessly:

“Is that really necessary? You look down on me that much?”

Xiao Yixing’s expression turned even darker, he withdrew his gaze preparing to go upstairs, but his hand paused on the stair’s handrail.

Then, without turning back, in a voice devoid of any emotion, he said:

“I advise you to give up on Lu Xiao. He likes women, and it’s impossible for him to like men.”

Or to be more precise, Lu Xiao liked that big-name celebrity.

Having said that, he continued upstairs.

But upon hearing these words, Huo Qi was instantly stunned.

Wait, wait a minute, what did he just say!?

Telling him to give up on Lu Xiao!?

Realizing what was said, Huo Qi’s eyes widened, and he quickly called out to him:

“Hey! Stop right there! What do you mean by what you just said!? Of course, I know that man likes women!”

Professor Xiao’s body stiffened for a moment.

He turned around, looking down condescendingly from the stairs, “If you know, why are you still troubled? You can’t compete with that woman.”

Upon hearing that, Huo Qi’s heart clenched tightly, and as he opened his mouth again, he incredulously looked up at him:

“Hey, buddy, what are you even talking about? Me, competing with Wen Xian for Lu Xiao!? Damn, buddy, have you got it twisted? It’s me competing with Lu Xiao for Wen Xian, if anything!”

At these words, Xiao Yixing just looked down at him from his high vantage point, and it seemed as if his eyes shimmered behind his glasses.

He pursed his lips lightly.

How come, he still——bisexual? Attracted to both men and women?

When he spoke again, it was still with a cold delivery of few words: “You wouldn’t win either way.”

Afterwards, he turned and left, without another moment’s hesitation.

Huo Qi: “…”? ? ?

Was he really that dismissing of him? Could he not compare to Lu Xiao?

He was just a Captain in an Uninhabited Area!

Even though, yes, Lu Xiao’s family lived in a courtyard house within Beijing’s Second Ring, but so what?

Who even was he?

He was Huo Qi.

That being said, he felt his head spinning from the conversation, completely confused and lost, totally unsure of what the situation actually was.

Why would he assume that he liked Lu Xiao?

The image of Lu Xiao’s cold gaze surfaced in his mind, and he was suddenly——
