In That Moment, Silence Spoke Louder Than Words

At nightfall, the sky was pitch-black.

The light was dim, and since he was standing against the light, his features were hidden in the darkness, except for his pair of eyes that were shining bright like gems.

Wenxian held his cigarettes and lighter in her hands.

Lu Xiao looked at the things in her hands.

Both of them, "…"

Instantly, there was a weird, unexplainable atmosphere in the air.

Silence, spoke louder than words.

Lu Xiao directly walked forward, reaching over to take the packet of cigarettes and the lighter.

His gaze turned towards the jurisdiction region entrance that had camouflaged with the darkness of the night, speaking faintly, "This cigarette is too strong, it doesn't suit you."

Wenxian was speechless, "..."

She looked at his cold side profile, and possibly guessed something, but did not probe further.

The only feeling left between them was flirtatiousness.

The edges of her lips curled up gently, as she flashed a faint smile, "Captain Lu, I'm leaving tomorrow."

She said abruptly.

It felt as if the wind turned still.

The man did not say anything immediately, only walking towards the wolfdog puppy's kennel at the side.

There was a metal plate at the dog kennel, with traces of food left over in it.

Lu Xiao poured food mixed with goat's milk into the tiny metal plate for the puppy, which was born less than a month ago.

Just like that, he knelt down on one knee with his tall figure, stirring the viscous food in the metal plate.

Under the cold moon high above.

A cold radiance shone on his body.

When the puppy heard the commotion, it emerged from its kennel wagging its tail, circling around his leg, even biting on his pant leg.

Lu Xiao held it by the back of its neck, adjusting it, allowing its tiny head to be buried inside the plate of milk before getting up and replying in a deep voice, "Sure, as long as you feel like you are more or less recovered you can feel free to leave. I have already fixed your car for you, so you can set off at any time."

He said that indifferently, as if what she said had not stirred any sort of emotions in him.

It was like a pebble thrown into the lake, no longer reverberating.

Wenxian was speechless, "..."

With that, Lu Xiao turned around to open the door, then returned back in.

Leaving Wenxian to stand under the night sky alone.

No, to be accurate, there was still the wolfdog puppy beside her.

He left just like… that?

Wenxian only felt her surroundings getting even colder.

Now, the wolfdog puppy started being mischievous. Upon seeing Captain Lu leave, it suddenly used its hind legs to scurry itself over closer to Wenxian——!

Its tiny paws trampled on her shoes, baring its teeth while barking at her fiercely.

Wenxian was originally rather frustrated and panicked upon seeing Lu Xiao's lack of reaction, but as she saw the puppy coming over to irritate her, she instantly kicked it away…!

She walked over by its plate in the kennel, and could not hold it back any longer, before stretching her leg out while aggressively threatening it, "You are rather savage, aren't you, you little thing? Do you believe I'll flip your plate with a kick of my leg——!"

She had not seen eye to eye with this little thing since day one, every time she saw it she would recall herself eating the sweet potato, and no matter which way she looked, it looked like that dog Lu!

This little thing keeps coming up to tear at her the moment it sees her, not even considering that it's just a small fry that carries barely any weight!

Seeing that its food plate was being threatened, the puppy instantly did not dare to approach, only barking and barking fiercely, going around in circles frantically.

"I'll see if you dare to bite me and make sure you remember who I am——"

Just as the heartless, violent Wenxian was saying she was going to flip its plate and lifted up her leg, she was about to kick it over before——

Creak——

The door was pushed open from the inside, and the dark and tall figure emerged once again.

Carrying a bowl of clean and clear water in his hands.

[Nine Brother: Hahaha, Sister Xian, begging you to be humane! The story develops quickly further on! The dog is a foreshadow!]
