Chapter 358: Chapter 355

Her breathing became erratic and rapid, her chest continually heaving violently.

As she gradually realized where she was, looking at Little Zaijun deep in sleep beside her, she finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Then, carefully, she withdrew her arm and got down from the bed.

It was just a dream, thankfully.

Looking at the time, it was a little past one in the morning.

She had planned to leave once she was asleep, only to fall asleep herself.

For some reason, during those two hours, she had a nightmare.

She couldn’t quite remember what specifically happened in the dream, but it was utterly bizarre because she dreamed of a person.

That person, she had only met once.

Yes, it was that man she met on the plane when she flew back from Qinghai to Beijing.

As she became more awake, the fragments of the dream faded further, making it increasingly difficult for her to grasp any trace of them.

The only vague memory that lingered was of him with blood-covered hands, giving her a sinister and eerie smile, which frightened her awake abruptly.

Wen Xian’s face turned white.

She held her forehead and shook her head, as if trying to shake off that blurry image.

It was unbelievable; why would she dream about that person?

That person she felt she would never meet again.

She wrapped herself in a garment, carefully closed the door behind her, and walked through the corridor illuminated by the glow of the cold moonlight to the east wing.

A chill breeze swept over her feet and, having just experienced a nightmare, she suddenly felt a bit scared.

She quickly hurried to Lu Xiao’s room, pushed the door, and sure enough, it opened–

The room was dimly lit until she entered and hastily shut the door. After locking it, her somewhat panicked heart gradually calmed down.

In the room, a dim night-light still gleamed beside the bed where a person slept quietly.

Seeing Lu Xiao’s silhouette, the unease in her heart completely dissipated.

She turned off the light with extreme care, then got into bed.

But this time, looking at him clad in men’s casual pajamas, covered up tightly, she directly dove under the blanket.

In no time, a piece of clothing flew out from under the air, then another, and another, landing beside the bed.

Sure enough, it was her pajamas, her underwear.

Finally, she dived straight into the man’s arms.

And the man, who was already half-awake.

Feeling a body suddenly snuggle into his embrace and his fingertips touch something soft and smooth…

His body tensed up: “…”

The next day.

Wen Xian was also on a break today, given a day off by the crew.

She lingered in bed for a long time, indulging in a lazy sleep; her slender, fair arms and ankles subtly peeked out from under the dark grey blanket, indescribably enticing.

It wasn’t until noon, after lunch, that Lu Xiao woke her up.

In the afternoon.

Lu Xiao said he wanted to take her out for a while; Wen Xian did not know where he was taking her, but she dependently followed him into the passenger seat.

After the car started, it gradually merged into the bustling traffic of Beijing.

Today, Wen Xian did not see her younger cousin and casually wondered, “Where did Little Zaijun go? Where has she run off to?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao casually said, “She got a call early in the morning and went out, apparently a friend was looking for her, and she said she’d be back late tonight.”

But Wen Xian’s brow furrowed slightly.

A friend was looking for her? What friend? And where was she going to be late coming back from?

It wasn’t that she was overthinking, but given the heartfelt upset she had just endured, she was worried her cousin might do something impulsive.
