Chapter 14: Wild Jasmine
Yan Beixiao was playing with a green mango.
He knew Lei Xiao for years and the latter—ruthless though his methods may be—was inexperienced in relationships, silly as a goose, and did not even peek at women.
"You can obviously dodge it but you chose to take such a beating despite knowing the person standing behind you would be stupefied!"
The corner of Yan Beixiao's lips curled up into a mocking smile. This trick of insuring oneself to gain the enemy's confidence was truly devious!
Lei Xiao looked at him with deep dark eyes that almost made him cave.
"Stop looking at me like that. I almost wet my pants."
Yan Beixiao threw the green mango in Lei Xiao's direction and he caught it with ease.
Although he had yet to recover from his high fever, there was no sign of weakness at all.
"The news has been delivered back to Jiang City and everything went according to the previous plan."
Yan Beixiao raised his brows.
"Besides, Lin Hanxing is a really interesting person." He told Lei Xiao everything that happened at the intersection earlier.
Not even Yan Beixiao could resist her ferocity.
"How strange! We can't find any information about Lin Hanxing." This was the very first time they encountered this. freewebnovel .com
Where did she come from? What kind of influential person was behind her, and so on… They could not find anything about her.
It was as though she appeared out of thin air.
Yan Beixiao subconsciously glanced at Lei Xiao as he was thinking about it.
All he saw was his usually stoic friend possessing a gentle look in his eyes.
"Leave now! She's back."
Lei Xiao's facial expression dissipated as he pointed Yan Beixiao to the window.
Just as Yan Beixiao wanted to protest, he heard a movement from the yard.
His tall body disappeared through the window promptly.
Lei Xiao laid back on his bed and shut his eyes…
…
Lin Hanxing took a shower after she came back. freewebnovel(.)com
She intended to sleep after she got changed but after thinking about it, she turned on the light and walked toward the guest room.
The Dai Bamboo House was extremely quiet in the late night.
The floral and fruity scents became richer at night. Lin Hanxing casually picked some wild jasmine in her hand and pushed the guest room door open.
She halted as soon as the door opened.
She glanced over the window but said nothing.
"I know you're awake." Lin Hanxing turned her back to Lei Xiao as she placed the wild jasmine into the vase—her voice was soft.
Lei Xiao had already opened his eyes the moment she turned around.
The corner of Lin Hanxing's mouth curved upward, as if carrying a childish pride.
That mole on her face made her all the more seductive.
She had just finished showering.
"Your tattoo looks very nice." Lin Hanxing thought of the exquisite Sanskrit tattoo, tilted her head sideways, and said.
Lei Xiao sat up. His lips cracked because of his fever. He seemed to have something to say but he intuitively revealed his side waist.
Lin Hanxing was taken aback for a moment and could not help but laugh soon after.
He appeared superior and aloof during the first time she met him.
The second time she met him, he was a bastard who purposely set a trap and led her into it.
Looking at him then, Lin Hanxing could only conclude that he was a psychopath.
What a pity…
Lin Hanxing instantly snapped back to reality and walked to Lei Xiao.
She was very much fascinated by the tattoo.
This was despite Lin Hanxing not understanding its meaning.
"For you, I too am determined to walk toward the light. The world will no longer be too lonely to me," Lei Xiao's low magnetic voice sounded in her ears.
As Lin Hanxing raised her head intuitively, she inadvertently made eye contact with him...
