Xu Qian smiled and touched his chin with her fingertips.
He had grown a bit of stubble, which was a little prickly.
"Didn't shave?"
Xiang Jintian's face flushed slightly. He was so busy that he sometimes went days without shaving, and he had only shaved last night...
Upon hearing the news of her arrival today, he had rushed over while A Bai was occupied.
He hadn't dressed up specially; his attire was no different from usual.
"Xixi..." He gently took her hand and kissed her fingertips.
The man's palm was broad, almost encompassing her entire hand. His palm was neither too hot nor too cold, but warm and exuding a strong sense of security.
"Jintian, I missed you a little."
Xu Qian tilted her head, looking at him without blinking.
It had been a very, very long time since she had been able to look at him so openly.
Xiang Jintian pursed his lips. He knew very well what attracted Xu Qian to him the most.
First, his looks.
Second, his person.
"Really?"
Xu Qian nodded, missing his face, his body, and him.
When he wasn't around, she didn't miss him as much, but now that he was here, she felt a little like a famished wolf pouncing.
Xiang Jintian unfastened the top button of his collar with one hand, revealing a sliver of his tanned skin to dissipate heat...
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, finding it even more alluring.
Unfortunately, she was too full.
"How have you been at the Tang base?"
The young girl pulled his arm and hugged it, saying lightly, "Very well, how could I be otherwise?"
Xiang Jintian frowned, fearing she was putting on a brave face.
"Tang Zhishen doesn't seem easy to get along with..."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Then you've guessed wrong. He's very gentle and easy to get along with."
Xiang Jintian's chest ached. He shouldn't have asked so many questions.
Knowing she was involved with many men, he still couldn't help but think about it, couldn't help but ask.
Xu Qian stroked his handsome face and said softly, "Jintian, you don't need to overthink it. My being with any man isn't because of love. Love or not, liking or not, it truly doesn't matter to me."
"What matters most is ending this damned apocalypse! Killing all those who deserve to be killed!"
Xiang Jintian lowered his gaze, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice, "You don't like me or A Bai?"
He didn't believe it; he truly didn't believe it.
Whether one liked or loved someone, the other person could usually sense it. He could feel that Xu Qian had genuinely liked him before.
Now, he was a bit lost when it came to her...
Xu Qian sighed. Why did men always ask her this question?
She had only one answer.
"Jintian, help me."
Xiang Jintian blinked. "Help with what?"
"Yes, Miss Xixi, is there anything 'we' can help with?"
With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open.
The silver-haired man walked in with his hands in his pockets, his posture languid, completely unlike the leader of a base.
Only Xiang Jintian knew that A Bai would rarely show his true nature in front of familiar people.
Seeing him barge in, Xu Qian didn't let go of Xiang Jintian's arm. Instead, she leaned her head on it, incredibly intimate.
Xiang Jintian felt a bit awkward, his whole body stiffening.
He didn't want to provoke him and rarely mentioned Xu Qian in front of him.
Mei Yue Bai's eyes were slightly red. He struggled to control himself from pulling her away, from pulling her away.
Didn't he already know about their affairs?
He could endure it!
He could endure it!
No! He couldn't endure it!
"A Bai, sit down, we can talk slowly."
Mei Yue Bai felt a fire burning within him, making him extremely uncomfortable.
He forced himself to sit at the tea table, gritting his teeth, "Speak."
