Lu Xiao wiped the water off his face and took a slight breath before asking her, "What's wrong?"
Though he asked, his arms were already encircling her.
Wen Xian wrapped her arms around his neck, burying herself in the nape of his neck and murmuring,
"Lu Xiao, if one day I end up like that sea turtle, injured or unable to walk and lose my freedom, will you still stay with me...?"
Deep down, she knew the answer.
Although Lu Xiao didn't often express his love in words, he always showed it through his actions.
Still, she inexplicably longed to hear those words from his lips.
Hearing this, Lu Xiao indeed sighed softly.
But he didn't scold her; instead, he gently stroked her wet hair and said in a low yet gentle voice,
"Wen Xian, don't think about things that don't exist. I'll say just one thing... Nothing, apart from my death, will ever separate me from you in this lifetime..."
At these words, Wen Xian's heart trembled slightly again.
