Seeing the murderous looks in their eyes, Leng Fengmei had already made up her mind that no matter how outstanding a man was, she wouldn't want him!
"Thank you. You've helped me so much, so we're even now." He said, smiling at the other person.
Wang Xiao was suddenly stung by the words "no debts owed to either party." "Heh, Commander Leng hasn't forgotten his promise from last night, has he?"
Leng Fengmei looked at Zhou Zhan, "Did I say anything?"
Zhou Zhan looked at the woman's blank expression, feeling both angry and amused. "I don't remember."
Wang Xiao was so angry at their back-and-forth banter that he laughed. "Commander Leng promised—to let me stay by your side..."
Zhou Zhan and Jia Renyi's faces instantly turned icy cold!
Leng Fengmei stared at the man in shock, "Me? How could this be!"
"Young Master Wang had better make sure you say everything clearly, otherwise things could get messy if there's a misunderstanding!" Zhou Zhan warned threateningly.
“Commander Leng, Wang Xiao is willing to follow you and obey your orders!” He said, looking at the woman with a serious expression.
Leng Fengmei was also shocked. "You must be joking. Why would you give up being a proper young master from a noble family and come here to be a lowly soldier!"
“I’m not joking. Leng’s command skills are exceptional, and I admire him greatly. I want to stay by your side to gain experience,” Wang Xiao said earnestly. This was the explanation he had thought of all night.
"You don't know yet, do you? We're about to leave this place. Otherwise, I would have introduced you to the military, with your..."
Before Leng Fengmei could finish speaking, Wang Xiao said earnestly, "I'm not going. I just want to stay by your side!"
"Wang Xiao, don't push your luck!" Zhou Zhan was furious, his eyes blazing with rage.
Wang Xiao said with a mocking expression, "Commander Leng, if you can't make the decision, I don't want to make things difficult for you!"
Jia Renyi looked at the man and sneered, "I didn't expect that Young Master Wang would have the potential to be a white lotus. He's truly impressive!"
Wang Xiao's face flushed red. "I'm just stating the facts. Leng has outstanding command abilities. Why are you hindering her in everything?"
"Alright, stop arguing!" Leng Fengmei said helplessly.
"Wang Xiao, if you're really just looking to make a living, you're wasting your talents here!" She walked up to the man and looked at him seriously. "If you have other intentions, I'm even less worthy of your attention!"
Looking at the woman before him, Wang Xiao felt a pang of pain in his heart. Her calm face was completely genuine, and her eyes held only apology, devoid of any affection. "Could you give me a chance?"
Leng Fengmei sighed softly, "Have you ever thought about whether I would accept someone else tomorrow if I accepted you today? Is this the kind of relationship you want?"
Wang Xiao fell silent instantly, his eyes reddening. "What about them?" His voice trembled slightly.
Jia Renyi and Zhou Zhan watched the woman nervously, only to see her smile and glance at them. "I've made up my mind. In this life, it's only the two of them!" she said, then looked at the man in front of her. "If you can let go of this obsession, I might be missing a friend!"
"Friends...can friends stay by your side?" Wang Xiao looked at the woman, his eyes filled with pain.
“Yes!” Leng Fengmei nodded with a smile.
"Can my friend go see the cherry blossoms with you?" Wang Xiao asked again, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Sure!” Leng Fengmei replied with a frank smile.
"Can a friend see you whenever they want to think of you?" Wang Xiao's eyes burned with desire.
"I will prepare food and wine and welcome you with open arms!" Leng Fengmei's smile remained unchanged.
Wang Xiao pursed his lips slightly, "What if I want you to hug me?"
The little woman then hugged him. Wang Xiao looked at the two men with a guilty conscience. Although they were displeased, they didn't say anything.
Wang Xiao suddenly felt that being friends was quite nice. "I'm willing!!!" he said, hugging the woman tightly. "Thank you!" He was truly grateful to her for not hurting or belittling him when he was at his most vulnerable, but for constantly comforting him!
Suddenly, the gloom in my heart disappeared, replaced by a wider sky!
"Then will you still choose to stay by my side?" The woman's voice rang in my ears.
Wang Xiao then released his hands. "Didn't you say this place was to be under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Kingdom? I wanted to settle things at home before coming to see you."
"Yes! You're welcome anytime." The woman replied without hesitation.
Looking at the young woman, Wang Xiao noticed that she was not only exceptionally talented, but also possessed a kind and insightful heart.
