After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late and autumn comes;
The bright moon shines among the pine trees, and the clear spring flows on the stone.
The bamboos are noisy, and the lotus leaves the fishing boat.
As long as the spring fragrance is gone, the prince can stay.
Wang Wei's Mountain Dwelling Autumn Dusk
He was a cowboy.
Although snow was falling outside the car window, Bai Keqiu could still see his strong legs and his branded denim hat. In fact, it was hard for her not to see him. He was so tall, standing by the roadside like a mountain. He wore a thick sheepskin jacket with a vertical collar and waved at her in the wind and snow.
She never picked up strangers, as that was a very dangerous thing to do. Just a few days ago, she saw some hitchhikers committing crimes on the spur of the moment. Especially since she was a single woman, it was easy for her to become a victim.
He wondered if this person was also a beast with a human face. She didn't even want to think about it. She was in the wilderness and had driven for who knows how many miles. She didn't even see a person, let alone passing by a house or encountering other vehicles. The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, making it more difficult to move forward, making her mood heavier.
The first time she saw his waving hand, she made a decision in her heart. She was willing to take the risk of letting a stranger get in the car because she had been alone for eight months, and that loneliness could not be compared to the problem at hand.
Bai Keqiu stopped her Audi sports car slowly.
The tall man had already strode over. He pulled the door handle and bent down to look inside the car. He knocked on the window impatiently and pointed at the lock.
Bai Keqiu took a deep breath and hesitated for the last second. Looking at the man covered in snowflakes up close, he seemed even more wild and dangerous. She thought of all the terrible consequences and forced herself to forget it, because she had to open the door. It was snowing heavily outside, and she had to let him get into the car just for the sake of humanity.
He didn't give her a thumbs up, but waved his hand for her to stop. It seemed that something must have happened to him for him to appear in the wilderness alone.
She reached out to pull open the passenger door lock and retreated to her seat. She watched as he opened the door, placed his bag under the chair, patted the snow off his body, and moved his tall body to sit beside her.
When she closed the car door, she felt a chill from him. She subconsciously pulled up the collar of her fur coat.
"I thought you changed your mind.”He muttered in a low voice, rubbed his hands, and approached the heater.
"Almost." Bai Keqiu said this on purpose to remind him that she was not completely unguarded. She could barely see his face and could not tell if his expression was friendly or not. However, based on her past bad experiences, it was hard for her to believe that she would let a stranger, especially a man, get into her car.
She sized him up and continued,"What are you doing here?" When she asked this question, Xie Xu immediately snorted in dissatisfaction. "What do you think?" The dissatisfaction and anger that had accumulated in his heart, when she asked this sensitive question, made his sense of humor, which he had always been proud of, unable to play out.
Who could still be humorous in such a harsh and almost fatal environment? Besides, he was just Boss Jun's little Left Protector. He wouldn't dare to disobey Boss Jun's orders.
Just thinking about how his boss's words had put him in a situation where he couldn't advance or retreat, he was really angry. However, when he thought about how he had carefully designed a gift for the head of Junmen Group, his bad mood suddenly improved a lot.
He couldn't help but smile smugly. Luckily, he had a super smart foresight and had thought of a way to deal with Boss Jun. He had felt a little guilty because Boss Jun had never had a sense of humor or pleasure.
Especially since he didn't think much of women, and Boss Jun hated the type of women from prestigious families. So, he felt a little guilty. Only Boss would have such feelings. If it was Qi Ya with that coffin face, he wouldn't have such feelings! Actually, guilt was not something that Xie Xu could describe in his dictionary.
However, looking at him now, he was originally a cute and handsome smiling tiger, but he had fallen to such a state. He had to leave his hometown, give up his life of enjoyment, and come here to suffer because of Boss Jun's words!
Humph! He didn't care if Boss Jun was dead or alive. He would just let him be angry. He had his own problems to deal with.
Bai Keqiu felt that this man was very strange. She had only asked him a question. What was he unhappy about? She didn't offend him. Could he be a psychopath? She shifted her body timidly and looked at him warily. Past experience had taught her to remain calm in the face of changes. Even if she was afraid, she had to pretend that nothing had happened.
"How…how am I supposed to answer you? I don't know you, why…Besides, if I knew, I wouldn't have asked you, right?”She kept telling herself to calm down, but her voice revealed the fear in her heart.
This naturally attracted Xie Xu's attention. He immediately took off his hat, revealing his handsome face and waved at her in a friendly manner. "Hey! Can you not say that? Although this is the first time we've met, I can assure you that I'm a good person.”He crossed his arms over his chest as if he was swearing to her.
Bai Keqiu didn't know if he was the good person he claimed to be, but she finally saw his face. He was a handsome man with healthy bronze skin that reminded people of sunshine. He had a distinctive chin, thin lips, two thick eyebrows, and a straight nose. However, she had always thought that Cowboy was gentle and casual, but this person gave him a different feeling.
Yes, the corners of his lips curled up, indicating that he was a man who often smiled, but smiling did not mean that he was gentle. From his smile, he looked like a frivolous and indecent man, which did not match his appearance. At the thought of this, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly, and a hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes. She shouldn't be surprised. Thinking about her current life of being on the run, wasn't it all thanks to this kind of person?
Besides, he probably wasn't from Canada. His eyes were as black as coal, as black as the locks of hair hanging from his forehead. As she looked at him, she could not help but rub her chest. She had seen many handsome men, but he gave her a strange feeling.
Was she not hurt enough by a man like him?
Seeing that she was staring at him for a long time without replying, Xie Xu revealed an exaggerated smile. "Miss, you can take a closer look. Have you ever met a super handsome man like me in your life? Besides, my handsome face makes people see that I'm a cute and kind man. Can't you tell?”He suddenly approached her and said.
Bai Keqiu looked at his comical expression. He even deliberately used his hands to support his cheeks, pretending to be cute. He even praised her shamelessly without blushing or panting. It was the first time in her life that such a grown man had such childish actions and shameless words.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself. How could she be so wrong just now? How could a boring man like him be the same type as that person?
Thinking of this, Bai Keqiu let down her guard. After eight months of not having such a relaxed and relaxed life with others, she suddenly had a desire, especially when she was facing his ridiculously handsome face. Anyway, the two of them only had a short interaction. Why not treat this encounter as a relaxed memory to accompany her in her lonely days in the future?
It was like an interlude in her life, and she wanted to know if the innocent and humorous Bai Keqiu was still in her body, or if she had disappeared with the cruel reality.
She didn't want to think about anything else. She just stared at the man who was winking at her before revealing a relaxed smile and teasing him."That's right! I can tell." Xie Xu couldn't help but smile smugly when he heard her agree.
" And you're right. You're indeed unprecedented…" Bai Keqiu suddenly paused.
Xie Xu blinked his eyes proudly, waiting for her next compliment. He knew that no matter where he went or what environment he was in, as long as a woman met him…Hmph! She still had to submit to his charm. Besides, a woman as beautiful as her was worthy of his charm.
However, it was unnecessary! He thought arrogantly. Like the super-masculine charm that he naturally exuded, any woman would automatically stick to him with just one look. He was very confident about this.
"What a super thick-skinned man." Bai Keqiu plucked up his courage and pulled his face. Although he looked like a ruffian and had a charming smile on his face, his eyes were very clear.
A man with such eyes would never be a bad person. Ever since that incident eight months ago, she had always remembered this sentence. Every day and every moment since then, she deeply regretted not remembering this sentence. This time, she would never make the same mistake again.
When Xie Xu heard this, he immediately looked up at her. He wanted to protest, but his sharp eyes caught the pain and determination that flashed across her eyes. That deep pain actually hurt his heart. Although he did not know what had happened to her, he wanted to erase her pain.
He didn't know where this thought came from. He had always liked to play around in the world. Although he knew how to enjoy himself, he had never thought of pleasing women. Even if he noticed their emotional ups and downs, he never cared or tried to comfort them.
This woman whom he had just met made him want to make her happy. He didn't want to think about the meaning of this thought. His face immediately fell, and he placed his hand on his chest. He said with a hurt expression,"I really didn't expect that your beautiful little mouth would actually say such heartless words. Oh! It really hurts my heart." He pretended to look at her sadly, then pointed at her and said teasingly,""You have to know that I'm not being thick-skinned, because I don't want to say this either, but the truth is on my face. It's just so handsome, so handsome, and so good-looking.”Bai Keqiu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw how good he was at singing. How could she be so unlucky? Encountering a super ruffian? Not only was this man in front of her different from that person, but he was also the type that she had never met before. Now, she was even more certain of this thought and deeply doubted that a man like him could still exist in this world.
Bai Keqiu felt that it was a stupid idea to let such a man test her sense of humor. Was her life not bad enough? This man was narcissistic and bored.
She changed her mind because she didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him, so she started the car and drove it back to the center of the road. The wind and snow hadn't weakened, so she carefully held the steering wheel and drove forward.
Xie Xu tilted his head slightly and watched her focus and drive carefully. He then looked at her carefully and realized that she was not just beautiful. Her exquisite facial features were simply beautiful.
He could see that her face was already showing an exhausted expression, especially those charming crystal eyes. There were obvious dark circles around her eyes, and his heart inexplicably ached. "You still haven't told me your name.”Bai Keqiu subconsciously raised his guard against his question. "Why don't you introduce yourself first?" Xie Xu noticed the tension and uneasiness in her words. What could have caused her to become so unlovable? He didn't care about her vigilance. He smiled casually and looked like he didn't care.
He introduced himself generously." My name is Xie Xu. I'm from Taiwan. I'm 32 years old this year. I'm not married yet, nor do I have a girlfriend. I'm 185 meters tall…" Suddenly, his words were interrupted by her sharp voice.
"Stop!" Bai Keqiu suddenly felt a headache coming on." Just tell me your name. I don't want to know anything else."”Xie Xu only glanced at her before continuing,""Courtesy should be reciprocated. What about you?" "Bai Keqiu." As soon as she said her name, she immediately asked,"You still haven't told me why you're trapped in such a place.”Xie Xu snorted." Because I got lost and fell asleep while driving. The car hit a tree and got stuck. The weather is so bad, so…" He shrugged helplessly.
"How long did you stay in the snow?" Xie Xu moved his long legs and wanted to find a comfortable position, but her car was obviously not suitable for a tall person like him. He could only sigh helplessly and reply,"About an hour." "No cars passed by?" Xie Xu mumbled, half cursing and half laughing dryly.""Are you kidding me? Only a lunatic would drive out in such weather.”She had no choice. As for whether he was crazy or not, she did not know. "Where are you going?" Xie Xu understood the meaning in her eyes and just smiled." Head north to a ranch in Canada.”"You're a cowboy?" Xie Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at her." Why? I thought that my attire had explained everything.”This was the outfit he had specially prepared before coming here. Moreover, he had followed the advice of the experts from head to toe to dress himself up like this handsome and charming denim!
"Just because you dress like him doesn't mean you look like him.”There was a hint of pain in her tone.
Xie Xu still had a charming smile on his face, but his sharp gaze swept across her. "What's wrong? Your experience?" He reached out and brushed away the hair that had fallen by her cheek. When he felt its softness and smoothness, he wrapped and combed it without letting go.
Bai Keqiu's body stiffened. He suddenly felt that this man was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. His keen and careful observation skills were hidden under his casual appearance. "Take your hand away." She wanted to reprimand him, but she found that her voice was so weak.
Not only did Xie Xu pretend not to hear her, but he also deliberately stroked her head, her cheeks, and her hair. It seemed that he was getting more and more addicted to touching her, and there was no sign of him stopping.
Bai Keqiu was angry and helpless. She was angry at his shameless behavior, but she was helpless because she was busy driving and could not stop him at all.
Xie Xu seemed to understand that this situation was beneficial to him. He just smiled proudly and continued to move his hands because the touch of his hands really made him unable to put it down.
Bai Keqiu ignored his actions and did not want to talk to him. He just focused on driving.
Snow continued to fall, piling on the car, the road, and the surrounding scenery. Everything was a vast expanse of white, making it difficult to distinguish.
She drove very slowly, at a speed she thought was safe, but even so, her rear wheels slipped a few times. She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. A gust of cold wind blew in, and her hands were a little stiff.
Xie Xu stopped what he was doing and suddenly frowned. There was no hint of a joke in his words."Damned fashionable sports car. I think we're in big trouble.”The rear of the car was too slippery, making the atmosphere in the car suddenly dull. The snow seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. The windshield wipers were speeding up, but the windshield was never completely clear.
There was still no sign of human habitation along the way. What was worse was that the road conditions were getting worse and worse. The road was getting narrower and narrower. Those who did not know the situation would think that it was an industrial road in the forest.
She told herself that she had not gone the wrong way. To confirm her thoughts, she took out a map from the bag on the door.
Xie Xu snatched the map away." Drive carefully. I'll take a look."”Just as Bai Keqiu was about to retort, the car suddenly slid to the side of the road. She turned the steering wheel to stop it from going off course. After a short effort, the front of the car still hit a tree.
She stared ahead and said,"I think one of the tires is stuck. Let me try."”Suppressing her panic, she reversed the gear and stepped on the accelerator. She repeated it several times, but the situation did not improve. To make matters worse, after a while, her car stalled.
Xie Xu squeezed to her side and leaned over to look at the dashboard. He whistled and straightened up to look at her." You don't have to try anymore. Your car is out of gas."”"I've been looking for a gas station, but I can't find it.”Bai Keqiu finally revealed a helpless expression.
Xie Xu sighed helplessly. Forget it, who taught me to hitch a ride with you! However, it's only natural that you can't find it because you've gone the wrong way.”"Ah?" Bai Keqiu widened his eyes in shock." I thought we were on the main road.”
"Obviously not!" Xie Xu shook his head and pointed at a spot on the map." I got on the bus around here, but we're too far away from the road because of your turn.”
"I'm following the road. I'll turn if it turns.”
" Yeah, the road can even turn on its own…" Xie Xu stopped when he saw Bai Keqiu's increasingly dejected expression. He then pulled her into his arms. "Alright, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. There must be other ways to leave this place.”
" But I messed things up. Without gas, we couldn't walk at all. Moreover, we were on such a remote path. I…I couldn't do it well. I…"
"Alright, it's fine, it's fine." Xie Xu gently caressed her back and hugged her tightly in his arms. He comforted her and said,"Things aren't that pessimistic. Besides, there's still me!”Bai Keqiu looked up at him carefully." You…you don't blame me?”"How could that be? You were the one who gave me a lift. If it weren't for you, I might still be frozen by the roadside!”
"But I caused you to be trapped here.”Her frustration was obvious." Am I really such a failure in everything I do?”
"Alright, look on the bright side. If I hadn't gotten in the car, you would have been trapped here alone. Aren't you afraid?”Xie Xu comforted her in another way.
His words made Bai Keqiu flinch. Wasn't the reason why she asked him to get in the car because she was afraid that this would happen? "Then…what should we do now?" "The sky is getting dark. We can't go out and get lost in the snow. We can only be trapped in the car for the time being.”
"And then?" This time, Bai Keqiu was no longer as calm as usual. The change in the environment made her rely on this strange man who was hitchhiking. His embrace was so warm, making her feel safe and protected.
"Tomorrow morning, when there's light, I'll go out and ask for help. Now, let's find some things first and see if there's anything we need. Otherwise, we won't be able to see anything when the sky darkens.”His calmness and thoughtfulness made Bai Keqiu strangely calm down. She followed his instructions and put down the chair in front of her. She took out her luggage from the back seat and took out an afghan blanket and two coats." We should be able to use these, right?”Xie Xu took the things from her hands and grinned." That's right! Our biggest problem is keeping warm, and these are very useful.”He also placed his seat flat and took out all their clothes. He stuffed them into the window to prevent the temperature in the car from dropping even faster.
The two of them were busy for a while before Xie Xu heaved a sigh of relief and sat back. He said with satisfaction,"This should be enough." At this moment, it was already pitch black outside the car window. Bai Keqiu's vision was also gradually adapting to the darkness. She could vaguely see him. She saw him pull the blanket over the two of them and cover them with two coats. She tried to move herself to the most comfortable position to avoid having too intimate contact with him in this narrow seat.
However, in order to be comfortable, she could not avoid touching his body. If she did not want to touch him, she would have to hide in a corner, making it difficult for her to stretch out. Just as she kept changing her position, trying to find a comfortable position, she suddenly found herself being embraced by an extended arm into a warm embrace.
She raised her head in shock and looked into his smiling and bright eyes. Strangely, her heart could not help but beat. Looking at his handsome face at such a close distance made her face heat up.
"Tsk! Tsk! Look, this is not bad, right?”Xie Xu said proudly," I was just about to use each other's body temperature to warm myself up. I didn't expect your face to heat up so quickly. You're really fast!"”He looked at her carefully. Actually, she must have blushed so badly because she saw his handsome face at such a close distance and realized that he was unbelievably handsome. But of course, he couldn't tell her the truth. Otherwise, with her shy personality, wouldn't her face spit fire?
"You…let go of me." Bai Keqiu resisted. He was angry at his own reaction.
"Stop fooling around. Didn't I tell you? This was to keep each other warm! You have to know that the later it is, the lower the temperature will be. The sky has just darkened. If I go to sleep, can these two or three clothes protect me from the cold? Besides, I'm from the subtropics. It's really hard for me to adapt to such cold weather. You won't be so cruel to want me to freeze to death in a foreign land, right?”Xie Xu deliberately said in a pitiful tone and expression.
Bai Keqiu told herself that this man was a shameless hooligan who dared to say anything. She didn't need to pay attention to him at all, but when she met his childish pleading gaze, her heart softened. "Alright then!" Hearing her approval, Xie Xu immediately smiled as if he had gotten something. He rubbed against her body like a puppy.
"You're so nice, little baby. I won't let you regret it.”
"Regret?" Please, she only promised to use his body temperature to warm each other. She did not promise to marry him. What was there to regret? At the thought of this, she glared at him fiercely.
"I'm warning you. If you dare to try anything funny, you'll be the one regretting it!”
Xie Xu immediately protested,""Little baby, you're going too far. What kind of person am I, Xie Xu? A super sexy man like me who is so handsome and full of fatal attraction, what else does he need to think about? Moreover, I am a gentleman with a graceful bearing. How dare you call me a great pervert? I want you to apologize!”Bai Keqiu looked at him and shouted at her in agitation. He accused her with an indignant expression and even glared at her childishly. He looked like he was deeply insulted. She could not help but be stunned.
"Is it that serious?" Xie Xu almost couldn't help but smile when he saw her adorable expression of being stunned by him. Aiya! It was really too funny. Only she would be so silly to be deceived by him. If it were his brothers, they would not dump him! He didn't expect that those scaring tricks would come in handy here.
He might even be able to win her heart! This woman had piqued his interest. She looked strong but fragile, and she had delicate emotions. She had completely stirred up his heart. This was an emotion he had never felt before.
"Of course!" He nodded matter-of-factly." You've completely dealt a blow to my fragile and sensitive heart. I don't care. You have to compensate me.”His shameless tricks could be said to have been fully displayed to her. This was a special treatment that others did not have!
Seeing him like this, Bai Keqiu felt as if her head was hurting again. At this moment, she was filled with regret. Why did she let this scoundrel get into the car? He was simply asking for trouble! "Alright, I take back that sentence." "So that's it?" Humph! How could it be that simple? He was a smiling tiger! He would eat anything but suffer no losses. "Don't even think about it! Since it's your little mouth that caused this trouble, then use your little mouth to kiss me, and I'll forgive you.”Bai Keqiu was flabbergasted." You scoundrel! " Don't think that I'll kiss you. I…" Before she could finish her words, his lips covered her small mouth.
His lips were pressed against hers, and the tip of his tongue entered her open mouth without hesitation. Like a snake, he searched and twirled in her mouth, playing with her small tongue.
" Hmm…" Her subconscious voice revealed her true feelings.
Under his stubborn enticement, her tongue gently stretched out and pressed against his lips and tongue. Then, they intertwined tightly and sucked deeply.
At this moment, Bai Keqiu was completely intoxicated by the sensory stimulation she had never experienced before.
Very naturally, she reached out and hooked her arms around his neck. She couldn't help but lean her body against him, hugging him tightly.
His kiss became more and more passionate, and his large hands caressed her body restlessly, seeking more pleasure.
Xie Xu had only wanted to ask for a kiss and stop her, but he had completely lost control when he touched her lips and tasted the sweetness in her mouth.
He had played with countless women, but none of them had filled him with desire like the woman in his arms. She had aroused all his sensual desires so quickly.
His desire for women had always been for his biological needs, so he watched coldly as the woman became addicted and lost her soul under his teasing, but he was completely unaffected. But now, the feeling she gave him was different.
He could no longer be satisfied with just kissing her. The thought of wanting her stimulated his body and mind, making him unable to extricate himself from this lust. He wanted her!
Desire gradually eroded his rationality, causing his movements to not only not stop, but also become even more violent. Because after confirming his feelings, he had to get her at all costs!
Originally, he had not understood why he was excited when he saw her. He had always liked tall and voluptuous women with curly, thick hair.
However, Bai Keqiu was not that type. She was petite and slim, and her hair only reached her shoulders. Moreover, she did not know how to please him at all. Why did he still have such a strong desire for her?#
