A black sandstorm was blowing outside the house. Judging from the situation, it would not stop for a few days.
Due to the constant sandstorm, the entrance of the cave needed to be guarded at all times.
Everyone took turns to keep watch, and it was Xue Liyang's turn today.
Although Xue Liyang was a woman, her physique was surprisingly good.
After running for a whole day, she didn't seem to be sleepy.
Lu Chen could not fall asleep either. The dim moonlight shone through the gap in the cave and shone three inches into the cave.
He stood up, bent over, and sat down beside Xue Liyang.
In this position, the moonlight allowed them to look at each other and feel the wind blowing gently.
"Hey, looking at your frown, are you thinking about something?”
Lu Chen looked at Xue Liyang and said.
Xue Liyang looked at the night sky covered in black sand through the hole with a solemn expression.
"Lu Chen, do you think we can find the Ancient City of Jingjue?”
"Not only did we not find any traces of the ancient ruins along the way, but we were also trapped here by the sandstorm.”
In this silent night, this woman who looked strong on the outside was actually under a lot of pressure.
The Ancient City of Jingjue existed in the ancient book and in her dream. Whether this place really existed was another matter altogether.
She was the main person in charge of bringing everyone to the Black Desert. Now that everyone was in danger, she also had a lot of responsibility.
She expressed her inner worries and thoughts. She had never dared to say it in the team.
She was afraid that it would affect the morale of the team, but in front of Lu Chen, she could release this " pressure."
"Yes, of course. With me leading the way and Miss Xue's luck, we will definitely find the ancient city.”
While Lu Chen comforted her, he did not forget to tease her.
Xue Liyang smiled lightly." I hope so. But to be honest, Lu Chen, you know a lot of things. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do.”
"Don't worry, I'm here. I believe we'll definitely be able to avoid the sandstorm this time.”
Lu Chen smiled.
His calm tone gave off a sense of determination, as if this man was able to calm people down no matter what.
Her gentle smile was especially charming under the moonlight. Xue Liyang's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she finally revealed a gentle smile.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Xue Liyang let out a soft cry. She covered her right eye with both hands, and her face was filled with pain.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Chen asked worriedly.
"I'm fine... Sand, sand is in my eyes!"
Xue Liyang said in a hoarse voice. The black sand at the entrance of the cave had drifted into her eyes, but she could not get it out for a while.
Tears streamed down her face.
Xue Liyang's slightly anxious and somewhat clumsy actions…
Lu Chen stepped forward and grabbed Xue Liyang's wrist.
"Don't rub it with your hands, and don't blink.”
"This black sand is like a thin knife, cutting at my eyes without any restraint.
The more you rub it, the more it runs in."
Lu Chen said as he washed his fingers with the water in the water bag and supported Xue Liyang's eye bags.
Xue Li and Yang Hongtong's eyes sparkled with tears. Their pitiful appearance was lovable.
Although it was uncomfortable, she still trusted Lu Chen very much and handed it over to him without worry.
After opening his eye bags, Lu Chen found the location of the sand and moved his body closer.
His mouth was close to her eyes.
"Phew!" He took a deep breath!
Xue Liyang shrank back instinctively. She blinked her eyes and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was no longer in her eyes.
"No! The sand is coming out!"
She looked up with a happy smile on her face, but at this moment, she met Lu Chen's gaze.
Due to the sand blowing earlier, the two of them were now very close to each other, only a fist apart.
Under the faint moonlight, a handsome face was clearly visible.
She was so close that she could feel the restlessness brought by his steady exhalation.
At this moment, Lu Chen was also looking at her. Xue Liyang was barefaced. Her fair face had exquisite contours.
He would never let such a beauty off.
Their eyes met and the atmosphere was a little warm.| Xue Liyang turned her head shyly.
"Miss Xue, from this angle, you're really beautiful.”
Lu Chen did not hide the praise in his heart at all.
Even though Xue Liyang had been living abroad, she was still considered open-minded.
Lu Chen's sudden words made her blush and her heart race.
For a moment, he was at a loss and nodded slightly."Thank you…" It's getting late. You should rest early. You still have to be on duty at night.”
Lu Chen nodded with a smile on his face.”
He knew that he couldn't rush things, especially when it came to picking up girls. He had to relax and take it slow to cultivate feelings.
On the way back, Xue Liyang turned around slightly and could not help but stare at Lu Chen's figure.
When Lu Chen returned to his seat and was about to look at her again, Xue Liyang quickly looked outside the cave.
He pretended as if nothing had happened.
This situation was also secretly observed by Huba Yi and Fatty Wang who were sleeping not far from the cave entrance.
"Old Hu, this Master Lu is too amazing. Why do I feel like such a hot girl is like a little girl in his hands?”
"The way you look at him is so intense. His eyes are filled with Master Lu.”
