Feng Xiyan met Bai Hanyun's gaze and saw trust, dependence, and sincerity reflected in her eyes. After a brief silence, he reached out and wiped the oil from her red lips with his thumb.
Licking the oil from his thumb, he said calmly, "Mhm. I will protect you."
Meeting his intense gaze, Bai Hanyun's face flushed crimson. Her heart raced as she clenched her chopsticks and screamed inwardly, 'Oh my God! Is he trying to seduce me?!'
Seeing her reddened cheeks, Feng Xiyan chuckled in a good mood. He picked more side dishes for her and said softly, "You need to eat more."
Realizing that he was deliberately teasing her, Bai Hanyun pouted and continued eating while silently scolding him in her heart.
After finishing their lunch, most of which ended up in Feng Xiyan's stomach, the two of them returned to the commander's tent.
While Feng Xiyan was dealing with his work, Bai Hanyun stood by the sand table, studying the map.
As she examined the sand map, an idea suddenly came to her.
