Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

As Zoya kicked open the command center door, all eyes turned to her.

After a while, those people's gazes fell on Mai Xiaowen, who was a step behind Zoya, and their pupils shrank sharply.

The reason is simple: Mai Xiaowen wasn't wearing a mask!

It's important to know that very few people have actually seen Mai Xiaowen's face. In public areas, Mai Xiaowen is always a cool and aloof goddess wearing a mask, someone to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.

And now, Mai Xiaowen has actually taken off her mask in a public area.

How could they not be shocked? Moreover, after a moment of scrutiny, they discovered that Mai Xiaowen was even wearing light makeup.

Has the sun risen in the west?

What's wrong with Mai Xiaowen?

"Hmph, I told you, these stinky men would definitely be captivated by your beauty." Zoya flicked her finger to her nose, beaming with pride.

"Um, Xiaomai, what's wrong with you...?" Weilong said awkwardly, his eyes fixed on Mai Xiaowen.

He already liked Mai Xiaowen, and seeing her so stunning naturally made his heart race and his mouth dry.

He even had the thought: Maybe the wheat was for my makeup?

If Zoya knew what he was thinking, she would definitely pat Dragon on the shoulder and say with a flourish, "Go back to Gotham, Batman won't bother you anymore."

Red Wolf glanced at Mai Xiaowen, a flash of amazement in his eyes, but it was merely an appreciation of beauty. He preferred the cute, innocent type; Mai Xiaowen's aloof, senior-sister style wasn't his cup of tea. If Butterfly had appeared here in a playful manner, perhaps he would have been moved.

Jifeng stared intently at Mai Xiaowen, licking his lips. Luna noticed this and twitched her lips.

The bee doctor glanced up at Mai Xiaowen, then quickly looked down, seemingly unconcerned. Mai Xiaowen was like a big sister to him; how could a junior dare to have designs on his boss?

The most unassuming person here is Silverwing, who is quite old. As a middle-aged man, he is more concerned about the affairs of the Dragon Kingdom, and he is no longer interested in the romance between young people.

The most unassuming Silverwing, but the most tense, without a doubt, is Bai Kang.

He frowned and pulled everyone to his side.

He stayed behind everyone else, quietly observing Mai Xiaowen.

Among the men here, he had the most interaction and the closest relationship with Mai Xiaowen, so whether or not he wore makeup didn't really make much of a difference.

In terms of beauty, Mai Xiaowen is already a perfect score in his eyes. Even with makeup, she is still a perfect score, except that her hair is neater.

What made him nervous at this moment was Mai Xiaowen's condition.

After entering the meeting room, Mai Xiaowen always had a smile on her face, was very friendly to everyone, and responded to everyone's greetings.

This feeling is just...so normal.

To others, Mai Xiaowen is still the same Mai Xiaowen, except that she wasn't wearing a mask.

But with Bai Kang, he only felt a chill run down his spine.

Because he had just crawled out of the jaws of death half an hour earlier!

Just half an hour ago, Mai Xiaowen was a complete lunatic! But now she's a beautiful lunatic straddling him, ready to kill him!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Bai Kang couldn't believe that Mai Xiaowen had accepted that he was Said so quickly.

What gives me the right to break free?

Is Mai Xiaowen comforting herself by staying alone in the lounge?

Are you kidding me? If self-comfort really worked, there wouldn't be so many people with depression in the world.

Self-reconciliation requires a long period of reflection, allowing time to slowly erode that pain.

Half an hour is definitely not enough for Mai Xiaowen to recover from that breakdown.

The calmer the seas, the bigger the storms that may rage.

"Why does it feel a little like death..." Bai Kang suddenly had this thought.

He swallowed hard, suppressing his fear, and tried to find an excuse to leave temporarily.

His intuition told him that he might need to find a place to hide for a while, otherwise the consequences would be dire.

However, he had only taken half a step back when Mai Xiaowen, as if guided by satellite, precisely pierced through everyone and landed on him.

That gaze seemed so casual, seemingly without any hidden meaning.

However, Bai Kang seemed to read three words in that gaze...

To walk is to die.

Locked onto by that gaze, the young man immediately stood at attention and shrank back half a step.

He twitched his lips, stood obediently in place, and gave an honest smile.

He's just glad that Mai Xiaowen didn't let him go.

However, his relief was quickly and ruthlessly shattered by a certain young lady.

"Hey, Xiaokangzi, what are you doing? Why are you so far away from Xiaomai? Please, she's your girlfriend!"

Didn't you realize that Wheat did your makeup especially for you? Come over here right now.

Honestly, I always have to be the one to provide the assists at crucial moments.

Immediately, all eyes shifted from Mai Xiaowen to Bai Kang.

Of course, Bai Kang could have ignored everyone else's gaze, but the problem was that Mai Xiaowen made no attempt to hide it, staring at him with a half-smile, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

"Young Miss! Are you helping me out? You're clearly ruining me!" Bai Kang roared inwardly, mentally crushing Zoya a dozen times over.

He forced a smile and chuckled dryly, "Hehe, I'm just captivated by wheat, so I'm coming right now."

As he spoke, he walked to Mai Xiaowen's side with a tearful expression, thoughtfully pulled out a chair for her, and also pulled one out for Zoya.

Mai Xiaowen seemed quite pleased with Bai Kang's initiative. With a faint smile on her lips, she sat down calmly, displaying a queen-like demeanor.

Bai Kang sat obediently next to Mai Xiaowen.

The meeting continued.

Silverwing was at the forefront, discussing matters related to cooperation with the space base.

But not many people paid attention to this side.

The bee doctor looked curiously at Bai Kang and Mai Xiaowen. His super intelligence told him that something must have happened between the two of them.

Zoya seemed to be listening attentively, but in reality, she had already pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the next piece of gossip.

Mai Xiaowen stopped acting altogether, resting her chin on her hand and staring intently at Bai Kang with her beautiful eyes, as if admiring the pet that was playing with her.

And Bai Kang?

That would be fantastic.

He was like an ostrich with its neck tucked in, not daring to meet Mai Xiaowen's blatant gaze, his heart pounding wildly.

He swore that he was never as nervous as he was now, not even when he had sex with Die.

He was genuinely afraid that Mai Xiaowen would suddenly throw a knife at him and stab him in the forehead.

Just when Bai Kang was at his wit's end, a small, cool hand suddenly grasped his palm.

The sudden movement startled Bai Kang, who looked up and met Mai Xiaowen's deep eyes.

Are you scared?

Mai Xiaowen parted her red lips slightly, as if teasing.

"How, how could this be?" Bai Kang felt like he was half dead. Xiao Mai was the hunter with a shotgun, and he was the prey waiting to be caught.

"But..." Mai Xiaowen drawled, then suddenly leaned down, released Bai Kang's hand, and placed her palm directly on Bai Kang's chest.

He moved closer to Bai Kang, exhaling soft, warm breath.

"Your heart is beating very fast."

I examine myself three times a day: urging updates, bookshelf, and generating electricity.

There will be an extra chapter at midnight. Hint: You can go to sleep first.
