Chapter 1653: Is the Sunset in the Desert Kingdom Beautiful?

In Xu Zhenyu’s heart, there was indeed something that did not feel good, but even if he lost, he could not lose in front of Ninth Si, he could not show any weakness.

Moreover, this was exactly the case.

This mission was very important. Even the military ministries of several countries had an unusual headache about it. They came to the east, and both the military ministries and the joint headquarters provided them with very little mission information. The task difficulty had increased tremendously, reaching the SS level.

The joining of Ninth Si did provide them with a lot of help and convenience.

From the standpoint of the country, the nation, and the task itself, Ninth Si’s intervention was indeed the best result. From a private standpoint, Wen Xinya was worried about him and thus let Ninth Si step in this task for him. There was indeed no loss for him.

Si Yiyan looked at him quietly for a while. “You’re right!”

Under the dim light, his pale face was covered by the mist, full of unknown danger and mystery.

It was him who was restless and worried.

Otherwise, he would not appear in the east.

Xu Zhenyu laughed loudly. “So, I’m ready to take advantage of the situation anytime, anywhere, and snatch Wen Xinya from you.”

After speaking, he went to the next room while biting his cigarette butt.

It was not difficult to see that he was proud of this moment.

Si Yiyan looked indifferent and slowly walked out of the basement. The dilapidated building and gray concrete wall were unfurnished. He dialed Wen Xinya’s number.

“What are you doing?” Counting the days, he had been to the east for more than a month. Ever since he got together with Wen Xinya, he had never been separated from her for such a long time.

The two people were so far apart, across countries, across oceans, across deserts.

“Thinking of what you might be doing now!” Wen Xinya’s eyes fell onto the desk with cluttered materials—the learning materials for jewelry design compiled by Ji Shihan for her.

However, she did not have the heart to learn.

As long as she was quiet, she could not help thinking, what was Si Yiyan doing now? Was he safe? Had he been injured?

“I’m watching the sunset.” Si Yiyan crossed through a window punched out of the cement gray wall, and the sunlight at dusk enthusiastically shone in on him with a sense of solemnity and sacredness.

In this desert country, even in the city, there were no high-rise buildings. Standing at a high place, you could see all the low-rise buildings with characteristics of the desert country, as well as the high and wide sky.

“Is the sunset in a desert country beautiful?”

Wen Xinya suddenly thought of how she and Si Yiyan had been together for so long. Yet, they had never seen the sunrise and sunset together. She couldn’t help feeling regretful and sad.

A couple who did not watch the sunrise and sunset together could not really be called a couple at all.

“It’s very beautiful. The desert in the distance is plated with a layer of golden splendor, countless sand and stones, wrinkles and undulations, high and low sand waves that extend to the horizon, just like waves rising above the ocean.

“The sand dunes in the desert have distinct layers, the ridges of the hills are smooth. Above the tops of the sandy mountains, the sunrise in the desert is magnificent, and the sunset is stained with sand, like a burning flame.”

Si Yiyan described the desert country to her, the most prestigious sunset. Her eyes penetrated the sunlight at dusk, looking far into the distance. The ink stained her eyes, reflecting the desert country, the raging sun, a magnificent and gorgeous sight.

“The Creator is fair. Although he did not give a beautiful landscape to the desert country, he gave them a warm and spectacular sunset.”

Wen Xinya took out color pencils and drawing paper, imagining the picture described by Si Yiyan, and on the painting paper, she painted the most beautiful desert sunset she could imagine.

Si Yiyan was silent!

Through the silent cell phone, he seemed to only hear the rustling sounds from her side.

He was no stranger to this sound. It was the sound of a brush rubbing on drawing paper. Every time when Wen Xinya designed a new jewelry piece, she would hold a brush and draw her inspiration on paper.

“Rustling—”

The sounds were sometimes heavy, sometimes light, sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp—

There was no such thing as embarrassing and awkward silence between them, it was just peaceful silence!

“Wen Xinya, you better remember, I won’t give anyone a chance to take you away from me.” Si Yiyan broke the silence.

The surrounding sky had begun to be attacked by darkness. On the highest sand dunes in the distance, the Sun emitted the last warm, orange-red light, reflecting on the yellow sand, dyeing the desert in the distance red.

What stunning beauty.

Wen Xinya’s pen stopped, then continued to draw. “No one can drive me away from you except yourself!”

The Sun was shining like blood, and the desert was stained with blood!

Gorgeous and magnificent just like blood, such a shocking beauty. But under her pen all of it became the background behind his figure which was dazzling under the sand, floating in the desert quietly like a God. The magnificent scenery was nothing compared to his magnificence.

“There is a very peculiar ethnic group. Men often go out for business in order to support their wives and children. It is very dangerous for them to go for business. The wife, missing her husband, prays for her husband to return safely using her own hair to embroider the beautiful peace symbol. When her husband returns, she will sew it into her husband’s clothes for him to wear it. Feeling the silk, the husband will miss his wife, and he will return safely the next time.”

As Si Yiyan looked at the sky in the distance, the Sun fell, and the orange red at the edge of the sky sank. The darkness was like a giant beast, which engulfed the last glory of the desert little by little.

Wen Xinya’s heart could not help but tremble, and the apex of her heart was warm. “A very romantic custom.”

“If you can’t reach me all of a sudden, use a piece of your hair every day to embroider a beautiful symbol of peace. When the peace symbol is completed, it will be the day of my return.”

After that, Si Yiyan hung up the phone.

On the other side of the phone, Wen Xinya held the mobile phone sitting quietly at the desk, watching the magnificent desert scenery under her pen.

Her ears seemed to echo his words: “When the peace symbol is completed, it will be the day of my return.”

Suddenly, she reached out and gently pulled a hair off her head.

The tingling numbness pervaded her whole body from the scalp. The numb feeling invaded her limbs and she trembled, all the way to the apex of her heart. Finally, Wen Xinya realized this was the feeling of missing someone.

Not painful!

However, it was a part of the body!

Love is inexhaustible!

Feelings of love!

Love!

Yearning!
