Chapter 258
As she glanced up, she could see him wrapped tightly in his crisp military uniform, his broad chest prominent, his neck long and his Adam’s apple striking. There was a forbidden allure about him, as if his very presence oozed a restrained desire that beckoned to be unleashed.
[Here it is, the third time calling Xantheal Has Mr. Lockwood ever called anyone else but Xanthea since he appeared? No way he’s not into her!)
[Oh my gosh–I’m screamping, did you guys see that? The way Mr. Lockwood looks at Xanthea is so tender, a million times more tender than my boyfriend looks at me!]
[Tying her hair? What is this, a sweet soap opera scene? Mr. Lockwood, are you sure you’re just correcting her appearance and not trying to get touchy–feely?)
[Am I the only one who thinks Mr. Lockwood isn’t just supervising Xanthea, but actually trying to shade her from the sun? This guy with his prickly exterior but caring actions, I’m totally in love!!]
[Oh, you two, stop standing together! Your combined beauty feels like witnessing angels descending from heaven!]
[Help! I’m shipping them so hard! Didn’t think I’d find a ship in a reality show, and it’s so sweet–cold and domineering instructor x gorgeous and delicate starlet. I hereby name this ship–Oranthea!]
In the group, Olivia watched with a fiery jealousy as Orion tied Xanthea’s hair.
If only Xanthea wasn’t here, she would be the one getting her hair tied!
Unfortunately, Xanthea’s natural beauty had captivated Mr. Lockwood’s attention completely, making Olivia practically invisible. She’d have to think of something else…
her hair?
Why was he taking so long to tie he
Facing the temptation of his uniform up close was too much,
she wanted to.
Hug him, kiss him, touch his Adam’s apple, and then slowly unbutton his uniform…
While Xanthea was lost in these inappropriate daydreams, someone else made a move first.
“Ooh, I feel dizzy”
Suddenly, Olivia clutched her temple as if the sun had overwhelmed her, her body tilting straight towards Orion.
Xanthea’s eyes widened in alarm.
She was afraid that Olivia would crash into Orion’s arms, and equally afraid that if she missed, the fall would be disastrous.
But in that split second, there was no time to ponder and inevitably, Orion caught… her?
With a loud “thud.” Olivia hit the ground, which startled Jonathan and William, who rushed over to check on her.
“Olivia? Olivia? Are you alright? Can you stand?”
“277”
Nearby, Xanthea, who had been abruptly caught by Orion, sprang out of his arms like a coiled spring, her face full of confusion. “Did you grab the wrong person? Why are you holding me?”
“I was afraid she’d bump into you”
Xanthea hadn’t expected this explanation….
In such a critical moment, anyone’s first reaction would be to catch Olivia, right? But he instinctively protected her instead.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or feel touched, just relieved that the live camera had moved to Olivia at that moment, missing the scene of him holding her.
Otherwise, her purpose in joining Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night to tough it out and gain followers could turn into a love scandal and she would lose her fans!
