Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 2205

“There is another patient in the afternoon. It will probably take about two hours. I have nothing else after that.” Jiang Yao was not required to complete the remaining tasks. Those doctors could also do it well. She could stay in the ward and rest.

“Old Master Liang informed me that you like soup, so I brought some for you. Eat it while it is still hot, ” Master Cheng said, pointing to the lunch box.

Master Cheng noticed Jiang Yao staring at Lu Xingzhi after he said that. 1–1e reasoned that she might have something to say to Lu Xingzhi, so he left without lingering.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at Jiang Yao as soon as Master Cheng left. He touched the tip of his nose and shifted his gaze from her face to her clothes, then to her pocket.

“What are you looking at?” Despite knowing the answer, Jiang Yao still asked.

“Nothing.” Lu Xingzhi responded quickly. He would never say he was looking for the will that the little boy had given Jiang Yao.

Lu Xingzhi reasoned that Jiang Yao had been busy all morning and had not had time to read it yet.

Later, he would entice her to nap before stealing the letter from her pocket to burn it.

Jiang Yao could tell by the look in his eyes that he was thinking about something and only pretending to be unaware. She sat beside him and ate.

He must have Imovvn that the little boy had given her the letter. 1–1e was trying to determine if she had read it.

Lu Xingzhi was in a good mood. He could not stay still because he had been lying in bed for a long time. He insisted on watching Jiang Yao eat.

His stare irritated Jiang Yao. Before lowering her head to eat, she turned her head away from him.

Lu Xingzhi was dumbfounded.

She had given him the cold shoulder for no reason at all. If he could, he would have jumped up and pulled her back.

However, based on Jiang Yao’s demeanor, Lu Xingzhi deduced that she had read the letter.

Lu Xingzhi was convinced that he would perish when he wrote the letter. However, as he wrote it, he did not want to die in that manner. So, there were many things that he did not write in the letter.

He used them to motivate himself. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

In his mind, he kept repeating what Jiang Yao said.

He remembered Jiang Yao telling him that if he went on a mission, even if he lost his limbs, he had to return to her alive. She would heal him.

Lu Xingzhi thought that he had to return to see her.

In fact, near the end of the letter, he began to faint, but he did not let go of the pen in his hand.

“Did you get the letter?” Lu Xingzhi reached out from under the blanket and kicked Jiang Yao softly in the back. “Please turn around. Let’s talk while you eat..”
Her laughter sounded like spring. Lu Xingzhi’s heart, on the other hand, was as cold as winter.

“Yaoyao,” Lu Xingzhi said to Jiang Yao. Unfortunately, no one heard him.

Lu Xingzhi appeared to be clenching his teeth. When the laughter died down, he exclaimed, “Argh!” The laughter stopped, and someone gasped. Everyone in the ward could hear his agonizing cries.

Jiang Yao almost ran over, her steps trembling. When she noticed Lu Xingzhi clutching his waist, she rushed over to him and scolded him harshly, “Did you hurt yourself? Didn’t I warn you not to move? Can’t you listen to what I said? Don’t you understand pain? Why do you keep moving around? Do you want to lose more blood?”

Lu Xingzhi was so angry with Jiang Yao that he had forgotten what he wanted.

He had known Jiang Yao for a long time, and that was the first time Jiang Yao had been so hostile to him.

However, Lu Xingzhi’s heart softened when he saw her reddened eyes, and he apologized. “I am sorry, I was pretending.”

Jiang Yao’s hand, which was checking on his injuries, stopped moving immediately. She was so enraged that her heart pounded for a long time before she managed not to press down on his wound and make him feel the pain.

She was also worried. How could she have forgotten about Lu Xingzhi’s personality?

He would remain quiet even if he were in pain.

He could grit his teeth and not say anything, just like that day on the phone when he was severely beaten. What did that sliver of pain he unintentionally drew mean for him?

If he shouted until everyone knew, he must have done so on purpose for her to hear.

“Yaoyao.” Lu Xingzhi sighed and reached out to wipe Jiang Yao’s tears. Then he reached out and hugged Jiang Yao gently. “I’m sorry.”

That apology was different from the one he had just said.

“Why are you sorry? Aren’t you proud, seeing how sad I am?” Jiang Yao pursed her lips, but she could not bear the thought of pushing him away.

“Give me the letter. Let’s pretend that I didn’t write it.” Lu Xingzhi magically found the letter Jiang Yao had hidden in her pocket.

“You!” He had taken it out of her pocket!
