Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 620

Chapter 620: Deep Concern

“Are you tired?” He walked over and tugged her blanket off. “Don’t bury yourself in this, you’ll suffocate.”

Startled by the sudden brightness, Jiang Yao opened her eyes only to see the naked Lu Xingzhi standing right in front of her. She said resignedly, “Put on your clothes after you’re done wiping, you pervert!”

Her reaction pleased Lu Xingzhi very much as he let out a low chuckle. Before putting on clean clothing, he went ahead and gave her flushed cheeks a little pinch.

Jiang Yao lay on the bed listening to the ruffling sounds of Lu Xingzhi dressing up and him suppressing his laughter and thought just how unfortunate she was.

It was quite frightening to see the usually serious Lu Xingzhi behaving like a brat in private.

Lu Yuqing returned after an hour. By the time she came, Lu Xingzhi was done cleaning up and was chatting with Jiang Yao.

“Have you had your dinner?” Lu Yuqing came in with a bag, containing freshly baked bread and milk, in her hands. Those were delivered from Nanjiang City today. Thinking that Lu Xingzhi probably did not eat well, she managed to grab a few food items.

After all, these were delivered by the Changkang Group, it made no sense for the owner’s husband, Lu Xingzhi, to go to bed hungry.

Moreover, he was needed at the frontline tomorrow. Without having enough food, he would not have sufficient energy to do his job well.

Jiang Yao tapped her forehead and said apologetically, “Right, how could I forget to ask if you’ve eaten! I suppose once you get busy, feeding yourself becomes the least of your worries.”

“I did.” Lu Xingzhi then proceeded to lift the blankets and said, “Don’t move. Rong County’s weather is very different from Nanjiang City’s, it gets quite chilly at night. With you getting in and out of bed like that, you will catch a cold!”

“I know you’ve eaten but you should eat a little more!” Jiang Yao gave Lu Xingzhi a little push.

After handing Lu Xingzhi the bag of food, Lu Yuqing went over to her bed. It was a crude and simple metal frame but fortunately the sheets were new. For Lu Yuqing, who was used to sleeping on soft mattresses, it was still manageable.

In just a while, Lu Xingzhi finished the food brought back by Lu Yuqing. Noticing Jiang Yao’s continuous glare, he burped in her direction, to which she smiled.

Lu Xingzhi was thrilled. She was concerned that he would starve himself!

Without electricity supply, there was nothing to illuminate the darkness at night other than candles. After tidying up, Lu Xingzhi blew out the candle and went to bed. He pulled Jiang Yao into her arms, gave her a little kiss on her lips and closed his eyes shut.

To say that the rules of the selection process was insane was an understatement. The elimination process was brutal. For the past week, to prevent sneak attacks by the other contenders, Lu Xingzhi did not sleep well.

Before the end of the selection, they received orders to conduct search and rescue efforts in Rong County. Finally, after multiple days of fighting fatigue, he got to sleep soundly for the very first time.

It was an added bonus with Jiang Yao in his arms.

Even though he wanted to talk to her, exhaustion soon got the better of him as he went into deep sleep the moment his head landed on the pillow.

Unlike other men, who snored loudly when they slept, Lu Xingzhi was very quiet, with only his steady breathing heard.
