Can't Take My Eyes Off You

It was too hot in the summer, and Lu Xingzhi was afraid that the ice cream would melt, so he ran back to Jiang Yao. When he was in front of her, he stuffed the ice cream into her hands. "Eat it quickly, or it will melt."

Jiang Yao smiled so widely that her eyes curled into crescent moons. She took a bite. The ice cream melted in her mouth and instantly swept the sultry summer heat and worries away.

"Why did you buy me ice cream?" Jiang Yao handed the ice cream to Lu Xingzhi. "Do you want some?"

Lu Xingzhi had no interest in girly food, but when he saw her small teeth marks on the ice cream, he changed his mind and lowered his head to take a bite of where she had bitten.

The milk-flavored ice cream was very milky. It was too greasy for Lu Xingzhi, but it was incredibly fragrant for Jiang Yao, who liked that flavor.

Lu Xingzhi said, "You can tell me if you want to eat it in the future, but you're not allowed to eat it secretly during the winter when I'm not here. It's hot in the summer, but you can only eat one a day. Eating too many popsicles is not good for your health."

"I will not eat it in the winter," Jiang Yao said, but Lu Xingzhi chuckled. Clearly, he did not believe her.

Jiang Yao immediately thought of what Xiao Gao and Old Yang had told her during the drill. Lu Xingzhi already knew what she had written in the paper crane, so he must have learned that she had secretly eaten a popsicle the previous winter, right?

She still remembered the first time Lu Xingzhi bought her an ice cream. It was around the same time that year. She had received her acceptance letter last summer, and he had taken her back to her village on his bicycle.

Since she was sweating profusely in the back seat of the bicycle, he took her to the snack bar and got her some ice cream. He did not ask which one she wanted, but he got her favorite all the same.

At that time, Jiang Yao thought it was a coincidence.

Later, she found out that he knew her better than she had expected.

When they got home, Lu Xingzhi had boiled water for her shower because she was sweaty. After Jiang Yao went to take a shower, he took Jiang Yao's phone and called Big Ke.

At that time, Big Ke and Ah Lu must have been in the city. He also needed to know some things about her during his closed-door training.

When Big Ke received the call from Jiang Yao's phone, he heard Lu Xingzhi's voice over the phone. He was stunned for a few seconds before he snapped back to her senses. "Director Jiang is with Young Master Lu now?"

"Yes, she's with me in the army base," Lu Xingzhi explained briefly. Then, he asked, "Has anything happened during this period?"

He had wanted to know if Old Madam Lin had gone to harass Jiang Yao.

When Big Ke heard that question, he said, "Directory Jiang encountered so many problems that Ah Lu and I were annoyed on her behalf. Everything that you expected to happen had happened. YN's Master Sen and Master Zhu sent people to the country. They orchestrated a situation with your second uncle to force the Divine Doctor to appear. There was even a death. Fortunately, your family is fine. Finally, Director Jiang was so angry that she told the public that the Divine Doctor had passed away."

"The Divine Doctor has passed away?" Was the Divine Doctor not his wife?

Lu Xingzhi had predicted that of the occurrences, so he made a lot of arrangements in advance in case she got hurt. However, it did not involve the Divine Doctor's death.
