Can't Take My Eyes Off You

It was midnight. Jiang Yao was still in a daze when she heard the phone ring. When she picked up the call, she heard Lu Xingzhi's voice and immediately lost her sleepiness.

"I'm in Nanjiang City. What about you? Are you on the way home, or have you already reached home?" Jiang Yao asked.

"I've already reached home."

Lu Xingzhi's voice was a little tired and hoarse. "I'll pick you up in Nanjiang City tomorrow morning. Then, I'll take you to see the great desert."

When she heard his voice, Jiang Yao immediately felt her heart ache. "Did you not rest well during the drill? Just like the drill with the field troops back then, you didn't rest for several nights in a row. Don't be in a hurry to come here. It's better to relax at home for a day before coming to Nanjiang city to pick me up."

"Okay."

Lu Xingzhi knew that Jiang Yao felt sorry for him, so he agreed. However, he thought it would be better to go to Nanjiang city earlier and see her.

"It's already very late. You should rest early." Even though Jiang Yao wanted to talk to him a little more, she could not suppress her worry for him and hung up the phone.

However, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao was not sleepy at all. She tossed and turned on the bed. Her movements were so loud that even Moe, who was lying on her pillow, rolled his eyes at her.

"No, I can't help it. I'd better go back to Luo City!" Jiang Yao rolled off the bed. Without saying a word, she picked Moe up and threw him out of the room. Then, she closed the door, quickly changed into her clothes, packed her luggage, and went to knock on Lu Yuqing's door.

Lu Yuqing was a light sleeper. Her room was next to Jiang Yao's, so she was already awake when Jiang Yao threw Moe out of the room and closed the door. Therefore, when Jiang Yao knocked on the door, she quickly opened it.

When she saw Jiang Yao and Lu Yuqing dressed neatly, she thought something had happened. "Are you going out? Is it urgent?"

"Xingzhi called me just now. He has already returned to the army base, so I want to rush home tonight." Jiang Yao pulled on Lu Yuqing's arm in embarrassment. "So, I can't stay here to accompany you. No matter how busy the company is, you have to rest. Don't work like you don't want to live."

"Fine! You've convinced me! How long have you and Lu Xingzhi been married? You're still acting like a person who has just fallen in love. You can't even wait for half a night. Can't you wait until daybreak to go back? Besides, is there a flight at this time?" Lu Yuqing could not bring herself to say those words when Jiang Yao acted coquettishly.

"I've checked. There's a train!" Jiang Yao giggled. "Don't worry. Big Ke and Ah Lu will come with me to take the train back to Luo City."

"Have you packed your things? Do you need my help?" Lu Yuqing nodded. There was nothing to worry about with Big Ke and Ah Lu following her.

Jiang Yao shook her head. "No need. I've already packed everything."

Lu Yuqing fell silent and then burst into laughter. "I know you're eager to go home. Hurry up and scram. I know you can't wait to go back because you don't want to deal with the company's matters every day."

"You are right! I'm just lazy."

Jiang Yao admitted that shamelessly. Then, she ran back to her room to get her packed luggage and went downstairs. Big Ke and Ah Lu were even faster than her. They were already waiting for her at the door.

The three people and a cat arrived at the train station at the right time. After buying the tickets, they boarded the train and rushed back to Luo City overnight. Big Ke and Ah Lu sent Jiang Yao to the army base's entrance. When the soldiers saw Jiang Yao, they were also shocked.
