Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"I think we have some in the refrigerator at home," Lu Xingzhi said.

"I know. You bought them, and there are still some left. But I was too tired to get up and wash it, so I just went back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning and saw the grapes in the refrigerator, I didn't want to eat them anymore." Jiang Yao shrugged. It was a matter of time before she had the same craving again.

"You can wake me up next time."

Lu Xingzhi asked for hot water to sterilize the utensils before he placed them in front of her again. "Since we have them in the refrigerator, I can wash them for you next time."

Jiang Yao had wanted to do that last night, but when she saw Lu Xingzhi sleeping, she did not want to wake him up. He had not rested well for so long when he was out on missions. He had also used up his energy again the previous night. She could not bear to wake him up.

When Jiang Yao pursed her lips and did not answer, Lu Xingzhi knew what she was thinking. Her heart ached for him.

He chuckled and did not say anything else. He would remember to leave some washed fruits on the coffee table next time. She could eat them at any time, and she did not even have to wash them first.

Jiang Yao was not lying when she said she wanted to eat meat. Lu Xingzhi noticed her good appetite. Even though it was not dinner time, Jiang Yao ate her fair share. She ate in large mouthfuls with a look of satisfaction on her face. It was a delicious sight.

Lu Xingzhi guessed that it was probably because she had to rush for the morning flight. She had not eaten much because she did not want to feel uncomfortable on the plane. In addition, she had woken up very early in the morning. It had already been a few hours, so she must have been hungry.

If Jiang Yao were willing to eat more, Lu Xingzhi would eat with her. Her good appetite meant that she was in good health. If she ate more, she would be able to regain the weight that she had lost.

Jiang Yao had handed the preparation procedures to the hospital director. However, those were very trivial, so she was not in a hurry to rush back to the hospital after she finished eating. Instead, she leaned lazily against the back of the chair and took small bites of the fruits. She was worried that she would get bored of the meat dishes.

It was a pricey restaurant, so they had great quality fruits. Jiang Yao loved the melon.

Lu Xingzhi stared at Jiang Yao's stomach for a long time as he looked at the fruits on the plate. Initially, he was happy that she had a good appetite, but he was also worried she would feel uncomfortable if she overate.

"Don't eat too much. If you like cantaloupe, I'll get you one from the store. You can have them after the surgery," Lu Xingzhi said as he removed the plate of fruits in front of Jiang Yao.

"Actually, I want to eat durian." Jiang Yao chuckled.

"I'll get the melon. Durians are not suitable for summer months." Lu Xingzhi frowned at the mention of durian.

Jiang Yao knew that he would reject that when he heard the word durian.

"That works too."

Jiang Yao did not expect to eat durian with Lu Xingzhi, so she sighed and said, "I miss Mrs. Lin and Colonel Lin so much. If they were here, I could eat the durian with them! They would want to share it with me!"

Everyone in the Lu family, including Lu Yuqing, hated the taste of durian. They treated the fruit like their sworn enemy.
