Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao did not mean to let Mrs. Jiang stay there, but the problem was that she did not know how to cook. Lu Xingzhi was injured and had to recuperate; he could not possibly take care of three meals a day and cook for her. The food in the canteen was not enough for the nutrients that Lu Xingzhi needed during his recovery. She still had to cook at home for Lu Xingzhi.

Furthermore, she required nutrition and simply giving her something to eat was insufficient.

Despite her lack of enthusiasm for returning home, Jiang Yao could not help but pack her belongings and hum songs. She was not afraid to sing out of tune, demonstrating her positive attitude.

Lu Xingzhi walked around for ten minutes before pulling Jiang Yao. "Leave it. Let Mom clean it when she returns. You are pregnant, so squatting exhausts you. Go to bed and take a nap with me."

"It's alright." Jiang Yao blinked, but Lu Xingzhi looked tired. Thinking of what Mrs. Lu had told her in the morning, Lu Xingzhi probably did not have a good night's rest either, so she nodded and turned around to wash her hands.

Lu Xingzhi watched Jiang Yao go to the bathroom. He lay on the bed, then moved to the inside and gave up half of the bed. When Jiang Yao came out, he waved at her. "Let's sleep."

Seeing Jiang Yao's frown and hesitation, Lu Xingzhi said, "My injuries are much better now. I'll sleep for a while. You've been sleeping quite well recently. "

When Lu Xingzhi noticed Jiang Yao was still motionless, he sighed and said, "I sleep better with you in my arms."

Jiang Yao's lips tightened. She removed her shoes and sat down as well. She was still concerned about Lu Xingzhi's wounds, so she did not cling to him as tightly as before. He put his hand on her waist and moved closer to her before closing his eyes.

Lu Xingzhi's exhaustion was genuine. His breathing gradually calmed down after a while. Jiang Yao did not even have to test him to know he was fast asleep.

Jiang Yao was much more energetic than Lu Xingzhi, who had not gotten a good night's sleep the night before. She reached out to touch his eyelashes when he fell asleep.

Lu Xingzhi was born to be the heavens' favorite child. He had a high IQ and was quick from elementary school to university, but he had a rugged and attractive face.

He lacked the scholarly aura of a southern boy due to his profession. Instead, he was a walking male hormone who always exuded manliness.

When he kissed someone, his strong brows, high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips piqued their interest.

The superstitious older generation believed that a man's thin lips indicated that he was a heartless individual.

However, Lu Xingzhi was affectionate. His indifference was reserved only for those who did not have his heart.

Even his eyelashes were long enough to pique Jiang Yao's interest. He slept soundly with his eyes tightly shut. He was less cold and stern after falling asleep, and he looked more at ease.

Jiang Yao could not help but lean over and peck at his lips lightly. A hug between lovers could undoubtedly put people at ease.

No matter how the world tossed and turned, his embrace was always a safe haven.
