Can't Take My Eyes Off You

After he explained that, Lu Xingzhi took Jiang Yao's luggage and went into the bedroom. Then, he unzipped the suitcase and was ready to unpack Jiang Yao's things into the wardrobe. After all, she would have to stay there for at least half a month, so she could not keep her clothes in the suitcase.

Jiang Yao stood at the side as she watched Lu Xingzhi busied himself when she suddenly remembered something very important. She quickly pulled Lu Xingzhi up from the ground and said hurriedly, "I'll do that myself. Go clean the floor and wipe the table. It's dusty since it's been empty for a few days."

Lu Xingzhi stood up, but he did not leave. Instead, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at Jiang Yao, who got down to pick things up from the luggage bag.

"Go and get it done. Why are you just standing watch?" Jiang Yao urged Lu Xingzhi, who was standing still.

"There's plenty of time; there's no rush. I'll do it after you're done unpacking." Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows as if he did not know anything. He smiled and refused to leave.

Jiang Yao knew the reason for Lu Xingzhi's smile.

Lu Xingzhi must have guessed that she had hidden his birthday present in her luggage. He had tidied her luggage so diligently because he wanted to take a peek. He did not expect her to stop him in time.

What a sly fox!

Jiang Yao was so angry that she could kill Lu Xingzhi. She closed her luggage bag and pushed Lu Xingzhi out of the bedroom angrily. "I told you to go out and do your chores! I'm tidying up my luggage; what are you looking at?"

"Oh, I want to see the birthday present that my wife has prepared for me." Lu Xingzhi was unbelievably honest. "Since the present is for me, why don't you give it to me earlier? It's the same thing anyway. So why don't you give it to me now? That way, I can be happy for a few days."

"To die early is also the same as dying later. So, why don't you die now then?" Jiang Yao retorted. After she said that, she quickly smacked her own lips. "Why am I spouting nonsense? Why am I saying such unlucky things? Let me repeat that. You have to live to be 100 years old!"

"Silly wife." Lu Xingzhi laughed so hard that his chest pounded. When he saw Jiang Yao's annoyed and regretful look, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "Yes, I'll have to live to be 100 years old. I have to live a little longer than you."

"I'll live to be 99 years old, and you'll live to be 100 years old. So use that extra year to think of me!" Jiang Yao's face was as gentle as a pool of clear spring water. The smile on her face was bright and beautiful.

She wrapped her arms around his strong waist and pressed their chests seamlessly together.

"It's more interesting to give the gift on your birthday. It's a surprise! The longer you look forward to it, the happier you'll be when you receive it!" Jiang Yao muttered in a low voice. After she thought about it, she decided not to tell Lu Xingzhi that she had not finished preparing the gift yet. That was to prevent him from ambushing her every day when he found out about it; he would always think of a way to see what gift she had prepared for him.

Lu Xingzhi looked at her red lips as she spoke. Then, he lowered his head and stuck out his tongue to lick her lips gently. Then, he deepened the kiss that he had missed for a long time.

Her lips were like a deadly poison that one could never get rid of once exposed to it. However, unlike common drugs that could make one thinner day by day, her poison seemed to have a stimulating effect. It could activate all the cells in his body—it was like dry grass that had been exposed to fire. Once it was exposed to it, it would never stop.
