Can't Take My Eyes Off You

The most important thing was to take advantage of the few minutes left to run outside the train station and buy a few hot buns and soy milk for her. It was still early, so she must not have eaten. If she had not eaten breakfast, then she would not be in a good mood for the whole day. Furthermore, the train was very crowded. She would have to muster enough energy to take the train for a few days.

Jiang Yao laughed when she heard Lu Xingzhi said that he was going to buy her breakfast. The corner of her lips curled into a smile. Lu Xingzhi's face was always cold, but his heart was soft. He was always afraid that she would starve.

Chen Feitang said, "Jiang Yao, it's not too late for you to leave now. Do you think that the mission is a game? Don't you know that our lives are bound? It's fine if you hate me, but what about those two people with Colonel Lin? What about Zhou Junmin? What about your husband, Lu Xingzhi? Don't you care about their lives? It's not just us who are at the front line. There are also those informants. Aren't their lives worth something? They don't have the salary of a police officer and are working a job that is even more dangerous than a police officer. They have families, children, and parents. Do you want these people to be sacrificed because of you?"

"Sha Ying, if you have any objections to my presence, please contact the superiors." Jiang Yao sat on the chair and looked up at Chen Feitang. Sha Ying was Chen Feitang's code name for the mission. She did not even bother to use Chen Feitang's name; she was obviously using her identity as a colleague on a mission to talk to Chen Feitang.

Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi were going to Shu city. Chen Feitang still had a long way to go with them because her destination was near Shu City. However, Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi would not interact with Chen Feitang throughout the journey; they would even treat it as if they did not know each other, even if they were in the same carriage.

Chen Feitang was furious. She knew that Jiang Yao did not want to talk to her, so she sat there and did not say another word.

Lu Xingzhi came back about five minutes later. He made good use of the time and ran back to the service room. When he arrived, they checked their tickets and boarded the train.

Although Chen Feitang was also here, Lu Xingzhi passed all the food to his wife, and Jiang Yao took it. She did not offer any to Chen Feitang. Then, she held Lu Xingzhi's hand and walked out of the service room to the entrance.

After they left the service room, Jiang Yao did not see Chen Feitang again. After they boarded the train, Jiang Yao followed Lu Xingzhi to their seats. There were so many people in the carriage that it was filled with all kinds of smells.

They were in a hard sleeper carriage, and they had the upper bunks. When they found their seats, the people in the lower bunks were already asleep.

"Give me your bag. I'll take it. There's a quilt here. Take it and put it on the bed. It may not be very clean but bear with it. Otherwise, you won't be able to endure it if you lie there for a few days." Lu Xingzhi bought the quilt at a high price from an elderly woman outside the train station. The blanket was not new, but it was better than nothing. If Lu Xingzhi knew that his partner was Jiang Yao, he would have prepared those things early in the morning.

Lu Xingzhi helped Jiang Yao put the blanket on the bed. He even took out a few of his clothes and spread them on the blanket. "My clothes are clean."

It was just like when he sent her to her dormitory—he wished that he could give her the best out of the limited conditions so she could be more comfortable.
