Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Big Brother, why are you here at this time? I thought you went back to the hotel. I left your breakfast in the hotel room." Zhou Weiqi felt as if Liang Yueze had behaved differently. He knew that Liang Yueze could have had breakfast at the hotel buffet, but he still brought an extra portion for him.

"Where's Lu Xingzhi? I brought his portion as well. "Zhou Weiqi pointed at the table.

"He shouldn't be free to come back."

Liang Yueze took Lu Xingzhi's portion as well. As he ate, he looked at Jiang Yao, wanting to say something but hesitating. He did not know if he should tell Jiang Yao about Lu Xingzhi's situation.

He was very hesitant.

On the one hand, Jiang Yao was a doctor, so she might be able to prescribe some medicine to treat Lu Xingzhi's insomnia.

On the other hand, he was afraid that Jiang Yao would not be able to do anything about it. Instead, she would worry. That was something that Lu Xingzhi did not want.

"Big Brother, if you have anything you want to say, you can just say it. We have no secrets." Jiang Yao had noticed that Liang Yueze was constantly looking at her. He looked as if he had something to say.

No matter how slow Jiang Yao was, she could still sense that Liang Yueze had something to say to her.

"You can tell?"

Liang Yueze was not embarrassed that Jiang Yao had seen through him. Instead, he felt much more relaxed. Jiang Yao had asked him. If Lu Xingzhi asked, he could say that Jiang Yao had discovered it herself.

"Lu Xingzhi hasn't slept for at least 48 hours. He can't sleep. Do you have any way to treat him? Prescribe some medicine for him, or enlighten him so that he doesn't have such a heavy heart." He had spent his morning squatting on the ground with Lu Xingzhi as they smoked some cigarettes. Perhaps that could help a bit.

"He can't sleep?" Jiang Yao was shocked. "No wonder I woke up a few times last night and found that his eyes were wide open!"

Sometimes, she would roll over and press her wound uncomfortably when she slept. When Jiang Yao was half-asleep, she would see Lu Xingzhi adjusting her sleeping posture so that she would avoid pressing on her wound.

She thought that he only had a light sleep, but it turned out that he did not sleep the whole night.

"Maybe prescribe some sleeping medication for him. I reckon he still needs some other form of help, but there is currently no one here to give him counseling, so the most important thing is to get him to sleep." After Liang Yueze finished speaking, he put down the bowl. He had not had a good night's rest last night, so he did not have much appetite. After saying what he needed to say, he left the hospital and prepared to return to the hotel to catch up on his sleep.

Zhao Weiqi said, "It must be because of Sergeant Ge. He really hurt Lu Xingzhi's heart. He was the one who taught Sergeant Ge a lot of military skills."

The soup in Jiang Yao's mouth suddenly lost its sweet taste. She understood what Lu Xingzhi was going through. He hated Sergeant Ge, so he might be blaming himself. If he had done his best to get Sergeant Ge to stay when Sergeant Ge retired from the army, perhaps he would not have ended like that.

There was a feeling of hatred and regret. The most important thing was that that operation had sacrificed a lot of people and injured many more. Lu Xingzhi had taken responsibility for those mistakes.

He was an indomitable man, someone so responsible that he wanted to protect all his subordinates.

Jiang Yao knew that Lu Xingzhi was worried about her. He had witnessed her plane crash. He must have had nightmares about the plane crash. In that short period, he had transcended the moment of life and death. He would never forget it.

It was deeply engraved in his heart.
