Can't Take My Eyes Off You

From afar, it looked like a bunch of rabbits were hopping away.

Lu Xingzhi turned around and looked in the direction of the school. Then, he walked behind the children. After ensuring that the children had safely returned to the welfare institute, he took a taxi back to the army base.

The spring night was slightly cold. Jiang Yao gathered her coat, held her phone, and texted Lu Xingzhi. She was curled up on the rattan chair on the windowsill, with a thin blanket covering her knees.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Yao glanced over; Cheng Jinnian was standing outside the door, so she did not make a sound.

She was angry.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu's attention had been drawn to Cheng Jinnian all night. That guy did not come to the Lu family to seek her. He was obviously there to compete for their favor, right?

Hmm!

Mr. Lu was hers!

Mrs. Lu was hers too!

They were all hers!

She would drive that little devil out eventually!

Cheng Jinnian stood at the door and knocked a few times. Mrs. Lu happened to walk past. Seeing that Jiang Yao did not come out to open the door, she said, "Perhaps your sister is already asleep. You can look for her tomorrow morning."

Cheng Jinnian looked at his watch. It was only 8:30 PM, but since Mrs. Lu said so, and Jiang Yao did not come out to open the door, he hummed in acknowledgment as if he believed her. "Sister hasn't been feeling well recently, so she has to go to bed early. My mother has been going to bed very early every day recently too."

"Good boy, then you should go to bed early too. The earlier you go to bed, the stronger you'll grow." Mrs. Lu persuaded Cheng Jinnian. "Are you afraid of sleeping alone at night? If you are, do you want me to sleep with you?"

"I'm not afraid! I've been sleeping by myself since I was less than a year old!" Cheng Jinnian shook his head and smiled innocently. "Mom and Dad say that boys should be independent."

Mrs. Lu smiled. "That is very similar to your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law also slept by himself. Anyone who wants to accompany him will be pushed off the bed. There was a time your brother-in-law's sister slept with him at night. In the end, he kicked her off the bed in the middle of the night. He's been a little tyrant since she was young."

"Is my brother-in-law still like that?" Cheng Jinnian's beautiful eyebrows suddenly furrowed. "Then will he kick my sister off the bed?"

Mrs. Lu was stunned; then she burst into laughter. "If it's your sister, then your brother-in-law will definitely hug her tightly at night. Even if he falls off the bed, he won't let your sister do that. Your sister is your brother-in-law's jewel. You have to treat her delicately. If anyone makes your sister unhappy, your brother-in-law will beat that person."

"I can do that too!"

Cheng Jinnian's eyes lit up. "If he's not here, I'll protect my sister from now on!"

Mrs. Lu accompanied Cheng Jinnian as they talked and returned to Cheng Jinnian's room. When Jiang Yao heard what Mrs. Lu said, she hugged her phone and blushed.

Mrs. Lu thought that she did not hear it, but in fact, she heard every word.

However, it seemed like Mrs. Lu was right. When Lu Xingzhi slept at night, he would hug her tightly. Even if he did not use any strength, there would definitely be a hand on her waist when he slept. He slept very quietly. He could sleep in that position until he woke up the next day.

However, Jiang Yao's sleeping position was not very still. Miraculously, no matter how she moved, Lu Xingzhi's hand never moved. Sometimes, when she woke up the following day, she would return to Lu Xingzhi's arms.

She guessed that he probably woke up in the middle of the night and saw that she had moved far away. He must have carried her back to bed.
