Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Of course, those words were meant as a joke. Xiao Shan still admired their colonel's spirit of dealing with people and matters. During the selection, Xiao Shan was the first person to speak up at Lu Xingzhi. He was also one of the people who helped Lu Xingzhi deal with Chen Feitang.

"There are some things that he hates to be perfunctory about."

Jiang Yao was aware of Lu Xingzhi's personality. He was a touch too domineering, to put it bluntly. They would have won if it had been someone else. They would never make their opponent start again as they might lose.

He was overbearing and proud. Besides that, he also had a strong stubbornness toward certain things and rigid rules that could not be broken.

For example, no matter how close he was to her in private, he would only hold her hand or put his arm around her in front of the troops. That was his rule.

However, that spirit and attitude did not make people dislike him. On the contrary, it would inspire people, just like in the competition. Even Lu Xingzhi's opponent would go all out.

Lu Xingzhi still defeated his opponent. However, he still gave his opponent some pointers on his shortcomings. He would tell his opponent later on how to attack and defend with one fewer move.

The people who were initially cheering gradually quieted because they realized that the match had become Lu Xingzhi's on-site teaching ground. Each of them stared at the stage without blinking. Some even dragged another person to demonstrate the changes that Lu Xingzhi had mentioned. With one try, they could tell that what Lu Xingzhi said was true.

Those people's thoughts were in sync. Some people felt that Hades Lu was not as cold and heartless as the legends said, but some actually felt that Lu Xingzhi was too arrogant.

No matter what other people thought, Lu Xingzhi won the competition. Then, he talked to his opponent as he walked off the stage.

When Lu Xingzhi came down, he was immediately surrounded by people. They all asked him some questions about his moves. Xiao Shan accompanied Jiang Yao as she stood there and waited. She looked at Lu Xingzhi, who was frowning and answering questions like he was a man of few words.

He was only five meters away from her. He seemed to know that she was looking at him, so he looked in her direction as he spoke.

The two looked at each other across the crowd and smiled.

"Mrs. Lu, look at the way Colonel Lu looks at you. It's so mushy." Xiao Shan stood beside Jiang Yao and teased her. "I've heard of Colonel Lu's nickname, Hades Lu, before this. How did you and Colonel Lu get together? Did he court you first? I can't imagine what it's like for Colonel Lu to court someone."

How was it when he courted someone? The word plunder was the most appropriate to describe that.

Jiang Yao secretly agreed in her heart, but she did not say it out loud.

"When Colonel Lu courted you, did he send you flowers? Did he say nice things?" Xiao Shan asked one question after another as if he wanted to gossip. "We were chatting with Zhou Junmin the other day."

Xiao Shan's words came to an abrupt stop. His face, which had before been filled with smirks, had abruptly turned from a joyful to a fearful one.

"Mrs. Lu!"

Xiao Shan had not expected that. The person standing by his side and listening to his words a second ago suddenly flew forward and fell to the ground.
