Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Lu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhi. "Brother, I really appreciate your compliment."

"Follow the doctor's advice. Don't forget what you promised." Jiang Yao snorted and then pulled out a piece of paper to wipe Mrs. Lu's tears. "Mom, look at how energetic he is. How can he be in trouble? He can make me angry several times a day. Sometimes, I even want to beat him up."

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang just happened to send food over at that time. When they noticed the room was buzzing with activity, they exclaimed, "Hello! It looks like everyone is here, even Xiaoxiao. I haven't seen you in a long time. You have grown more beautiful!"

"Aunty, who's prettier? Me or my sister-in-law?" Lu Xiaoxiao took the food box from Mrs. Jiang's hand and placed it on the table.

"Your sister-in-law is prettier."

The one who answered was the person who had made his wife angry.

"I didn't ask you." Lu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she wanted to smash the lunchbox in her hands onto Lu Xingzhi's face.

The siblings' antics amused Jiang Yao. She rinsed the bowls and spoon once before handing them to Lu Xingzhi. Even though Lu Xingzhi could only use the spoon with his left hand, he was still very good at using them.

"You just got off the plane, right? You haven't had lunch yet, right? Go have lunch. There's no need for everyone to be here." Mrs. Jiang walked over to Mrs. Lu. She patted the back of Mrs. Lu's hand and said, "Don't worry. Don't you think that Xingzhi is doing well?"

Mrs. Lu nodded when she saw that Lu Xingzhi did not seem to be in a bad mood. People in a bad mood would not stare at the food box and frown while grumbling to Jiang Yao about how there was no meat.

"Alright, I'll go back to the army base first. I need to unpack my luggage." Mrs. Lu nodded and said to Lu Xingzhi, "You can't eat meat. In your current situation, you can only eat more vegetables and fruits.

After a pause, she said, "Yaoyao is a doctor. You have to listen to her. Don't bully Yaoyao just because you're big and strong. If I find out you bullied her, I'll beat you up."

Lu Xingzhi looked at the bowl of soup in pain and nodded.

"Yaoyao, if he doesn't listen, beat him up. Don't spoil him." Mrs. Lu did not forget to remind Jiang Yao before she left. She left the hospital with a big suitcase she had brought from Jindo City.

Second Uncle Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao had rushed to the city to visit Lu Xingzhi because they were scared by the news of his injury. The two of them were busy at the moment. Seeing that Lu Xingzhi was fine, they booked a plane ticket back to Jindo City in the afternoon. Mrs. Lu, on the other hand, had to return to the army base.

Most of the things in her suitcase were things that she had brought back from Jindo City for Jiang Yao and her in-laws. She did not have many clothes, so she had to go home to put her suitcase away. Then, she would pack up some clothes and go to the hospital to change. Mrs. Lu was also preparing to stay in the hospital before Lu Xingzhi was discharged.

Mrs. Lu was at ease when she left the hospital because she had seen Lu Xingzhi's condition with her own eyes. She did not expect, however, that after leaving the hospital and returning to the army base, she would hear from her neighbors about the terrifying things she had not known about in the previous few days.

She had heard about Lu Xingzhi's initial disappearance, Jiang Yao's trip to Lanning because of Lu Xingzhi, and how Lu Xingzhi was severely injured at the start.
