Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Annoyed, she pouted when he came back with the bottle of black vinegar in hand, and said that she wanted white vinegar instead.

Lu Xingzhi was not angry at all. He knew what Jiang Yao was up to. She was afraid of another sleepless night, ravaged by the insatiable being that was himself. Especially with her leaving tomorrow, he would spend the last night with her. She wanted to use up his energy by asking him to go on mindless errands in hopes that he would feel exhausted by nightfall.

So much so that she was hoping that he would get annoyed and get angry at her, which she would then use as an excuse to start a fight and proceed to ignore him for the rest of the night.

Lu Xingzhi saw right through her little scheme.

However much he was running around the platoon in the afternoon, he promised to himself that he would give her as much love as he could at night.

Colonel Lin understood from Lu Xingzhi's reply that he had enjoyed every single moment of it.

Once Lu Xingzhi returned home with the white vinegar, Jiang Yao was already out of ideas. There was nothing else for her to use as an excuse to send him away.

She thought he would walk in angrily, yet the smile on his face squashed her expectation.

If anyone were to do the same thing to her, she would have stabbed a knife right through their hearts. Heck, Lu Xingzhi did not even get angry.

This meant that he would only get mad when he was jealous of Jiang Yao, other than that, his temper was as mild as the winter sun.

Ah, such a sweet yet tedious reality.

Lu Xingzhi was the one cooking dinner again. Even though they were the only ones eating, he still prepared three dishes and a soup.

Having cooked for a while now, along with his regular visits to the cafeteria's kitchen, Lu Xingzhi's cooking skills had gotten much better. Jiang Yao would sometimes go for seconds, especially when he cooked her favorite dishes.

By the time Lu Xingzhi came out from his study, it was already ten o'clock at night. He approached Jiang Yao, who was busy texting on her cell phone, and asked in a serious tone, "Any more trash for me to throw or any errands for me to run?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yao's hand trembled and her cell phone dropped onto the ground.

He stooped over and picked up her cell phone, and proceeded to place it on the bedside table, and got onto the bed. Pushing her down, he chuckled in her ears. "Otherwise, let me show you how much energy I have left after running so many errands for you in the afternoon."

As if struck by lightning, Jiang Yao was speechless.

So he knew all along?

"Lu Xingzhi! I'm going to kill you one day!" As she came back to her senses, she growled at the man trying to remove her shirt.

He smiled and stopped in his tracks. Looking at her, he said, "It's a blessing to die in your arms."

"Please, I'm so exhausted, can't you let me rest tonight?" Jiang Yao did not know what to do and decided to beg for mercy.

He liked her this way, acting all gentle and soft; she invoked the primal passion in him.

"Yaoyao…" He lay on top of her and whispered in her ears, calling out her nickname, "You're leaving tomorrow, that's why I can't let you go tonight."
