1489: Don't Do It

Don't Do It

When they went to the army, they had already prepared everything. Lu Xingzhi brought Jiang Yao around the house, asking her which areas needed to be repaired.1

Zhou Weiqi dragged Liang Yueze to get the vegetables from the car's trunk, preparing to start cooking at Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao's new house at noon.

After arranging the food, Zhou Weiqi went to the kitchen. Liang Yueze could not help in the kitchen, so he turned to look for Lu Xingzhi. However, he saw Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao hugging each other intimately and saying things that made them happy. Therefore, he retreated and stood in the yard to smoke.

Lu Xingzhi was not saying anything nice to Jiang Yao but was discussing her classes.

Jiang Yao wanted to go back to school and apply for early graduation. She would not be attending classes for the time being and would take the exams at the end of the semester.

She would stay in the army for the remaining three months to rest and recuperate. She did not want to slack off, but at least she would catch up with the previous months' lessons.

It was already a miracle that she did not die when she fell from the sky. Staying in the hospital for ten days did not mean that she had fully recovered. Recuperation was important for her body. Attending school was not a good way to recover, so Jiang Yao would not show off.

After all, although it was not a big problem for her to walk on her own, she could not do it for too long. She could not exercise, and she had to refrain from eating some food. She also needed to take care of herself in various aspects, such as her nutrition and others.

Of course, Lu Xingzhi was extremely happy that Jiang Yao wanted to stay in the army to recover from her injuries. However, there was a problem.

"I will accompany you to school to handle some matters. Then, I will send you back to your hometown." Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's head and said, "When I come back, I'll have to attend a closed-door training. Because of the mission, that training mission has been postponed. The entire team is only waiting for me."

As he was afraid that Jiang Yao did not understand it, Lu Xingzhi explained again. "That closed-door training is not in the army. It might be in the forest. Sometimes, we might go to the police academy in Province A to participate in cultural training. Sometimes, we might go to other places to train. In short, I won't be here, so I can't take care of you."

Lu Xingzhi thought about it and still felt that it was more reassuring to send Jiang Yao home. With his parents watching over her, Jiang Yao would be able to do what she wanted to do. Furthermore, the food cooked by his mother was more to Jiang Yao's liking. No one's care was better than that of his mother and Jiang Yao's mother.

He wanted to ask Lu Yuqing to care for Jiang Yao, but when he thought of his sister's workaholic personality and cooking skills, Lu Xingzhi decided against that.

Jiang Yao's brows furrowed. "How long will the closed-door training last?"

"Half a year," Lu Xingzhi replied helplessly.

Jiang Yao was on the verge of tears. "Half a year? That's so long. Then I won't be able to see you for six months. It's three months for me, and you won't even finish your training by the time I'm done with my exams."

The thought of not being able to see him for six months filled Jiang Yao with dread and reluctance. "Why does it last so long?"

"The training is to strengthen the soldiers in our regiment. The tasks we will face will be even more arduous in the future. The training process prevents us from being affected by secular matters, so it lasts a long time. We are also prohibited from communicating with the outside world for the next six months."

Lu Xingzhi sighed. "If Ouyang Chenrui calls you while I'm away, ignore him. Don't answer his calls, don't meet him alone, and don't interact with him!"
