1823: That's Good Then

That's Good Then

Jiang Yao became even angrier when she saw his expression. "Why didn't you tell me you were injured? What did we agree on in the past? If you were injured, you had to tell me. You weren't allowed to hide it from me. But why didn't you tell me when you called me last night? If I didn't rush home and find out that you were injured, were you going to continue hiding it?"1

The first thing Jiang Yao did when she reached home was to check on his physical condition, so she knew that he had a knife wound on his waist, which was still bandaged.

"So you not only kissed me but also looked at me when you came back last night." Lu Xingzhi smiled very calmly. "I didn't want to hide it from you. I just forgot to tell you when I called last night. You hung up the phone so quickly that it was like throwing a grenade. When I remembered, you had already hung up the phone. It's just a knife wound. It's not serious, so I didn't call you back."

How could he describe the speed at which she hung up the phone?

Jiang Yao could tell that he was unhappy when she hung up so quickly the previous night.

"I know you have useful medicine for treating external injuries, and I was going to ask you for it. I didn't intend to hide it from you. I want to take you traveling, so I can't wait to get better." Lu Xingzhi got up and moved closer to Jiang Yao. "I will never go back on my promise, so don't be angry."

Jiang Yao said, "That's good then!"

Her heart softened, and she could only glare at him to vent her anger. Then, she compromised and treated his wound.

It was as Lu Xingzhi had said. The wound was not severe. That was why she could wait patiently until the morning.

After changing Lu Xingzhi's dressing, Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi got out of bed. They stood side by side in front of the mirror and brushed their teeth. Unlike Lu Xingzhi's swift movements, Jiang Yao was clearly daydreaming. Her eyes looked at Lu Xingzhi in the mirror. Her hand became slower and slower until it almost stopped.

Lu Xingzhi, who was standing next to her, naturally noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Yao.

He turned to look at Jiang Yao for a few seconds. "What are you thinking about? Your hand has stopped brushing your teeth. Do you want me to help you brush your teeth?"

The last sentence was obviously to tease her, but Jiang Yao did not react in time. She shook her head and said, with toothpaste in her mouth, "No."

Lu Xingzhi was amused. He stood there and laughed. "What were you thinking about just now?"

Jiang Yao continued to shake her head. Then, she lowered her head and rinsed the toothpaste in her mouth. She did not need Lu Xingzhi to help her wring the towel. She just stood there with her head lowered and slowly squeezed it by herself. Her loose hair followed her lowered head's movements; it blocked half of her face.

Lu Xingzhi asked her a few more questions, but she did not answer. He did not continue asking. Instead, he changed his tone and said, "I'm going to shave my beard. Do you want to touch it one last time?"

She lifted her head and snorted at him. Only then did Lu Xingzhi feel at ease enough to continue with his task.

She had snorted, so it meant she did not think it was a big deal.

After Jiang Yao had washed her face and brushed her teeth, she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she leaned to the side and watched Lu Xingzhi shave his beard. He was in a good mood, and his eyes were filled with joy. After a good night's sleep, his eyes were still a little puffy, but he looked much better than he did the previous night.
