Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"You guys eat. I'll go to the courtyard to have a look, but don't eat too much. It's time for lunch later." Jiang Yao put the plate down and went to the courtyard.

As soon as she came out of the house, the wind in the courtyard nearly froze her. However, she was too lazy to go back to the house to put on her coat, so she stretched her body and looked for Lu Xingzhi in the courtyard. Then, she found Lu Xingzhi under the grape tree.

Lu Xingzhi was talking on the phone with his back toward her. Jiang Yao had an evil plane. She tiptoed closer to Lu Xingzhi, ready to scare him. Just as she was about to pat his back, Lu Xingzhi suddenly turned around with the phone in one hand, and the other hugged her waist and carried her into his arms.

He embraced Jiang Yao fully, but she did not think it was strange. Lu Xingzhi was a soldier, after all. If he did not notice that she was so close to him, he would have died many times when he went out on missions.

Lu Xingzhi was on the phone with Zhou Weiqi as he held the person in his arms with one hand. He noticed that Jiang Yao had come out to look for him without a jacket. He ended the call with Zhou Weiqi hurriedly and immediately took off his coat and wrapped Jiang Yao tightly.

"It's so cold. Why did you not put on a jacket when you came out of the yard? Are you a three-year-old?" Lu Xingzhi put the phone back into his pocket and scolded Jiang Yao.

"I'm too lazy to go upstairs." Lu Xingzhi kept Jiang Yao warm. "Go back inside; my biscuits are ready! I saved some for you."

Lu Xingzhi did not expect Jiang Yao to make any decent biscuits, but when he saw Jiang Yao's smug look, he raised his eyebrows and thought that he had underestimated his wife's cooking skills.

It was freezing in the courtyard. The two of them did not talk much and quickly ran back to the house.

When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Lu Xingzhi enter the house, she shouted, "Brother, come quickly! Sister-in-law left a biscuit for you! It's different for the rest of us!"

Even though he was not in high spirits, Lu Xingzhi's mood was quite good, so he walked a little faster.

When he saw the pile of biscuits that Lu Xiaoxiao was pointing at, his eyelids twitched. "Why is mine so black?"

"Because it's the first time I've burnt it," Jiang Yao answered honestly.

"You left it for me because it's burnt?" Lu Xingzhi looked confused.

Jiang Yao did not say anything; she wanted to nod, but Lu Xingzhi seemed a little unhappy, so she changed her words. "How about I bring it back to my mom's house for the pigs..."

Then, Lu Xingzhi's face darkened.

When Jiang Yao said she would bring them home for the pigs, Lu Xingzhi picked one and ate it.

Mrs. Lu and the others laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, while Jiang Yao suppressed the smile on her lips.

She did not do it on purpose. She did not expect Lu Xingzhi to take a bite even though he knew that they were burnt. She had meant to bring them home to feed the pigs.

Lu Xiaoxiao held the plate and started to distribute the biscuits. "These are for me, these are for Sister, these are for my dad, and these are for Uncle and Auntie."

After she divided half of the biscuits, Lu Xiaoxiao took the portion that belonged to her and put it in a glass bowl before she continued to distribute it.

"These are for Sister-in-law's eldest brother and wife, these are for Sister-in-law's parents, and the remaining burnt portion for Brother and Sister-in-law's pigs!"
