Can't Take My Eyes Off You

A soft and delicate sentence made Lu Xingzhi's heart soften a little.

"I'll sit outside and comb your hair for you."

Lu Xingzhi had a smile in his eyes. Then, he helped her out of the bathroom. It was not until he held Jiang Yao's hand, brought her back to the bed, and let her sit on the edge of the bed that he turned around and took the comb.

The amber-colored comb was held between his fingers. It was too small for his hands, but he did not care about that.

Zhou Weiqi prepared breakfast for them at the small table. When he turned around and saw Lu Xingzhi combing Jiang Yao's hair, he was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He saw Jiang Yao's head leaning against Lu Xingzhi's body and yawning lazily. Lu Xingzhi supported her head with one hand and held the comb with the other as if he was considering where to start.

Zhou Weiqi turned around and muttered, "You really are taking care of your daughter." Then, he secretly glanced at them again. Needless to say, he felt a little jealous.

Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao got along as naturally as an old married couple. When Jiang Yao acted coquettishly, it made people unable to resist her.

Zhou Weiqi secretly thought that even if he had to take care of his wife as if he were taking care of his daughter, he would be very happy. He was jealous that Lu Xingzhi already had a wife. When could he be like him? He could only hold Zhan Qiuhe's discreetly.

When he thought of Zhan Qiuhe's soft hands, Zhou Weiqi scratched his head. He wanted to fly back to Jindo City immediately.

Then, Zhou Weiqi automatically moved a few steps away. He imagined how he doted on Zhan Qiuhe and helped her comb her hair and wash her face. He felt very happy just thinking about that.

Jiang Yao's hair was very soft but very thick. However, she had lost a lot of weight because the food in Shu City was not to her liking. Therefore, her hair was a little drier than during the New Year. She had not combed her hair for a whole day. It was a little difficult to comb the ends of her hair, but Lu Xingzhi did not show any impatience. He did it very carefully.

He used very little strength, but he was still worried that it would hurt Jiang Yao's scalp. After a while, he would ask her if she was in pain. Only when she shook her head did he dare to use more strength.

There were very few things in that world that could hurt Lu Xingzhi. Tying her hair was one of the rarer ones.

Therefore, he only combed Jiang Yao's hair and tied her hair into a ponytail. However, he realized that it was loose, so he gave the hair tie to Jiang Yao and let her do it herself. When Jiang Yao took the hair tie and tied it in two or three loops. He remembered the process, so he thought he would try it again the next day.

"Are you still going to the station today?"

Jiang Yao sat on the edge of the bed and dangled her legs as she watched Lu Xingzhi and Zhou Weiqi fill her breakfast plate. She had had first-class treatment while she was in the hospital.

"I'll accompany you for a while after breakfast. If there are no other issues, I'll be back at noon." Lu Xingzhi moved the small table in front of Jiang Yao and handed her the bowl and cutleries. "Zhou Weiqi cooked porridge this morning. It smells good and there are two side dishes that you will like."

"Jiang Yao, I treated you well, right?" Zhou Weiqi winked at Jiang Yao. Lu Xingzhi said, "During your time in Shu City, the food did not suit your appetite, so you've lost a lot of weight. I'll try my best to fatten you up."

"Thank you, Chef Zhou!"

Jiang Yao looked at the breakfast on the table and smiled. Even though she was constantly insulting Zhou Weiqi, she would never forget how he cared for her during those few days.
