Can't Take My Eyes Off You

When Jiang Yao pressed her palm against his palm, Lu Xingzhi took advantage of the opportunity to compare the sizes of his and her hands. He interlocked his palm with her fingers before raising them to his lips to kiss her.

"Yaoyao, let's go home. The smell is heavy here, and the bed is not comfortable. I have nothing to do in the hospital. You made the medicine, and you were the one who changed the medicine for me. We can go home." Lu Xingzhi's voice was gentle as he coaxed Jiang Yao. "It's also a waste of hospital resources for us to stay here."

"Let's stay here for a while longer." Jiang Yao moved away.

"No need. I know what you're worried about." Lu Xingzhi forcefully turned Jiang Yao's face toward him. He did not want to look at the back of his wife's head. How could the back of her head be as beautiful as her face?

"I promise you. After we go home, I'll stay in bed. I'll stay home with you if you don't allow me to participate in the training. After we go back, I'll listen to you and follow your instructions. I won't act recklessly again."

Jiang Yao was not afraid that the doctors in the hospital would find it strange if he left the hospital early. She was even more fearful that Lu Xingzhi would be unable to suppress his restless and stubborn heart once he returned to the army base. He would get excited when he heard the army's whistle. If she could not keep an eye on him, he would slip out and need someone to carry him back.

However, Lu Xingzhi's promise was serious. He did not look like he was lying to her. Jiang Yao could not help but be tempted to believe him.

It did not matter how nice the hospital ward was; it was not home. The hospital bed was not comparable to the bed in which one was accustomed to sleeping at home. The hospital bedding was always stiff and had a strong disinfectant odor.

"You don't want to go Home?"

Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's head.

"Of course I do," Jiang Yao answered without hesitation. "I want to go home."

"Then let's pack up in the afternoon and go home tomorrow?"

Lu Xingzhi said patiently, "I promise I'll listen to you when I go home. I'll do anything you want me to."

After a pause, Lu Xingzhi said, "Even if you want to kiss me after eating the durian, I swear I won't hide from you. After I go home, you'll have the final say at home."

Lu Xingzhi managed to coax Jiang Yao. The smile on her face slowly blossomed. She hooked her finger at Lu Xingzhi and smiled mischievously. "Really? You won't hide when I eat durian at home? You won't brush your teeth before you kiss me after I ate some durian?"

"I won't hide from you." After she had suffered so much because of him, Lu Xingzhi felt he could still tolerate the slight smell of sh*t.

Fortunately, Jiang Yao was not a mind reader. Otherwise, she would have punched him if she had known what Lu Xingzhi was thinking.

"That's good." Jiang Yao nodded. She had initially intended to return home. She had no objections since Lu Xingzhi had made such a solemn promise.

"We can tell Mom to go home. She still has classes, and she can't take so much time off from school. It'll be hard to reschedule her classes."

Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi started discussing the elderly members. After thinking for a while, she said to Lu Xingzhi, "Let's tell my dad to go home too. He's not used to sitting idle. He's always thinking about the land at home. There are no neighbors here. He's not used to it. He'll just tire my mom out."
