Can't Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 1857 - Take It Easy

Chapter 1857 Take It Easy

Jiang Yao realized that all Lu Xingzhi wanted was someone to listen to him. A guy who kept his comments to himself did not mean he had nothing to say. That did not mean he did not need someone to confide in.

She was the only person he could confide in without feeling judged.

Jiang Yao spent an afternoon getting to know everyone there. She had not met any one of them, yet thanks to Lu Xingzhi’s introduction, she had the illusion that she had once become friends with them.

He remembered it too deeply and said it too clearly that he had created that lifelike image in her mind.

It was not until dusk that Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao departed the Martyrs’ Mausoleum. They returned to the army base for dinner with Lu Xingzhi’s friends before returning to the hotel where they were staying.

“I am going to the army base by myself tomorrow to tell them about my past mission. You can stay in the hotel. I’ll be back around noon. Then, I’ll bring you around. We will begin our journey tomorrow. You can stay in bed till I come back.” Lu Xingzhi caressed Jiang Yao’s head.

“Are you telling me to take it easy?”

Jiang Yao smiled, her eyes narrowed.

“No.”

Lu Xingzhi arched his brow. “That means I will be able to enjoy myself tonight.”

Before Jiang Yao could respond, he pressed down on her. “I promise to be gentle.”

Jiang Yao yelled into Lu Xingzhi’s ear, “I knew you’re not kind!”

Lu Xingzhi’s laughter pierced Jiang Yao’s heart. His chuckle was curiously sensual, deep, and mellow. It was as if it had the power to enchant people. The night pa.s.sed by quickly. It was as if Jiang Yao simply opened and closed her eyes for a few seconds.

When Lu Xingzhi woke Jiang Yao up the next morning, she was still curled up in bed.

“Cold?”

Lu Xingzhi placed his hand on Jiang Yao’s palm. “In Lanning, there is a significant temperature change between morning and night. Do you want me to raise the temperature in the room a little?”

Jiang Yao nodded without hesitation. “I felt a little cold when you moved. Bring it up.”

Lu Xingzhi did as he was told and kept the room’s temperature at 25 degrees. Then he requested room service for breakfast. He ate with Jiang Yao and murmured a few things to her before leaving the room.

Jiang Yao had planned to follow Lu Xingzhi’s plan and go back to bed to catch up on sleep after he left. She did notice that she had a lot of energy after eating.

She cuddled Moe and read books in her room after saying goodbye to Lu Xingzhi. She read travel magazines while ma.s.saging Moe’s head with one hand. Moe looked so relaxed that he meowed a couple of times.

“Moe, you have been following me around a lot recently. I am not used to you suddenly becoming honest and uninterested in gorgeous girls.” Jiang Yao poked Moe’s plump face. Her food was better when she was with Lu Xingzhi. Even Moe’s food was better.

Moe sighed. He did not want to talk to her. He did not look at another gorgeous lady because he was afraid that something bad might happen to Jiang Yao, and he was pretty proud of himself for thinking that.

“I will go to a convention abroad with another lovely lady. Would you like to accompany me?” That lovely lady was Wen Xuehui.

Moe’s eyes brightened, and he nodded immediately. “Yes, I’m going!”
