Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 621: A New Mother

It was only now that his stone-cold face showed signs of relaxation, if ever so slightly.

Looking at his knitted brows, Jiang Yao knew that he would be on high mental alert for next week’s selection process.
Even as he slept, he was aware of everything happening around him.
Not wanting to disturb his sleep, Jiang Yao dared not move at all.

His familiar scent and breathing lulled her into a good night’s sleep as well.

By the time she woke up the next morning, Lu Xingzhi was gone.
His belongings however were still here, which meant that he would be back by nightfall.

“Sis, you are early!” Jiang Yao remarked as Lu Yuqing entered the tent carrying a washbasin filled with water in her hands.

“Xingzhi was even earlier.
He left right on daybreak to the frontlines.” Lu Yuqing sighed.
“I’d rather not see him in this state.”

Jiang Yao understood the words between Lu Yuqing’s lines.

“Reminds me, the soldier you rescued yesterday has woken up,” said Lu Yuqing.
“Do you want to pay a visit?”

“How is he doing?” Jiang Yao asked.

“I don’t know, I am not a doctor.” Lu Yuqing shrugged and handed the water over to Jiang Yao.
“Wash up and have some breakfast.”

Jiang Yao quickly brushed her teeth and wiped her face clean with the towel.
After grooming was done, she started on breakfast.
It was still bread and milk, but that was already considered a luxury, only the people of Changkang Group got to enjoy it.
It was biscuits and milk or even biscuits and water for the rest.

Jiang Yao took her own time eating.
She sat by the table and observed Lu Yuqing cleaning up her stuff just like how a mother would.

“Thank you, Sis! You are now my second mother!” Jiang Yao called out.

“I accept the gratitude but not the latter statement!” Lu Yuqing retorted.

Jiang Yao grinned.
Why would God give such a sweet lady a life of challenges and obstacles?

She was still figuring out if Huang Chengjing was genuine in his intentions for Lu Yuqing when she noticed the towel in Lu Yuqing’s hand and immediately her day took a turn for the worse.

Damn! She forgot to change the towel!

It was the one used by Lu Xingzhi yesterday!

Oh god! Did he not use it to wipe his…

Suddenly, the milk in her mouth tasted a little strange!

“What’s wrong?” Lu Yuqing noticed Jiang Yao’s weird expression.

“Nothing.” Jiang Yao shook her head and quickly swallowed her breakfast.
“Sis, I’m going to Shengqi Hospital’s tent.
Since I have nothing better to do now, I may be of assistance to the people there.”
