“That’s right, Captain Lu, being in a highly-stimulated mental state without sufficient rest is a recipe for disaster,” added the doctor.
Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao, who was frowning and glaring at him, and nodded in acknowledgment, before leaving the tent together with her.
The doctor smiled after seeing the couple walked away hand-in-hand. “They are a loving couple, holding hands wherever they go! It’s great to see the younger generation like this.”
The General was stationed in the southern military base and knew very little about Lu Xingzhi, mostly having read them from his files. Although, he thought it was a wonderful thing that Lu Xingzhi married a doctor at such a young age and still had a committed relationship.
For a soldier, having a good relationship with their spouse was actually a good thing.
The General smiled and nodded in agreement. “It really is. She will have a bright future ahead, for sure!”
After making sure that Chen Feibai was indeed safe, the General left the site in relief. He was also in a hurry to notify the Chen family of the good news.
It was just a short walk before Lu Xingzhi lifted Jiang Yao up and carried her right to the same secluded spot.
Ah, he wanted to continue their conversation!
“The General ordered you to rest, why are we here instead? Are you disobeying his orders?” Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi, whose expression was getting worse. “What did I do this time?”
“Come on, Lu Xingzhi, can it! I came here to give you warm hugs not to see your sour face!”
Lu Xingzhi’s frown deepened.
“Jiang Yao.” He did not even call her by her nickname as he spoke in a serious tone as if he was criticizing her. “Alright, let us do this logically!”
He pulled her down and pressed her against the wall, placing his hands next to her ears. She was stuck.
“You came here alone, did you think about your own safety?” Lu Xingzhi’s face was mere inches away from hers. He wanted her to see his anger and concern.
“What if something bad happened to you? There is no cell reception here and the traffic is scarce, what would you do?” His expression darkened as he continued, “What is going to happen to me if you die? Where the heck can I find someone like you again, damn it!”
Jiang Yao was stunned by Lu Xingzhi’s outburst and instantly stopped struggling as she stood there rigidly like a pole.
This was the first time Lu Xingzhi had ever yelled at her, ever since the day they knew each other.
It was extremely frightening to see him in this manner.
His expression was as fierce as a monster as his aura seemed to instantly chilled the temperature of their surroundings.
Amidst all these, Jiang Yao managed to squeeze out a little of her voice.
“You swore!”
