For Lu Xingzhi, the days he spent in the forest were not divided into day and night. For the past three days, his beard had sprouted like the weeds in the mountains that the spring rain had nourished. When he kissed Jiang Yao the previous night, she had despised that a lot.
What was Lu Xingzhi’s favorite time of the day?
Other than the moment he opened his eyes and saw Jiang Yao sound asleep in his arms, his favorite time was when they had to wash up.
He liked to squeeze in front of the tiny sink with Jiang Yao. She would gently lean against half his chest as she brushed her teeth with one hand and lazily hid the other in the pocket of her pajamas. Her eyes were vibrant—he did not know what was in her sight or her mind. If he did not rush her, she could brush her teeth for a long time.
It seemed like she would be in a daze during that time daily. The fact that she was in a trance was an interesting quirk.
After Lu Xingzhi washed his face, Jiang Yao was still in a daze. It was not until he spoke that she gave him a look.
“It’s time to wash your face. Don’t brush against your teeth.”
After he said that, he kissed her and then placed his hand on her waist.
Jiang Yao nodded and rinsed her mouth. Then, she took the towel from Lu Xingzhi’s hand and washed her face. She reached out and touched his chin; it was as if she was playing with a puppy. After a few seconds, she withdrew her hand.
After breakfast at the hotel, Lu Xingzhi drove Jiang Yao back to school. His flight had been changed to two in the afternoon, so he did not want Jiang Yao to drive him all the way to the airport.
The car did not go very fast. By the time they reached Jiang Yao’s school gate, it was almost eleven in the morning.
When the car reached the gate, the security guard saw that it was Jiang Yao’s car and waved at her as he shouted, “Jiang Yao! Jiang Yao! Wait!”
When Lu Xingzhi heard that, he stopped the car. When the security guard reached the car, he rolled down the window and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Perhaps Lu Xingzhi’s voice was too stiff, the security guard was stunned for two seconds when he heard the man’s question. Then, he finally reacted. “Jiang Yao, this is your husband, right? He’s so handsome, and he’s a perfect match for you!”
The security guard had wanted to ask that question when he saw Lu Xingzhi the last time. However, he did not have the time. Everyone in the school knew about Jiang Yao’s marriage, so the security guard had asked about it curiously.
When Jiang Yao nodded and admitted it, the security guard remembered why he stopped her. “Half an hour ago, a person came to our school. He stood at the school’s entrance and said that he wanted to expose a student from our school who had lied under a medical student’s guise. He also said that the student had even lied to the army and the hospital. A College of Arts professor had noticed that person when he passed by, and he had invited that person into the school. They seemed to have headed to the office, and they are still in there. Some of the students are saying that the person had implicated your name and the whole school has taken notice of you. Go and explain yourself to the principal!”
The security guard felt that girls with good grades were all good children, especially girls like Jiang Yao, who was brave enough to stand up for others. She was one of a kind. Therefore, the person who said Jiang Yao was a liar was definitely trying to slander her.
The security guard looked furious when he talked about that matter.
