"How could it be possible not to notice someone whose front and back are all badly bruised?"
There were even several wounds in lethal locations, deep and long, which looked extremely terrifying.
The sound of a lighter igniting.
He immediately frowned and stood up.
Sure enough, the person sitting on the sofa with his shirt unbuttoned had already lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, then exhaled a ring of smoke.
Actually, Jiang Ye seldom smoked, only when the pressure was particularly high, and now he just wanted to smoke a bit to relax.
Just as he was about to take a second puff, Lu Jingren had already walked over.
He didn’t say anything, just pulled it away.
Jiang Ye didn’t react for a moment, completely stunned.
Of course, the only person in the world who could so boldly take a cigarette right under the watch of Captain Jiang might be no one else.
"Do you know what happens to people who court death eventually?"
One could tell, at this moment, someone was feeling a bit unnerved.
"If you don’t cherish your own body, then there’s no need for others to care either."
"I really didn’t, Lu’er, believe me."
Lu Jing glanced at him but didn’t respond to anything.
He found an ashtray nearby, threw the cigarette butt into it, and snuffed it out.
He prepared to go to the balcony to get some clothes to change into and then leave.
Jiang Ye saw that the woman intended to leave and quickly reached out to grab her wrist:
"Lu’er, Lu’er, can’t you stay? Just stay with me a little longer."
"I promise I won’t smoke anymore, okay?"
Lu Jing shook her wrist several times, unable to break free, only then did she move her gaze back:
"It’s getting late, I should head back!" she said indifferently.
Jiang Ye still didn’t let go, just looked up at her.
His eyes were filled with hope.
Lu Jing found it hard to bear such a blatantly hopeful gaze, tried to avoid it, but was forcefully pulled.
Her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell down.
Of course, she checked his chest immediately.
Given her medical professionalism, this person was indeed a patient!
Jiang Ye smiled and said warmly:
"I didn’t hold on to you just now, knowing Lu’er would be worried, being careful."
Only then did Lu Jing roll her eyes a few times, pulling back her hands, but around her waist, she was tightly embraced:
"It hurts, can you be gentler?"
He always used so much strength, it was flesh after all.
It’s not like a dead person wouldn’t feel pain.
Yet she didn’t realize that her attitude seemed to have softened significantly.
Even, there was a bit of unintentional indulgence.
Forget it, considering him being injured upon an injury, she didn’t want to fuss over it too much.
Hearing the woman in his arms cry out in pain, Jiang Ye finally lessened his grip, a satisfied expression on his face.
Afterward, neither of them spoke.
But the atmosphere grew increasingly ambiguous and continuously thickened.

Lu Jing closed her eyes and slowly said:
"Your shampoo and shower gel."
Is this what they call awkward small talk?
The man suddenly blurted out:
"Then why doesn’t it smell on me?"
"Must be your sense of smell that’s got issues!"
What else could it be?
Lu Jing rolled her eyes again and pushed him a bit:
"Have you hugged enough?"
How could that be possible?
"Not enough, a lifetime wouldn’t be enough!" he said, tightening his embrace even more.
Lu Jing was quite speechless, but she knew it was useless to say anything.
Just then, a series of ’thud thud thud’ knocking sounds could be heard.
"Let go, I’ll go open the door."
