Chapter 1821 Yes, You’re Dreaming
“Mrs. Lu, did you rush back here in the middle of the night? The sky
is still dark!” The young soldier on duty scratched his head. “Colonel
Lu also just returned in the morning. Did you rush back just
because you heard the news?”
“It wasn’t far anyway, so I came back early,” Jiang Yao said before
walking briskly into the compound.
When she reached a place where there was no one around, she
carried her luggage and ran the rest of the way. Other people would
have had to walk for quite a while, but she managed to shorten the
time by more than half.
She had the key with her, so she entered the house without alerting
Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi was very tired. In addition, he was at home. Therefore,
he slept so deeply that he did not wake up even when Jiang Yao
pushed the bedroom door open and walked into the room.
Jiang Yao did not turn on the lights. She walked to the side of the
bed in the dark and leaned in to look at the sleeping man’s face.
He had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not
rested for a long time. It was no wonder that he sounded so tired
when he was on the phone. He could not even hide it.
That man was already so tired, yet he still wanted to rest for only
half a night before rushing to look for her.
Jiang Yao lowered her head and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Then, she reached out to touch the stubble that had already
appeared on his chin.
Lu Xingzhi was a grown man. Even though he did not care much
about his appearance, it was rare for him to be so unkempt. He
must have fallen asleep after calling her, so he did not even bother to shave.
Jiang Yao muttered softly, “B*stard, you always make my heart
ache.” Her heart began to ache when she saw him like that. She
could not help but kiss his lips again.
Lu Xingzhi woke up in a daze. It was very dark in the room when he
opened his eyes, but he felt someone kissing him.
“Jiang Yao?”
Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and touched the head of the person
kissing him. “Am I dreaming?”
“Yes, you’re dreaming,” Jiang Yao replied with a chuckle.
The next second, he lifted her into the bed. She had not even taken
off her shoes, but she was already lying on the bed. He held her
tightly in his embrace.
“Since I’m dreaming, I can be more greedy.” Lu Xingzhi reached out
to look for her hand, then gently rubbed them. He said, “Sleep.
When you wake up, you can settle the score with those who didn’t
listen to you.”
Jiang Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry as she listened to
Lu Xingzhi’s snoring. Did he really think he was dreaming or already
know that she was back?
He could fall asleep in a second just by holding her. How sleepy was
he?
Jiang Yao moved and found a more comfortable position in his arms.
She kicked the shoes off her feet and pressed her ear against his
chest to listen to his heartbeat. At that moment, she felt an
indescribable sense of satisfaction and happiness.
Even though his body temperature made her feel hot that summer
night, she still could not bear to push him away.
The heat was tolerable, but she did not want to wake him again.
Jiang Yao did not know when she fell asleep, but it was already
eleven in the morning when she woke up.
As soon as she moved, she immediately heard his voice from above
her head. “You’re awake? You’re sleeping like a pig. Those who don’t
know would think you haven’t slept for a few days.”
Jiang Yao looked up at the person above her and grinned. “You’ve
been awake for a long time?” However, he was still in the same
position as the previous night when he hugged her to sleep.
