Chapter 2206: Which Part Stinks?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Yao snorted as she slapped Lu Xingzhi’s foot. “Get your stinky feet off me!”
“You washed my feet the day before. Which part stinks the most?” How could Lu Xingzhi have missed Jiang Yao’s eagerness to speak with him? The letter had to have made her unhappy.
“Your feet do not stink; your entire body does. I am eating. Do not bother me!” Jiang Yao took the bowl and sat to the side. She lowered her head to eat and turned away from Lu Xingzhi.
Her appetite was poor, and the food reminded her of chewing wax.
Lu Xingzhi, who had been given the cold shoulder again, placed his feet back on the blanket. Jiang Yao was eating. He feared that her temper would affect her eating if he continued to bother her. So, Lu Xingzhi sat there waiting patiently.
Jiang Yao got up after a half-hour and cleaned up the remaining mess. She did not bother Lu Xingzhi after she washed the dishes. Instead, she dashed to the other two beds and began conversing with them.
Her laughter sounded like spring. Lu Xingzhi’s heart, on the other hand, was as cold as winter.
“Yaoyao,” Lu Xingzhi said to Jiang Yao. Unfortunately, no one heard him.
Lu Xingzhi appeared to be clenching his teeth. When the laughter died down, he exclaimed, “Argh!” The laughter stopped, and someone gasped. Everyone in the ward could hear his agonizing cries.
Jiang Yao almost ran over, her steps trembling. When she noticed Lu Xingzhi clutching his waist, she rushed over to him and scolded him harshly, “Did you hurt yourself? Didn’t I warn you not to move? Can’t you listen to what I said? Don’t you understand pain? Why do you keep moving around? Do you want to lose more blood?”
Lu Xingzhi was so angry with Jiang Yao that he had forgotten what he wanted.
He had known Jiang Yao for a long time, and that was the first time Jiang Yao had been so hostile to him.
However, Lu Xingzhi’s heart softened when he saw her reddened eyes, and he apologized. “I am sorry, I was pretending.”
Jiang Yao’s hand, which was checking on his injuries, stopped moving immediately. She was so enraged that her heart pounded for a long time before she managed not to press down on his wound and make him feel the pain.
She was also worried. How could she have forgotten about Lu Xingzhi’s personality?
He would remain quiet even if he were in pain.
He could grit his teeth and not say anything, just like that day on the phone when he was severely beaten. What did that sliver of pain he unintentionally drew mean for him?
If he shouted until everyone knew, he must have done so on purpose for her to hear.
“Yaoyao.” Lu Xingzhi sighed and reached out to wipe Jiang Yao’s tears. Then he reached out and hugged Jiang Yao gently. “I’m sorry.”
That apology was different from the one he had just said.
“Why are you sorry? Aren’t you proud, seeing how sad I am?” Jiang Yao pursed her lips, but she could not bear the thought of pushing him away.
“Give me the letter. Let’s pretend that I didn’t write it.” Lu Xingzhi magically found the letter Jiang Yao had hidden in her pocket.
“You!” He had taken it out of her pocket!
