Chapter 2260: My Duty
However, because Lu Xingzhi adored the bouquet that Zhou Junmin had given him, Jiang Yao went to find a vase for him.
The vase was a soda bottle. The bottle was short and fat, making it ideal for flower arrangements right now.
After inspecting the flowers, Jiang Yao placed them on the coffee table in the living room. She secretly laughed at how awkward and cute Lu Xingzhi could be at times, seeing as he did not even look away.
When Zhou Junmin gave them to him at the door, he still had a look of disgust on his face. When he took them, he quickly threw them to her. However, he actually liked them very much.
Mr. Jiang began packing his belongings after his return. He and Mrs. Lu had an afternoon flight back to their hometown. Apart from the time spent on the road, they did not have much time to pack their belongings.
The things she bought for her father were relatively simple—food, necessities, and clothes. Jiang Yao bought more stuff for Mrs. Lu. There were some cosmetics and jewelry.
Mrs. Lu and Mr. Jiang left for the army base after lunch. Mrs. Lu cleaned up the study overnight the previous night. All the beds in the study were brand new. Mrs. Lu purchased a finished wooden bed in the city. It was not a large single bed, but it was adequate. The quilt, bed cover, and pillow were all spotless.
Mrs. Jiang was about to leave for her lunch break when she noticed the brand new bed inside. She could not help but laugh and shake her head. “Your mother is spending too much money,” she said to Lu Xingzhi. “I will only be here for a few months. Is it really necessary to spend that much money?”
Mrs. Jiang’s heart, however, remained warm when she saw all of that.
That was how the human mind worked. Mrs. Jiang did not feel bad about sleeping in the study, nor did she feel bad about her life there. Mrs. Lu, on the other hand, took the initiative to make those arrangements thoughtfully. Mrs. Jiang was always aware of being respected and valued.
“1t’s my duty.” Lu Xingzhi did not know that Mrs. Lu had done all that, but he was also grateful to his mother.
Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao left the study after Mrs. Jiang decided to rest. When they returned to the living room, they noticed Zhou Junmin standing at the main door, poking his head like a thief.
“Come in.” Lu Xingzhi shouted at the door. Zhou Junmin stood at the door and shrank his head in thought for a few seconds before he went in.
He probably ran here; his forehead was full of sweat.
“Colonel.” IX„7hen Zhou Junmin entered, he saw Lu Xingzhi walk to the sofa and sit before following him. After he sat down, his gaze could not help but be drawn to the bouquet in the bottle.
“Colonel, those flowers…” Zhou Junmin took a sip of the drink and pointed at the table with a chuckle. “Why did you put them in the bottle?”
“My wife thinks they’re pretty. If she likes them, she can put them in a bottle,” Lu Xingzhi said without changing his expression..
