Chapter 796: There is no point in begging
It was the still broad daylight—he must have been possessed!
Jiang Yao pushed Lu Xingzhi away and then forced him onto the bed. Lu Xingzhi struggled at first, but he did not resist and allowed her to pull him onto the bed when he saw that she meant to bring him toward the bed. Once there, he climbed onto the bed and laid down. Then he patted the space beside him. “Wife, come and rest with me. I haven’t slept in the mountains for three days.”
That sentence was quite true. He did not sleep, not even for a second, because he wanted to use the time to search for the rest of the female soldiers. He was afraid that he did not have enough time, and he would not find them. Furthermore, he was not familiar with that forest; it was not easy to find those female soldiers.
“Close your eyes and sleep well!” Jiang Yao knew that Lu Xingzhi must not have had a good rest in the past few days, so she forcefully pushed him onto the bed. “I won’t disturb you. I’ll go next door and look for Xiao An.”
“You’re not allowed to go!” Lu Xingzhi hugged Jiang Yao’s waist. With a burst of strength, he carried her onto the bed and pressed her firmly beneath him. He asked condescendingly, “I’m here—where else do you want to go?”.
Jiang Yao put her palm on her forehead. “I don’t want to disturb your rest.”
Lu Xingzhi thought it was rare that he still had some time to be with his wife. Would he use it to sleep? Well, unless he had gone crazy.
“I don’t need to rest. Compared to that, I prefer to do something else.” Lu Xingzhi snorted. “If I don’t get a reward for winning first place, then I don’t need it. It’s something I earned. A reward would be meaningless.”
Jiang Yao’s temples buzzed. Did he still want to bug her? Did he pretend as if he had been wronged instead?
It seemed like he wanted to take advantage of her soft-hearted nature.
“Yaoyao, do you remember what I said before I sent you to the airport in Jinshi? You said that every time we separated, you would promise me one wish. And last time, I wanted to hear you call me husband. I was delighted when you did that. Then, after your plane took off, I sat alone in the car and watched for a very, very long time.”
Jiang Yao had wanted to plug her ears so that she would not need to listen to anything he said. However, his words made her heart tremble slightly.
She understood how it felt to send someone they loved away and then looked forward to the next time they would meet.
It was like when she sent him to the airport during the summer vacation. She would stay to watch his figure as it became smaller when he walked away. She would remain until his plane took off. She remembered how empty her heart had felt—it did not feel good, indeed.
She had not loved him as much as she did then, but she had felt so sad when he left.
Lu Xingzhi had always loved her dearly. How terrible would he feel when he saw her left?
Jiang Yao had told herself not to be so soft-hearted. However, she did not realize that Lu Xingzhi had understood her well—her persistence would only last for ten seconds.
“Yaoyao!” It seemed like a sigh was about to escape from his lips, but it was not a complete one. However, his reluctance had affected her heart. “I will return to Jin City tomorrow. When we do meet again, it will be before the new year. Do the math. How much longer do we have?”
As he spoke, his legs moved away from her body. He gently rubbed the top of her head with his palm. “We are going our separate ways again, so I have a wish. Do you want to fulfill it for me? My wish is a very simple one.”
