Chapter 2199: I Forgive You

Unfortunately, Lu Xingzhi did not understand. He wanted to look at Jiang Yao without her realizing it. Unfortunately, he moved the wooden bed, and the creaking sound woke Jiang Yao.

Therefore, Lu Xingzhi turned his head and saw Jiang Yao’s figure straightened. He was stunned for a second, and then he smiled. “Why don’t you sleep somewhere else?”

“No, I have to stay with you. What if something unexpected happens to you at night?” How could Jiang Yao bear find another place to sleep at such a critical moment? “Besides, I slept very soundly last night and am energetic now. I’ll be fine if you are okay.”

She could not sleep a few days ago because she was so worried, so she took sleeping pills. However, after listening to his breathing the previous night, Jiang Yao realized that the sound of a person’s breathing could sometimes be the world’s most magical and effective sleeping pill.

Even though she could not lie in his arms and act coquettishly while allowing him to hug and kiss her, she was content to see him that way.

“Have you been worried these past few days?” Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head. “I’m sorry.” He was the one who should have been apologizing, not her.

“Yes, I forgive you.” Jiang Yao rubbed Lu Xingzhi’s palm contentedly. “So you have to listen to Doctor Jiang’s words these few days. You have to take your medicine and rest.’

“Yes, I will listen to Doctor Jiang’s words.” Lu Xingzhi smiled.

Her forgiveness was straightforward. She did not hesitate and did not feel aggrieved at all. However, it made his heart ache.

Jiang Yao said, “I’m done sleeping. Go wash up and eat something. After I eat, I’ll go to the ward to see if there’s anything else I can do to help. Those are your comrades. I’ll help them as much as I can. When Liang Yueze and Old Master Liang come back, they can accompany you.”

“I don’t need anyone to accompany me. I’ll wait for Doctor Jiang to come back.”

Jiang Yao thought that Lu Xingzhi’s obedience was too cute. He kept calling her Doctor Jiang, so she laughed.

That guy probably felt guilty, so he tried his best to make her happy.

“Were you there when Qian Yunen called me that day? He kicked you and hit you, but you did not make a sound.” Jiang Yao raised her hand, wanting to hit Lu Xingzhi to vent her anger. However, she did not want to hit him again. “You’re not allowed to do that next time.”

“There’s no next time,” Lu Xingzhi said. “I can die, but you can’t be in danger.”

A simple sentence expressed his emotions at that time. Even though he was covered in bruises and was kicked and hit again and again, and the shrapnel on his face was embedded deep into his flesh, the pain almost made him faint. However, he had to keep her safe, so he gritted his teeth and did not say anything.

Liang Yueze and Old Master Liang came earlier than Jiang Yao thought. They also brought Jiang Yao’s breakfast—soup and bread.

“Xingzhi is on a liquid diet. Master Cheng will send some over later. You still have work to do, so eat more. The soup is nouris.h.i.+ng.” The old man smiled. “The taste is top-notch too.”

Jiang Yao smiled. Some could say that men were not as intuitive as women. She was still experiencing some morning sickness, so she did not have much appet.i.te when she smelled the soup’s strong fragrance.

However, Jiang Yao did not refuse the food. Old Master Liang had been too kind to her. She thought she would only drink a few mouthfuls. However, she did not expect to finish the whole thing. Everyone, including Lu Xingzhi, was very happy to see that..
