Can't Take My Eyes Off You (WN)
chapter-526

The rest of her days in the platoon were spent in contentment and joy.

Jiang Yao’s mornings were spent doing arm-strength training, afternoons were dedicated to shooting practice with Lu Xingzhi while the evenings were used to give training on first-aid knowledge to the soldiers. Time flew by as Jiang Yao was in the thick of things and suddenly it was time for her to return to Nanjiang City.

The training program took ten days to complete. Aside from the altercation with Lin Shunhe on the first day, the rest of the program proceeded without hiccups. Those who were initially doubtful were silenced by the way Jiang Yao conducted herself and how ruthless she could be if she wanted to.

The more diligent soldiers were especially fond of Jiang Yao and were quite sad to see Jiang Yao leave.

Lu Xingzhi felt the pain more than anyone.

As a person who did not express his emotions outwardly, he seemed impassive during the day, unperturbed by the fact that Jiang Yao was leaving. Yet when night fell, his persona would undergo a complete turnaround.

Particularly in the last few days, he was especially aggressive in bed, giving her as much love as he could.

Jiang Yao was very busy during the day, and she still had to entertain Lu Xingzhi at night. After a few days of exertion, she was starting to feel the strain even though her physical and mental fitness was impeccable.

On the other hand, Lu Xingzhi, who was supposed to be nursing his health seemed inexhaustible.

As the final day rolled in, Jiang Yao did not go to the firing range because she had to pack up her belongings.

While she was at it, Lu Xingzhi was hot on her tails, following her wherever she went. As she stood packing her clothes in the bedroom, he sat on the bed and looked at her, and as she went to the bathroom to get a few things, he stood up and trailed behind her. The same thing happened when she went to the balcony.

Jiang Yao heeded no attention to him; she avoided his gaze.

“Come here and help me take the trash out.” Jiang Yao took out a trash bag from the kitchen and passed it to Lu Xingzhi. “You can go do some workout after that. You are getting better way faster than I expected, it’s time for you to proceed with your training gradually.”

“You are going back tomorrow, those can wait.” Lu Xingzhi took the trash bag and went out.

The dumpster was located in a place further away, about a hundred meters away from where their house was located.

Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi from the balcony and breathed a sigh of relief. She then returned to the kitchen to look for more trash.

That afternoon, passersby in the platoon saw a strange scene unfolding in front of their eyes.

Captain Lu, who was supposedly nursing his health at home, went back and forth to the dumpster at least half a dozen times, each time with only a little amount of trash in his hands.

It was obviously possible for the trash to be disposed of in one go, but Lu Xingzhi did a few trips and seemed to be enjoying it as well.

It was not too long after when rumors about Captain Lu going insane because of the imminent departure of his wife started spreading around the barracks.
