NovelEnglishJiang Yao's feelings were trapped in her throat. She rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhi, snorted, and moved away.
"You are upset? Hit me if you are upset. Don't dismiss me." Jiang Yao's habit of offering him the back of her head became obvious to Lu Xingzhi. She would point the back of her head at him if she were upset.
Yes, one might describe that as chilly and violent.
Jiang Yao abruptly addressed him again. "Lu Xingzhi."

"Be quiet."
"Okay, I will shut up now."
Lu Xingzhi did not say anything, but his hands and feet kept bothering Jiang Yao. He would occasionally rub the soles of his feet on her legs and touch her hair with his hands.
His harassment almost enraged Jiang Yao. In the end, she had no choice but to back down and compromise. She closed her eyes and fell asleep--out of sight, out of mind.
"Why didn't you do that sooner?" Lu Xingzhi murmured quietly. He stopped bothering Jiang Yao after realizing she was exhausted.
Even though the bed was huge when the two beds were joined, Jiang Yao was still concerned that it might force Lu Xingzhi down, so she curled up on her side and slept peacefully.
Pregnant women slept soundly. Even Lu Xingzhi, who had only slept for half a day, was exhausted from staring at her.
Jiang Yao knew Lu Xingzhi was looking at her as she closed her eyes. She could not be bothered with Lu Xingzhi any longer since she was too tired. Jiang Yao had no idea when she had fallen asleep.
She simply assumed that with him by her side, she would be unable to sleep for the rest of the night.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile Lu Xingzhi was in the hospital in Lanning, some of his comrades visited him there.
The ward was buzzing the following day. People came and departed, but those who came sincerely cared for Lu Xingzhi. As a result, Lu Xingzhi was cheerful that morning.
"Colonel Lu, I heard the other captain's leg was amputated. That was fortunate for him. He was so proud that he ignored other people's advice and caused the death of so many comrades. That was truly terrible."
"He was in the same hospital and had many people with him. Didn't a female specialist help a patient do a reconstruction surgery last time? That patient almost recovered, and aside from a scar, his leg seemed fine. I heard they were trying to track down this specialist."
"Yes, his leg has been amputated. Do you think the specialist can reattach his leg even if they found her? What good is that? His actions already destroyed his future."
A few of them discussed Chen Qijie with Lu Xingzhi. Then, Jiang Yao emerged from the bathroom, carrying a platter of fruits, and strolled over to them.
They brought the fruits when they arrived. Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi had only reached the night before, so they had nothing to serve the visitors.
"Don't do so much work, Mrs. Lu. You're pregnant. Colonel Lu might punish us for making you serve us." One of the soldiers joked with her. He took the platter from Jiang Yao as if he was concerned she might tire herself out if she held it any longer.
"By the way, we heard that you've been very helpful in Damnu town, Mrs. Lu. The hospital managed to save many of our friends because of you."
