Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 1975: A Good Night’s Sleep

Jiang Yao did not get any sleep until dawn. Then, someone knocked on their door, and she opened it with a sleepy face.

“Mrs. Lu, you are home?”

Zhou Junmin was carrying breakfast outside the door. He returned with Lu Xingzhi the previous night. He noticed that Lu Xingzhi was feverish when they got back. Then, he heard people at the cafeteria mention that Lu Xingzhi had not been there that morning. He also went to Lu Xingzhi’s office but did not see him, so he decided to see Lu Xingzhi, and he brought some healthy breakfast with him.

Zhou Junmin thought that Lu Xingzhi might have fallen ill.

“Yes, I got home last night. Come in.” Jiang Yao gave Zhou Junmin a pair of slippers.

“Colonel was sick yesterday, right? You must have cared for him all night and didn’t rest well. You even have dark circles under your eyes.” Zhou Junmin handed the breakfast to Jiang Yao. “Here, eat some breakfast. I’ll get another one for Colonel. Is he awake? How is he?”

“He had a high fever last night. He kept mumbling the whole night. Luckily, his fever has subsided. But not before tormenting me the whole night too.” Jiang Yao took the breakfast and thanked him. She did not stand in the ceremony with Zhou Junmin. She was hungry, and Lu Xingzhi was still sleeping.

Zhou Junmin said, “It’s all because of the weather. It continued to rain, and we had to keep repairing the road. It looks like it will collapse again. We’ve been rushing the repairs, and we didn’t even get any rest. Many soldiers had fallen sick when we got back yesterday. Many were sent to the infirmary, so the doctors and nurses were busy too. Those in serious conditions were transferred to the city hospital this morning.”

Jiang Yao was a doctor, and she had excellent medical skills. Therefore, Zhou Junmin felt that it was not a big deal for Jiang Yao to deal with more serious issues than a fever.

However, it might be hard on Jiang Yao. He knew that Lu Xingzhi took great care of her, and that night, she had to take care of him instead.

“You can go to the infirmary to take a look later. If there’s anything serious, you can call me. I can take a look. Also, never delay treatment for a fever. Don’t be like your colonel who thinks that everything will be better after a nap.”

“Okay!”

Zhou Junmin nodded. “Please, eat while it’s hot. I’ll go to the infirmary. But before that, I’ll go to the cafeteria to get another breakfast for Colonel Lu.”

Jiang Yao thanked him and watched Zhou Junmin leave with the umbrella. She was just about to sit at the dining table to eat breakfast when she heard a sound from the study.

It was as if Lu Xingzhi had bumped into something. There was a loud bang.

She was so scared that she ran into the study room without touching the food. She saw Lu Xingzhi sitting on the ground, rubbing his head.

That scene was inexplicably funny. Jiang Yao burst out laughing. “Lu Xingzhi, how old are you? Did you roll off the bed?”

Jiang Yao misunderstood the situation. Lu Xingzhi did not roll off the bed. He did not have much strength, so he fell after he got up. It hurt when he hit his head on the bed corner.

Lu Xingzhi heard his wife’s laughter coming from the door. He looked up at

Jiang Yao. Then he remembered that Jiang Yao had returned the previous night. She even wiped his body, helped him into his pajamas, and made the bed for him.

It seemed that she had stayed by his side for a long time the previous night. She gave him water and even fed him some medicine..
