Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 17

Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Xingzhi and chuckled. "Sister, is it true? That's so funny. What happened then?"

"Then, he always sat by himself as no one wanted to sit next to him," Lu Yuqing said with a giggle. "His classmates were all afraid of him but he didn't seem to catch that, still putting on the solemn and serious face. Anyway, he didn't have the time and mood to have fun at the time. All he did was study because he wanted to apply to Jindo Military College."

Lu Yuqing sighed and continued, "Three times. From the time he was young till now, I've only seen him smile so happily three times. The first time was when he received the letter of admission from Jindo Military College. The second time was when he came home at the end of the year before last for unknown reasons. The third time was at your wedding. A few of his friends said that he laughed like a fool, especially during the wedding banquet. From what I can see now, it's kind of similar to the foolish smile!"

"Eat," Lu Xingzhi commanded, sounding like a monarch who gave orders. He restored his usual deadpan expression when Lu Yuqing indulged in her memory.

After speaking, Lu Xingzhi kept his head down and ate his lunch quickly. His fast eating pace was trained at the base. It was as fast as a tornado sweeping through the dining table. Although he would deliberately slow down when he dined at home, the speed still caught the slow-eater Jiang Yao by surprise.

"It's so rare that we get to eat together as a family. I'll grab some wine, let's have a drink together," Mrs. Lu announced suddenly. She raised to her feet, went to the kitchen with a smile, and took out her homemade wine from the fridge.

It was such a great pleasure to drink some chilled homemade wine in the hot summer. Even Lu Xingzhi adored the taste.
