Lu Xingzhi had originally thought that such a wound would be healed in a few days' time, but he was over-enthusiastic in training the other day and had reopened the wound. The wound had just begun to scab over today, and it still looked quite ugly, the skin around it also looked horrifying. If he were to take off his clothes, he was afraid that Jiang Yao would cry and feel disgusted by it. He would not be able to cope with her reaction if that were the case, hence he was doing his best to keep it from her.
When it was nighttime, he thought that with the lights off, she would not be able to see it.
Jiang Yao did not expect that after all they had been through, he would still try to hide something like this. She felt her heart clench uncomfortably at the thought.
She let out a dissatisfied sound in his arms, her heart a wave of anger as she pushed away from him angrily, huffing, "Fine, try your hardest to keep up your lies then! Don't take off your clothes even when we sleep tonight if you can do that!"
Lu Xingzhi could not understand why Jiang Yao was so confident that he was injured, he thought that he had been flawless in covering up since the moment they met up. Even when she had touched it by accident a short while ago, he thought that his cover-up had been perfect.
Seeing that Jiang Yao had really lost her temper, Lu Xingzhi regretted that he had so vehemently denied his injury, now he could no longer change the act he started.
While he was wondering how to handle the sleeping arrangements later, Jiang Yao left the bedroom and had wandered into the living room.
"How long have you been living here? It feels very empty and bare." The kitchen looked untouched, not even a single bowl in it. There was a dining table in the living room and a few fairly old chairs. The only other thing in the room was the radio that he had placed on it previously.
