To say Lu Xingzhi was exasperated was an understatement. No wonder Jiang Yao refused all of his advances.
However, Lu Xingzhi was recovering faster than Jiang Yao expected. The medicine formulated in the lab was way more effective than the ones prepared by the hospital itself.
She initially thought it would take two months for him to recover completely, but looking at his condition, he needed no more than half a month to be discharged from the hospital and recoup in the platoon. Perhaps he could gradually get back into his daily training in a month's time.
"Colonel Lin is going back to the platoon in half a month's time to recoup and rest. I will go crazy if I stay here alone for another two months." Lu Xingzhi was honest in his claims.
"Seems like you should be able to do the same as well, "Jiang Yao said. "Once you return to the platoon, I will go back to school too. Do you still want an early discharge?"
Lu Xingzhi was slightly pleased to hear that he could return to Jin City earlier, only to have his hopes squashed by what followed.
"So, you are not going to stay here with me?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
"Except for intense activities and exercises, there is nothing much to be concerned about." Jiang Yao lowered her voice, "I have to go back for my classes."
Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao with an intense gaze, how he wished she would always be at his side.
"Let's not talk about the future. I wonder what is written in the letter?" Just like a magician, Jiang Yao took out a piece of crumpled paper from her pocket and opened it. She took a glance at the contents and made the weirdest of expressions.
