Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 89

Lu Xingzhi was casually eating his porridge but Jiang Yao's joyful expression slowly changed into a shocked look, then to a face full of excitement.

She was rejoicing due to his existence. She was then excited because he could send her to her university.

There was no way to fake those emotions. Those were the true feelings reflected in the eyes of a human being.

"Happy?" Lu Xingzhi asked her, despite knowing the answer.

Jiang Yao hid her emotions immediately. She put one of her arms on the table and supported her cheek with her other hand. Then, she drawled, "No, I'm not..."

However, her statement was not convincing at all because she was trying very hard to hold back her smile when she was talking. In the end, she still laughed.

"Don't get too excited too soon." Lu Xingzhi did not want to throw a wet blanket over her on purpose. "I used up my New Year holiday in order to get back here. Therefore, I can't come back to celebrate the New Year with you."

Without any surprise, he then saw the smile on the woman's face crumple gradually.

"I can't come back, but you can celebrate with me at my unit." Lu Xingzhi said.

Jiang Yao pouted. She did not reply whether she would be going.

"The food prepared for the new year's celebration at my unit isn't too bad. The buns there smell better than these, and the dumplings are even made according to the elders' recipe." Lu Xingzhi did not see any response from Jiang Yao, so he compromised and said, "You'll know after you visit during the National Day,"

The set of clothes that she was wearing was not the one she had worn yesterday. It was a clean set of clothes which was brought by Mrs. Lu.

"Where are you going?" Lu Xingzhi asked her while looking at her all dressed up.

Jiang Yao was stunned and stared at Lu Xingzhi blankly. A few seconds later, she asked him back softly, "Didn't you just say that you are going to bring me down for a walk?"

"Just go for a walk in your hospital gown. Did you purposely get changed for that? We're only going to have a walk around the hospital. It's not going to be far away." That was actually the first time Lu Xingzhi saw the clumsy and silly side of Jiang Yao. Surprisingly, she was very cute. "Did the nurse run check up on you this morning?"

"She came in right after you went out. She took a blood sample and measured my blood pressure. Everything's alright and she even re-applied my ointment." Jiang Yao said that while raising her arm and pointed at the needle mark which was left on her. "See, evidence."
