It made him fall into it willingly and pull her into that burning world together.
The kiss made their body burn with passion. Lu Xingzhi used his self-control to end the kiss. Instead, he carried her to the bed to do something else.
It had been many days since someone had stayed in that house. Unfortunately, she was a germaphobe, and the house had not been cleaned yet. The bedsheet had not been changed yet; those were the things that did not take too long to fix.
When Lu Xingzhi released Jiang Yao, his body had already reacted, so he went to the window and stood there for two minutes. It took him two minutes of standing in the cold wind before he finally calmed down. After he was done, he returned to Jiang Yao's side. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Jiang Yao's forehead. "I'll go clean up. You take your time to tidy up."
Then, he walked out of the bedroom; he felt satisfied. He even helped Jiang Yao close the bedroom door to show that he would not peek at her.
Jiang Yao put her things away and hid those that she needed to hide. When she walked out of the bedroom, Lu Xingzhi did not do any cleaning. Instead, he sat on a chair in the living room and talked to someone on the phone. She listened to the tone and content of his words; it was probably his old colleague, Old Liu, that he had asked her to deliver the new year's goods.
That person was from the same country as Sergeant Ge. He had helped Lu Xingzhi arrange a job for Sergeant Ge, who had retired from the army.
Old Liu must have received the New Year's goods that she had sent him, so he had called Lu Xingzhi about it.
