    In terms of Nanjiang Medical School, the only predicament that she couldn''t forgo was her best friend,


    Wen Xuehui. Not only were they coursemates, but they were bunkmates too. They shared a wonderful


    friendship throughout their studies.

    Thinking of Wen Xuehui''s bad romance in her previous life, Jiang Yao decided that she would make


    sure Wen Xuehui wouldn''t repeat the same mistake when she went to Nanjiang Medical School this


    time.


    Although it was a summer holiday, the schools where her inws worked were still conducting summer


    holiday sses, so they had to go to work. At around ten-thirty, everyone returned to their respective


    rooms to rest.


    When Lu Xingzhi opened the door and entered their room, he saw Jiang Yao holding a book. It was as


    if she was in a daze while reading the book.


    "You''ve just recovered from your fever, so don''t read too much and rest early. We''ll leave for the city at


    about eight o''clock tomorrow morning." Lu Xingzhi waited but he didn''t get any response from Jiang


    Yao. He walked over and took the book off her hand. It was only after seeing her gasp in surprise and


    looked back at him with her widened eyes that he was certain that she had just been in a daze.


    He turned the rm clock on the table to half-past seven and ced it in front of Jiang Yao, pointing to


    the time he had set. Without another word, he grabbed the clothes from the wardrobe and went into the


    bathroom.


    After regaining herposure, Jiang Yao''s gaze followed Lu Xingzhi until he entered the bathroom and


    closed the door behind him. Then, she turned to look at the clock on the table. She gaped and


    acknowledged his remark after her mind was in ce.


    Putting the book back on the shelf, Jiang Yao went toy down on the bed. The bed in the Lu family


    was a European-style white wooden bed frame. The mattress wasfortable and sturdy. The


    bedsheet was all imported silk fabrics. The Lu family had always been willing to invest in high-quality


    and functional home items.


    Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, Jiang Yao quickly covered herself under the thin quilt


    and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. Although her eyes were shut, her senses were exceptionally


    sensitive.


    She could hear Lu Xingzhi''s footsteps loud and clear in the quiet room. Following the sound of his


    footsteps, Jiang Yao imagined his pacing path in the room and created a map in her mind. He stepped


    out of the bathroom and pulled the curtains, and then stood in front of the wardrobe as if he was


    looking for something. After a while, the sound of his footsteps echoed again.


    After that, she felt the other side of the mattress sinking slightly. The sound of the nightstand switch


    flicked and the light in the room dimmed.


    After hey down, he didn''t reach over to take the quilt to cover himself. Instead, Jiang Yao could feel


    him rolling over and facing her. A faint lemon scent radiated from his freshly showered body it was the


    usual smell of bath products used at home.


    Within five minutes, Jiang Yao heard Lu Xingzhi''s rhythmic breathing and light snoring. He had fallen


    asleep.


    At this point, Jiang Yao quietly opened her eyes in the dark and turned over carefully like a thief.


    Eventually, she was facing him and staring at his face with her bold and wide-opened eyes.


    Even when she was disregarding the marriage, Jiang Yao had to admit that she found Lu Xingzhi


    handsome and attractive when she first saw him.


    He had sharp and captivating eyes, a tall nose, and thin lips. It was the perfectbination of a good-


    looking man.


    Probably because of his training at the base most of the time, Lu Xingzhi wasn''t as fair as most of the


    male students around Jiang Yao. Instead, he sported a healthy tannedplexion and looked much


    better than most soldiers she''d ever seen.


    He wore a ck singlet and loose pants to sleep. As he was sleeping without a quilt, she could clearly


    see his chest undting steadily.


    "So, this is a living Lu Xingzhi," Jiang Yao whispered silently.


    Gazing at Lu Xingzhi and feeling his consistent breathing, this sensation moved her to the point of


    tears.
