Jiang Yao suppressed her laughter when she noticed Lu Xingzhi’s expression. He was obviously overjoyed, but he was trying hard not to show it.
Jiang Yao exhaled a sigh. “If you ever make me furious again, I will probably forgive you if you grill a fish for me.”
Lu Xingzhi’s grilled seafood was delicious. The fish’s skin was crispy, but the meat was fresh and soft. It did not smell fishy, but it did have a mild plant scent. However, it did not conceal the fish’s freshness. Lu Xingzhi was clearly skilled at controlling the amount of fish used.
Jiang Yao had a small appetite. She was full after just one fish that she could not continue to eat. Lu Xingzhi enticed her for some time, but she refused to eat anymore. So, he ate the remaining two fishes when she confirmed that she no longer wanted them.
Jiang Yao stood there watching as Lu Xingzhi ate. Then, she reached out to touch his pants to see if they were dry. However, just as she stretched her hand outward, he grabbed her hand so quickly that it was as if he had an extra pair of eyes.
“What? Do you want to pull my pants off again?” Lu Xingzhi cast a glance at Jiang Yao.
“I just want to check if your pants are dry,” Jiang Yao said blankly.
Lu Xingzhi smiled and held her hand. He allowed her to touch his pants. “ALmost. They will be dried in no time.”
He did not intend to let go of her hand after that. Instead, he kissed her on the lips.
“It is made of oil.”
Jiang Yao’s tone was mocking, but she did not withdraw her hand. Instead, she drew closer to him and rested her chest on his.
“Are you tired?” Lu Xingzhi observed her sluggish appearance and asked, “Lean against me for a few moments. Let’s talk about it again. I will have you back before the sun comes up.”
“Are you going to sleep tonight?”
Jiang Yao grew more energized. “We didn’t leave before dawn today, and after a long day, you brought me here without any rest. Are you going to sleep tonight?”
“You’re not willing to share a tent with me, and I would like to spend more time with you. Other than sneaking around like this, what else can we do?” Lu Xingzhi grabbed her nose.
Lu Xingzhi knew Jiang Yao would never let him stay in the tent and sleep with her that night.
However, his wife was there. How could he sleep if she would not let him see or embrace her?
Instead of resting, he wanted to hug her to his heart’s delight.
“Is it that important for you to complete that task in a few days?” Jiang Yao sat up straight after releasing her grasp.
Lu Xingzhi’s response was solemn. “Yes, I have to do that.”
When he saw her disapproving expression, he said, “I haven’t seen you in a day, but I have been daydreaming about you. And now, I really do get to see you.”
Lu Xingzhi did not expect that he knew so much. He had memorized all of the poetry and phrases in the textbooks, as well as all the famous poems and phrases he had read in the extracurricular books, but those were for the exam.
He did not know how the authors composed those poems.
Whenever he thought of Jiang Yao, he would recall certain words he had forgotten after several years at university.
He was slow to recognize those words’ emotion and creative vision.
