She remembered his face clearly. Because he had died in so much pain, his bloodless expression was incomparably ferocious. When he was found, his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
Jiang Yao still couldn't believe it. How much pain must it have been to be buried alive? To be able to let a soldier, who had endured hardships and pain, leave this world in such a state.
Jiang Yao carefully shifted her position and leaned towards Lu Xingzhi. She couldn't help but quietly raise her hand and gently touch his eyebrows with her fingertips. It was as though she was using her fingers as a paintbrush, carefully and gently tracing his face.
"Not sleeping?"
"Ah!" Jiang Yao was slightly startled.
Just as she was about to retract her hand, that pair of eyes suddenly opened, and her hand was suddenly grabbed by his hand. Jiang Yao was really shocked, and she felt embarrassed as if she was a thief who had been caught red-handed on the spot.
"You were pretending to be asleep!" Jiang Yao protested in a small voice. "You were clearly pretending to be asleep just now!"
Hearing Jiang Yao's anxious and angry words, Lu Xingzhi couldn't help but chuckle softly. "With such big movements from you, as long as I'm not dead, I'll wake up."
That's right. Lu Xingzhi was a professional soldier. Jiang Yao was moving around on his face. There was no way he wouldn't wake up.
Actually, he had already woken up when she turned over. However, he was really a little surprised that she would actually secretly touch his face after he fell asleep.
That kind of strength was very light and very gentle, like a caress.
"Can't sleep?" Lu Xingzhi let go of Jiang Yao's hand. Thinking that she couldn't sleep because of the heat, he asked, "Do you want to turn on the fan?"
"No need." The Lu Family's house was hot during the day, but at night, the wind in the town was cold. Moreover, the balcony of this room faced a river, so the night wind was cool. Therefore, it was rare to use an electric fan or air conditioner. Even in the middle of the night, people would feel cold. This was the reason why Jiang Yao still covered herself with a thin blanket.
The air conditioner installed by the Lu family was used for decoration all year round. It was only used during the hottest days.
"Lu Xingzhi, are you sleepy? If you're not sleepy, let's talk, okay? " As Jiang Yao spoke, her gaze fell on Lu Xingzhi's face. Her tone was a little probing as she said, "It seems like we haven't had a proper conversation since we got married."
Lu Xingzhi's expression clearly froze, but this expression was fleeting. It was so quick that even Jiang Yao, who had been staring at him, didn't catch it.
How could Lu Xingzhi not be shocked? Jiang Yao actually took the initiative to talk to him?
In the past, Jiang Yao was rarely willing to talk to him. Basically, if she could avoid talking to him, she wouldn't open her mouth. She was so stingy with him that she didn't even look at him or say a word.
And today, this person inexplicably took the initiative to hug him twice and then said that she wanted to talk to him.
After a long time, Lu Xingzhi said in a low voice, "Jiang Yao, today … you're not like yourself."
If he wasn't sure that the woman in front of him was indeed Lu Xingzhi's wife, he would have suspected that the Jiang Yao now and the Jiang Yao of the past were two different people.
Yes, they were indeed like two different people, as if they were two different people.
"You know me very well? How do you know what kind of person I am? "Jiang Yao replied indignantly.
