“Alright, I’ll get the rice.”
The dishes were all her favourite. Huo Chen was an excellent cook, and she was in a good mood to fully appreciate and stuff herself that night.
She offered to wash the dishes but Huo Chen was one step ahead of her, so she leaned against the door and watched him work instead.
His hands… Those hands once held a gun, but now they were washing dishes.
This was unacceptable.
“Chen, let me do the washing next time. You’re not suited for it.”
If his subordinates found out about this, he would lose all his dignity as captain.
“How is that?” He did not see anything wrong with doing some housework. Besides, he was enjoying this simple life with her.
“It doesn’t suit a military man.”
“Even the toughest man has a softer side, especially when with his family.”
His gentleness was only reserved for her.
Lu Zhaoyang twitched her lips, feeling deeply moved.
The more he acted this way, the more pressure she felt. She had nothing to pay him back, even when it came to love…
Lu Zhaoyang felt chest tightened. She licked her lips and changed the topic. “When are you leaving?”
“To go where?”
“You’re an active military personnel. Taking a few days off is acceptable, but surely you can’t stay here for too long?”
She had wanted to ask this yesterday, but was too overwhelmed with emotions to say it out loud.
“Yang Yang, have you’ve forgotten what I said? I have done my part for my country. It’s time for me to do the same to you. Don’t worry, I will always be by your side.”
His arms hung loosely beside him, but his hands were gripping tightly as he forced himself not to embrace her.
“I…”
If he really returned home, it may not make things better for him anyway. For instance, what would he say to Huo Yunting?
Lu Zhaoyang felt overwhelmed and did not know how to respond to his feelings. “I’m going to bed now, I didn’t have enough sleep last night. You should rest early too.”
“Go! Sleep as long as you want, don’t worry.”
If she could not enjoy peace after leaving, what would be the point?
“Yeah. With you here, I won’t.”
She turned around and went to her room.
Huo Chen’s room was opposite hers. This made her feel a lot safer compared to their stay in the hotel.
There was only the two of them in the house. Huo Yunting could not possibly be in here.
…
“How dare you escape, Lu Zhaoyang!”
“No one who still owes me a debt can leave without my say-so!”
“Lu Zhaoyang, I will ‘take care’ of you mother. She will pay the price for your foolishness!”
Lu Zhaoyang frowned deeply. She could not see him clearly, but she could hear his yelling voice right beside her ear.
She twisted and turned restlessly on the bed.
She did nothing wrong, so why must she suffer from his torment?!
“…”
Lu Zhaoyang awoke from her nightmare once again. Her eyes felt so dry and painful. She rubbed her eyes as she listened to the cold wind blowing outside.
If she could not enjoy a good night’s rest, then what was the point of leaving that place?
Huo Yunting was no longer physically with her, but why would he refuse to leave her alone?!
Perhaps she had suffered being with Huo Yunting for far too long that she could not shake off those harrowing feelings so soon after she left. She would feel better later.
Despite this soothing thought, Lu Zhaoyang could not fall asleep.
When Huo Chen woke up early in the morning, he noticed that someone was already in the kitchen.
Why would she be up so early?
