Mr. and Mrs. Jiang left after washing up. They needed to get to Jiang Yaoâs dormitory early to finish cleaning. After all, no one had been there for quite some time. They had to return and tidy up the place. They also needed to buy veggies to cook dinner for Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi.
âBring me a mirror,â Lu Xingzhi said as soon as the two elderly folks left.
âWhat are you up to?â Jiang Yao inquired, perplexed. However, seeing how hurried Lu Xingzhi was, she rushed to the restroom, took out a small mirror, and handed it to him.
Jiang Yao stood to the side and stared at the mirror after delivering it to Lu Xingzhi. The man examined his face after taking the mirror. Then he lifted the gauze covering his cheek incision and continued to stare at her. She was aware of what he was doing.
The weather in the south was still quite hot, so when Jiang Yao changed Lu Xingzhiâs dressing in the morning, the gauze just covered the wound on the other side and did not adequately bandage it. Lu Xinghi raised the gauze and could see the wound.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was hideous.
Lu Xingzhi groaned. âWill I get a scar?â
He lifted the mirror and peered to the left and right. He sighed once more. âIâm disfigured.â
Jiang Yao genuinely wanted to tease him, saying that there was no such thing as a disfigured face. Those who could be disfigured were all originally good-looking.
However, Lu Xingzhi appeared to be sorrowful, so she could not bring herself to say those things.
âYaoyao.â Lu Xingzhi scowled and tossed the mirror aside. âWill you dislike me if I am damaged, scarred, and ugly?â
Jiang Yao appeared surprised. âHow did you arrive at that conclusion?â
âYou prefer attractive people.â It was then Lu Xingzhiâs turn to scoff. âDonât think that I donât know. You canât resist but take a couple more glances at attractive men. When you were with Shao Fucheng, you dressed better than when you were with other people. You will gaze at the most attractive guy you see when you are in the army base. In ancient times, youâd be a foolish king who used sex to serve others.â
Jiang Yao was so enraged that she burst out laughing. She raised her hand and patted Lu Xingzhiâs hand. âWhat are you talking about? Who was staring at others? I peeped at who?â
That was all gibberish from Lu Xingzhi. How could she have let him know if she were peeping?
She was well aware of how envious he could get. She would always gaze straight ahead when he was by her side and never look at a passerby.
She would glance twice when he was not present, but he had no idea.
That was a very typical human reaction. Humans were visual creatures. When they saw something attractive, they could not help but halt.
âDonât worry. I have some cream for that. There are different methods for removing scars.â Lu Xingzhi believed her because she had erased Zheng Yi and Chen Feibaiâs scars. She even did the same for his minor scars.
âCanât you just say that youâd still love me even if Iâm ugly?â
Lu Xingzhi scowled. â1 am the one who has been scarred, but you donât even want to console me.â
Was it possible that some peopleâs brains would be destroyed with their bodies when they were sick?
Or, when a man was sick or hurt, no matter how composed he was normally, he would suddenly transform into a bizarre person, becoming demanding and childlike..
