âMrs. Ge is Platoon Leader Geâs lover, initially, she didnât meet the conditions to reside here. However, Platoon Leader Ge was injured when he was on a mission with me, and adding on some other reasons and their familyâs situation, the platoon allowed Mrs Ge to bring her daughter to reside here. Sheâs been here less than a month, you just have to greet her if you see her around for the time youâre here. Even though Platoon Leader Ge is my underling, heâs my senior and has been enlisted far longer than me. So, just greet her when you see her, but you donât have to say much of anything else other than that.â
Lu Xingzhi was not the kind of person who would talk bad about others behind their backs, so while it was obvious he disliked Mrs. Ge, he would not say much on the negative things about her. He merely reminded Jiang Yao to greet her if she did see her during her stay here, and be courteous, and that was enough.
Jiang Yao hummed in agreement, and did not think too much about it. She was going to Kyoto the next day with Lu Xingzhi, and would probably stay for about two days. She would not be spending too much time in the platoon, and probably would not have many chances to bump into the other residences here anyway. Naturally, she did not put too much thought into the neighbours in the building.
But when she heard Lu Xingzhi mentioned that he and Platoon Leader Ge had been injured on a mission, she forcefully pulled up Lu Xingzhi, who was bent down arranging her clothes in the small cabinet in front of him.
âAre you injured?â Although Lu Xingzhi had assured her that he was not injured on the phone, hearing that Platoon Leader Ge, who had been on the mission with him, had been injured, she could not help but still be concerned.
Lu Xingzhi shook his head without hesitation, assuring her, âDo you think anyone would be able to hurt me, with my capabilities?â
If Lu Xingzhi had not been so quick and confident to answer her, Jiang Yao would have believed him. Adding on the fact that he had denied it so quickly, putting on the image that he was indestructible, she felt even more suspicious.
âSystem Admin, scan his physical condition.â Jiang Yao gave the order as her eyes swept over Lu Xingzhi, who had lied with a straight face, as she tried to find out which part of his body had been injured.
âUnderstood, Master!â the System Adminâs response was fast, and a few seconds later, a message appeared in Jiang Yaoâs mind.
Jiang Yao looked Lu Xingzhi dead in the eyes, and she said, âYouâre sure youâre not injured anywhere?â
Lu Xingzhi nodded, not giving away anything. She frowned as she pressed her hand directly on the wound on his abdomen. The results that she got from the System Admin was that there was a cut of almost five centimeters long on that area that had just started to scab over, which indicated that it was a recent injury.
Lu Xingzhi was unprepared for the pressure, as he did not expect Jiang Yao to press on the wound so accurately. His first reaction was a sharp inhale of air, and then releasing it shakily, slightly tensed.
âHaha, that tickles. My darling, please donât stir up any trouble.â Lu Xingzhi hurriedly removed Jiang Yaoâs hand, glaring at her slightly as he pulled her into his arms, âIâve already said that Iâm not injured, why wonât you believe me?â
The more Lu Xingzhi denied it, the more Jiang Yao was unhappy. She already knew that his injury was not serious, but the fact that he was still hiding it from her made her angry!
âTake off your clothes and let me see it.â Jiang Yao demanded crossly, looking at Lu Xingzhi in the eyes. She was prepared to pull out the medicine that she had made with the Systemâs laboratory in order to use on his injuries.
Lu Xingzhi had vehemently denied that he was injured, so it was natural that he would not follow the demand to shed his clothes for her to examine him either. He shook his head, saying solemnly, âI already said Iâm not injured, so how could I show you any wounds? Letâs just forget about this, alright?â
