Chapter 1851 Past Events

Jiang Yao did not feel disappointed because she was not surprised. Even though she guessed that he was on a mission, she knew it would have nothing to do with her.

The last time she was hurt while on a mission, it profoundly affected Lu Xingzhi. He would never, ever put her at risk again.

“I will be blunt. You might not understand. I will start from the beginning. Didn’t you ask me where this wound was from?” Lu Xingzhi asked, grabbing Jiang Yao’s hand and probing an old scar on his back and waist.

Lu Xingzhi had served in the military for many years, and he had numerous wounds on his body that symbolized glory. Among those scars, the one on his back and waist terrified Jiang Yao the most.

Even after all these years, Jiang Yao could still discern the direction and remnants of the wound. Even if she did give him medicine created in the medical system, it was only slightly diluted.

“I should have told you before,” Lu Xingzhi said.

“I came here twice. Each time, this place left an unforgettable impression on me. This scar was left behind when I came here the second time. It almost took my life.”

Jiang Yao was aware that Lu Xingzhi had arrived in Lanning, but she had no idea when or why he was there.

“Lanning has a backward economy, culture, ideology, and politics. Everything here is backward, so it has become a breeding ground for crimes. The last time I came here was not long after we got married.” Lu Xingzhi turned to look at Jiang Yao. “When we got married, I initially had two months of marriage leave, but I left after a month. At that time, I received the notice to come to Lanning to carry out a mission.”

Jiang Yao’s mind wandered a little further away when he mentioned their wedding. It had been so long that she had forgotten what had transpired at the wedding.

She did, however, have a faint recollection of something similar. When they got married, Lu Xingzhi informed his family that he would be taking two months off to prepare for the wedding. Lu Xingzhi had certainly left early, not long after their marriage.

When she heard that Lu Xingzhi wanted to return to the army early, Jiang Yao mistakenly thought that Lu Xingzhi was finally tired of her indifferent attitude toward him and could not stand it anymore, so he returned to the army early.

However, on the day that he was about to leave, he had stuck to her. Although the two of them did not communicate much, he had spent almost the entire day with her. When he left, he did not ask her if she could send him to the airport. He probably guessed that she would not, so he held her hand and said his goodbye. Jiang Yao remembered how he shamelessly asked her to say that she would wait for him at home.

That was when he held her hand. Although the expression on his face was not visible, she could tell his eyes were filled with worry. He repeatedly begged her to wait for him to return home patiently.

Lu Xingzhi was simply nagging at first. Later, when she did not reply, he seemed to lose his cool. In a low voice, he snarled at her, compelling her to open her mouth and tell him the entire sentence. She would certainly wait for him to return home.
