Chapter 509: Decent

Jiang Yao started preparing for the contents of the training program after dinner. The soldiers’ daily training were not affected as the training program was set to be held at half past seven at the auditorium, with it going for two hours. The platoon did not specify how long the program should last; everything was at Jiang Yao’s discretion.

Thinking that she had at least a few days until a decision was made, she did not realize that the military had already made all necessary arrangements, and a fast one at that. She had to pick up her pace.

While she was busy working in the study, Lu Xingzhi sat beside her with a book in his hand. On occasions he looked at her, Jiang Yao was entirely focused on her task at hand, with her pen scribbling furiously across the notepad on the table. She was not aware of his attention and seemed to have forgotten that she was not alone in the study.

This was the first time Lu Xingzhi had ever seen Jiang Yao so focused at work. She gently pursed her lips, with a fastidious expression on her face as her watery eyes were fixated on the notepad in front of her.

She sat properly postured, without any signs of hunching over. Her parents, evidently, had been really strict with the way she carried herself.

Jiang Yao was not brought up with plenty of arts, dance and music lessons, unlike the other daughters of more affluent families in the city. But the way she carried herself was as graceful and elegant as her wealthier peers.

She would mutter something under her breath for a few seconds, before turning her attention back to the task at hand without any more noise.

As she just showered, her hair was a mess, and it kept interfering with her work by covering up her face whenever she stooped her head.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhi stood up and walked out of the study before returning with a hair clip taken from the dressing table in the bedroom.

“Hmm?”

Feeling a sudden touch on her hair, she jumped out of her chair abruptly.

“You scared me! Weren’t you sitting right over there?” Patting her chest as if to calm herself down, she complained.

“I went and got you this hair clip. Don’t move, let me put it on.” Lu Xingzhi fastened the hair clip on her hair and made sure that it was firmly in place. “That’s it, you may continue.”

“I’m almost done, actually. I’ve already arranged everything I needed and can teach on a timetable.” Jiang Yao handed the notepad over to Lu Xingzhi. “I’ll teach basic first-aid for the first couple of days, before moving on to recognizing and utilizing some common plants and herbs. I was wondering if I can find some plant specimens or pictures in Jin City.”

“That’s easy. Give Haoyu a call. He has some friends in the botany field, you should be able to get some help from them.” Lu Xingzhi gently rubbed Jiang Yao’s head. “It’s been two hours since you started, look, your hair’s already dry.”

Jiang Yao chuckled. She placed her arms around Lu Xingzhi’s waist and nuzzled her head against his abdomen. “That’s alright.”

He almost melted seeing the soft and fluffy being in his arms.

It felt pretty good.
