Chapter 24

Lu Yunxiang prepared three meals to bring to Ji Mingjing.

As soon as she appeared at the entrance of the corridor, she heard Xiao Zhang and Xiao He’s excited voices.

“Sister-in-law is here!”

Lu Yunxiang gave them a slight smile and handed them the food she had prepared for them.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law.”

Lu Yunxiang didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Xiao He and Xiao Zhang looked at her with pity.

She shook her head, ignoring this strange thought.

“Take your time eating, I’ll go deliver food to Brother Ji.”

“Okay. Thank you, Sister-in-law!”

In the ward, Ji Mingjing had already gotten out of bed and was exercising in the room.

Lu Yunxiang exclaimed, “Brother Ji, your injuries haven’t healed yet, go lie down on the bed!”

Lu Yunxiang didn’t know if it was her food that was miraculous or Ji Mingjing’s physique that was miraculous, she saw that the dagger had pierced very deep into his body that day.

Even if he didn’t die, wouldn’t it hurt?

It had only been a few days, and he was already exercising out of bed?

This powerful self-disciplined soul was too scary.

Ji Mingjing gave her a slight smile.

“Don’t worry, I know my body.”

Ji Mingjing’s body was much stronger than others, and his recovery ability was also much stronger.

This time, his recovery was even faster.

When he changed his dressing, he saw that the wound had already scabbed over.

He thought, maybe because he caught the spy and protected national secrets, a big stone in his heart had fallen, so his body also showed it.

After all, he had been tracking this spy for over a year.

The other party was very cunning, if he hadn’t caught him this time, he didn’t know when he would get another lead on him!

Lu Yunxiang didn’t have the right to tell Ji Mingjing what to do.

She was just doing the mission to help him recover.

“Brother Ji, come and eat!”

She said as she opened the lunchbox.

She had cooked a lot of pork bone soup today, and she kept a portion for Ji Mingjing.

There was plenty of pork bone in it.

There were no big steamed buns today, but a portion of white rice and a dish.

A green vegetable and four pieces of delicious braised pork.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao He had the same food as Ji Mingjing.

Only Ji Mingjing had an extra portion of pork bone soup.

Ji Mingjing didn’t hesitate, he sat down and started eating.

He was indeed hungry.

Moreover, Lu Yunxiang’s food was particularly fragrant, it made his stomach growl.

The braised pork was square, each piece was as big as Lu Yunxiang’s fist.

Ji Mingjing took a bite and swallowed it.

Instantly, the sweet but not greasy flavor filled his taste buds.

Ji Mingjing complimented her.

“You’re a great cook!”

Lu Yunxiang, a chef, instantly showed a proud expression when she heard him praise her cooking.

“Of course!”

Ji Mingjing ate while he couldn’t help but smile.

When she was proud, she tilted her head, like a victorious peacock.

She was so endearing.

His heart skipped a beat.

Ji Mingjing had a big appetite, he ate fast, Lu Yunxiang had really brought a whole big portion, enough for two adults.

Ji Mingjing finished!

[Ding! Mission progress: 60]

Lu Yunxiang was amazed.

“Brother Ji, you have a big appetite!”

Ji Mingjing was a little embarrassed.

A hint of awkwardness flashed across his tough face.

“We soldiers, we train a lot, so we have a bigger appetite.”

“Then I’ll bring you more tomorrow.”

“Cough…”

Ji Mingjing almost choked on his own saliva.

“That’s not necessary.”

He had eaten too much, would Lu Yunxiang think he was a glutton?

… Well, Lu Yunxiang made his heart flutter.

Ji Mingjing had been focused on the army for all these years, he had no thoughts about women. He was twenty-four this year, and the army had been introducing him to girls, urging him to get married, but he didn’t budge.

He had even decided to devote his life to the army.

But he met Lu Yunxiang, and she made him feel warm and cared for.

He even dreamed of her beautiful face last night.

Ji Mingjing took out a document from the drawer beside his bed.

“Your leave to visit relatives has been approved, take a look.”

Lu Yunxiang was surprised, “Really?”

When she saw the stamp of approval and the half-month leave granted to her, Lu Yunxiang jumped up excitedly.

“That’s great, I can go see Dad!”

Lu Yunxiang’s eyes welled up with tears.

She was looking forward to it, very much looking forward to it.

Ji Mingjing looked at the excited expression on her face, and his stern features softened.

“I’m injured, otherwise, seeing you so happy, I would really want to take you to the capital right away.”

Lu Yunxiang looked up and met Ji Mingjing’s fiery gaze.

Her chest tightened, and she quickly looked away.

What Ji Mingjing said was… very ambiguous.

Was it her imagination?

“I’m not that anxious, Brother Ji, you should recover from your injuries first, it’s okay if it’s a little later.”

Ji Mingjing smiled.

“Then please wait for me.”

Lu Yunxiang blushed.

“Mm.”

The atmosphere became strangely ambiguous, with pink bubbles in the air.

Lu Yunxiang quickly changed the subject, “Brother Ji, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll make it for you.”

“Anything, I like everything you make.”

Lu Yunxiang’s heart was thumping like a deer.

She suspected that Ji Mingjing was flirting with her, and she had evidence!

Ji Mingjing was handsome, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a body full of muscles, his entire being exuded hormones, his sexual tension was high.

She was captivated by his beauty.

She quickly stood up, “I have something to do, so I’ll go now, I’ll come back tomorrow to deliver food.”

She ran away with her lunch box.

As if there was a flood of wild beasts chasing her.

Ji Mingjing instinctively wanted to stop her, but he held back.

Take it slow.

Don’t scare her.

When she got out of the ward, Lu Yunxiang’s face was so red it was about to bleed.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao He also returned the lunch box to her.

“Sister-in-law, the food you made was too delicious. Just vegetables tomorrow, no meat.”

Xiao Zhang and Xiao He were ashamed.

Four big pieces of braised pork each!

In these days, it was not easy to eat meat.

Lu Yunxiang was too generous.

Would they bankrupt the sister-in-law by eating like this?

They wouldn’t be picky, just one portion of rice, no meat!

Lu Yunxiang smiled at them.

“It’s okay, the money is from Brother Ji, it’s a special treat he gave you.”

Xiao Zhang instantly became sweet-tongued.

“Sister-in-law, you and our Captain are a perfect match!”

Lu Yunxiang blushed again.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

She ran away shyly.

She was running all the way, and then suddenly heard a sharp voice.

“Yang Qingxue, give me back my job, I’ve been fired now, I can’t get married, you have to compensate me!”

Yang Qingxue?

The voice belonged to Yang Lili.

She looked up and saw Yang Lili pulling Yang Qingxue’s hair, her face contorted with fury as she ripped at it.
