Chapter 1984: I’m Here
Zhou Junmin had been the only one accompanying Jiang Yao when they set off. However, when she went back, she was protected by several soldiers and Zhou Junmin.
There were people all around her. It was as if she was the princess returning to the palace.
Jiang Yao did not realize that Moe in her pocket had quietly run out just as she was about to go back. He sprinted home despite the heavy rain.
Moe jumped into the house through the window. After searching the bedroom, he did not find Lu Xingzhi, so he went to the living room. As expected, he saw the man exercising in the living room.
Lu Xingzhi saw Moe as soon as he entered the living room.
“Jiang Yao is back?”
Lu Xingzhi retracted his fists and did not even have time to wipe the sweat off his face.
He nodded at Moe and gave him two thumbs up when Moe told him that Jiang Yao was about two minutes away.
Lu Xingzhi immediately rushed to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Then, he quickly returned to his room and wrapped himself in the blanket, pretending to be sick.
However, it took Jiang Yao about 20 minutes to reach home.
The first thing she did was to look for Lu Xingzhi. She went to the bathroom when she did not see him in the living room. When she saw the wet clothes, she was shocked. She quickly went back to the bedroom.
“Don’t tell me you’re feverish again.” Jiang Yao quickly reached out to touch Lu Xingzhi’s head. “I saw the clothes in the bathroom. Did you break out in a cold sweat?”
When she touched Lu Xingzhi’s face, it seemed like the temperature on his face was a little hotter than when she left.
“Maybe because I’ve been sleeping under the blanket.”
Lu Xingzhi did not dare to say that it was because he had been exercising. Even if he took a shower, his whole body was still hot, and the clothes in the bathroom were wet with sweat.
“You usually complain that I have my head in the blanket like an ostrich when I sleep so much that I can’t breathe some fresh air. Why are you doing the same now?” Jiang Yao poked Lu Xingzhi’s forehead.
However, she changed the topic when Lu Xingzhi laughed. “How are things at the infirmary?”
“I’m here. Do you think there’s any illness that I can’t treat?”
Jiang Yao raised her head proudly. “Colonel Shao has pneumonia. I’ve given him injections, fluids, and acupuncture. He should be better in three days. However, pneumonia is not easy to get rid of once you get it. It’S not like a cold or a fever that can be cured easily.”
“He’s the patient?”
Lu Xingzhi’s expression became more serious. “The field unit worked harder than us. We’ve only been here for those two days. The field army has more things to do. They’ve been trying to prevent floods since before the rain started. They’re even busier now.”
The city hall had always been short-handed. Every year, they would get help from the army as they would usually get more issues during the rainy season, which even the fire department could not handle. They had to get the military to help them.
The soldiers would always go where they were needed.
However, sometimes even the army would face a manpower shortage.
However, work in the southern military region was more laborious than in Jin City. The area was constantly inundated with rain, drought, and floods. If one were not careful, there would be mudslides, landslides, and other natural disasters. They might even get ferocious typhoons in the summer..
