BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1977
“You’re awake?”
Jiang Yao turned to look at Lu Xingzhi when she heard the movement. “Zhou Junmin has just delivered the meal and left. The meal should still be hot. Do you want to eat it now?”
“Have you eaten?” Lu Xingzhi asked.
Jiang Yao nodded. Pregnant women could not withstand hunger. Lu Xingzhi was in a deep sleep, and she did not know when he would wake up, so she did not wait for him.
“Okay.”
Lu Xingzhi was relieved when he heard Jiang Yao say that she had eaten. “I don’t have the strength. Feed me.”
Jiang Yao thought for a moment and nodded.
Sick people had the right to act coquettishly.
She was more sensitive than usual while at home, especially when she was unwell. She would cause a stir and throw a tantrum. She would even insist on staying with Mrs. Jiang. Sometimes, she would even insist that Mrs. Jiang sleep with her.
Jiang Jie and Jiang Lei would spend the entire day around her whenever she was sick. They were scared she would get bored, so they would try their best to tease her.
Zhou Junmin’s lunch for Lu Xingzhi was porridge with some delectable side dishes. He ate the bowl of porridge for nearly half an hour.
The weather was only more than ten degrees Celsius, and the food had been left out for a while. Lu Xingzhi would still say that it was hot and ask her to blow on it.
“Are you full?” Jiang Yao asked as she took the empty bowl. “It’s not good to sleep for too long. Do you want to watch TV, listen to the radio, and eat some fruits?”
Lu Xingzhi touched his stomach. He wanted to say that he was not full. He was sick, so those dishes should have been enough for his appetite. However, he was also recovering, so he thought the portion was too little.
He had not eaten properly for two days, and he was sick the moment he returned home. Of course, Lu Xingzhi wanted to have a full meal.
Unfortunately, he did not want to show weakness.
“Okay, then have some melons.”
Lu Xingzhi nodded. “Don’t wash the dishes. Let Zhou Junmin wash them when he comes over tonight.”
Zhou Junmin, the dishwasher, was taking a lunch break. He sneezed suddenly; he felt as if someone was plotting against him.
Jiang Yao could not do such a thing. Zhou Junmin had already delivered the food. She did not know how to cook, and Zhou Jumin had to run around. How could she ask him to wash their dishes?
Jiang Yao tidied the kitchen. When she returned to the study, Lu Xingzhi was fiddling with the radio.
“Do you want to go to the bathroom?”
Jiang Yao thought that Lu Xingzhi did not have the strength to stand, so she asked, “Do you want me to help you?”
Lu Xingzhi’s attention shifted from the radio, and his eyes narrowed. “Yes.”
When Jiang Yao went to help him, he did not dare press his body weight onto Jiang Yao. She was pregnant, so he could not risk it.
However, he was used to acting as a rough man, so he did not feel like his acting was bad at all.
He sighed, took small steps, and looked annoyed. He was the epitome of a useless person.
“Where are you going?”
Lu Xingzhi stood in front of the toilet and asked when he saw that Jiang Yao was about to leave.
“You just need to stand still. I’ll wait for you at the door,” Jiang Yao replied. “I don’t have the strength. Help me unzip and support me. Otherwise, what will I do if I pee my pants?” Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao helplessly.. How could she not help him?
