Chapter 618: Chapter 618 - Where Are You Going?

It was a miserable night for the people of Rong County. Wherever one went in the temporary settlement for affected residents, cries were heard, from children wanting to go home to adults who had lost their loved ones.

Of course, there was laughter from children gathered around playing games with each other, slightly lightening the mood in the area.

Just as people were worried about how long the rain was going to last, it stopped.

Someone shouted that the rain stopped, as people ran out of their tents and hugged each other in tears of laughter and relief.

Lu Xingzhi returned to Changkang Group’s tent around nine at night. It was obvious that he was busy the entire afternoon and evening, ignoring the general’s orders to rest.

“Darling.” Upon entering, Lu Xingzhi saw Jiang Yao and called out to her. Before turning to Lu Yuqing, who was busy making the bed, and asked, “Aren’t you going to return, Sis?”

“There are more relief supplies coming in for the Changkang Group tomorrow and they need help. Why should I return?” Lu Yuqing rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhi and muttered under her breath. “And you call yourself my brother!”

Jiang Yao chuckled. She felt Lu Yuqing’s dissatisfaction at Lu Xingzhi, after all, he looked worn out and dirty, a far cry from his title as Master Lu.

She went to him and said, “Let me get you a bucket of water, you need to wash up!”

Lu Xingzhi nodded. He reminded her, “Not too much though, there still is a water shortage here in the county.”

Jiang Yao acknowledged and prepared a small bowl of water before putting a towel into it.

“Since you have prepared it, he should wipe his body down too. I’ll wait outside.” Lu Yuqing put on her jacket and went out.

Jiang Yao nodded and hurriedly said, “Hold on, Sis, I’ll go with you!”

“Where are you going?” Lu Xingzhi pulled Jiang Yao back. “Is there anything on my body you’ve not seen?”

“Lu Xingzhi!” Jiang Yao blushed and stomped her feet. She saw Lu Yuqing’s teasing smile and a thought of murdering Lu Xingzhi appeared in her mind. “Can you stop saying nonsense when Sis is around?”

“It was the truth, we are husband and wife after all.” Lu Xingzhi explained seriously.

That was not what she meant. She did not want him to say such intimate things out in public.

Why was he not embarrassed?

“You said it as if Sis has never seen you naked before! She used to look after you when you were just a little kid!”

“I don’t know, can’t remember it,” replied Lu Xingzhi casually. He removed his shirt and wiped his face with a damp towel before moving on to his body.

Lu Yuqing had gone far and Jiang Yao had no idea where she went. Instead, she sat on the bed and talked to Lu Xingzhi.

“What are the things we need the most here? When Manager Sun arrives tomorrow, we are going to purchase the relief supplies urgently needed,” Jiang Yao asked. “Also, you didn’t rest in the afternoon right? It’s not good for your body!”
