Chapter 530: I Want to Hug You
When she visited during the National Day holidays, he was still smoking in front of her. But after a few days, the smell of cigarettes was nowhere to be found. Even Zhou Weiqi and Chen Xuyao were barred from smoking by Lu Xingzhi.
Now, he could not hold it in anymore and lit a cigarette right in front of Jiang Yao.
She looked at him in silence and felt the aching pain in her heart.
He did not want her to leave.
Yet, what else could he say?
Perhaps he did not want to send her off and see her leave right before his eyes?
He did not speak and smoked in silence. After finishing the cigarette in hand, he rolled down the car window and tossed the cigarette butt out. Grabbing himself a bottle of water, he proceeded to chug a few mouthfuls down his throat.
“Lu Xingzhi…”
Jiang Yao gently called out.
“I know, give me a moment.” He thought she was eager to leave and answered in a slightly annoyed tone. He put the water bottle away, turned toward Jiang Yao, lifted her up, and placed her on his laps.
Jiang Yao was startled. After all, there were a lot of people around them!
The space was cramped and with the way they were sitting, Jiang Yao’s entire body was pushed against Lu Xingzhi.
Seeing her expression, he chuckled, “What did you think I was going to do?”
“How would I know?” She retorted.
“I just want to hug you.” He pushed her head down on his chest. “Call me when you arrive. Don’t forget to do it every night before you sleep too; I want you to tell me what happened during the day.”
“Alright.” Jiang Yao was relieved that he was not thinking of any nasty ideas. She buried her face in his chest.

He gently pressed his hand down on her head and exhaled. Lifting her chin up with his fingertips, he suddenly went in for the kiss.
He did not want her to go, not at all.
Even though he knew it from the beginning that she would leave, it still ached him a lot when the day finally arrived.
The kiss lasted two minutes, not very long, but enough for Jiang Yao’s heart to throb violently.
She sniveled and took a quick look at Lu Xingzhi as she lightly nudged his nose with her face. “More!”
Seeing his inaction, she initiated the kiss.
However much they were unwilling to part ways, the ticking hands of time did not allow for any dawdling.
Hearing the broadcast announcing that the boarding for Jiang Yao’s flight had just started, it was time for her to go.
“Let’s go.” He finally unbuckled his seat belt and exited the car with her in his arms.
He carried the very few suitcases Jiang Yao had and held her hand as they walked toward the boarding gate.
She bought many clothes in Jin City and Jindo City but did not pack it in her suitcase. She left it here since she would be back soon.
With people coming and going at the airport, Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao were like a drop of water in an ocean.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.

An Alpha, ostracized by his pack. Forced to live alone in a cabin, far from anyone. Only a few knew of his existence, and they were determined to keep it that way.
