《Can’t Take My Eyes Off You》Can't Take My Eyes Off You

After a pause, Mrs. Lin reminded her, "Remember to give Sergeant Lu a call."
Jiang Yao nodded and dialed Lu Xingzhi's number.
Coincidentally, when Lu Xingzhi received Jiang Yao's call, he was about to call her. He realized it was time for him to go back and make lunch, so he wanted to ask Jiang Yao if she would be home at noon. If she were not, he would not need to go back; he would go to the cafeteria to eat instead.
"You're not coming home at noon?" Lu Xingzhi's heart sank when he heard Jiang Yao say that she had an appointment with Luo Ruoran at noon. It was his birthday, but his wife had to accompany someone else's wife.
Even though he felt aggrieved, Lu Xingzhi did not show it. He told her to drive carefully on the road before they hung up.
Jiang Yao met Luo Ruoran in the restaurant an hour after she finished her call with Lu Xingzhi. She suspected that Luo Ruoran had driven all the way there.
"Sister Ruoran, tell me why you don't feel well." Jiang Yao greeted Luo Ruoran and sat down across from her. If she were honest, Luo Ruoran did not look too good since they last met. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
"After our last meeting, my appetite got poorer within two days. I feel as if I don't have enough sleep. I feel weak and can't keep anything now. Sometimes, it gets so bad that I feel nauseous when I smell the food. I did not eat anything, but I kept vomiting." Luo Ruoran frowned and sighed as she looked at Jiang Yao nervously. "Do you think I have stomach cancer? I've seen an elderly with stomach cancer like this. I don't dare go to the hospital."

She was afraid of death; she was terrified.
Jiang Yao did not expect Luo Ruoran's condition to be so serious. She asked Luo Ruoran to stick out her tongue for her to take a look. Then, she checked Luo Ruoran's pulse. At the same time, she asked the system to scan her.
Luo Ruoran had mentioned stomach cancer, so she was a little worried. However, after checking her pulse, Jiang Yao was a little dumbfounded.
Stomach cancer? That was a clear pulse...
Jiang Yao did not hurry to tell Luo Ruoran what she had found. Instead, she looked at the system's results.
As expected, the results were the same as her pulse. Then, she glanced at Luo Ruoran with a bitter smile and teased her. "This isn't stomach cancer."
Luo Ruoran's face calmed when she heard that. "That's great! I'm still young and haven't lived long enough! I don't want to die. I heard that the mortality rate of stomach cancer is very high."
After sighing, Luo Ruoran asked again, "Is it because I ate something bad?"
Jiang Yao shook her head and curled her lips into a smile. "Not really."
Then, she moved her eyes downward slowly and finally fixed them on Luo Ruoran's flat stomach. She said, "Congratulations! You're becoming a mother. You're two months along."
Jiang Yao was happy. "Sister Ruoran, the baby is very healthy! Your reaction is a normal pregnancy symptom. Relax, you have to keep up with the nutrition during this period. I will give you some dietary supplements to alleviate the pregnancy symptoms. After that, you can ask your housekeeper to cook according to the formula I give you."
The baby was still very young, so it was still impossible to tell its gender. However, the baby was very healthy.
Luo Ruoran was stunned from the moment Jiang Yao congratulated her. She sat there in a daze with a shocked look on her face. It was as if she had been struck by lightning.

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.
