Chapter 10: The Leader Said He Married Me Because He Likes Me
The afternoon session was indoor training: basic combat. Everyone feasted their eyes as the Supreme Leader and his Adjutant personally went onto the mat to demonstrate. Everyone sat on the floor, looking up with their heads raised.
“Those whose names are called, come up first.” Ji Shuohan held the roll call book. “Cheng Tingyan.”
“Here!” Cheng Tingyan came forward. Standing in front of Ji Shuohan, the Omega appeared shy in the face of the imposing and powerful Enigma. Moreover, the person in front of him was the Supreme Leader of the entire Empire; he was even more infatuated.
Ji Shuohan glanced at him and called out, “Wei Xichu.”
“Sir!” Wei Xichu stepped forward. “Student Cheng Tingyan, I will conduct one-on-one training with you.”
Hearing this, Cheng Tingyan immediately looked at Ji Shuohan, pitifulness revealing itself in his eyes. “Can the Leader not train with me?”
“I am currently the Lead Instructor. You should call me Chief Instructor.” After speaking, Ji Shuohan turned and left the mat directly.
Cheng Tingyan was a bit embarrassed. He looked toward Ye Zhile, who seemed to be daydreaming in the crowd, his eyes dyed with thick jealousy.
Why! Why can Ye Zhile get the Supreme Leader’s care just by relying on a face, and even be carried back to the dormitory by the Supreme Leader! Staying in the same room!
Ye Zhile was trying hard to memorize the moves; he didn’t notice what just happened at all, nor did he notice Cheng Tingyanās resentful gaze.
Next was Leng Xingtu. Leng Xingtu seemed to have learned this before; his posture was exceptionally standard, his movements agile, looking very light and graceful. When he came down, Ye Zhile looked at him with envy. “You’re so amazing; you could actually dodge Adjutant Wei’s moves.”
Leng Xingtu lifted his chin arrogantly. “Of course. I practiced when I was little; they aren’t my match.”
“Really amazing!” Ye Zhile was like a little lapdog, smiling quite happily. Leng Xingtu thought this person was silly and a bit cute, but his mouth expressed disdain: “Idiot!”
“…” Ye Zhile pouted. He wasn’t going to talk to him anymore!
Ye Zhile turned his head away angrily, meeting Cheng Tingyanās gaze right on. That person looked at him with contempt and said something. Ye Zhile didn’t hear it clearly as he was called up.
Ye Zhile stood on the stage, pretending to be calm. Just as he was preparing to demonstrate with Wei Xichu, Ji Shuohan stepped forward and threw the roll call book to Wei Xichu. Wei Xichu knowingly retreated.
Now Ye Zhile was even more nervous. It’s over. If I don’t demonstrate well, will the Leader think I’m useless again?
“Begin,” Ji Shuohan said.
“Ha!” Ye Zhile shouted with great momentum. Just as he rushed forward to throw a punch, Ji Shuohan suddenly straightened up, wrapped one hand around his fist, and used the other hand to push his head back. “Shout again. Louder and with more momentum.”
“…Oh.” Ye Zhile stood back in place, his eyes determined as if he were joining the party. “Ha!”
Every one of Ye Zhileās moves was easily blocked by Ji Shuohan. That languid and casual yet slightly helpless temperament was enough to make one blush and their heart race. Ye Zhile felt like the Leader was toying with him. He instantly turned angry from embarrassment, lunged forward a step, wanting to make a fierce move, but was grabbed by the arm by Ji Shuohan and given an over-the-shoulder throw onto the ground.
“Next.” Ji Shuohan released him.
There were mats on the floor, and Ji Shuohan hadn’t used force, controlling his strength. Ye Zhile felt utterly humiliated. He climbed up looking aggrieved and went down dejectedly!
The Leader was indeed toying with him, not serious at all! He just looked down on him!
However, in Cheng Tingyanās eyes, all this was naked flirting. Ye Zhile was showing off. Everyone else was guided by Adjutant Wei, but he alone was unique! The Supreme Leader guided him personally!
After school, Ye Zhichen came to pick Ye Zhile up for dinner. As soon as he got in the car, he saw the person he had been thinking about. Ye Zhile threw himself to Ye Zhijinās side, hugged him, and acted coquettishly, “Did Big Brother miss me?”
“No.” Ye Zhijin was in a well-tailored black suit. He pretended to be cool and serious, sitting unsmilingly in the chair, unmoved by Ye Zhileās coquetry, but the fluctuation in his eyes was seen clearly by Ye Zhile.
Ye Zhile didn’t believe it. He grunted, “I don’t believe it. Big Brother definitely missed me, definitely thinking often: ‘I wonder if our Lele has grown taller, is he happy today, has he made Dad angry,’ hmph hmph.”
Ye Zhijin glanced at him sideways, his tone doting. “Little clever ghost. Haven’t seen you for a year, and you’ve learned how to tease people.”
“Hehe…” Ye Zhile lay in Ye Zhijinās arms, chattering away. “Last time I wanted to follow Father to see you and Second Brother, but Father said it was too dangerous and wouldn’t let me go.”
“Is that a place just anyone can go?” Ye Zhijin looked like Ye Junting, imposing and stern; his unsmiling face was intimidating enough. But Ye Zhile wasn’t afraid, and Ye Zhijin would never be fierce toward him. He stroked Ye Zhileās head. “That place is very dangerous. You can’t pester Father and throw tantrums, understand?”
“I didn’t!” Ye Zhile stood up excitedly. “Am I that kind of person? And what do you mean I can’t go? If one day the Empire needs me too! Then I’ll go up as well!”
Ye Zhijin and Ye Zhichen couldn’t help laughing at their younger brother’s brave words. Ye Zhichen teased him, “Aiyooo, our Lele wants to be a big hero, a big figure!”
“It’s not impossible.” Ye Zhile agreed quite proudly, then found it funny himself. He couldn’t even train well in military training now, yet he was thinking about heroism; it was simply wishful thinking.
“Big Brother and Second Brother didn’t make it in time for your eighteenth birthday. How about we make it up to you today?” Ye Zhijin asked him.
Ye Zhile nodded. “Okay! What about Dad and Father?”
“Dad and Father are on a business trip, and they already gave Lele a coming-of-age ceremony. We won’t call them this time; Big Brother and Second Brother will celebrate with you,” Ye Zhijin said.
“Okay! Then you and Second Brother must prepare a good-looking cake for me.” Ye Zhile spoke righteously. “It must be to my liking!”
“Guaranteed!”
Ye Zhile was a little chatterbox around his family, saying every inconsequential little piece of nonsense, and his two brothers listened seriously to his nonsense, even discussing it with him earnestly.
Ye Zhijin had booked a high-end Western restaurant with strong privacy. Led to their seats by a waiter, he handed the menu to Ye Zhile first for him to choose.
Ye Zhile was familiar with his brothers’ tastes and preferences. after choosing for the three of them, he returned it to the waiter.
With melodious violin music nearby, red wine and roses, and a very romantic atmosphere, Ye Zhile looked out at the brilliance outside and instantly felt incredibly satisfied.
Ye Zhijin had ordered a six-inch Little Prince cake, with ‘Happy Birthday to Little Baby Ye Zhile’ written on it.
Ye Zhile happily made a wish and blew out the candles. When it was time to cut the cake, Ye Zhile took out his phone, took a picture, and sent it to Ji Shuohan.
Ye Zhile: [Leader look! The cake Big Brother and Second Brother got me for my belated birthday! Isn’t it cute?] [Image]
“Who are you chatting with?” Ye Zhijin turned his head. Seeing Ye Zhile hurriedly hide his phone, he looked knowing. “Grown up now, have your own little secrets.”
“What little secret? Is it the Supreme Leader?” Ye Zhichen exposed him.
Ye Zhile gave a hehe laugh. He didn’t hide it. “I sent it for him to see.”
“You’ve liked him since childhood. Does he like you?” Ye Zhijin looked at his baby brother’s silly appearance, terrified he would get hurt. However, Ye Zhile nodded. “He likes me. The Leader said he married me because he likes me.”
Ye Zhijin didn’t speak anymore and exchanged a look with Ye Zhichen.
Ye Zhile didn’t notice the worry between his brothers’ brows; his mind was entirely on Ji Shuohan.
Ji Shuohan: [Mn, Happy Birthday.]
After the birthday celebration, Ye Zhijin had matters to attend to, so he didn’t go back with them. Ye Zhichen was now an instructor and also lived in the school dormitory, so he dropped Ye Zhile off downstairs at the Omega dormitory, told him to rest well, and went back.
