Chapter 57: This is My Lord’s Duty
After the New Year, Ye Zhile’s school started. On the first day of school, the Supreme Leader dropped him off as usual. Just as Ye Zhile was about to get out of the car, Ji Shuohan grabbed his hood, imitating how Ye Zhile acted every morning when he went to work. “Did Baby forget something?”
Ye Zhile turned his head and gave a ‘hehe’ laugh. He planted a light kiss on Ji Shuohan and got out. “My Lord, remember to miss me~”
“Mn.” Ji Shuohan watched him walk into the school, his eyes dark and indiscernible.
During the lunch break, Leng Xingtu dragged Ye Zhile out to eat barbecue, and also called Lu Xingyan. Lu Xingyan was accompanied by his lackey, Han Haocheng.
“Little beauty! We meet again.” Han Haocheng stepped forward ahead of Lu Xingyan and sat directly across from Ye Zhile. He smiled with a face rippling with spring affection. Lu Xingyan couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped him directly on the back of his head.
Han Haocheng glared angrily at Lu Xingyan in pain.
Ye Zhile found this person quite amusing. He laughed out loud. “Hello, my name is Ye Zhile.”
“Hello, hello. Let me officially introduce myself. My name is Han Haocheng, a Top-tier Alpha, twenty years old this year, hehe.” Han Haocheng couldn’t wait to dig out his entire family background to present to him. The more he looked at Ye Zhile, the more he liked him; he completely hit every point of his aesthetic preferences.
Ye Zhile nodded. He looked at Lu Xingyan and then at him. “Are you Xingyan ge‘s roommate?”
“Yes, but I’m not in his class. I’m in the class next door,” Han Haocheng said.
Ye Zhile understood.
There was someone specifically grilling the meat. After it was done, the young waiter suddenly pulled out a pen and said to Ye Zhile, “Student Ye Zhile, could I get an autograph?”
Ye Zhile didn’t expect this scene. He paused for a moment and said, “I’m not a celebrity either. How about… we all take a group photo together? Is that okay?”
“Okay, okay!” The young waiter hastily handed his phone to another waiter, asking him to help take the picture.
Han Haocheng, this guy, was very enthusiastic, laughing broadly and flashing a V-sign at the camera. After the group photo was taken, the young waiter was incredibly excited and thanked him profusely.
“Haha, following our Lele lets us experience what it feels like to be a celebrity,” Leng Xingtu teased.
Ye Zhile smiled without speaking. The two people sitting across from them fell silent for a moment.
“Little beau—no, I mean… Lele? I can call you that, right?” Han Haocheng asked him. Seeing Ye Zhile nod, he asked again, “How long have you and the Supreme Leader been married?”
“Half a year,” Ye Zhile said. “Why?”
“N-nothing.” Han Haocheng secretly cast a glance at Lu Xingyan. Bro, we have no chance.
“…” Lu Xingyan rolled his eyes at him without any disguise. Nonsense, do you even need to say it?!
“What are you two making eyes at each other for?” Leng Xingtu caught their little movements.
Lu Xingyan coughed lightly. “Nothing.”
“I’m very curious how you two got to know each other. This guy Lu Xingyan is usually so quietly reserved, and he actually goes out to make friends?” Leng Xingtu said.
Lu Xingyan was speechless. “You’re the quietly reserved one.”
“Haha…” Ye Zhile couldn’t hold back his laughter. Watching these two bicker was always very entertaining.
“How we got to know each other… let me think.” Han Haocheng rubbed his chin. “I think it was on the day of the mecha simulated flight. We had a one-on-one match, and the result was a draw. Then I wanted to go meet him, and over time we got to know each other.”
“Then you two really have quite a bit of destiny,” Leng Xingtu said.
“I think so too.” Han Haocheng nudged Lu Xingyan. “Right, A’yan?”
Lu Xingyan shot him a look, too lazy to humor him.
The weather was gradually warming up. Sitting by the window, the few of them could even see the greenery not far away sprouting tender buds. At this moment, several mechas streaked across the sky, flying into the distance.
Han Haocheng rested his chin on his hand and sighed deeply. “Sigh~ We’re going to fight a war again.”
Ye Zhile also raised his head. At this moment, he heard Han Haocheng say, “I heard that the war between Rhea Star and the Empire has broken out completely this time, and the Supreme Leader will personally go into battle.”
“What?” Ye Zhile’s heart skipped a beat. Leng Xingtu turned his head. “Lele, didn’t you know? Your Big Brother, Second Brother, and the Supreme Leader will all go into battle. Brother Yuanqing will also follow along as the accompanying military doctor.”
Ye Zhile felt as if he had been struck hard on the head, remaining dazed and unable to recover his senses for a long time.
“Lele, are you okay?” Leng Xingtu put his arm around his shoulders. Ye Zhile looked up. “I’m fine…”
Ye Zhile returned home, waiting until the Supreme Leader arrived before letting the kitchen staff serve the food. Ji Shuohan handed his coat to the servant, stepped forward to hug Ye Zhile, and said intimately, “Next time, eat first by yourself. You don’t have to wait for me.”
Ye Zhile hugged his waist, resting his face against his chest. Ji Shuohan sensed something wasn’t quite right with him. “What’s wrong?”
“I heard…” Ye Zhile looked up. “My Lord, Big Brother, and Second Brother are going into battle together, is that true?”
Ji Shuohan gazed at the person in his arms. Only after a long while did he give an ‘mn’.
It felt as if a thorn had been violently pierced into Ye Zhile’s heart, bleeding profusely from the pain. Yet, outwardly, he was very calm. He didn’t say anything more. Releasing Ji Shuohan, he pulled him over to sit down and eat.
Ye Zhile put food in the Supreme Leader’s bowl. Seeing the adult constantly watching him, he gave a light laugh. “Why is My Lord looking at me? Eat.”
Ji Shuohan grasped his hand. “Don’t worry.”
Ye Zhile smiled, “I’m not worried at all. They all say My Lord went to the battlefield at eighteen and is extremely heroic. My Lord is very formidable.”
Seeing Ye Zhile forcing a smile, Ji Shuohan felt very uneasy in his heart. He pulled the person into his embrace, stroking the back of his head. “That’s right, My Lord is very formidable. Nothing will happen.”
Ye Zhile hugged him tight, a scalding tear falling onto Ji Shuohan’s neck.
After eating, Ye Zhile washed up and lay in bed. Ji Shuohan also returned from the study. Ye Zhile’s gaze followed him the entire time, watching him shower in the bathroom, and watching him come out.
Being looked at by that soft gaze melted Ji Shuohan’s heart. He dried his hair, got into bed, and pulled the person into his arms, kissing the top of his head. “It’s fine, Baby.”
Ye Zhile leaned against his chest, ultimately unable to hold back from asking, “When are you guys leaving?”
“The day after tomorrow…” Ji Shuohan said. He cast his eyes down at Ye Zhile’s trembling eyelashes, explaining to him, “Rhea Star has been continuously launching attacks toward the Empire’s borders. Multiple cities have fallen, so I must go.”
“I know,” Ye Zhile said. “This is My Lord’s duty.”
“Zhile…” Ji Shuohan wrapped his arm around Ye Zhile’s shoulders, never having felt that his Omega was this thin and frail before. Obedient, sensible, strong, and brave, but also the most delicate.
The next day, Ye Zhile woke up unusually early on a day when he had no classes. He washed up and followed behind the adult. Ji Shuohan turned around. “Zhile wants to go to the Ministry with me?”
“Mn.” Ye Zhile nodded. “Just this once.”
Ji Shuohan held his hand, indulging him. “As many times as you want is fine.”
