Chapter 28
He Yuan decided to read a book to escape reality for a while.
… But he couldn’t absorb a single word.
Sitting at the desk, he struggled for over an hour. He recognized every character, but once they were strung together, they made no sense. Sigh.
He had no choice but to give up.
During this time, the chef Wen Su had contacted arrivedāan older, very experienced-looking Beta.
He Yuan politely went to greet him, introduced the locations of the kitchen supplies, instructed him to keep the food warm after cooking, and then left.
If a chef had come in the past, he would have certainly observed with great interest, but he didn’t have that motivation now.
General Wen Su didn’t want him as a life assistant anymore, so what was the use of refining his skills?
Depressed.
He decided to use sleep as an escape again. Recently, he had been tossed and turned by General Wen Su almost every day, consuming a huge amount of physical energy, so he really needed to catch up on sleep.
Returning to his own bedroom, which now felt somewhat unfamiliar, he drew the curtains, lit the aromatherapy, selected white noise to play, turned around, climbed into bed, hugged his pillow, and went through the whole routine…
Still couldn’t sleep.
Escape attempt: total failure.
He went back to the living room on the first floor.
It was empty everywhere. The chef had already left. The prepared lunch was covered and arranged neatly on the dining table, but he had absolutely no desire to open it, look at it, smell it, or eat it.
He Yuan curled up on the sofa, hugging his legs.
Sigh, without General Wen Su letting him be a life assistant, his presence in this huge villa had lost its meaning…
Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up and sawāit was a message from his good friend!
He Yuan was suddenly overjoyed. That happiness far exceeded the usual joy of chatting with a friend or being cared for. It was like… being exiled to a deserted island, cut off from everything, and finally being discovered with a chance to escape!
He held up the phone and focused his attention.
[How is the great Assistant He doing lately?] followed by a big smiley face emoji.
He couldn’t tell the truth, of course. He Yuan thought for a moment and typed a vague reply: [Not bad! Just following the routine every day, work is going smoothly. How about you?]
[Also following the routine every day, but busier than before. The Sports Meet is coming up soon, and immediately after that is the Drama Festival. I’m a petty official in the Student Union, so I have to do my part.]
[Wow! I’m so envious!!!]
Sincerely.
Sports Meet, Drama Festivalājust imagining them brought a rush of youthful, lively, and carefree scenes to his mind.
His friend replied: [I’m the one who envies you. You’re balancing your studies and career. With this opportunity, maybe you can work directly for the military in the future.]
The smile on He Yuan’s face froze as he looked at the phone.
To be honest, that was how he had originally envisioned it too. If he could enter the military later and engage in even more important and confidential work to realize his ideal of serving the country, that would be great!
But now, let alone important confidential work, General Wen Su didn’t even want him as an ordinary life assistant anymore.
Actually, he… understood General Wen Su’s mindset.
Marking him during the mating season was an accident. Although the General had no intention of marriage, and although he knew He Yuan was an Omega with a physical defect, he still took responsibility without hesitation. He was truly super responsible!
Since he was to be the partner, naturally, he couldn’t be a life assistant.
Understanding was one thing, but when it actually happened, the details were more or less different from what he had imagined.
He felt that he was currently a little… controlledā
He Yuan thought, both cautiously and very boldly.
If things continued to develop like this, would he have to… marry General Wen Su?
And if he continued to be General Wen Su’s partner, would he never be able to do what he truly wanted to do again?
Was it only General Wen Su who was like this, or were all Alphas like this?
If, if he sincerely raised this point with General Wen Su, would he change?
But would bringing it up now be too fast and too rushed? Inappropriate? Maybe…
Wait and see?
Oh right, his good friend was also an Alpha. He could ask him tactfully.
He lifted his hand from his knee. Glancing at the screen, the other party’s message popped up firstā
[Is your work still just cooking, picking clothes, chatting, and coaxing someone to sleep?]
He Yuan frowned.
That statement didn’t seem wrong, but…
[More than that. I am the head housekeeper of General Wen Su’s base villa and the surrounding grounds. Everything outside of military affairs is within my scope of work! I cooperate with the robot butler here, and the goal is to enhance the humanistic atmosphere and happiness index.]
He Yuan typed very proudly.
Friend: [Is General Wen Su actually quite easy to get along with?]
He Yuan: [Yes, I told you that before.]
Friend: [I heard General Wen Su is in a relationship, is that true?]
He Yuan: !
He got nervous even through the screen. He quickly composed himself, organized his thoughts, and asked in a way that should seem surprised yet nonchalant: [What? Where did you hear that? How come I don’t know?]
A moment later, his friend replied: [On a military forum, just gossip.]
[Oh, oh, then it must be fake!]
[Must be fake? So sure? What if General Wen Su is dating and hiding it from you?]
He Yuan’s spine went cold with a whoosh.
That’s right. If he were just a life assistant, that could genuinely be possible.
He hurriedly tried to salvage the situation: [That’s true too. I’m just saying that based on the current situation I see, he shouldn’t be in a relationship.]
Very guilty.
Sigh, General Wen Su wants to take responsibility for him; could this be called dating?
At this moment, his friend’s message popped up againā
[When I first saw the gossip, I thought the romantic partner was you.]
He Yuan: !!!!!!
He was so scared he almost dropped his phone. He thought, While I was trapped on this deserted island, did the whole world outside already find out?!
He replied in a flurry: [How is that possible! Stop thinking that! No wild guessing!!!]
[Hahahahahaha.]
His friend didn’t continue the chat after laughing; he probably went to get busy.
He Yuan felt a bit empty and fell back onto the sofa.
He had originally wanted his friend to help clear up his confusion, but in the end, not only was he not enlightened, but he was also scared into a mess.
He spent the day in a daze.
Insomnia as usual at night.
He thought, It would be great if I were still at school. The Sports Meet was coming up. Although he wasn’t good at sports, he was great at being a cheerleader!
And the Drama Festival. Although it had nothing to do with his major, he could be in the audience! He could also help with stage design, and maybe even play a small role!
He hadn’t been back to school or seen anyone else for a long time.
Mm, he didn’t mean he regretted it. His current life was his own choice. Embracing his original intention full of ideals, he wasn’t afraid of hardships or difficulties!
It was just that if he could go back to before General Wen Su’s mating season and start over…
So was he regretting it?
He had clearly decided to follow General Wen Su’s pace and try hard to adapt. How could he regret and retreat so quickly?!
He was an adult who kept his word and had a sense of responsibility. He couldn’t be emotional like a child!
He punched the bed in frustration!
…
The long night dragged on. He Yuan thought until he was exhausted, tossing and turning in confusion, not knowing if he was awake or asleep.
When the familiar strength of an embrace came from behind, he didn’t know if he was dreaming or if Wen Su had really come.
“Xiao Yuan.”
The deep voice pressed against his earlobe, carrying a seductive breath that made him tremble.
“Xiao Yuan, are you uncomfortable? Your head is a little hot.”
The large palm covering his forehead was dry and cool. He Yuan sobered up a little.
“General Sir is back?”
Wen Su showed no dissatisfaction with this address because his attention was elsewhere.
“Mm, I’m back. Originally, I didn’t want to disturb your sleep and went straight to my own bedroom. But after being separated from you for a full fifteen hours, if I didn’t see you, I really couldn’t stand it. But I still hesitated, knowing you would wake up once I came… I didn’t want to wake you, so I went to the dining room, planning to drink some ice water to calm myself down, and then I saw the lunch on the table.”
Speaking of this, Wen Su stopped.
A small lamp was on in the bedroom deep at night. In the hazy light, he looked incredibly seriously at He Yuan in his arms, who was squinting, frowning, and half-asleep.
The sumptuous lunch remained exactly as it was when it came out of the pot. He immediately checked the kitchen. As a top soldier, it was easy to determine that no one had entered there for at least twelve hours.
This meant the Omega hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast.
Was it objectively uncomfortable and lacking appetite, or subjectively a bad mood and not wanting to eat?
Starving for a whole day, could the current him sleep well?
Care and worry undoubtedly defeated the selfish desire of missing him. He finally pushed the door open and held his beloved Omega in his arms.
The Omega slept restlessly, moving back and forth, sometimes muttering vaguely. His psychological and physical condition seemed poor, making Wen Su both helpless and anxious.
He couldn’t help but think pessimistically: Is it because I, this Alpha, am too boring and don’t know how to manage an intimate relationship? Am I not as handsome as that superstar Alpha named something-Guang, nor as compatible as the childhood friend whose name is still unknown, disappointing the Omega?
Then he couldn’t help but think optimistically: No, my Omega naturally only loves me. In the past, he remained indomitable despite my numerous rejections, let alone now that the clouds have cleared to reveal the moon, and our hearts reflect each other?
That’s right, the Omega’s discomfort and awkwardness must be due to the same reason as hisā
Longing.
He went out to work and didn’t return for a long time. The Omega couldn’t see him and couldn’t contact or disturb him, so he was upset and anxious.
It was he who made him like this.
He felt very distressed. This distress made him understand “love” more profoundly.
He released his pheromones, trying his best to make them gentle. This was something he was very unaccustomed to and unskilled at, but he was willing to practice hard for He Yuan.
Let the Omega become intoxicated in the sweet scent of wine and have a beautiful dream all night long.
…
When He Yuan woke up the next day, he found himself lying on Wen Su’s lap. Wen Su was wearing a bathrobe, leaning against the headboard, holding a book in his hand.
Seeing him wake up, Wen Su put down the book and touched his forehead: “Mm, the fever is gone.”
He Yuan was surprised: “I had a fever?”
“A slight low fever. I had the robot butler check you last night. Slight stomach pain and low fever, no signs of infection. It should be caused by emotions. I gave you medicine for the fever and to regulate your spleen and stomach.”
He Yuan was even more surprised: “Checked and took medicine, and I actually didn’t wake up?!”
“I used pheromones to make you sleep.”
“Oh.”
As expected of a top-tier Alpha.
After waking up, his fragmented thoughts returned. He Yuan climbed up from Wen Su, sat blankly, and thought, So my emotional problems have become serious enough to cause stomach pain, sigh.
“Move to my bedroom to live,” Wen Su said. “It’s convenient for me to see you all the time.”
To avoid a repeat of this time, where a moment of inattention left the weak Omega physically and mentally hurt.
But when his way of speaking collided with He Yuan’s currently fragile nerves, He Yuan not only failed to understand his true meaning but also misunderstood, thinking that General Wen Su’s desire for control had activated again.
“M-must it be like this?” he asked nervously.
Wen Su thought suspiciously for a moment and said, “I can move to your bedroom too, but we need to change the bed. The current bed is too small.”
Did he mean he couldn’t perform well?
Is that why he didn’t do that last night?
He Yuan couldn’t help but think pessimistically too.
After hesitating for a long time, he further confirmed: “Will I have to be in-inseparable from you, General Sir, in the future?”
Hearing this question, Wen Su thought, Sure enough, yesterday’s Omega was indeed as I guessed, feeling deeply uneasy because of the separation.
He must reassure him.
So he rubbed the top of He Yuan’s head and said decisively, like giving an order: “Of course, absolutely.”
He Yuan: …
It felt like Mount Tai was crushing his head.
His back went cold with a whoosh.
The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally died.
It’s over.
