Chapter 29
After a few more days of being “inseparable,” He Yuan finally got a chance to catch his breath—
The military summoned the generals for a meeting, and accompanying personnel were not allowed.
Wen Su’s face was very ugly, after all, this did not match the promise he had solemnly made not long ago.
“I’ll contact headquarters and submit a special application.”
Immediately, He Yuan’s breath hitched again.
“No need, it’s not like there’s a special reason we have to go together. Why break the rules? If the military doesn’t allow accompanying personnel, it means this meeting must be super confidential and important! Work is the most important thing!” He tried hard to persuade him.
Wen Su frowned, his expression wavering.
Even though he had upgraded to version 2.0, he was still a top-tier general of the Star Source Alliance and could distinguish priority.
“But…”
A struggle to the death wouldn’t hurt.
He Yuan immediately added: “And I actually… didn’t really want to go. I’d rather stay here and wait for you to come back.”
His voice lowered, hoping Wen Su wouldn’t be angry.
Wen Su was full of doting love for his Omega now, how could he be angry?
Thinking from the Omega’s perspective, for a meeting that didn’t allow accompanying personnel, even if he forcibly applied to go together, they probably wouldn’t have much time to accompany each other. They might even be restricted in movement during the meeting, which would be no different from being in jail.
Indeed, it was better to be at home.
And he said “wait for you to come back,” which reminded Wen Su of an old saying—
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
It sounded very nice.
“Then take good care of yourself alone at home.”
Success!!!
He Yuan nodded very happily: “Mm! And I’m not alone, the robot butler is here. I’ll play with it if I’m bored!”
Wen Su smiled and said: “I’ll contact you whenever I have time. You don’t need to consider too much, don’t be afraid of disturbing me, you can contact me anytime.”
“Oh!”
Wen Su stepped forward to rub his head, hugged him and kissed him for a long time, and finally simply wanted him severely several times in a sitting posture on the sofa—probably wanting to finish in advance what couldn’t be done during the separation.
He savored it all the way on the journey.
The Omega’s expression was cutest at times like that.
If it was like that, it was a little excessive.
Specific details, such as time, place, method, words, rhythm… all should be constantly adjusted and changed to add freshness.
Unfortunately, the meeting duration was uncertain, and he didn’t know when the next time would be.
Arriving at the military headquarters meeting room in great torment, Wen Su finally stopped letting his imagination run wild and entered work mode.
But having upgraded, he unconsciously emitted an aura he had never emitted before. He thought he was being low-key, but in the eyes of this group of the most elite and keen Alphas, the current him was a male peacock frantically spreading its tail.
The meeting was indeed very important. Special activities were detected in the peripheral star regions of the Star Source Alliance. The technical department provided a preliminary analysis and asked the core generals to formulate strategies.
The current situation was unclear, and everyone had their own ideas. It was already three days later when a unified strategy and Plan B were finally produced.
Tulip Admiral Song Pei finally found a chance to speak to Wen Su alone.
“Seven hours of free activity time, what do you plan to do?”
Song Pei put his arm around Wen Su’s shoulder.
Wen Su turned sideways to push away the hand on his shoulder. He thought to himself that what he wanted most now was to return to the base to see his Omega as fast as possible.
There was enough time for a round trip, but it was too short, and it would aggravate the pain of parting.
After thinking it over, he decided against it.
“Nothing, going back to the room to rest,” he said expressionlessly.
Song Pei’s expression was spectacular. He leaned in like a detective, his eyes extremely playful: “Resting in the room? Can you hold back?”
Wen Su: ?
“Before, you sat there like a big ice block, with a lightning barrier covering the ice block, written all over your body was ‘stay away from me, I hate you all’. Now? Like a volcano flowing with magma, collar open, eyes that used to look straight ahead now wandering everywhere, saying ‘come and try, see if it’s hot’. For an Alpha like you, it’s really easy to judge whether you’ve gone into rut or not.”
Wen Su: …
He stared at Song Pei, and Song Pei stared back, with a teasing smile of “I was right, wasn’t I?”
A moment later, Wen Su looked away first.
He didn’t hate Song Pei. It could be said that Song Pei was the only guy besides He Yuan who could be called his “acquaintance” or even “friend.”
He sighed almost imperceptibly and said: “Alphas don’t call it rut (estrus), they call it courtship.”
Song Pei laughed loudly: “Courtship, and then what?”
“None of your business.” Wen Su walked away.
Song Pei followed him, laughing and joking: “How sweet, the little Omega life assistant named He Yuan!”
Wen Su immediately threw a warning glare.
Song Pei raised his hands in surrender: “I’m just speaking your inner voice, okay?!”
Wen Su said no more.
The two walked out of the military headquarters together. Song Pei checked the time, and Wen Su asked subconsciously: “What are you going to do?”
“Made an appointment with a designer to customize new clothes for the next season.”
Wen Su frowned in non-comprehension, thinking this person really had too much energy to burn.
“Want to go together? Measure your size too.”
“No need, I…” Wen Su was about to refuse out of habit, then suddenly paused.
He didn’t need it, but…
In the end, he broke precedent and went with Song Pei.
He thought, for the first separation, he should prepare some gifts when he went back.
The Omega’s clothes and shoes were a bit old. He should make some new ones, and they had to be very, very good.
The Omega was so cute; wearing specially customized clothes, he would surely look like an angel.
Arriving at the designer’s studio, Song Pei discussed ideas with the designer, while Wen Su sat aside drinking tea and flipping through a lookbook.
Song Pei’s designer was very formidable. Every piece of clothing and accessory in the lookbook was quite eye-catching. He wished he could buy them all for He Yuan.
He imagined He Yuan wearing them, posing in various cute ways. His heart felt warm, and he rarely felt relaxed and comfortable during a break from work.
Not long after, another person came in, carrying a large box and heading straight for Song Pei.
“General Sir, these are the clothes that need maintenance recently.”
“Okay, put them here,” Song Pei said, then looked at the designer. “Sorry to trouble you. Your maintenance service here is still the one I trust the most.”
“You are too polite, this is what we should do.”
Wen Su temporarily left the imaginary world and silently watched all this—
Originally he wasn’t looking. When that person came in, he only glanced out of the corner of his eye. It wasn’t until he heard the very familiar address “General Sir” that he looked up from the lookbook.
The newcomer was a male Beta, very young, standing honestly beside Song Pei.
After a while, Song Pei finished chatting with the designer, turned his head and said to that Beta: “I have nothing else here, you go back first.”
“Okay.” The Beta bowed slightly, his attitude very respectful.
Wen Su’s gaze followed the Beta’s figure.
His gaze was deep.
He hadn’t seen this Beta before, yet he felt his words and deeds were… oddly familiar.
On the way back, he couldn’t help asking Song Pei: “Was that Beta just now a new officer?”
Direct subordinates of core generals with special titles like them were usually officers too, just of lower rank.
Logically speaking, even if the rank was low, if a newcomer came to the military, he shouldn’t be completely unaware.
Just as he was puzzled, Song Pei said: “How could that be? That’s my life assistant.”
Wen Su was even more puzzled: “Life assistant? You have a life assistant too?”
Now it was Song Pei’s turn to be puzzled: “Everyone has one. Why can’t I, the dignified Tulip Admiral, have one?”
Wen Su was even more puzzled, feeling his brain knotting up: “Everyone has one?”
“Yes,” Song Pei said as if it were obvious. “Otherwise? Only you can have one? Although I don’t want to admit that you are indeed the one with the most merit and the most dazzling achievements in this generation of generals, distributing a mere life assistant isn’t a small matter worth engaging in special treatment for you, right? Wen Su, I’m not afraid to tell you honestly, I’ve already thought it through. This time if we really decide to go to war, I’ll be the first to go. You guys aren’t allowed to snatch it from me. I must let you open your eyes and see the Tulip Admiral’s true strength, hear me?”
Of course he didn’t hear.
The dignified Tulip Admiral’s passionate declaration of war was completely in vain because the dignified Rose Admiral was thoroughly confused.
A very terrible thought appeared completely in his mind. Wen Su’s back went cold, and he involuntarily quickened his pace.
Suddenly turning back into the 1.0 version of “Ice Block + Lightning Barrier + Stay Away From Me,” Song Pei was quite baffled.
Back in the room, Wen Su didn’t turn on the lights, didn’t take off his coat, didn’t do any cleaning. He went straight to the sofa nearest the door and sat down, elbows pressing on his knees, and began to think.
He suspected that He Yuan was not the Omega specially selected by the military to help him pass the courtship period smoothly.
Reason one: Song Pei said everyone has a life assistant.
Reason two: He Yuan had always claimed to be a life assistant and attached great importance to the work of a life assistant.
Reason three: He Yuan suffered from Congenital Gland Closure Syndrome. The military probably wouldn’t pair him with a fake Omega.
But these reasons were not absolutely sufficient.
After all, a life assistant and a paired Omega could exist at the same time. Gland Closure Syndrome could also be considered a deliberate act by the military out of fear that irreversible consequences might occur. Most importantly, from the beginning of the courtship period until now, He Yuan never complained and accepted it extremely well. He didn’t look unprepared at all.
And even if he retreated ten thousand steps…
Wen Su involuntarily gritted his teeth.
He didn’t want to think like this, but! Just for now! Retreat ten thousand steps!
Even if He Yuan really wasn’t a special arrangement by the military, as long as he loved him, as long as they were sincere, everything else wasn’t important.
… Because he loved him sincerely.
So, did He Yuan also love him?
After sorting it out, Wen Su raised this ultimate question.
His forehead was sweating, his fingertips were trembling slightly, and his throat and chest were also hot.
He was nervous.
For so many years, hundreds of battles, big and small, no matter how powerful and terrifying the opponent, no matter how dark the interstellar abyss, had never made him nervous. But now he was nervous.
Very unfamiliar.
Unfamiliarity breeds fear.
Fear easily magnifies fear.
He stood up and paced irritably.
Actually, there was no need to think. Everything he suspected would be revealed with just a phone call to his superior and another phone call to He Yuan.
Stopping to check his watch, there was half an hour left until the free activity ended.
Would two phone calls be enough?
No, completely enough. One question each, one minute is enough.
But…
Half an hour.
Fifteen minutes.
Ten minutes.
Five minutes.
He still hadn’t made up his mind.
Until the last three minutes.
His heart beat fast, making a huge thump thump thump sound in his ears.
On the phone screen, He Yuan’s contact avatar was his unique cute smile, eyes curved into crescents.
Wen Su’s fingers kept shaking, so much so that in the end, he wasn’t sure if it was his brain or those out-of-control fingers that made the decision.
He was the top general of the Star Source Alliance and needed to maintain calm at all times to make the most correct judgment.
But now, he lost control.
Base Villa.
The phone rang in the living room. He Yuan ran in from outside, shouting: “Coming, coming, don’t rush!”
