The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers

Edited by Qiuxue and Noks

After Le Yao’s sudden disappearance, Yang Hengtian and Yan Jie simply stared at each other for a minute. The former, like the latter, said nothing to break the awkward silence.

Yan Jie, after looking at him for a moment more and still feeling confused, slowly shifted his sight to their surroundings.

This was obviously a living room. A gray and white hexagonal living room with windows on three sides, from which adequate morning light was shining in. A set of pure white leather sofas were placed against one of the windowed walls, and the main seat of that sofa set faced the door.

Due to white being the dominant color, the entire living room looked especially bright and clean, but also had a sense of abstinence, which was indeed Yang Hengtian’s style.

The question was: why did he appear here?

Yan Jie poked at one of the sofas uneasily and turned to Yang Hengtian. “This is your own room?”

The two of them had only begun to become closer, after a long time separation, due to working together on Huaxia’s reconstruction project. It was really no wonder that Yan Jie hadn’t visited Yang Hengtian’s room in Tarot in the past.

“En.” Yang Hengtian still had some doubts and asked, “Don’t you want to finish this dream first?” A moment ago, Yan Jie had stopped him from talking, with the reasoning that he needed to finish his dream before letting him talk.

“I’m already in my dream. How can I finish it if I leave? I can only continue and finish it here.” Yan Jie sat down on the sofa and his expression fully reflected his inner thoughts, that everything in front of him was just an ’illusion’. He patted the free space next to him. “Don’t just stand there. Come, sit with me and let’s chat.”

“... Are you sure that this is a dream?” Yang Hengtian also felt that it was very strange, but he also didn’t feel that it was a dream.

He knew that he had an appointment with one of his business partners this morning, and remembered the business that should be discussed in that meeting, as well as the fact that his remaining itinerary for the day was as clear as water. If this was a dream, he shouldn’t be able to remember the whole day’s activities so clearly and reasonably. After all, no one in the world would be able to dream up his whole day of work with such realism, right?

“Think about it, if this isn’t a dream, then is it possible for this to be reality?” said Yan Jie. “I was in the Flying Wolf Division in Huaxia five minutes ago. Do you think that I could be here in Tarot in reality?”

Yang Hengtian couldn’t say a word.

He sat down next to Yan Jie, thought for a moment and asked his assistant to contact his business partner to see if he really was wrong. However, before his AI could do so, he was successfully interrupted by Yan Jie’s own AI.

“It’s not a dream, Mr Yang.” Yan Jie’s assistant said, “Mr Xiao Le indeed sent Officer Yan here to spend a night with you using his special ability. But it’s better not to let any more people know about it, so as to not to cause unnecessary trouble for Mr Xiao Le.”

“How could that be?!” Yan Jie was shocked at this discovery.

“Officer Yan, it’s true, this is real. Leslie has also confirmed this. In order to let you two meet again in the future, it’s better to keep Mr Xiao Le’s ability confidential.”

“But I was in Huaxia only moments ago. Now you tell me that I’m...” Yan Jie turned to look at Yang Hengtian, “Isn’t this your home? In Tarot?!”

“Yes.” Yang Hengtian also felt this situation was rather magical.

What kind of ability can cross the time and distance between planets and send a person to him in an instant?

Nonetheless, it was undeniably amazing. Yang Hengtian was simply too pleased at being able to see his beloved again. So, he instructed his assistant to delay his appointment.

Yan Jie was embarrassed and said, “You should go to work first. I’ll still be here anyway.”

Yang Hengtian replied with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. Nothing is more important than you.”

His words sounded simple, but for someone experiencing love for the first time, it was too lethal. It really made Yan Jie’s heart beat in disorder!

Like a donkey’s lips that didn’t match a horse’s mouth, he suddenly said, “Ahem, your room here is quite good.”

Yang Hengtian smiled, “It’s good that you like it. Since the wife of my family likes it, there is no need to redesign it again.”

Yan Jie: “...” I didn’t say I wanted to move in with you!

Besides, who the hell is your family’s wife!

Yan Jie squinted at Yang Hengtian, then quietly pinched his thigh.

No pain.

Yang Hengtian raised his eyebrows.

“Why? It doesn’t hurt at all.” Yan Jie added, “It really isn’t a dream?”

“Of course it didn’t hurt. The one you pinched was me.” Yang Hengtian smiled, and leaned closer to Yan Jie’s ear. He whispered, “Should I let you feel some pain to truly see whether it’s a dream?”

“You... Mmh!!!

His lips were sucked fiercely, and the slight tingling was accompanied by a feeling of numbness. Yan Jie’s mind was in a complete mess, as if it had been electrified. However, the Alpha’s strong physique made him unable to resist, moreover, he did not want to resist. After a while, he even took the initiative to hug Yang Hengtian’s neck and lick at the other’s lips shyly.

He was too embarrassed to say anything at that moment. Although their separation had only been two or three days long, when he actually managed to embrace this dearly missed person, it felt like a year had passed.

Yang Hengtian tightened his arms around Yan Jie and his breath trembled a little. Suddenly, he felt a slight prick on his chest. He propped himself up slightly, took out the pendant hanging on Yan Jie’s neck and smiled, “Didn’t you previously say that you wouldn’t wear it?”

Yan Jie subconsciously snatched it back and said nervously, “You gave it to me, so it’s mine. Why do you care if I wear it or not?”

His nervous face made Yang Hengtian want to laugh, but he felt very satisfied.

“Isn’t it night time over in Huaxia? Haven’t you been sleeping well these past two days? The dark circles around your eyes are so noticeable.”

“Really? I’ve been sleeping well, though.”

As a matter of fact, he was always thinking about a certain someone when he laid down in bed these days. It was indeed true that he hadn’t been sleeping very well. There were some things that he couldn’t discuss with Le Yao, and these things were his heaviest burden.

Although Yang Hengtian had two younger brothers, in the end, he was still the eldest son of the Yang Family and an excellent Alpha. Generally speaking, he should find a good Omega to marry.

In addition to being a Beta, Yan Jie didn’t have an impressive family background, his parents were already gone. He wondered if Yang Hengtian’s parents would object to him being their son’s partner.

What if they didn’t like him working on Huaxia?

He definitely wouldn’t leave the Flying Wolf Division and his status as a ’soldier’!

Knowing that his thoughts were wandering around, Yang Hengtian didn’t interrupt. By the time Yan Jie finally reacted, he realized that his chest felt a little chilly. He looked down and found that his upper garment was wide open! He didn’t even know when his shirt had been unbuttoned!

Yang Hengtian then said, “Can I hold you to sleep?”

Just as Yan Jie was about to refuse, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside.

“Big Brother! Big Brother, help me! Ah ah!!!”

Then, before Yang Hengtian could say anything, a man opened the door with a ’bang!’ and ran into the living room like a bullet shooting from a gun!

Following him was another voice, “Brat! It’s useless for you to seek Eldest Brother’s help! I have to make you remember that today I—“

When the last person entered and saw the scene on the sofa, he fell as silent as a rooster caught by its neck.

“Big-Big brother,” his voice was tinged with a slightly guilty conscience even as he quickly ran in.

Yang Hengtian carefully rebuttoned Yan Jie’s clothes. Seeing Yan Jie turn his head away with red ears, he frowned and said coldly, “What are you doing this early in the morning?”

The tone was not too harsh, but it made the two people stiffen, just like wooden chickens.

Yang Hengyu, the third son of the Yang Family, glanced at his second brother, Yang Hengxi, and said in a rather wronged tone, “Eldest Brother, Second Brother wants to hit me.”

When Yang Hengxi heard of this, he held back his impulse to really hit his younger brother. “You still have the face to say that?! If you hadn’t broken the present I wanted to give to your Second Sister-in-law, why would I hit you?!”

Yang Hengyu argued back, “I didn’t mean to. And I didn’t know it was a present for Second Sister-in-law!”

As he said this he scuttled slowly towards Yang Hengtian like a crab, and carefully peeked at the person beside him, whose face was hidden.

“Eldest Brother, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had a guest here.”

Yang Hengtian glanced at Yan Jie and smiled.

“Who says he is a guest? He is clearly a family member.”

Yan Jie was so embarrassed by the other’s words that he couldn’t wait to dig a hole to hide in. He took advantage of his position to elbow Yang Hengtian. He whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense! Who is your family?”

Yang Hengtian said, “Aren’t you?”

Yang Hengyu: “...”

Yang Hengxi: “...”

Yan Jie and Yang Hengxi had been classmates for many years, but the former had never been in the mood to talk about the matter of his feelings towards Yang Hengtian.

If it was going to be announced in such a sudden and shocking way, he would really feel too embarrassed. Especially upon being caught in such a situation, so embarrassing ah!

Yang Hengxi suddenly realized that the person held inside his eldest brother’s arms was actually wearing a military uniform!

The man didn’t turn his head around, so he couldn’t clearly see or recognize him. However, the military uniform he was wearing was that of the Flying Wolf Division, so he must be a person from the Flying Wolf Division!

But wait, the style of the communicator on his wrist was a little familiar...

“Holy shit! Yan Jie... you!” Yang Hengxi looked at his Eldest Brother in surprise, and pointed his finger to his old classmate, who was slowly showing his face. “Eldest brother, you are with Yan Jie?! Oh man, I can’t believe this! When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Why do I need to inform you of when I’m chasing the person I like?” Yang Hengtian chuckled. “And, just talk to him normally, don’t point your finger like that.”

“Oh!” Yang Hengxi hurriedly put his hand away. “I’m not worried about it. Before, you told Mom that you had someone you liked, and then you didn’t tell us who it was. We thought you were chasing someone with an unknown origin. If you had told us earlier that it was Yan Jie, we wouldn’t have to guess. But damn, you chased after my good brother, ah!”

“Hello, Brother Yan Jie.” Yang Hengyu had met Yan Jie once before. Although he had still been young at that time, he had a very good memory, so he still remembered him well. It was just that, he didn’t expect to meet him again.

“Hello.” Yan Jie smiled and then turned to Yang Hengxi, “You call yourself my brother, so can you still save some face for me?”

“If I save face for you, will you be my sister-in-law?” replied Yang Hengxi after a pause. “It seems fair.”

“How is this damn fair? Are you looking for a beating?” Yan Jie was speechless after hearing his words.

“Don’t tease me. Who are you going to beat?” said Yang Hengxi. “You couldn’t beat me before, can you do it even now?”

“You!” Yan Jie could not refute.

At this time, Yang Hengtian slowly smiled from beside him and said, “That was before. Do you dare to lift your hand at him now?”

Yang Hengxi: “...”

Yang Hengxi gulped upon feeling terror and chose to save his small life. He hurriedly came over to pour a glass of water for Yan Jie. “Sister-in-law, I was wrong, please drink some water!”

Yan Jie took the glass from him and said, “Don’t call me sister-in-law, call me Big Brother Jie instead, hehe.”

“You asshole, why should I—” Then upon seeing his Eldest Brother’s eyes, he immediately changed his words, “Big Brother Jie!”

Yang Hengyu was stunned to see it, and burst out into hearty laughter. “Ha ha ha ha ha! Second Brother, you’re so funny!”

Yang Hengtian then intervened, “Okay, right now he should be working at the Flying Wolf Division in Huaxia. It was not easy for him to come here and accompany me for this short while. So, you two, stop your ruckus and don’t tell anyone.”

Yang Hengxi asked, “What about our parents?”

Yang Hengtian turned to see Yan Jie, “Do you want to see my parents?”

Yan Jie didn’t get time to consider the matter well, as voices of other people had suddenly sounded from outside.

It should be two people, one was Madam Yang; Yang Hengtian’s mother, and the other was a young man, but Yan Jie was not sure of his identity.

The man’s voice was very gentle. He said, “Aunt Su, will Brother Hengtian be staying for a long time after his return this time?”

Madam Yang said with a smile, “I’m not sure about that. You can ask him yourself later.”

Yan Jie looked at Yang Hengtian confusedly, but he missed the worries that flashed through Yang Hengxi and Yang Hengyu’s eyes.
