The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers - Chapter 78
Editor: Noks
Le Yao was good-looking, good-natured, skilled in cooking, and had special abilities. He was like a heavenly being who wasn’t supposed to descend to earth. Both Xu Wei and Xiang Xing were very satisfied to have Le Yao as their daughter-in-law. They felt that their own son wasn’t worthy of being with him instead.
This marriage is a really good one!
Two more people now existed who treasured Le Yao. Although Xu Wei and Xiang Xing couldn’t do anything for Le Yao in their current situation, their concern was sufficient. Even if they didn’t see each other during the day, after night fell, the old couple would accompany him in shopping online, selecting baby products, watching TV or even just walking around the yard. Previously, only Xu Yao could do all this, but now the old couple could also substitute. They also reminisced about Xu Yao’s childhood. Even though there weren’t many memories, he was happy to listen to them.
Le Yao thought that this was what a family should look like, unlike the Le Family.
He decided to bring the old couple with him when he returned to Huaxia. In the future, wherever they went, the family would stick together.
“Want to go back to Huaxia so soon?” Xu Yao gently stroked Le Yao’s bulging stomach. “The temperature in Tarot right now is perfectly comfortable, isn’t it good to stay here?”
“It’s good. But I still want to go back.” Le Yao pillowed his head on his arm and wondered why he felt a little antsy. “By the way, how much longer will the conference last for?”
“Half a month. There are still many things to be discussed, so it will take a long time. What’s up? Have you been bored recently?”
Le Yao had no friends on Tarot. Ji Fengyu couldn’t come out during daytime and the old couple couldn’t be here at that time either. Le Yao had nothing to do except to give Han Mo and Yan Jie lessons. However, Yan Jie had tasks to complete after they arrived here, so Le Yao seldom saw other people during the day except for the guards.
“It’s not boring, but there’s something I think I want to do,” said Le Yao.
“What is it?”
“Going to school and applying for online classes to take at home. I checked its details on the school’s website today, and to apply for it, I have to be accompanied by my parents,” said Le Yao. “But I don’t want to find Le Feishan, let alone Jiang Xinduo. If I don’t do this, I can’t attend those online classes at home and my diploma will be gone. I just happen to have a bit of free time now, so I want to take classes during the day.”
“That’s it?” Xu Yao smiled, “I was wondering which matter had tangled you up like this. Shall I go with you?”
“But the condition is that it must be a parent, and you are not my parent.”
“Un. I’m not your parent, but your husband. Don’t worry, your husband will take care of it for you.”
As soon as Le Yao heard this, he was relieved. Ever since Le Yao got together with him, Xu Yao had never let him down. If he said that it would be done, he would definitely get it done.
However, Xu Yao was swamped with work for the next three days. It wasn’t until the fourth day after that conversation that he had the time to take Le Yao to his school.
In the morning, Xu Yao put on his military uniform—since he had to go to the Hall of the Great Moon in the afternoon, he couldn’t wear casual clothes. He flew directly to Le Yao’s school with him. Le Yao’s school was an all-inclusive college, with alpha, beta and omega students.
After parking the hover car in the hangar inside the school, Xu Yao took Le Yao straight to the head teacher’s office.
It just so happened that class had ended at this time, so there were many students on the school grounds. Someone saw Le Yao, with a huge stomach, walk together with a man. He immediately rubbed his eyes. There were almost no pregnant people in the school. Basically, if they found out that they were pregnant, they would take a leave from school and wouldn’t come to classes until they recovered from giving birth. Otherwise, they would apply for online classes as soon as they found out about their pregnancy. Thus, it was rare to see someone with a bulging stomach walk around school.
“Okay, I’m confused, is that Le Yao?!” One of Le Yao’s classmates saw him and his chin almost dropped to the ground. “He’s really pregnant!!!”
The guy who liked to beat people up whenever he became angry was actually pregnant!
“My God, it’s really him. Then is the person next to him Xu Yan Wang?”
“I think so. Didn’t photos of Xu Yan Wang previously spread on the Internet? Yan Chaozheng, see how he protects Le Yao? I don’t think it’s wrong.”
“Didn’t Le Yao quit school already? Why did he come back here all of a sudden?” Le Yao was famous in the school, there were only a few students who didn’t know about him. Everyone knew that he was a good-looking fellow but had a bad temper. If he wasn’t satisfied with something, he would create a ruckus. But was it because of the marriage? They felt that the Le Yao they were seeing now felt very different from before.
“However, they don’t look much like a husband and wife pair. Xu Yan Wang’s aura is so strong that when he walks with Le yao, it feels like an uncle and nephew who are strolling together.”
Xu Yao: “…”
Xu Yao suddenly came to a halt, then turned to search for the source from where that comment originated, and accurately zeroed in on the right person. It was clearly impossible for him to have seen the person who said it from the angle he was walking in before, but he did succeed in locking onto his target. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s and as cold as an ice saber, extremely lethal. The targeted student suddenly froze, and felt as if he was surrounded by an ice wall.
Le Yao simply smiled widely, “Uncle, don’t just stand here, my online class application still depends on you.”
Xu Yao slightly tickled Le Yao’s nose, smiled in response and uttered a single word, “Naughty.”
This smile simply showed onlookers the affection between them, and also how the husband doted on and pampered his wife.
TMD, these two were just…
A certain someone, who hadn’t come to school for eight hundred years, came just to spread dog food!
So it is true that these two people have such good feelings for each other?!
Le Yao didn’t feel embarrassed at it either. He turned his head and kissed Xu Yao’s face, then held Xu Yao’s arm and continued to walk forward, looking just like a little fanboy.
During this entire event, there were many onlookers, and some of them took pictures while some gossiped about it. Suddenly, someone shouted all the way from the teaching building, “Le Yao, are you coming to class?”
When Le Yao looked up and realized that it was a classmate, he replied, “No! I came to apply for online classes!”
Another student, who was standing next to him, asked, “Are you really pregnant with triplets?”
Le Yao put on a bold face and replied, “Yeah!”
A different student commented, “You are too hard working, ah!”
Le Yao laughed, “Nonsense. It’s mainly my husband who is powerful!”
Students: “Ha ha ha ha ha! Shit, how dare you say that?”
Xu Yao: “…”
Le Yao waved and walked towards the head teacher’s office with a laugh.
Mr Qin, the head teacher, was a beta adult and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Le Yao and Xu Yao entered the office, he went through the registration procedures for Le Yao’s online classes and didn’t ask many questions. Just as Xu Yao was about to sign it, Mr Qin said, “Le Yao, are you sure you want to take online classes? In fact, in such a situation, you can apply for a special leave first and then resume classes after recovering from giving birth.”
“No, Teacher. I’m fine now. In addition, I have nothing to do and it’ll be good to listen to classes at home,” said Le Yao.
After hearing these words come from Le Yao’s mouth, Mr Qin looked at him slightly stunned, then smiled and said to Xu Yao, “General Xu, if only you had married him two years earlier, I could still have saved some hair. He was so naughty before. I’m glad he has become better after marrying you now.”
Xu Yao smiled and said, “Mr Qin, you’re wrong, he has always been very good.”
This statement caused Mr Qin to choke for a moment. After a while, he smiled awkwardly and said, “I will send your study materials to you later. Le Yao, you should study more earnestly, and try not to fail in any subject.”
“Sure. Teacher, I’m sorry to trouble you today,” replied Le Yao.
“It was no trouble. Let’s go. I’ll send you out.”
The break was already over, so there was no one on the school grounds this time. Mr Qin sent Le Yao and Xu Yao downstairs before returning to his office.
Le Yao asked Xu Yao, “Husband, did you call him in advance? He was so polite and agreed with us without asking for more.”
Xu Yao replied, “I didn’t call him. It should be your Principal who must have told him. Your Principal’s son is the head of the project which aims to build Huaxia into our second home.”
“Ah?! The Principal seems to be in his fifties. The Principal’s son… he shouldn’t be too old. Is he an Alpha, too?”
“Yes. You have seen him in the Hall of the Great Moon, he was the one with the most questions.”
Le Yao seemed to remember him a bit, but since he was really sleepy that night, the impression he had of this person wasn’t very deep.
Xu Yao raised his wrist and looked at the time. Seeing that he could spend about three hours more with Le Yao, he took him to the nearby shopping mall. Although Le Yao could buy everything online, going to a ‘real’ store had a different feeling. Before, Xu Yao had never paid attention to such young students, so he wasn’t aware. Today, he saw students gather in twos or threes and play together. He realized that Le Yao should be enjoying school life with his classmates at his current age. But because he was stationed in Huaxia all the year round, it caused Le Yao to have a smaller chance to experience such a life.
Le Yao didn’t seem to care about it, but Xu Yao, who recently had been leaving home early and then coming back late, had discovered that he had very little time to spend with Le Yao. This feeling of loss was hard to avoid.
Le Yao said, “What’s so hard about this? I have you, I also have our parents, and then there are these three little guys. I am not lonely.”
“But it’s different from having friends of your own age,” reasoned Xu Yao.
Ji Fengyu had once told him that, although Le Yao had lived a difficult life previously, since he had a good character and was warm-hearted, he had many friends. But after arriving to this world, because of various reasons, he had made just a few friends. Most of the people he met were older, and were also busy with their work. In fact, there were not many people who could really play with him.
After arriving in Xingdu, Le Yao had gone to the Le Family, the Hall of the Great Moon, the 12th Army Headquarters, and then today, had come to school to do something, so he wasn’t exactly at leisure. However, he had spent the rest of the days at home, talking to only Uncle Ming and Yan Jie at most.
Suddenly, Xu Yao could understand why Le Yao wanted to go back to Huaxia so soon. At least everyone knew him there. They could eat together in the cafeteria or go to the training ground for a walk. If he had nothing to do, he could buy some vegetables and pick fruits in Aunt Yu’s cold shed. But here…
No, he needed to please his little wife!
Xu Yao took Le Yao to lunch and then sent him back home. Around this same time, the things he had bought for Le Yao while they were eating were also delivered. Though this time, it wasn’t a smart express box that arrived with the goods, instead the seller himself had delivered the things.
Le Yao held the box in his hand and asked, “What is this?”
Xu Yao said, “Open it.”
Le Yao looked at the small transparent box before opening it. There was sawdust padding the inside of the box, with six colorful eggs situated on it. The largest egg was as long as an adult mother’s finger. He didn’t know what kind of creature was in these eggs.
Le Yao wondered, “This is… you bought me something to eat?”
Xu Yao laughed, “No, I bought them for you to hatch. Put this little box in your room and something will hatch from it in a few days.”
“What is it?”
“It won’t be fun if I say it. Anyway, they’re definitely not snakes.”
Le Yao immediately looked around to find a safe place for the eggs. Just then, he saw Yan Jie walk in quickly from the outside and say to Xu Yao, “Brother Xu, I have found Le Tianyu’s whereabouts.”
