So embarrassing!

On the‌​‌‍⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠​‌⁠​​⁠​‍⁠⁠‍‌​ other side, Jiang Ci was unaware that he had not only become the subject of gossip but also a point of comparison. He had just returned to the camp with Huo Xianfeng, not being carried by the other party but walking back by his side.

Otherwise, if he was really carried back, it would be a complete social death.

Jiang Ci walked ahead, pressing his thumb on the fingerprint scanner.

“Beep—” 

A pleasant, feminine electronic voice sounded, “Welcome back, Major General Jiang Ci.”

Jiang Ci hesitated before stepping in, already mentally preparing himself for what the night might bring. However, when he went in, he realized Huo Xianfeng hadn’t followed. He turned back, surprised.

“Huo Xianfeng?”

At this time, the black-haired alpha stood outside the door with his hands folded across his chest, showing no intention of coming in. After a few seconds, the opened door gradually closed.

Jiang Ci: “…?”

What is he doing?

Is he not coming in?

Jiang Ci walked back toward him,

The next second he heard the familiar electronic voice again.

“Beep—” 

“Welcome back, Huo Xianfeng.”

Them the door opened again, and Major Jiang Ci saw Huo Xianfeng cross his arms on his chest, squinting his phoenix-like eyes slightly, and give a small nod of satisfaction as he entered.

That subtle expression reminded Jiang Ci of a large, fierce beast inspecting its territory.

Jiang Ci: “…”

No way.

Is he really this childish?

Does he insist on using his own fingerprint to enter?

Jiang Ci rubbed his forehead, torn between amusement and exasperation.

“I mean, Huo Xianfeng, you—”

Before he could finish, Huo Xianfeng walked over and, without a word, started unbuttoning his shirt right in front of him.

Jiang Ci: “…!!!”

Wait!

Hold on!!!

Jiang Ci’s gaze darted away in an instant, his Adam’s apple bobbing unconsciously. The Major  General tried to maintain a calm, expressionless front, but internally, he was completely at a loss.

Yes, they’d done it four times before, but that had always been during his heat cycles, with the raging hormones leaving him little room for rational thought. The last time had happened after a particular dream, leading to things just…progressing naturally.

So tonight would be the first time they’d actually do…that, without any external forces or hormonal influences, fully aware and in control.

Jiang Ci’s mind kept drifting to flashes of those previous times. Although he had lost his senses during his heat, the memories remained—every single detail.

The black-haired alpha slipped off his loose shirt, revealing his toned, bare chest. He moved past Jiang Ci and headed directly for the bathroom, clearly familiar with the layout.

The omega froze, calling after him,

“Huo Xianfeng, you…”

Jiang Ci quickly realized that Huo Xianfeng had just been planning to take a shower, not jump straight to…other things. The tip of his ears flamed red, as embarrassment mingled with annoyance as he snapped,

At that moment, Huo Xianfeng reached out with one hand to open the bathroom door, turning his head back as he did. The motion made his arm and back muscles tighten, revealing impressive, powerful lines—a shoulder-to-waist ratio that could easily grace any magazine cover.

“Why is the Major General staring at me so much? Do you want to check it out with your hand?”

“It’s all just stiff muscle anyway, too tough to even bite. I’m not interested.”

Jiang Ci: “…”

Was he really blaming Jiang Ci for not having a strong enough teeth against his ridiculous defense?

True, Jiang Ci was an omega, but he was highly ranked, and after years of military training, he was anything but frail.

Jiang Ci let out a slow breath, though he felt increasingly restless.

The Major General sat upright on the edge of the bed for a few minutes, then lay back, clutching a pillow, berating himself for mentioning that last phrase.

It sounded so much like he was telling Huo Xianfeng that he really, really wanted to have his child. The more he thought about it, the hotter and more flustered he felt. Burying his face in the pillow, he rolled around furiously.

…It was so embarrassing! Why had he said that?

Just then, the bathroom door opened unexpectedly. Jiang Ci froze and looked over, locking eyes with a damp face peeking out.

“Hm…”

Huo Xianfeng had only opened the door slightly, revealing half his face as he glanced curiously at Jiang Ci’s position on the bed.

“You seem…excited?”

Jiang Ci jumped up immediately, his expression cool. “

No, I was just…thinking about this afternoon’s training.”

Huo Xianfeng looked confused.

“Oh…remembering it in bed?”

Expressionless, Jiang Ci nodded.

“Yes, it’s my…”

His voice sounded a bit forced,

“—personal habit.”

Quickly changing the subject, Jiang Ci’s gaze involuntarily flickered over the faint black tattoo on Huo Xianfeng’s skin before looking away. “You finished already? So fast?”

“No, I forgot my pajamas.”

Huo Xianfeng tilted his head, leaning against the doorframe as water droplets dripped from his damp hair, exuding a magnetic, wet-haired allure with every strand.

“Major General, want to help me grab them?”

His tone stretched slightly, perhaps intentionally, sending a warm flush to Jiang Ci’s ears.

“…Sure.”

Jiang Ci replied calmly,

“Go back in; I’ll leave them at the door.”

“Alright.” Huo Xianfeng nodded, surprisingly decisive, and closed the door.

Jiang Ci covered his face, feeling as if he might implode.

This was so mortifying!!!

Every embarrassing moment of his life seemed to have happened around Huo Xianfeng.

No, no—calm down!

It wasn’t the first time this would happen, and it wasn’t like he was in a heat cycle, craving an alpha’s touch. This was just normal, physical activity. What was there to panic about?

Jiang Ci started giving himself a pep talk. Clearly, the more flustered he got, the happier and more teasing Huo Xianfeng would be.

So, he had to stay cool and composed.

The Major General stiffly rearranged the bed to its impeccable standard before finding a new set of pajamas for Huo Xianfeng.

Knock, knock.

“Huo Xianfeng, I’ll leave them by…”

The door opened a second later, and a large hand reached out—not for the pajamas, but to grab the Major General’s arm.

Whoosh—

The pajamas fell to the ground, and before Jiang Ci could react, he was pulled inside.
