Feng Feng Darling
by M1zushiThank you for the donation Darius! two more chapters to go~~
He was so strikingly beautiful, and so powerful.
It was nearly impossible to find a single flaw.
But in this close proximity, Jiang Ci couldn’t help but notice the dark tattoo on Huo Xianfeng’s lower abdomen—and he realized that the tattoo extended to his left shoulder as well.
Perhaps it was related to his body’s Zerg mutation?
As he traced the black tattoo on Huo Xianfeng’s left shoulder, Jiang Ci softly asked,
“This tattoo… it seems to be growing?”
Huo Xianfeng leaned against the wall above Jiang Ci’s head, looking down at him casually.
“No, it’s not growing. It’s just returning to its original state. It’s a mark of a high-level Zerg; Nora has it too. Each one’s unique, like your light-red irises,”
As he replied, he tucked a damp strand of Jiang Ci’s hair behind his ear.
“And like your silver hair—it’s a genetic trait.”
“Stop moving around while you’re talking!”
Jiang Ci shifted slightly, reclaiming his hair from Huo Xianfeng’s hand. But he had to admit, the tattoo looked incredibly cool on him.
A mysterious, handsome kind of cool.
Still, looking at the tattoo made it hard not to notice what was below it. Jiang Ci realized that high-level Zergs, apart from their hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, didn’t seem to have any body hair.
Most alphas, from adolescence onward, grew thick body hair—it was especially evident in the academy and the military. But Huo Xianfeng had none; he was entirely smooth, without even a hint of sweat, even after intense combat.
Instead, he had an indescribable scent, one that Jiang Ci couldn’t quite identify, but he found himself particularly drawn to it. However, because there is no body hair to cover it, even if the peripheral vision casually glanced at it, it would be clearly visible.
Almost reflexively, Jiang Ci’s gaze snapped away as if jolted by electricity, his Adam’s apple moving slightly as he tried to focus again on Huo Xianfeng’s upper body.
“A-Ci,”
Jiang Ci suddenly hear the other party speak with a tone filled with unmistakable mischief.
“If you want to look, just look. No need to be sneaky about it.”
Ever since Huo Xianfeng had marked him, he had been letting loose, not only casually undressing in front of him but also shamelessly dragging him into the shower and standing naked without a hint of embarrassment.
Jiang Ci genuinely couldn’t understand.
How could such thick-skinned person exist?!
Holding his breath, Jiang Ci looked Huo Xianfeng up and down twice, striving to sound nonchalant.
“What’s there to sneak a look at? All alphas are pretty much the same.”
“Oh?”
Huo Xianfeng narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab his wrist bone.
There was a dangerous smile in the young man’s voice,
“Do you want to follow my lead? If you lie, at least draft it before”
Although it sounded arrogant, it was true.
Jiang Ci hadn’t actually seen any other alpha’s body, save for anatomy diagrams and models in biology class.
But he knew arguing would be pointless, so he simply muttered,
“No one, really. Don’t all male bodies look alike?”
Huo Xianfeng leaned in closer with a mischievous smile,
“Almost, that’s not necessarily the case.”
“…Get lost!”
Jiang Ci huffed, trying to ignore the next dilemma of applying body wash below the waist. He avoided it, but Huo Xianfeng quickly noticed and insisted.
“A-Ci, that’s lazy.”
Huo Xianfeng blew a soap bubble in his direction, smirking.
“When I helped you, I was quite thorough.”
“It’s because you have a dirty mind that you can’t see who’s at fault?”
Jiang Ci mercilessly popped the bubble and walked out, turning on the shower.
“Enough talking. Just rinse off.”
Huo Xianfeng let out a soft “tsk”, then suddenly stretched out his long arm and pulled the person in. Jiang Ci was completely unprepared and was instantly drenched in hot water. The next second, Huo Xianfeng picked up his wife.
“Huh? Dirty?”
His golden left eye gleamed sharply.
“So, you think that’s dirty?”
Jiang Ci hadn’t meant it seriously, of course.
But now, trapped against the wall with hot water pouring over him, he barely had time to react.
“Tsk, you little omega are really good at lying.”
Huo Xianfeng leaned in closer with a sinister tone,
“You talked about happiness before, but now you despise me for being dirty.”
“……..”
“Not dirty! Not dirty!”
Jiang Ci hurriedly corrected, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
“I was wrong. Okay?”
Huo Xianfeng sneered,
“Ah, the infamous omega mouth, full of lies!”
Jiang Ci blinked in confusion.
Wasn’t that fucking supposed to be about alphas?
Knowing he wouldn’t win this argument, Jiang Ci bit down in frustration—this time on his ear.
Surely even Huo Xianfeng’s indestructible defenses didn’t extend to his ears.
Huo Xianfeng hissed softly, leaning into the bite but extending the syllables with a playful “Ouch…”
Jiang Ci hesitated, loosening his grip after a few seconds. As he opened his eyes in the streaming water, droplets slipped from his dense lashes, landing on Huo Xianfeng’s face.
“Huo Xianfeng, your mouth should be sewn shut!”
“Yeah?”
Huo Xianfeng chuckled, holding him close.
“If that happened, you’d be the one missing out.”
“You…!”
Jiang Ci was so furious that he tried to bite him again, but at that exact moment, Huo Xianfeng turned his head, meeting his lips with a kiss instead.
“Mn…”
Just as Jiang Ci was about to bite him in frustration, Huo Xianfeng evaded effortlessly, letting Jiang Ci miss his mark, and then leaned in again to plant a soft kiss on his cheek.
“……..”
Damn it!!! Not only couldn’t he beat him in a fight, but he couldn’t even keep up with him in this!
Jiang Ci felt completely outmatched, as though Huo Xianfeng was playing him like a fiddle. Determined, he grabbed Huo Xianfeng’s head, finally managing a firm bite on his ear. But this time, he didn’t hear a yelp—just a soft laugh.
“I warned you, A-Ci.”

The poor Bai Ze pendant was soaked in the water.

Why? Why was it being soaked in the water?
No, wait!
Why was it even here?
It desperately wanted to escape. But at this moment, neither Jiang Ci nor Huo Xianfeng had any thought for Bai Ze in the water.

Jiang Ci could hardly keep his eyes open. He tried to pull his hand back, but Huo Xianfeng held him firm, asking in that teasing tone—

The leather straps encircled Jiang Ci’s thigh in three directions, grasping the hem in place, and keeping it taut. As a result, the shirt hung as if trying to cover something yet failed to do so, an image that Huo Xianfeng’s gaze traced unhurriedly, carrying an air of complete control.

Conversations between mechas generally revolved around themselves or their owners. Since Bai Ze couldn’t discuss Jiang Ci, it had to settle for asking about Wan Jiang’s owner.

Feeling a surge of sympathy for its elder comrade, Bai Ze messaged, “Wan Jiang, you’re really miserable.”

“I’m so sorry, Wan Jiang. I was envious of you before. I didn’t know any better.”
Wan Jiang: “…”
Wan Jiang stayed silent for a long time, typing, then deleting, only to type again. After much consideration, it finally responded with a radio signal:
“Bai Ze… are you infected with a virus?”
“Maybe.”
Bai Ze sighed.
“I’d rather think so.”
Wan Jiang: “…”
It didn’t quite understand its younger comrade.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ci had no idea that his mecha had already slapped an “AA forbidden relationship” label on his uncle.
“Water, it’s in my eyes…”
Huo Xianfeng paused, turning off the shower as the water streaming down made it hard for Jiang Ci to keep his eyes open. As the water stopped, Jiang Ci could finally open his eyes, but the droplets clinging to his lashes still blurred his vision.
“I can’t stand… can’t stand steady…”
So Huo Xianfeng flipped him around and picked him up.
“Oh, A-Ci darling… you’re really hard to please.”
A-Ci darling…
That nickname… no one had ever called him that. Not even his father had.
Only Xiao X, his parenting system, would use it on him occasionally, but the mechanical tone was nothing like this.
For the Major General, hearing Huo Xianfeng call him that was almost unbearable—not out of distaste, but because every time he heard it, his heart felt like it might melt.
“You, Huo Xianfeng, how come you…”
He trailed off.
“So, tell me, A-Ci—do you prefer older or younger?”
“…?”
Is there something wrong with Huo Xianfeng? Why would he ask that now?!
But clearly, Huo Xianfeng had a firm grip on Jiang Ci’s weak spot and not answering was out of the question.
“Well… you and Marshal Huo Chao are friends, so…”
Was there any point in debating who’s older or younger?
Honestly, calling Huo Xianfeng an uncle wasn’t entirely wrong.
Just… now there were two Uncle Huos.
The mere mention of it made Jiang Ci feel that peculiar, taboo sensation all over again.
“I’m nothing like that old dumb Huo Chao.”
Huo Xianfeng seemed to take this matter seriously.
“If you go by human years, Huo Chao would be four or five years older than me. When he died, I was still just a cub.”
Jiang Ci: “…”
He didn’t even know how to respond.
“Four or five years… and three hundred more. Isn’t that irrelevant?”
“Doesn’t count—I was buried for three hundred years, I didn’t live them.”
True enough.
Jiang Ci was slightly taken aback. If Huo Xianfeng’s three-century slumber didn’t count, then being younger by four or five years than Marshal Huo Chao meant Huo Xianfeng’s actual age was around twenty-four or twenty-five.
Younger than Jiang Ci, in fact.
He didn’t know how Zerg lifespans worked, but if Huo Xianfeng had still been a cub when Marshal Huo Zhao died, that meant he’d been awake for only four or five months since returning to Earth.
It was…
Almost too young.
For a moment, Jiang Ci felt the sense of taboo like he was caught with an underage military cadet. But Huo Xianfeng paused, as if unsatisfied with this reasoning, and clicked his tongue.
“Alright, fine. Call me uncle, if that’s what you want. I can tell you like the older type.”
“…!”
Jiang Ci punched him. “Who likes the older type?!”
“Alright, A-Ci-gege,” Huo Xianfeng quickly switched. “A-Ci-gege, you…”
“Stop talking—”
Jiang Ci couldn’t take it anymore, and the only way he could silence Huo Xianfeng was to kiss him.
“Don’t call me that.”
Huo Xianfeng chuckled, then asked,
“Then what will you call me?”
“Isn’t Huo Xianfeng good enough?”
“Are you sure you even like me, A-Ci?”
“…?”
Jiang Ci didn’t know what Huo Xianfeng had eaten. Didn’t he just finish his confession tonight? ? ?
“It’s just… calling me by my full name… sounds so distant.”
Jiang Ci was about to lose it. He could barely get the words out, but he tried to answer,
“Xiao Feng… is that alright?”
“Nope. Huo Chao called me that too. Too dumb.”
Huo Xianfeng suddenly paused, then asked,
“Thought of something yet?”
“…!”
Jiang Ci was close to breaking down.
“…Xian… Xianfeng?”
Huo Xianfeng scoffed, “Not intimate enough.”
Jiang Ci: “…”
So who’s the picky one here?!
So, Jiang Ci searched his mind and finally recalled two options: one from a little girl on Winter Day Planet Star named Tang Cha, and the other from Xiao X.
“…Xiao…”
Jiang Ci buried his face in Huo Xianfeng’s neck, his voice low and rough, as though he were on the verge of tears.
“…Xiao… Xiao Huo-gege…”
And finally, the Major General let go of his last bit of restraint.
“…Feng… Fengfeng darling.”

Author’s Note: I wanted to add some new plot, but since a lot of readers haven’t caught up yet, I just added a small part~ Also, Zhou and Ye are not a couple—just good friends who get misunderstood for comedic effect.
TL Note: why are authors AA-phobic :sob:
