In the afternoon, Le Yao went to Uncle Ming's house. The house was quiet and he couldn't find Uncle Ming. He had wanted to ask Uncle Ming to accompany him to the cold shed, as there were no vegetables at home.
Maybe because it had just rained yesterday, but the sky outside felt really humid, as if he was in a steamer. As soon as Le Yao left the house, he was attacked by the muggy heat. However, he felt that it was not the sultry weather that was causing his whole body to become hot, but rather the gaze of a certain man who was following behind him!
I hate it! Always bullying the weak and the innocent!
Xu Yao hadn't slept last night, but he couldn't rest properly if he knew that Le Yao was wandering around outside alone. After all, there were Alphas everywhere. In case Le Yao was suddenly attracted to someone, it would become troublesome for him. So, even though he had a day off-work to rest, he still accompanied Le Yao.
They were wearing the same kind of sunscreen suit and walked in a line, with the little one in the front and the big one at the back.
Most of the people in the Flying Wolf Division had big and strong physiques. It was rare to catch sight of such a small lump. Xu Yao looked at the small person walking in front of him and thought that it was absolutely adorable.
"Hello General! Don't you have a day off? What are you doing here?" On the way, someone saw Xu Yao and stopped to greet him. He then looked curiously at Le Yao.
"This is…" asked the officer named Zhang Xuwei, who was the Head of the Light Mecha Regiment. He was a competent subordinate of Xu Yao's and his position was relatively high. Although they were a pair of superior and subordinate, Zhang Xuwei was also like a brother to Xu Yao. He was curious about Le Yao, but dared not ask any questions directly.
"Hmm, I'm going out to buy vegetables with my wife," Xu Yao naturally said, "I didn't come home last night so he was angry."
"I'm not!" Le Yao asserted, but his manner of speaking didn't seem to match his words at all.
"Okay, okay, you're not angry" said Xu Yao as he hugged Le Yao. "Let's go. Today I'll buy you enough vegetables to last three days."
"Well, you should go first, General." As Zhang Xuwei looked at the General and his wife, he felt a bit embarrassed in front of the newly married couple. Hmm, so… does the General like Madam or not?
The entire Flying Wolf Division knew that the General had married an overlord flower, but the General's wife hadn't shown his face in front of others ever since he had arrived here. It was bandied about that the boss of the supermarket and two staff members of the cold shed had met him, along with Uncle Ming and Yan Jie. However, the rest of the military personnel had not yet had the chance to meet the General's wife.
What they knew about the General's wife was what they had seen on the internet. Although some videos have since been deleted, they still had some resources here.
It was rumoured that the General's wife was very beautiful. You couldn't find an Omega as beautiful as the General's wife. But once he put on this sunscreen suit, all that could be seen was just a pair of big starry eyes.
Hmm, should he find brothers to accompany him in going to the cold shed to take a peek? Since the General said that he would buy vegetables enough to last for three days, he will definitely stay in the cold shed for some time.
I'm very curious!
Most people here speculated that the General had other intentions for bringing such an attractive wife to Huaxia. But just now, why did he feel that the General's attitude towards his wife seemed quite close?
"We'll buy the vegetables later. Would you like to go to the mountain?" At this time, Le Yao suddenly stopped and said to Xu Yao, "I want to pick some branches for making handicrafts."
"Can't you use the branches of the trees in the living area? Do you have to go to the mountain?" Xu Yao inquired in a gentle tone.
"I'm afraid that the result with the branches here is not good enough." Every time Xu Yao discusses something with Le Yao, his tone would become soft involuntarily, "I don't have to pick that many, I just need about ten branches."
"Okay, I'll show you around the mountain and look for the branches after we buy the vegetables." Xu Yao said, "Let's go. Don't tan my little white rabbit."
The little white rabbit glared with his red eyes and turned to walk forward quickly.
This man must have soaked in a million flowers before! He must have all kinds of flirtatious experiences, else how could he say those sweet words so smoothly? And it made my heart beat faster. It is very annoying!
Le Yao felt that it was already hot outside. But now, following behind him was a person who was always igniting the fire and making his cheeks burn. So angry, ah!
Fortunately, the temperature in the cold shed was cooler, making it comfortable. Le Yao took off his head cover and greeted the two staff members. Le Yao was originally a good-looking person. When he laughed sweetly and called out to the staff, who could bear to hate him? The staff members were also smiling and wanted to return his greeting, but were surprised when they saw the General standing behind him.
"What kind of vegetables is Mr. Xiao Le going to buy today?" The beta aunt, who was in charge of recording data in the cold shed, asked.
"What would you like to eat?" he tossed the question to Xu Yao, who was beside him.
He knew that Xu Yao had a day-off today. It turned out that the General would not be busy every day.
"Everything you cook is delicious," replied Xu Yao. "You can buy what you like. By the way, you look very energetic today."
Hm, that is right. Today, I don't need to buy vegetables by myself! How great!
So, Le Yao took the basket and went deep into the cold shed. The shed was quite big and there were many fresh vegetables growing in it. He really wanted to pick them all.
Soon, he had collected many tomatoes, as well as sweet beans, cabbages, broccoli and so on. He had also picked out some red, green, yellow and purple vegetables. He felt that they would be good to use later. He was not afraid of leftovers, because Xu Yao was a rice pit.
When Xu Yao saw all the vegetables that Le Yao had picked piled up in the basket, he went to help him carry the basket, "Do you still want to buy some more? I'll get you an empty basket if you need it."
"No, this is enough. In fact, it's fun to pick them, but we won't be able to finish using the vegetables if I pick again," said Le Yao.
"Okay. Let's go pick fruit then. There's some fruit growing in the shed next to us. You can go see if there's anything you like."
Le Yao was thinking about the same thing, so they walked to the next shed.
There was no staff in the shed. But not long after Le Yao and Xu Yao entered it, four people came in front of the door and shouted, "General, you are also here!"
Le Yao started to feel a little uneasy because it seemed that four were Alphas. The prestige they emitted somewhat pressured an Omega. So, he unconsciously went to stand behind Xu Yao, seeking some protection. Although he and Xu Yao hadn't known each other for a long time, after all, they had lived under the same roof for several days and had slept in the same bed. Naturally, Xu Yao was the only man there with whom he felt a sense of security.
Xu Yao felt at ease in his heart when he saw this reaction. But he didn't let a smile bloom on his face and instead asked the boys at the door, "How come all of you are here together?"
In fact, his heart was like a mirror.
These subordinates also knew who was behind Xu Yao, but they didn't want to expose it. Zhang Xuwei said, "I just saw you and the Madam on the way. They found out about it and have come here to take a look at Madam."
Ke Yang, the vice-leader of the Light Mecha Regiment, said, "Aren't you hiding your wife too deeply, General? We haven't even been able to say hello to him."
"If you want to see him, just ask directly. Saying so much nonsense!" declared Xu Yao. He put his arms around Le Yao's shoulders and touched his red ears before continuing, "This is my wife, Le Yao." To Le Yao, he indicated, "From left to right, Zhang Xuwei, Ke Yang, Liu Yi and Li Chenfei. Each belonging to the Light and Heavy Mecha Regiments, a pair of the Head and his deputy for each regiment."
Le Yao nodded and smiled appropriately in greeting, "Hello."
Their main aim had been to see how powerful the overlord flower was. Instead, the four Alphas were left stunned by the gentle and polite voice of the Omega. Subconsciously, they also answered back gently, "Hello Madam…"
"Have you finished looking at him? Since you aren't busy, I'll arrange some work for you later."
These four were sure that the work being arranged for them wasn't going to be a good thing, but since the General had spoken, they couldn't refuse. Le Yao saw the situation and just wanted to pick the fruits faster. He wanted to get some snacks to fill a certain someone's stomach, which was just like a hungry wolf whenever he returned home, so as to not catch him and make a meal out of him if he was hungry! He could also send some to Uncle Ming. After all, he had caused him a lot of trouble after he had come here.
Le Yao picked out some strawberries and some yellow peaches. He then ran to the mango tree. This mango tree was quite tall. He didn't know whether it was genetically grown or not. He couldn't even reach its branches with the long fruit pole in his hand.
Five hundred years ago, when he was on Earth, he used to live in the north and had never seen a mango tree.
Xu Yao saw his wife staring at the biggest mango, which was hanging on the highest branch, so he said, "Come, I'll help you. Hold the fruit pole firmly."
Le Yao was confused, "What?"
The next second, Xu Yao hugged his waist and held him up!
"Ahh!" Le Yao was surprised from being held so far away from the ground. Besides, there were still other people around so he felt extremely embarrassed.
"Can you reach it now?" Xu Yao asked.
"Just a little bit more! Ah, stand still!" Le Yao saw that the fruit pole could reach the mango he wanted. They were still hugging each other! If he didn't really want the mango, he would not have let this person hug him! He pressed the 'scissor' button on the pole and listened to the 'click' sound. The big mango fell into the fruit picking net.
"Anything else?" Xu Yao asked again.
"No, I just want this one." Le Yao felt that this one was big enough to eat together. He didn't know what kind of mango it was. Goodness, it was as big as a man's head!
"What a pity." Xu Yao said and after looking for an angle from which the other four wouldn't be able to see, he pinched Le Yao's butt.
"Ahh. What a pity?" Le Yao was so angry but he didn't want to say anything accusatory.
"I just made a deal with myself in my heart, that I'll pinch you if you cut one. As a result, you just cut this one." Xu Yao continued in a low tone, "If you cut more, I can pinch you again right? Isn't that a pity?"
It is a pity, my ass!
Le Yao held the mango in one hand and covered it with his other hand. He was very angry!
These four spectators indeed could not see what Xu Yao had done to him, but he felt really strange. He held the mango, took the fruit basket and hurried to the door. He was so embarrassed! For Xu Yao to do something like this when they were outside, it was not proper, alright!
The beta aunt carefully helped Le Yao settle the account again. After they had paid for the vegetables, Xu Yao carried the groceries back to their house. Who would have expected, after they had walked half the way, Xu Yao asked him for the reason he couldn't use the branches near the house.
It was only then that Le Yao remembered he had wanted to pick branches.
Actually, as long as most of the trees that were in the living area or the Command Center grew without artificial transformation, they could be used. However, in order to keep his actions hidden to the greatest extent, he thought it would be better to pick from trees located in the back mountain rather than the living areas.
Le Yao was also a little worried because he didn't know which kind of trees were growing on both sides of the road.
"Is this tree poisonous?" Le Yao asked Xu Yao.
"No." Xu Yao explained, "This kind of tree is called the Tianxing elm tree, which is quite common in the local area. What's the matter?"
"It should be alright. I'll break a small piece and smell it first then." Le Yao kept the mango on the ground and broke a small piece of the Tianxing elm's branch, then he lifted his head cover and smelled it. He concluded it was okay for him to use this tree, so he decided to break some branches and bring them home for a trial.
This time, Le Yao selected a thick branch, which may have been a bit too thick for him. He put in quite the effort to break it, but the branch didn't even budge, and he was already tired after several tries.
Xu Yao couldn't watch such a scene anymore. He grabbed onto his wife's back neck collar and moved him away to the side. Then he grabbed the selected branch with his right hand and yanked on it hard. The branch, along with a big piece of bark, was pulled down by him, and the trunk of the tree almost twisted…
What force! So strong ah!
Le Yao was dumbfounded and thus looked a little silly.
Xu Yao looked at his silly appearance and flicked his forehead. "Say, which else do you want?"
Le Yao pointed to a branch on the other side. In fact, he was being a bit too much, because this branch was way thicker than the previous one. But, he didn't want to see Xu Yao be so arrogant! You are not an animal okay, I don't think you can tear it down!
Xu Yao didn't know the thoughts in his wife's head. Upon seeing that the branch was really thick, he just kicked it and then the two of them heard the 'Kacha!' sound coming from the branch. It broke into two parts, which Xu Yao pulled on and then picked up.
Xu Yao, "Is this enough?"
Le Yao: "…" I don't want to talk to an animal!
With a mango in one hand and a relatively small branch in the other, Le Yao turned his back to Xu Yao and didn't answer him. Unfortunately, he stumbled over a stone after he had walked for a while and ended up falling not far from Xu Yao! Upon falling, the mango in his hand also flew out and rolled a good distance away with a 'gulu gulu' sound.
"Pftt!" Zhang Xuwei and his friends witnessed this scene of 'lying on the ground' and couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you alright?" Xu Yao went to help him but he also couldn't hold back his laughter. This scene looked miserable yet was so funny. He covered Le Yao with his body so that other people wouldn't see him like this.
"I'm okay!" Le Yao quickly got up and glared at him.
Xu Yao looked at the person in front of him. This person was small, but he still showed gumption while staring at people. Xu Yao thought his little wife was like a rabbit whenever he discussed and did housework, like a puffer fish whenever he was angry, and like a leopard when glaring at him. It was a hilarious sight and he couldn't stop teasing him.
When Le Yao looked into Xu Yao's eyes, he understood that this guy was having ill intentions. However, he couldn't launch a counter-attack now as the sun had yet to set and so he couldn't do anything.
Just wait for the evening! As soon as my brother arrives, you will be done for!!!
