The General Loves to Collect Little Red FlowersCh7 - Back to Earth

Edited by Noks

According to Xu Yao, he could watch this ‘Dance of God’ at least 20 times. But the fact was that, before he watched it for the second time, his communicator received a video call from Le Yao. gz1Lur

Le Yao used the code he had gotten during the day and clicked it to contact Xu Yao.

“What’s the matter, baby?” Xu Yao’s big long legs were leisurely resting on the tea table again, and he smiled teasingly, “Missing me so soon?”

“Who is missing you?” Le Yao was rendered speechless and felt that this General had a really  thick skin. “I wanted to ask when we would leave for Planet Huaxia. If we’re not in a hurry, can I return something first?”

“Return something?” GQg10Y

“I want to return all the things my stepmother bought for me. I don’t like them. Besides, I won’t be going to Planet Huaxia for a fashion show. The clothes she bought for me are not suitable to wear there.”

He hadn’t known that Jiang Xinduo had such a crafty heart. Most of the clothes she had bought were summer clothes, with not many good ones among them. Most of them had an open back or were super short. They were either fashionable in style, with rivets and holes in places that couldn’t be said of, or indeed weren’t like proper clothes at all.

Not long after Xu Yao had left, Le Yao had begun to think about returning all those things, and then planned to take that money to buy what he really needed later. Anyway, he had packed enough clothes to wear on Huaxia.

Although Xu Yao wears a military uniform all year round, he was a person who paid attention to appearance, so he knew about all kinds of big brands. Even if Xu Yao didn’t take a close look at the clothes Le Yao’s stepmother had bought for him, he knew that the clothes from those brands would not be comfortable to wear on Huaxia, so he decided to accompany Le Yao.

Thus, they went to the shopping mall that Jiang Xinduo had visited, returned all of those clothes and got 167,000 yuan in cash. As for skin care products and perfumes, those were special items, so they couldn’t be refunded.

Using this 167,000 yuan, Le Yao bought ten brushes and a dozen rice papers from the supermarket. There was no special rune paper available, so he bought rice paper to use for calligraphy. As for a brass bell, he couldn’t find it in the supermarket, so instead, he bought a material kit used for making children’s handmade rattles.

“… are you going to prepare a gift for our unborn baby?” Xu Yao held the rattle kit in his hand. After making it according to the design, it should be a small and cute blue dinosaur rattle. “So virtuous?”

“Who said I would give you a baby?” Le Yao snatched the material kit “It is for another use.” zWo2Mh

“It’s just a rattle. What other uses does it have besides using it to play with children?”

Le Yao stayed silent. It seemed that Xu Yao was able to clearly see his intention. He hurriedly put something else in the shopping cart, and then went to check out. He felt that he had bought a lot of things, but hadn’t spent more than a thousand yuan. v9SGpf

Xu Yao didn’t say anything more. Since he had seen Le Yao’s actions in the video before and hence guessed that Le Yao would buy these things to do it again. In any case, even though he thought that the ‘Dance of God’ was superstitious, it didn’t create any practical problems, so he bought it for Le Yao.

It was already dark by the time they left the mall, so Le Yao went back to his hover car and followed Xu Yao to his residence in Xingdu.

When Le Yao got out of the parked hover car, he felt like he was in a big hangar. At the moment, in addition to his hover car and Xu Yao’s, there was also a domestic, smaller black hover car next to them. It was surrounded by silver gray glass walls, and looked simple and cold.

“We’re staying here tonight?” Le Yao looked around and asked. u7vTIt

“No. In about half an hour we will leave for Planet Huaxia” said Xu Yao.

“So fast?” Le Yao remembered that previously, Le Feishan had said that Xu Yao had a lot of business to deal with, so he thought he could stay here for at least one more day.

“Don’t you want to go to Planet Huaxia very much?” After Xu Yao guided Le Yao out of the hangar, he said, “Isn’t it better to hurry up?”

“That’s right,” agreed Le Yao as he casually walked into a huge living room. tUhJl

“Then sit here and wait for me. I’ll come down in a minute,” Xu Yao said, then ordered his subordinate, “Yan Jie, accompany him,” and headed upstairs.

Yan Jie came forward and inquired in a stiff tone, “Would you like something to drink?”

Le Yao shook his head, “No, thank you.”

Le Yao sat down on the sofa and pretended not to see the caution in Yan Jie’s eyes. I5nQHk

Whenever people come to a strange place, they would observe their surroundings automatically, and Le Yao was not an exception to this. He noticed that the General’s office covered a wide area. Although he couldn’t see the whole office from where he stood, the area it covered must be at least three or four hundred square meters. However, since Xu Yao seldom stayed in this house, the design of black, white and gray felt a little bit chilly, along with the fact that he treated it more as a vacation house, made it lack the warmth of a home.

Le Yao’s master had liked all kinds of stable and solid wood furniture, the kind which was brown or dark brown and felt so warm. He said that this type of furniture was unique and steady. In the past, whenever Le Yao was in the Buddhist shop, the environment there made him feel stable regain his composure. Remembering his past and looking at his present made him feel somewhat depressed.

Le Yao fixed his eyes on a huge oil painting in front of him. This painting occupied most of the west wall, and faced the main sofa. Maybe the painting was put up there so the guest sitting on the sofa could look at it.

The painting was of a landscape, that of a dark forest after night fall. It was gloomy, and reminded Le Yao of the place where he had woken up to a new world. yJgvl8

What Le Yao couldn’t understand was how Xu Yao could live in a such a finely designed house which did not match his character at all. 

“This painting…”He just blurted out the words in his head on an impulse, and  shocked himself by that gesture as well.

“What’s wrong with the painting?” Yan Jie stood not far away from Le Yao. He was also looking at the aforementioned painting.

“It’s nothing. Have Mr. Xu’s parents moved to Planet Huaxia?” After Le Yao finished his sentence, he saw Yan Jie’s expression worsen, and his vigilance towards him deepened, so he added, “I mean, it looks very empty in here.” cXOR9V

“Normally, we don’t stay here, so of course, it feels empty,” Yan Jie replied with impatience.

What else could Le Yao ask after he was given an answer in such a tone? Since he really didn’t want to make a fool of himself, he simply stopped talking. He took out his communicator, looked at the amount of money he had left and wondered if he had forgotten to buy anything, so as to suppress the little uneasy feeling that rose from time to time in his heart.

He wasn’t aware of how long he had been waiting. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps. Le Yao looked up at the stairs and saw three people come downstairs. There were three men, one in front and two behind. The man in front looked about fifty years old, was not very tall and a little thin. He was wearing a comfortable looking black cotton shirt-pant set and a pair of ancient cloth shoes. The two at the back looked to be in their early twenties and wore military uniforms.

Yan Jie still had a harsh look on his face. Upon seeing the three men coming towards them, he softened his expression and called out to the leader, “Uncle Ming.” OdkLJS

Ming Shan saw Le Yao stand up and asked, “This is…”

Yan Jie hadn’t even said a word in reply before Xu Yao’s voice came from upstairs, “Uncle Ming, he is my newly married little wife. His name is Le Yao. Le Le, Uncle Ming is the housekeeper of this house and he has taken care of me since I was a child.”

Ming Shan looked at Le Yao slightly askance, and Le Yao greeted politely, “Hello, Uncle Ming.”

Ming Shan nodded and smiled back, “Hello, Madam.” YTdy6o

Le Yao: “…” Madam?!

Coughing lightly, Le Yao said, “Uncle Ming, you can call me Xiao Le.”

And Uncle Ming responded with: “Ok, Mr. Xiao Le.”

Xu Yao saw Le Yao’s small pair of ears redden because of Uncle Ming’s moniker for him. He asked Uncle Ming with a smile on his face, “What about the preparations, Uncle Ming? Are you ready?” WFO nk

Ming Shan said, “Everything’s ready. When are you going to leave?”

Xu Yao looked at the time and spoke, “Now,” whilst taking Le Yao’s backpack in his hand.

In this backpack were the brushes and rice paper that Le Yao had bought, as well as some valuable personal items, such as the light brain and jewelry. Naturally, the jewelry had been bought by the original host. Some of those accessories he didn’t take, but he took all the real gold and precious stone accessories. Anyway, it was not cheap, so he would not leave it behind for Jiang Xinduo and Le Tianyu to use.

Now, the things in his backpack were worth half of Le Yao’s life, so as soon as Xu Yao took them away, he immediately followed. Gc4gC1

Only then did Le Yao realize that Xu Yao had changed his clothes. The man had been wearing a casual suit when he registered for the marriage, and now he was in the blue uniform of the Tarot Air Force. The colors of the military uniforms here were not the same as those on Earth. The Army had olive green uniforms, and the Navy’s was pure white. The Air Force did not have an ordinary blue, they had sky blue instead, and the higher the position, the darker the color of the uniform.

Xu Yao was a General. Although he was just a Major General, his uniform was the darkest color of the night sky, a very dark and thick purplish-blue. This man, who was as tall and straight as a pine tree in casual clothes, now had his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs emphasized when he wore this fitting military uniform with his belt tied around his waist. It was looking so good that it was hard for Le Yao to move his eyes away from such a sight.

They were all men, but the difference was so big. Le Yao couldn’t help but feel a little jealous!

He was still a little upset after boarding the hover car. As a result, just as he sat down, the intelligent safety belt slowly fastened itself. The super large military hover car carried him into the night sky with Xu Yao, Uncle Ming, Yan Jie and two other guards in a low-key and aggressive manner. The hover car accelerated steadily, and in five seconds it made for the vast Star River with a speed that neither the former nor the present Le Yao had ever experienced. oS3nNg

As for his own hover car, because it couldn’t keep up with this speed at all, it had to be carried along with external delivery.

Ten minutes later, they docked with Flying Wolf Seven, the spaceship which was flying to Planet Huaxia and flew there at a much faster speed. During this voyage, Le Yao and Xu Yao roomed next door to each other, but they only met a few times during which Xu Yao flirted with him. Fortunately, Xu Yao did not mark him, so Le Yao was a little bit relieved.

Three days later, he saw his real home planet, the original blue planet that was now shrouded in a gray bitterness.

As the global temperature increased, icebergs melted and sea level rose a lot, so the places he remembered that should have been land had mostly become blue at the moment, and green land was even less visible. Large areas of the ground were submerged, and the atmosphere had a yellow sky. Vdkie3

For others, this degradation of Earth was the result of hundreds of years of contamination, but for Le Yao, it was a sudden change that had happened within just dozens of hours. He could not help but be saddened. His eyes grew wet and he suddenly felt homesick, lost in thought of his master and his two brothers. Xu Yao, who was next to him, wanted to say something to Le Yao. However, upon seeing his red and teary eyes, some kind of speculation flashed through his mind.

This child… he had said he wanted to find someone here, but he didn’t tell me who it is. Hmm, it better not be his old lover…
