Chapter 159
Chapter 159: Showing off your love is fun for a moment, showing it off all the time is fun all the time. The annoying people suddenly appear
When the Commander in Chief tilted his head, Deputy Officer Ai could see the bite marks on his neck even more clearly. It was not just one bite mark, but several irregular bite marks piled together.
The skin around the teeth marks was red and swollen, with tiny beads of blood seeping out. One mark was very close to his Adam’s apple, so close that it felt like the next bite would land right on it.
This was romance. This was the private fun between the Commander in Chief and schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea. He had almost no eye for it and had just suggested the Commander in Chief go to the Healing room and heal away this fun.
Deputy Officer Ai realized his mistake very seriously. He raised his voice and answered: “Reporting to the Commander in Chief, the marking seal that schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea left on your neck looks very good. There is no need to go to the Healing room!”
Such flirtatious bite marks, if they were healed away, would be such a loss. They looked best exactly where they were, on the Commander in Chief’s neck.
Chong Ming’s lips curved slightly as he said: “I also think there’s no need to go to the Healing room. Send out the notice. There will be a meeting at the Imperial Military Headquarters in fifteen minutes.”
Deputy Officer Ai answered: “Yes, Commander in Chief.”
Chong Ming lifted his foot and walked past Deputy Officer Ai.
Deputy Officer Ai stood where he was and only then reacted. Just now, had the Commander in Chief been showing off the bite marks that schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea left on his neck?
Hmm, it seemed like it. The way their Commander in Chief had spoken while showing off even seemed a bit coy. Yes, a bit coy…
[No way, that must be my imagination. How could the Commander in Chief be coy like that? He just has someone he is pursuing and is in love, and wants to share his joy with others. He’s not coy at all!]
The warship Chong Ming was on took less than ten minutes to reach the Imperial Military Headquarters. He did not let the ship dock directly at the window of his office.
He had the warship hover above the Imperial Military Headquarters building, then went down from the rooftop by elevator and entered his office.
On the way, not only the staff members and bodyguards on his warship, but also the office workers of the Imperial Military Headquarters all found out that the Commander in Chief had someone he was pursuing.
His love interest was wild and passionate. One bite on the Commander in Chief was not enough. She had bitten his neck full of marks, like she wanted to declare her ownership.
The Commander in Chief also indulged her and pampered her. He walked around with the bite marks she had left, letting others see. He was no longer a wild dragon. He was a dragon with a mate.
Some staff members at the Imperial Military Headquarters could not hold back their curiosity and taste for gossip. While eating breakfast or drinking water, three or five of them gathered together: “The Commander in Chief is one hundred and fifty years old, and his dragon heart is finally moved. What kind of female is the other side? She’s never been here to the Imperial Military Headquarters with him.”
“It’s good she hasn’t come. If she had come, they would probably have registered their marriage already and announced it to everyone.”
“Yeah, yeah. Since she hasn’t come to the Imperial Military Headquarters, and the Commander in Chief is still hiding her, it shows that having this female still isn’t the right time to announce it.”
“What do you mean not the right time? Did you forget? Some time ago, didn’t the Imperial Authorities officially confirm that that Jiang something…”
“Jiang…”
“Jiang Yi Cheng, that traitor, joined hands with the Insectoid Race and tried to capture the Crown Prince. He badly injured the Royal Household’s youngling.”
“This already shows that the Commander in Chief and his partner have registered their marriage. His partner and youngling are either in the Imperial Palace or in some other place, resting and recovering.”
“Right, right, right. Didn’t you notice? Recently the Commander in Chief gets off work at nine in the evening. He doesn’t work overtime until midnight anymore. What does that say?”
“It says he goes home to date, to raise the youngling, to warm the bed, to kiss and hug and lift his partner up high!”
“Oh my, I always thought the Commander in Chief was like an ice mountain, that he wouldn’t marry or have younglings. I never thought that at one hundred and fifty, he’d find a partner and even have a youngling.”
“I’m really curious what our Commander in Chief’s madam, his Prince of the Blood consort, his Your Highness, looks like. How amazing must she be to win over the Commander in Chief and make him show off a neck full of bite marks to prove he is taken?”
“This shows the Commander in Chief really likes his partner. Only if you truly like someone do you want to show off the traces of your love.”
“Ugh, sweet love appearing on the Commander in Chief is wild, but it also feels strangely fitting. I hope the Commander in Chief has two younglings in three years, five younglings in ten years, and that the golden Dragon Clan thrives.”
Chong Ming went into one meeting after another with the bite marks on his neck. Through video conference, the leaders of all the departments and the heads of each Army Corps all found out that their top superior and his partner were getting along very well.
That was not even the main point. The main point was that during today’s meetings, their top superior, Commander in Chief Chong Ming, did not scold them and did not roar at them. He only reminded them and encouraged them.
They all felt flattered and could hardly believe it. Each of them secretly prayed that Chong Ming and his partner must have a harmonious life together, have one in three years, two in five years, and five in ten years!
Jiang Tea Tea returned to the Academy, rushed into the school cafeteria, and ordered more than twenty kinds of delicate breakfast food. She looked at them without interest and did not feel hungry at all.
She decided that the reason she was not hungry was because these days Chong Ming had calmed her with his supernatural abilities and spiritual power. She had drunk his blood, and last night she had rooted herself in Mother Earth again, so now she was not hungry.
As for why she craved Chong Ming, why she bloomed…
The flower was gone again.
Jiang Tea Tea raised a hand to touch her head. She did not feel the flower. Only then did she realize the flower that had bloomed on her head had fallen off at some unknown time and in some unknown place.
So, she craved Chong Ming because he was a great tonic, her food. As for blooming, it was because she drank enough dragon blood and her mood was good, so she naturally bloomed.
Anyway, there was no way she would fall in love with her food. There was no way she would treat her food as a partner in love.
“Roommate, what are you thinking about? Your face is full of spring. Tell me, after you went on a date with my uncle last night, did you go be romantic again?”
Sui Xuan Chu had not wanted to say anything at first, but he had already been sitting across from his roommate for two minutes. His roommate still had not noticed him. Her eyes were fixed on the tabletop like there were rare delicacies and strange foods laid out there.
Jiang Tea Tea came back to herself and lifted her head to look at Sui Xuan Chu. She shot back: “Romantic, your head. At this time you should be out running and training, shouldn’t you?”
Sui Xuan Chu chuckled and said: “The Academy thinks I went home yesterday, so I’m slacking off this morning. No running, no training. I came over early to find you.”
Jiang Tea Tea nodded and said: “I’ll tell your uncle later.”
Sui Xuan Chu clicked his tongue and said: “Roommate, I’ve found that you’re not proud because you’re favored. You’re just using the tiger’s power to act like a fox.”
Jiang Tea Tea pointed at herself and said: “I’m proud because I’m favored? I’m using a tiger’s power? I think you’re asking for a beating.”
Sui Xuan Chu had been sitting across from her. He walked around to sit beside her, grabbed her pointing finger, and said very sincerely: “Roommate, how about you register your marriage with my uncle and become my aunt?”
“You be my aunt, then you can skip him and manage me directly. Super easy.”
Jiang Tea Tea yanked her finger back and wiped it on her school uniform with disgust as she said: “Is your uncle some kind of hot cake? Why would I go register a marriage with him?”
“I’m telling you, you can give up that idea. I’m not going to be your aunt.”
Sui Xuan Chu covered his mouth with his hand and leaned closer to Jiang Tea Tea as he said: “Roommate, don’t talk so full of yourself. If you end up slapping your own face later, it’ll be loud.”
He meant she would marry his uncle? That was impossible.
Jiang Tea Tea’s position was firm as she said: “I’m not going to slap my own face. You can relax.”
Sui Xuan Chu clicked his tongue twice like a dog as he said: “Just be stubborn then. By the usual rule, people like you are stubborn in the beginning and slapped in the face later.”
Jiang Tea Tea waved a fist at him and said: “If you keep running your mouth, I’ll slap you in the face right now, believe it or not?”
Sui Xuan Chu immediately pulled away from her and said: “I believe, I believe. Let’s eat.”
Jiang Tea Tea snorted twice and said: “I’m not eating. You eat.”
Sui Xuan Chu looked at the untouched breakfast and asked: “You’re not eating, not even a bite?”
Jiang Tea Tea said: “I have no appetite.”
She said she had no appetite, but usually when she ate, it looked like she wanted to stuff everything into her mouth. Now she said she had no appetite. His uncle had really raised and spoiled her well.
Sui Xuan Chu moved back to sit across from her again. He picked up a plate and used the public chopsticks to put a few of his favorite breakfast dishes onto his own tray and started to stuff himself.
Jiang Tea Tea watched him eat, resting her arm across her belly and feeling the little ones inside. Early in the morning they were very active.
Halfway through his breakfast, Sui Xuan Chu paused and motioned to Jiang Tea Tea: “Roommate, your cheap older brother and older sister came to eat.”
Jiang Tea Tea followed his gaze and looked over. She met the eyes of Wolf Xin Rui and the other two, who had just come into the school cafeteria and were looking around.
The Fake Young Miss’s consciousness once again stirred inside her. Just like Jiang Tea Tea, she felt it was unlucky and turned away, acting like she had not seen them.
Wolf Xin Rui, Wolf Xin Ping, and Wolf Xin Chong, however, lit up when they saw her and quickly jogged over.
Sui Xuan Chu moved back to Jiang Tea Tea’s side again. Holding chopsticks in one hand and a meat bun in the other, he said to the three of them: “Sorry, these seats are ours. If you want to eat, go find different seats.”
Wolf Xin Rui and the others stopped walking. She said: “Sui Xuan Chu, you are the first-year Combat Department top student. We know you’re excellent. But Jiang Tea Tea is our younger sister, our real younger sister.”
“We want to talk to our real younger sister and chat a bit. Please don’t block us.”
Sui Xuan Chu flipped the chopsticks in his hand and stabbed them into the hard tabletop. The chopsticks pierced straight through and stuck there as he said: “You say she’s your younger sister, so she is your younger sister? What proof do you have?”
“Just by flapping your lips, you want to cling to her, pick up cheap family ties, and claim her as your younger sister. How is your face so big?”
“Oh, I get it. You three tried to steal her credit and failed, and now you’ve been given a major demerit and told to call your parents. Your parents didn’t come, so you came to play the family card. That little abacus of yours almost cracked my face open.”
Jiang Tea Tea was the one his uncle was chasing, his future aunt, the future Commander in Chief of the Three Armies, and the future top variant plant-type Healing master in all of Interstellar Space.
She also had his younger brother or younger sister in her belly. These three white-eyed wolves wanted to steal her away from him, to fight his uncle for her. They really thought too highly of themselves.
Wolf Xin Rui, Wolf Xin Ping, and Wolf Xin Chong all turned red and ugly from being scolded. Their dad and mother were already unhappy with what they had done at the Academy.
Their parents blamed them for making things too stiff between them and Jiang Tea Tea, and ordered the three of them to fix their relationship with her. Only if Jiang Tea Tea was willing to come home and recognize them would they come deal with their problems at the Academy.
Otherwise, their parents would not recognize the three of them, would kick them out of the White Wolf Tribe, and would cut off all spending money and resources.
They did not want to lose everything they had, so they had spent days trying to find Jiang Tea Tea. But she was either in class or already gone from the Academy.
They themselves had made a big mistake and had been ordered by the Academy to stay in their dorms. Today they were only allowed out because they had behaved well.
They came to the school cafeteria hoping to get lucky. They did not expect that luck to really hit and that they would see Jiang Tea Tea eating breakfast.
Wolf Xin Rui pressed down the anger that rose from being scolded and anxiously said to Jiang Tea Tea: “Tea Tea, about those five bugs before, we were wrong. We wanted to improve too much and made that mistake.”
“The Academy has already punished us, given us a major demerit, and made us write a promise letter and a confession. We know we were wrong. Please forgive us.”
Wolf Xin Ping quickly added: “Yeah, Tea Tea, you know we’re your older brother and older sister. You know we are family. We should help each other and stay united so others won’t laugh at us.”
“We know you’re very outstanding, so outstanding that Commander in Chief Chong Ming values you. Because of you and your squad members, the Commander in Chief personally made a study plan. We can do that too.”
Wolf Xin Chong nodded again and again: “Right, right, Tea Tea, younger sister, we are all Level S ability users, excellent men and women with S-level supernatural abilities. We’re better and more outstanding than your squad members.”
“They got the Commander in Chief’s attention because of you, and your supernatural ability level rose because of you. Look, can we join your study squad too?”
“As long as we join your study squad, we can study together and go home together. Dad and Mother will definitely be very happy. Then our whole family can be together again, and you’ll be our family’s little princess, the most spoiled daughter.”
Sui Xuan Chu clapped his hands in a rapid patter and said: “Roommate, I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone this shameless. What do you think?”
Jiang Tea Tea agreed: “This is the first time I’ve seen white-eyed wolves this shameless and this good at arranging other people’s lives.”
They were from the White Wolf Tribe. Calling them white-eyed wolves was not wrong.
Even the remaining consciousness of the Fake Young Miss inside her was stunned, as if shocked that she had never seen people this brazen.
Sui Xuan Chu stopped clapping and said: “Should we talk to the Headmaster, the Dean of Students, and the rest of the school leaders and get them a prize or something?”
Jiang Tea Tea nodded and said: “We could…”
Wolf Xin Rui cut her off and said: “Tea Tea, we’re your real older sister and older brother. We’re your real family.”
“After we found out about you, we always wanted to recognize you as family. It was you. You’re the one who kept guarding against us.”
“Sui Xuan Chu is just an outsider. Don’t sing in harmony with an outsider to hurt the feelings between us, your own family.”
Jiang Tea Tea planted her hands on the table and stood up. She opened her mouth and spoke the words of the Fake Young Miss’s consciousness: “There is no feeling between me and you. The reason you came to recognize me is because you saw my value.”
“If I were a useless pure human with no awakened supernatural ability, you would never come shamelessly like this.”
“So stop talking to me about family love. There is no family feeling between us at all…”
“Ah!”
Before Jiang Tea Tea could finish, Wolf Xin Chong clutched his head and let out a sharp scream. He fell hard to the ground and cried: “My head, my spiritual sea hurts so much, ah!”
Wolf Xin Rui and Wolf Xin Ping’s faces changed. One of them rushed over to comfort Wolf Xin Chong. The other turned anxiously to Jiang Tea Tea and shouted: “Tea Tea, your older brother’s supernatural ability is rioting. Hurry, you have to calm his supernatural ability and smooth his spiritual power!”
