Chapter 40 Nightmare: A person will still wake up in the middle of the night

Admiral Huo threw questions one after another, and even a Beta like Ji He who could not feel the pressure of pheromones could not help but be confused by the questions.

The military boots stepped on the ground, making a few hollow thuds.

Ji He took a deep breath, and under great pressure, he said, "Why does the admiral think that what he thinks is what the colonel thinks?"

"You are his elder and the one who raised him, but you cannot replace his will or control his life!"

Hearing this, Huo Yingzhan lowered his voice with anger, snorted, and continued, "What about you?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Or do you really think I would let a Beta who climbs into bed during his susceptible period enter the Huo family?"

The accusation of bed climbing was too harsh. Ji He gritted his teeth, looked directly at Huo Yingzhan, and said, "Even if I am nothing, you should still have basic respect for me."

No matter who Huo Yingzhan is, even the chairman of the Federation has to show some respect to him, and no one dares to question whether he has basic respect.

This ignorant Beta!

"You knew he had pheromone disorder, yet you deliberately seduced him during the Alpha's susceptible period, and took advantage of his soft heart to make him take responsibility for you."

"How could the federal military produce such a shameless person like you!"

"I've given you a chance to leave Planet 2 safely, but you want more, don't you?"

Ji He stood in the dim shadows, facing such accusations, his back remained straight.

He just liked him and didn't hurt anyone, nor did he want to gain anything from Huo Yubai.

It was so in the past and it is so now.

But Admiral Huo didn't believe him and had already convicted him, wanting him to get away as far as possible. Ji He would not accept it and would not compromise.

"I don't want anything but to stay with the Colonel."

Ji He walked this road for a very long time before he finally came to Huo Yubai's side.

Amidst the flickering will-o'-the-wisp lights and countless suspicious eyes, he moved forward with all his courage, and he never thought that his sincerity would be questioned.

"Admiral, I am sincere to the colonel. Even if you don't like me or approve of me, I will not leave the colonel."

Huo Yingzhan looked at the other person's stubborn eyes and felt that it was like a piece of sticky candy that could not be thrown away. It was of no benefit other than sticking to his teeth.

Although they had different faces, he seemed to see another person through that similar gaze.

Another Beta that he really disliked.

"sincere?"

Admiral Huo couldn't help but chuckle. As a traditional Alpha patriarch, he only believed in blood instincts and core interests.

Love is nothing more than a product catalyzed by hormones and pheromones, and is the most useless thing.

"Just because of your sincerity, will he give up the decades of cultivation that his ancestors and parents have given him? Will he give up the marriage that can help him?"

"Is the love and sincerity that Sergeant Ji mentioned worth the Huo family paying such a price?"

Admiral Huo became more and more angry as he spoke. His disgust and dislike for Beta surged out like a tidal wave, and every word he wrote was filled with hostility.

"Is there anything you can do to help him, to comfort the Alpha with your cheap body?"

Ji He, who was suddenly humiliated, raised his head abruptly, gritted his teeth and took a half step back.

"He has pheromone disorder now. Maybe your presence will help a little, but don't forget that one day his disease will be completely cured."

"When the time comes, do you think he will choose an Omega with similar qualifications, or will he risk being discovered and continue to have an ambiguous relationship with his Beta subordinate?"

"I just thought you had bad intentions before, but I didn't expect you to have no self-awareness."

Ji He's nose was sore, but he calmed down and asked calmly, "Have you told the colonel what the admiral said?"

Admiral Huo did not answer. His expression was a bit like he was choked. He gritted his teeth and said, "What does that have to do with you?"

"You want me to leave so much because you want the colonel to follow the path you have arranged, whether it is to become a soldier or to get married. Have you ever asked him what he wants?"

There are thousands of paths in this world.

Ji He remembered very clearly that the young man at that time did not want to follow the Yangguan Road arranged for him by his parents.

However, a huge change drowned out Alpha's voice. He became the same person as his father, and even repeated a similar fate in marriage.

If Major General Huo had not left the military, perhaps Huo Yubai would have had a different life.

"General Huo, do you really think you can manipulate a person's heart?"

Huo Yubai is a human being, not a puppet.

"Ji He, you are not qualified to talk to me like this."

"No matter how you flatter me, I will not let you stay with Yu Bai."

"Don't think he can protect you. The federal military has not reached the age of Huo Yubai yet."

If the previous words were nothing more than derogatory and humiliating, then this one was a real threat.

Ji He's eyes flashed, obviously he didn't expect the other party to abuse his power for personal gain so blatantly.

"Admiral, your behavior is despicable."

"If you were in my position, I'm afraid you would make the same choice."

Ji He bit his lower lip, endured the sourness in his throat, and said coldly: "I won't."

"Neither will the Colonel."

Huo Yingzhan turned around and sneered, "Do you think he would disobey my orders for you and bring punishment upon his own family?"

"Or did he say he loved you or wanted to marry you."

Admiral Huo adjusted his clothes and turned around. As he wished, he saw Beta, who was as thin as a bamboo, shaking for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.

Alpha caught the flash of anxiety in the man's eyes and said mercilessly: "It seems not."

Huo Yingzhan's low and cold voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. The sound kept wriggling and drilling into Ji He's ear cavity, biting Beta's heart hard.

Ji He took a half step back and said, "Does the Admiral always like to speculate about others like this?"

"A soldier never tires of deception."

Admiral Huo's mood turned from gloomy to bright, and he said in a cold tone: "I will let you know what he really thinks."

"I hope that Sergeant Ji will stop being so stubborn by then."

When Ji He left, his steps were light and he felt a layer of sweat on his back.

I was clearly sleepy, but I just couldn't fall asleep.

Huo Yubai certainly never said that he liked me, let alone loved me.

Ji He pulled the quilt and wrapped himself tightly, as if this would make him feel more secure.

He lay on his back and shook his head, trying to stop thinking about it.

But he remembered every word Admiral Huo said very clearly. Those heart-piercing questions were like sharp blades hanging around his neck, swaying and ready to fall at any time.

"Does the Colonel really like me?"

The pearly whites of her eyes were a little bloodshot, and in the blink of an eye, a little misty water vapor flowed out.

"Don't leave me."

Those were not tears, but a feeling of empathy.

Ji He woke up from the nightmares one after another. He told himself: "It's okay, it's just a dream."

"It's okay."

Whenever he was sad as a child, he would pretend to be another person to comfort himself. This is a habit that Ji He finds difficult to give up.

Of course dreams are just dreams, but the things that frightened Ji He have actually happened more than once.

The fear of being abandoned halfway is an indelible shadow in his heart. Ji He thought he had hidden these nightmares well, but he would still wake up in the middle of the night when he was alone.

That night.

Raindrops fell into the forest of steel and mud, and bright yellow car lights swept across the gate of the Federal Army Headquarters.

Colonel Huo looked up at the sky. Raindrops were falling from the dark blue night sky, one drop, two drops slowly and evenly.

The action of wiping out the reactionary forces was not difficult for Huo Yubai, but he wanted to end it quickly more than before.

The Silver Blade Mech turned into a murderous god of war, and wherever it went, everyone bowed down to it.

Huo Yubai sat in the control room of the mecha with a sullen face, and suddenly he felt an urge to return home.

Seeing how violently he was killing people, the Alpha lieutenant who often cooperated with him joked in our channel: "Colonel, what's wrong with you? You're killing too fiercely. Do you have an Omega wife at home waiting for you to hug her?"

Huo Yubai was stunned when he heard this, but he did not deny it.

Because he knew that Ji He must be waiting for his triumphant return.

The clearing operation ended successfully. After floating in the universe for so long, the Alphas with families are nagging about retiring early, and the bachelors are thinking about fighting one more battle.

On the way back to the second satellite, they happened to encounter an aerial auction and participated in it with their colleague Colonel Rajo.

"Just for fun."

Huo Yubai actually had no interest.

"These things are too expensive. Even if I sell myself, I still can't afford them."

"Tsk, who wants to buy you? You eat a lot and you don't like to take a bath."

Colonel Huo looked at the items flashing quickly on the computer. Most of them were jewelry, paintings, calligraphy, and ornaments. There was nothing special.

Until a diamond brooch came into view.

Alpha's finger stopped at the feather-shaped brooch and he thought of Ji He.

The other party seems to like the element of feathers.

Compared to earrings, a brooch studded with diamonds is more suitable for formal wear, which is both low-key and attractive.

"Metis."

"Colonel, I'm here."

"Help me find out Ji He's birthday."

Metis tilted her head and replied in a sweet voice, "Sorry, I couldn't find it."

"How come there isn't any?"

Colonel Huo added the diamond brooch to his bidding list as he spoke.

"Colonel, Ji He is an orphan, he may not be sure of his birthday..."

When the man heard this answer, his brows furrowed sharply. He placed his arms, which were casually draped over his sides, on the table in front of him and clasped his fingers together.

"Colonel?"

"I see."

"It's okay, you can leave first."

Metis's virtual light and shadow disappeared in an instant.

Many people also took a fancy to the diamond brooch that Colonel Huo bid for, and its price kept rising.

Alpha's colleague came over, took a look at the price with countless zeros, and sighed, "Colonel, do you have billions lying cold in your account?"

"Can you give me some flowers?"

Huo Yubai turned his head and answered coldly, "No."

In the end, the feather-shaped diamond brooch was bought by an anonymous online buyer codenamed H.
