Chapter 8 Bite Marks It's hard to accompany people for three rounds of drinks
The night wind ruffled Colonel Huo's hair. The dim light fell on his profile. The man seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Ji He returned the lighter to Huo Yubai, thinking that he could find an opportunity to give the colonel a useful one next time.
The bonfire in the distance was glowing high. The new recruits who had been beaten up by Lieutenant Gu were gearing up for a fair fight with this "interstellar pirate".
Several people were fighting with each other playfully, and there was no trace of the tense atmosphere of the past few days.
"Ji... Instructor Ji!"
Cheng Tianyang stood next to the campfire and waved to Ji He.
"I...did I...did I perform okay this time?"
Alpha lowered his head, a little shy, but his eyes were shining with anticipation.
"Yeah, it's OK."
Ji He looked around but didn't see Cheng Zhi. He learned from Xu Tianyang that the other party seemed to still be angry.
"Cheng Zhi?"
Cheng Zhi wasn't really angry, he was just a little depressed. He took things too seriously and couldn't recover from this mock test quickly.
"Instructor, you're looking for me."
"Are you still angry?"
Cheng Zhi shook his head and fell silent.
Ji He walked up to him, pulled him to sit on the ground, and chatted while pulling grass.
"Instructor, I shouldn't have said those things to you."
Ji He was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was actually worried about this matter. It was obvious that they had deceived all the recruits.
"It's okay."
"Instructor, I will become very strong."
Ji He turned the grass in his hand and replied seriously, "I believe you."
They live in an era of highly developed technology, and even Ji He rarely has such wild survival experience except in his childhood.
Chief instructor Talia announced the next schedule and officially entered the survival assessment of the field training.
These contents are not difficult for the Alpha recruits. Compared with the previous full-scale simulations, they are more like a warm outdoor vacation.
"Damn, why won't the fire start?"
"Damn it, stop blowing it or it will die."
"If I fell from the mecha into this barren place, I would definitely be able to survive."
"Do I need to sleep in a sleeping bag at night? I feel like this is just a waste of time."
Ji He stood aside, staring at the Alphas he brought with him.
"Sergeant Ji, shall we go?" Lieutenant Gu was a very outgoing person. He put his hand on Ji He's shoulder and started to drag him away.
"Where are you going?"
"I brought some goodies, want some?"
Lieutenant Gu smiled in a lewd manner, which greatly diminished his originally delicate facial features.
"Is this the good stuff you mentioned?" Ji He looked at the jars of wine on the table.
Gu Chaowen stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right, and said slowly: "This is not an ordinary wine, it is a royal wine left over from the imperial era."
"Can I still drink it?"
"Wine becomes more mellow as it ages. I brought these few bottles specially for you. Isn't that a sign of loyalty?"
Talia opened the curtain and said mercilessly: "You are afraid that you will have to pay the tax when you go back."
Ji He looked at Gu Chaowen and asked bluntly, "Where did this come from?"
"I picked it up while on a mission."
"It's okay. If you're scared, I'll drink it alone."
Although Gu Chaowen said this, he reached out and took out four or five folding cups, obviously not wanting to let them go.
Talia loved wine. She reached out and shook the jar, reciting, "Drunk and Living in Dreams, what an elegant name."
Gu Chaowen uncorked the wine, and a rich and mellow aroma came out. It was truly a good wine that was no less delicious than any other.
Even someone like Ji He, who doesn't drink alcohol, can tell that this wine is definitely not ordinary.
"I can't drink, you guys drink, I have to watch them."
Gu Chaowen's mouth corners slightly turned down, he pulled Ji He's arm and advised: "Since you are here, why not try a sip."
"A real man shouldn't even be able to drink."
"Don't you have an assistant instructor? I'll ask Colonel Huo to go over and take a look."
Ji He was shocked when he heard this. How could he dare to let Colonel Huo watch over him?
Just as he was about to refuse, several more instructors came in, all called over by Lieutenant Gu.
"Hey, Sergeant Ji is here too. I thought you were too highbrow to participate in our activities."
Lieutenant Gu could tell that this man had bad intentions, so he immediately put his arm around Ji He's shoulders and said with a smile, "Then we have to see who has such a big face."
Now, Ji He had a harder time leaving and could only sit at the table.
Gu Chaowen poured him half a cup and asked him to taste it. He only took a small sip and felt it was so spicy that it made his internal organs feel like they were burning.
It can be seen that the alcohol content of this wine is definitely not low.
"I toast to the chief instructor and also to Lieutenant Gu for his good wine."
Ji He was born with a pale face, but after drinking, his face turned pink. He didn't feel dizzy at first, he just thought the wine didn't taste good at all.
"Why isn't Colonel Huo here?"
Lieutenant Gu held the wine glass, his eyes clear, and answered: "Isn't he Ji He's assistant instructor?"
"I asked him to babysit."
Hearing this, Ji He almost choked out the wine he hadn't swallowed.
“Is this true or false?”
"Lieutenant Gu and Colonel Huo have a very good relationship."
Gu Chaowen took a sip of wine, narrowed his eyes, and replied: "He is a person who appears cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. He is actually quite easy to get along with."
"I have known him since childhood. He was very cute when he was little, not as cold as he is now."
Ji He held the wine glass and felt his scalp tingling. When he heard Lieutenant Gu talking about Colonel Huo, he became interested and toasted Lieutenant Gu like a normal person.
The simple folded wine glasses clinked together, making a short, dull sound.
"Yo, you even learned how to toast. Not bad."
"The lieutenant and Colonel Huo must have known each other since they were in the military academy."
Lieutenant Gu was looking at Ji He with an expression that showed he was a teachable kid, then turned around and answered other people's questions.
"Yes, there were many girls waiting for him at the school gate, but unfortunately he didn't like any of them."
"I have never seen him show any interest in any living person."
When talking about this topic, everyone is excited.
A drunk Alpha sergeant even questioned boldly, "Is Colonel Huo not capable?"
Ji He held the simple wine glass in both hands, thinking that there was nothing wrong with Colonel Huo, he was really great.
If Huo Yubai was a little less capable, he wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Ji He was drunk, with moist eyes, rosy cheeks and red ears. He didn't look as aloof as usual.
"I really don't know what kind of people Colonel Huo would be interested in?" Talia tilted her head, shook the wine altar, and then emptied another one.
"What a gorgeous Omega beauty she must be."
Ji He was drunk and had been barely able to accompany others through three rounds of drinks. Upon hearing this, he took the initiative to pour himself a full glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Is it delicious?" Lieutenant Gu came over with a smile and touched Ji He's face.
Ji He was really drunk, and he didn't even try to hide. He replied, "It doesn't taste good."
At the table, everyone was drunk except Talia, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, so she had to drink alone.
Lieutenant Gu stood up shakily and wanted to send Ji He back to the tent. As he was pulling him up, he ran into Colonel Huo.
Alpha's eyes were indifferent, his clothes were slightly cold, and he still had that aloof face.
"You came at the right time. Take him back."
Lieutenant Gu let out a long burp, frowned, and pushed Ji He into Huo Yubai's arms.
As the weather deepened and the dew got heavier, Colonel Huo's outermost gray-green awning was just enough to block Ji He.
Huo Yubai reached out and touched Ji He's forehead, which was a little hot. He felt a little regretful for letting Gu Chaowen take him to integrate into the group.
"Can you still walk?"
"able."
Ji He still thought he was with Lieutenant Gu, but he felt that the body in front of him was very familiar, so familiar that he wanted to rely on it.
Beta hugged Alpha's waist and leaned into the man's arms.
Sergeant Ji's rest tent was a single-person tent with a single sleeping bag inside.
Hypothermia in the wild can be fatal, Huo Yubai can't just leave people like this.
"Take off your clothes."
With a confused look on his face, Ji He subconsciously followed the instructions, first pulling the belt off his waist, and then taking off his trousers.
"And a coat." Huo Yubai continued to give orders while unzipping the thermal sleeping bag.
Ji He didn't move for a long time, as if he was stunned.
Colonel Huo was getting a little impatient, so he simply reached out and took off the man's coat, turned him over, and wanted to stuff him into the sleeping bag.
The blush on Ji He's face had mostly faded, leaving a layer of soft pink on her snow-white skin; only her earlobes were still red.
When he took off his military uniform, his neck below the collar was long and thin. When he lowered his head, the back of his neck protruded a little, revealing a clear bite mark.
The snow-white skin and the light red bite marks looked particularly ambiguous under the dim light.
Huo Yubai's pupils dilated instantly. It was obvious that the scar was not caused by himself, but by the bite of another Alpha.
Perhaps because so much time had passed, Colonel Huo could no longer detect any trace of the Alph scent, leaving only these stained marks.
The Alpha bit very hard, and the marks didn't look like they only did it once, and you could see how intense their intercourse was.
Huo Yubai frowned.
Therefore, the marks hidden under the sterile dressing were not wounds but bite marks, and Ji He stayed indoors because he was treated like this.
"Jihe."
"Did you ask for leave because you were played like this?"
Huo Yubai's tone was very cold, even colder than a boss questioning a subordinate.
Just as Ji He was about to turn around, Colonel Huo roughly stuffed him into a sleeping bag. He struggled a few times, but when he heard the sound of the zipper being pulled up, he stopped moving.
The light grey sleeping bag was large and soft, wrapping Ji He's body, leaving only his round head exposed.
He quickly fell asleep and missed the best opportunity to answer the colonel.
Huo Yubai turned and left, his expression extremely stern, his dark pupils flashing with a hint of anger, his jawline tense.
As the night fell, Colonel Huo took a deep breath.
Which Alpha left the marks on Ji He's body?
Is he from within the federal military or outside?
Colonel Huo frowned and began to recall all the Alphas around Ji He. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
