Chapter 2844: Chapter 34: The Third Day (Part 4)

Harrison Lucas asked: "Um... Have you heard of those Boys’ Love novels and BL comics that are pretty popular among young people lately? It’s all because of them—I’ve been inadvertently coming across them online recently, probably seen too much, so I can’t help but overthink."

"Boys’ Love novels and BL comics?" Ben Lucas’s stern face finally showed a hint of confusion; it was the first time he had heard these terms, which left him completely perplexed.

With a low, cold voice, the man asked: "Is it a new type of weapon, or some kind of new strategic deployment?"

In Ben Lucas’s eyes, his little follower, though not very powerful physically, had a clever mind.

He naturally assumed that Harrison Lucas was just browsing military forums for leisure.

Harrison Lucas pursed his lips, explaining: "Boys’ Love novels describe romances between men. BL is the abbreviation for boys’ love, so BL comics refer to comics about emotional connections between men..."

Harrison Lucas looked embarrassed: "I’ve accidentally watched too much of this kind of stuff recently, making it easy to overreact. When I see males approaching, I tend to overreact."

Upon hearing the explanation, Ben Lucas’s face turned dark.

He couldn’t possibly have anticipated that his most capable subordinate was—wasn’t learning anything good, but was hiding away to secretly read this kind of junk media, which had even affected daily life.

Ben Lucas reprimanded sternly: "Harrison Lucas, do you even know what you’re saying! This is the military, and most of your comrades in arms are men. During wartime, you must be with them daily; your back should be entrusted to your comrades; they should be your most trusted allies. Now, are you planning to avoid all male companionship, fearing their approach?"

"No, I don’t need to." Harrison Lucas shook his head, presenting an excuse he had thought up long ago: "The protagonists in those boy’s love novels and comics are all handsome guys; it’s only Major General like you, who are good-looking, that I need to avoid. When guys like Jared Holbrook and Franklin Miller come close, it’s fine, no allergic reaction."

Ben Lucas’s stern expression became even more unpleasant, and his sharp eyes squinted.

Now it seems he’s become an object of Harrison Lucas’s disdain?

Harrison Lucas dared not look directly at Ben Lucas’s extremely dark face; he could only keep a stiff upper lip and say: "So Major General, I don’t purposely want to be allergic to you... It’s just that I’m not interested in the feelings between men, but you really make it easy for me to imagine.

If possible, Major General, can you stay a bit further away from me, keep some distance. This reaction is like getting goosebumps; if you keep away, the rash on my neck will slowly fade."

Harrison Lucas totally didn’t realize there was a problem with this analogy.

Comparing Ben Lucas to a source causing an allergic reaction and using symptoms of goosebumps as an analogy.

Under what circumstances do people get goosebumps?

It’s when they feel disgusted or creeped out, of course.

Therefore, she was effectively saying that if Ben Lucas got too close, it would make her uncomfortable, thereby causing her disgust or chill.

"Fine, very fine." Ben Lucas’s icy eyes held hidden rage on the verge of explosion; he never imagined that he’d one day be disliked to this extent by his subordinate whom he single-handedly raised.

"Harrison Lucas, you should have gone to the penalty weight training last time, and start it immediately. You’ve been too relaxed lately, hence having time for such nonsense!"

"Yes, Major General." Harrison Lucas stood at attention, though needing to accept punishment in advance, a sigh of relief escaped.

Great, finally slipped through!
