trigger warning

Ji Zuoshan was left in a very safe position, the rest camp in the rear. He was only responsible for the dressing, feeding, and living circumstances of Zhan Yanchao alone. In order to avoid causing any adverse effects, he never took a step outside.

……Up until that day.

When Zhan Yanchao and Ji Zuoshan were eating, a rash staff officer intruded into their tent. The moment he saw Ji Zuoshan, he couldn’t look away.

This staff officer was particularly eye-catching. Ji Zuoshan couldn’t help but give him a second look.

This single look instantly ignited Zhan Yanchao’s temper.

This time he came back from the frontlines having suffered some light wounds, so he was in a bad mood. How could he bear his own Omega making eyes at someone else? He directly threw Ji Zuoshan into a small grain storehouse and locked him in, swearing at him all the way. He passed him a pen and paper through the window, telling him to inspect the stock and report to him later.

When they were both Betas, Zhan Yanchao really liked to lock Ji Zuoshan into a little black house. He’d even previously specially commissioned a coffin for Ji Zuoshan and would stuff him inside and lock him in for a day and night at the slightest provocation.

In his point of view he was simply being unreasonably gentle with this time’s punishment.

However, he forgot to give Ji Zuoshan a bottle of suppressants and forgot that he had been charged with the duty of leading a team in three hours.

Only when warmth filled his body, did Ji Zuoshan realise his heat had come early.

He leaned his body against the window, calling Zhan Yanchao’s name in distress.

No one listened.

Ji Zuoshan started banging on the railings, but had no way of controlling the pheromones flooding out of his body, exceptionally fragrant and intoxicating.

Even his voice changed, “Stop joking around, Yanchao!”

In that tent there were no signs of Zhan Yanchao, but a few people who had come to get a glimpse of the source of the smell had appeared, poking their heads over from nearby.

The past Ji Zuoshan wouldn’t have been stopped by these few metal bars, but now, even using all his strength, he had no way of escaping from this space enclosed by a thatched roof and metal fences.

……The people on the battlefields were all Alphas. What Ji Zuoshan couldn’t do, they could do with ease.

By the time Zhan Yanchao returned in his mecha and noticed the chaos over at the granary, it was already too late.

His gaze turned red and his control snapped. He instantly drove his mecha straight over, crushing everything in his path.

Infighting and killing one’s fellow soldiers before battle was a huge crime. Moreover, the cause of the disaster had been brought here by Zhan Yanchao. Mister Zhao had to expend great effort in order to save Zhan Yanchao from having to face a court martial.

When Ji Zuoshan woke up, he was immediately met with Zhan Yanchao’s furious face.

He pointed at Ji Zuoshan and scolded loudly, “Don’t you know how to resist!? You just let them—— do that. Didn’t you use to be able to fight very well?”

As he watched him stomp around in anger, Ji Zuoshan tried to make excuses for him as he had in the past.

But he was tired.

Having scolded him enough, Zhan Yanchao sat down by his bedside and reflected on his mistakes for a moment. “I shouldn’t have locked you up&#k2026;&#k2026; But don’t worry, I’ve killed everyone who dared to lay a hand on you, and I won’t disdain you because of this in the future, don’t worry.”

Ji Zuoshan shivered slightly.

But he was still indifferent, without even the energy to get angry, “En. I see.”

He didn’t really want to see Zhan Yanchao, but he couldn’t get up at all. Those Alphas were complete beasts in rut, directly breaking his legs. And Zhan Yanchao had been stripped of his military rank and could only stay at home all day.

The first, second time coaxing, the third, fourth time coaxing, Zhan Yanchao could still taker it. But having to face a dead face all day, he absolutely couldn’t bear it any longer, but he didn’t know what was wrong, so he could only let his anger out on Ji Zuoshan.

He felt that Ji Zuoshan definitely cared a lot about his attitude, so he repeatedly expressed, “I already said it! I won’t disdain you, really! Why don’t you believe me?!”

Ji Zuoshan almost wanted to laugh.

He didn’t want to say another word to Zhan Yanchao.

Zhan Yanchao, forced to the point of helplessness, had a flash of inspiration one day, coming up with a good idea.

He told Ji Zuoshan’s siblings about his current state.

The children were both shocked and scared. Each and every one of them made a fuss about wanting to see their brother. Zhan Yanchao brought the children back home, full of joy and expectation. Upon reaching the door to the bedroom, he said loudly, “Xiao Ji, look, who’s here?”

Ji Zuoshan put down his book and glanced at the door.

Upon seeing those little, tear-streaked faces, Ji Zuoshan suddenly lost control.

He pulled up the quilt to cover his face and screeched, “Leave!!! Make them leave!!”

Shocked by his loss of control, his younger siblings started crying even louder.

Zhan Yanchao said, dissatisfied, “You don’t recognise them anymore? These are your younger brothers and sisters.”

Ji Zuoshan didn’t speak, but Zhan Yanchao pushed one of them forward and hurriedly said, “Quick, go to your gege.”

His simei who had been pushed forward by him said, trembling, “Erge, I, I’ll leave first, don’t be sad.”

After that, she quickly ran out. The remaining few children fled like rabbits, eyes red with tears, each fleeing faster than the other.

Zhan Yanchao simply couldn’t understand. “What was the point of calling them over, why are they running?”

Ji Zuoshan yanked down the quilt and glared angrily at Zhan Yanchao.

He didn’t know how to scold people. Even though he was currently trembling with rage, all that came out of his mouth was a single light sentence, “Zhan Yanchao, you’re too much.”

Zhan Yanchao’s face was filled with a lack of understanding. “What did I do?”

Ji Zuoshan was tongue tied.

He originally had an endless amount of hate to let out, but seeing Zhan Yanchao like this, he already lost all the strength to let out what he thought in his heart.

……Just let it be. What else was there to say.

Ji Zuoshan didn’t continue, but Zhan Yanchao was filled with energy. He asked, “Ji Zuoshan, what exactly do you want? I already said, those people are dead——”

Ji Zuoshan turned his back to him, thinking, next he’ll definitely say, he doesn’t care about that.

……Isn’t that just fucking great.

After Zhan Yanchao left resentfully, Ji Zuoshan looked up at the ceiling, let out a bitter laugh, then vomited a mouthful of blood.

Ji Zuoshan was satisfied to just get by in this manner and began to think, when his injuries got better, he wanted to leave the Zhan home, leave Zhan Yanchao.

He really couldn’t stand Zhan Yanchao’s childishness anymore.

He didn’t want there to be a next time.

He told his younger siblings his plans. His younger siblings were all completely in favour of it, even saying they wanted to go with erge, they were all already adults, they could take care of erge.

They set a date to leave, and a place to meet up.

Who would have thought that on the day he had prepared to leave, one of the Zerg units made a detour to the rear and dropped in a large amount of mechanical Zerg.

Even though there were reserve mechs in the rear, those who could fight basically consisted only of Betas and a few low-levelled Alphas, so Zhan Yanchao also joined the guard team, rushing over in his own mecha.

In the chaos, Ji Zuoshan wanted to go find his younger siblings, but ran head-on into a mechanical Zerg that had fallen from the sky.

Since it had seen him, there was no point in running.

Ultimately, he and the mechanical Zerg fell beside the ruins of a fortress that had had several holes blasted into it. The mechanical Zerg’s legs pierced into his lungs, while he ran the mechanical Zerg’s brain through with a steel bar.

Before he died, he struggled to cling onto life for a long time.

He saw Zhan Yanchao walk out of his mecha, hurriedly searching for him. He also saw how his eyes were red when he called his younger siblings over to question them.

He heard his simei yell loudly, “Erge left in the chaos. You won’t ever be able to find him”.

Zhan Yanchao threw his simei to the ground in one move, then rushed towards a few of the Zhan family’s soldiers standing off to the side and shouted, “Even if you have to search to the ends of the earth, you have to bring him back to me.”

Hearing that, Ji Zuoshan laughed.

Before his consciousness faded completely, he dragged himself towards a burning house and threw himself into the flames.

The fire would burn away his face and body. He didn’t want to be found by Zhan Yanchao for the rest of his life.

His only regret, was that he wouldn’t be able to go to that place he and his siblings had agreed on.

After watching the entire story, Chi Xiaochi fell silent.

He briefly issued his impressions, “A shriveled calf.”

061 approved of this description.

Chi Xiaochi asked, “What’s the current situation?”

The response 061 gave him made him let out a slight sigh of relief.

Currently, there was still half a year before the two turned 18, and they were still attending to the mecha academy.

This time, Zhan Yanchao was once again making trouble out of nothing.

A few of the new transfer students hadn’t yet found out about the terror that was Zhan Yanchao, and of course didn’t know about the relationship between Zhan Yanchao and Ji Zuoshan.

In their eyes, Ji Zuoshan was wearing the same school uniform as Zhan Yanchao, so he should be a student with a relatively high status.

Seeing how quiet and handsome Ji Zuoshan was, a girl called Rosie began to like him and pulled him over to talk.

After noticing this, Zhan Yanchao sneered and said, this is my human sacrifice, don’t touch him.

Rosie disliked the existence of “human sacrifices” the most and she really liked Ji Zuoshan, so she just casually said, Zhan, given your strength, you don’t need a human sacrifice, so why not give him to me?

In the end, upon going home that week, Ji Zuoshan was given ten or so lashes by an enraged Zhan Yanchao and locked into the little coffin that had been specifically prepared for him. Only when he was finally unable to bear it anymore did Zhan Yanchao proudly invite everyone, including Rosie, from that day over, to let them see that this person belonged to him.

Hearing Rosie’s almost provocative words, Zhan Yanchao sneered. He turned and looked towards Ji Zuoshan, “Xiao Ji, you’re so amazing. You’ve only met a few times, but you’ve already seduced this person up to here.”

Rosie said in a rude tone, “I’m talking to Ji Zuoshan, what are you butting in for.”

Zhan Yanchao laughed, “Alright, you talk to him. I’ll see what he can say to you without my permission.”

Rosie looked at Ji Zuoshan encouragingly. Reaching out her upturned palm, she gave him a sincere invitation, “Will you come with me? I don’t need a human sacrifice, you just need to be my sparring partner.”

Zhan Yanchao found this rather funny. “Alright, those terms seem very attractive. If Xiao Ji agrees, I’ll let him go.”

Rosie raised her eyebrows. “You’re speaking the truth?”

Zhan Yanchao cracked his whip and proclaimed, “There are so many people here, they can all be my witnesses.”

In the last life, Ji Zuoshan had also received such an invitation.

But the Ji Zuoshan of that time had his mind muddled with pain, only leaving the vague thought: If I stay here, I can also be an Alpha.

Anyways, he wouldn’t dare to trust Rosie. He was afraid that she was another one of those tricks that Zhan Yanchao had planned for a long time to probe at his true feelings.

But this time, Ji Zuoshan raised a shaking hand.

Zhan Yanchao was utterly unconcerned.

He believed, Ji Zuoshan would definitely push Rosie’s hand away.

However, Ji Zuoshan actually lightly placed his hand, covered in wounds, onto Rosie’s palm.

Then, he fell forwards, his fever-ridden body falling into Rosie’s arms.

Seeing this, Zhan Yanchao’s smile froze on his face. His cheeks were both stinging and hot, as if he had been given two harsh slaps across his face.
