Chapter 68: I’ll Take Care of You?

Chapter 68: Should I Go Take Care of You?

"Where did YeYe go?" Shen Yu had just finished handling his affairs and needed to get a sniff of YeYe to recharge his energy.

He looked for YeYe from the cafeteria all the way to his room but couldn't find him. When he reached the pharmacy entrance, he happened to run into Gu Yuankai and stopped him to ask.

Gu Yuankai smiled ingratiatingly. "The general's consort went out with the prince's consort."

Shen Yu glanced at him. This guy sure knows how to sweet-talk.

That address of "general's consort" made General Shen feel all warm inside.

Unable to suppress his gossipy heart, Gu Yuankai spoke even more sweetly: "General, you and your beloved are a match made in heaven! When you stand together, you look so perfect together. Your subordinate is dying of envy."

General Shen couldn't stop his lips from curling up, but still tried to act aloof. "Spit it out."

Although very pleased, he wouldn't get carried away like Bai Yuanzhou after a few compliments.

Gu Yuankai chuckled twice. "Can't we talk about your romantic history with your beloved? Like how you got together and how long you've been together?"

He really wanted to gossip! A life without gossip is a mess!

Shen Yu used to mock Bai Yuanzhou for being foolish enough to tell everyone about his love story, but now he could barely hold himself back.

"We're all friends here, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone!" Gu Yuankai raised four fingers to swear.

As if Shen Yu didn't know what he was like? But because the joy of love was too strong, he still shared with a straight face: "We liked each other, so we got together."

"Who pursued whom?"

"I pursued him."

Gu Yuankai was surprised. He had thought Bai Yeye made the first move, never expecting it was their aloof General who did.

"Have you seen YeYe's human form?"

"Not yet, but I know he's really good-looking."

"How do you know he's good-looking if you haven't seen it?"

"Because YeYe is the best-looking one." Shen Yu said firmly.

"..." Gu Yuankai felt like not continuing, but for gossip's sake, Vice General Gu swallowed his pride.

"When did you confess?"

"A few days ago." Shen Yu almost laughed at the memory of his confession. How could he have been so impulsive? He wondered if YeYe would think he rushed it. When he proposed, he would definitely make it a big, grand affair, making YeYe the happiest Samoyed ever.

Seeing his blissful expression, Gu Yuankai was both happy for him and jealous. "Does it feel good to be in love?"

Shen Yu nodded, then said like an old hand: "You're not getting any younger, find someone soon."

Gu Yuankai: ...

Damn! That used to be his line!! How did it become Shen Yu's line now!

"I do want to find someone, but there's no one suitable around the base every day!" After saying that, Gu Yuankai thought of something and chuckled again. "General, do you remember that white-haired beauty?"

"Yeah."

"How about you play matchmaker for me?" If he could marry such a beauty, it'd mean the Gu family ancestors are really smiling down on them.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow. "You like him?"

"Not exactly, but he's very good-looking. Any alpha would be tempted. You were never tempted, were you?"

Shen Yu recalled the first time they met. To be honest, he did feel a flutter at that time. But now his mind was set, he only wanted Bai Yeye. "Nope."

Gu Yuankai pursed his lips. "Guess I'm just low-tier, can't compare to a resolute alpha like you. Funny thing, that beauty gives me a familiar feeling, like I've seen him somewhere before.

Shen Yu was about to ask him if it reminded him of Bai Yeye, when he saw Bai Ruoshui hurrying into the pharmacy, not even stopping to say hi.

Shen Yu smelled blood on him, his face fell, and he strode forward to ask, "Where's YeYe!"

"... In the prince's mansion."

"Why did he go to the prince's mansion? Is he injured?"

Bai Ruoshui didn't want to break his word, so he reluctantly covered for Bai Yeye: "Not injured, he's in his heat cycle."

"...?" Shen Yu calmed down, his expression turned weird. "Isn't he in beast form now?"

"Beast form doesn't stop the heat cycle. He's also afraid he'll lose it if he sees you, so he wants to stay there temporarily. I have some business now, you can check in with him later." Worried he'd slip up, Bai Ruoshui grabbed the herbs and hurried off.

General Shen stood there, his heart itching with eagerness.

If YeYe's in heat, he'll probably shift to human form. Maybe he can go check on him?

But if he sees his beloved in heat, he knows he'll do something he can't control. What if Bai Yeye doesn't want that and ends up hating his guts?

"General, General." Gu Yuankai waved his hand in front of him.

General Shen snapped out of it, forcing a calm face. "What's the matter?"

"Your face is red." Gu Yuankai said, holding back a laugh. First time seeing the general blush—he had to grab that security footage later!

Shen Yu touched his face and glared at him. "Don't let me hear you running your mouth."

Gu Yuankai pressed his arms tight to his sides. "Don't worry, I definitely won't talk nonsense—I'll just spice it up a bit."

Shen Yu returned to his office, picked up the two palm-sized plush YeYe toys on the desk, his heart all stirred up.

Since he couldn't go see him, at least he could video-chat him, right?

What if Bai Yeye allowed him to go over?

Shen Yu, hating his own weak willpower, contacted Bai Yeye.

Bai Yeye didn't dare to pick up the video call, so he just sent a voice message: "Hey, what's up?"

Shen Yu cautiously typed: "The prince's consort said you're not feeling well. I wanna see how you're doing."

!!!

Why did his brother have to be honest?

Wait—if he'd really told the truth, Shen Yu would've come over already.

Bai Yeye thought about it before replying, "A little, but it's fine, don't worry about me."

"Do you need me to come over?" Shen Yu still wanted to take care of him personally.

How could Bai Yeye dare to let him come? "No, no, don't come. I'll get someone else to take care of me. You should focus on the base stuff now; that's the priority."

Shen Yu texted a question mark.

Bai Yeye's heart skipped a beat. Could Shen Yu tell he was lying?

"At a time like this, you're letting someone else take care of you?" In this situation, shouldn't you only accept the care of the one you love? How could someone else do it?

"Because it's no big deal, so I figured it's fine to have someone else."

"So are you having an alpha take care of you, or an omega?"

Bai Yeye, thinking he was an alpha now, lied, "An alpha, of course. Alphas are stronger."

Shen Yu texted another question mark.

Bai Yeye was even more confused. Did he find out or not?

"If you don't like an alpha, should I switch to an omega to take care of me?"

Switching to an omega is even worse! What if they ended up marking each other? His boyfriend of less than three days would be gone.

Shen Yu couldn't stay put any longer. "I'm coming over now."

"Huh? You really don't have to! Someone else is taking care of me; seriously, no need!"

The more he said that, the faster Shen Yu moved, afraid that if he was even a second late, his boyfriend would become someone else's.

Just then, Bai Ruoshui contacted Bai Yeye: "Yeye, I just finished up. How are you feeling now?"

"Brother Ruoshui, what did you tell Shen Yu? Why does he say he's coming to take care of me?"

"I told him you're in heat and that he should keep his distance for now."

"...Crap, no wonder Shen Yu is so agitated. He probably thinks I'm hooking up with someone else."
