Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System! [BL]

Chapter 807 - 15.26

"General Fei, forgive me!" Han Shun said as he prostrated in front of the General.

"What… happened?"

Bai Shijue smiled at General Fei and replied, "I told him to apologize to you."

"You told him to apologize?" General Fei was confused. Obviously, Han Shun had miraculously defeated him in that duel. As sour as he was, he was still a warrior, and he admitted defeat. "This kid, Han Shun, has defeated me fair and square in combat. He doesn't need to apologize."

[I'm sorry to break it to you, General. But Han Shun is basically cheating when he unlocked his hidden potential as a male lead.]

[Pupa: Well, Han Shun is the male lead of this world, so he can't lose, of course.]

"It's not about who won and lost, General. Despite winning the duel, Han Shun is still the kid you practically raised for four years. You gave him shelter, food, and also trained him to be a soldier. He still has a life debt for you."

"Han Shun challenging you to a duel is already atrocious. Even if you have accepted it, he still has to apologize for being such an unfilial student for you," Bai Shijue said.

Han Shun was grieving in his heart because he didn't want to apologize to General Fei. He was the winner. Why would he need to bow down to the loser?

But Bai Gege scolded him about it, and he couldn't defeat Bai Gege in an argument because it was true. Han Shun was treacherous to General Fei, who had trained him and gave him shelter. 

But General Fei saw this as Bai Shijue teaching Han Shun how to humble himself and show gratitude to someone who had helped him for four years. 

General Fei smiled at Bai Shijue and said, "You will make a great mother to my children, Bai Shijue."

Han Shun raised his head instantly, he glared at General Fei. The match was over with his victory. If General Fei still had to audacity to court Bai Gege, then he had no hesitation in killing General Fei right here, right now!

General Fei chuckled when he saw Han Shun's fierce expression, and Bai Shijue quickly pushed Han Shun's head, so his face was facing the ground again.

"Who told you to raise your head!?" Bai Shijue scolded.

"Haha, it's fine, Bai Shijue. Han Shun is very willful, but he is the winner, and he has shown me how talent and hard work could beat me. I might have been rusty, so I have to train more," General Fei said. "Just like what we agreed on, I will never come close to Bai Shijue again. You are free to leave the garrison if you want to. But if you need my help, you can always find me here or in the capital once I have returned."

"Your help is very much appreciated, General. I can't thank you enough," Bai Shijue bowed his head slightly, and he left with Han Shun.

Han Shun decided that he had enough soldier life in the barrack and chose to return with Bai Gege in residence with the carriage.

Han Shun was pouting the whole way to the residence, and Han Shun asked, "Why are you pouting like that? Aren't you happy that you beat the Iron General and returned home with me victoriously?"

"Han Shun doesn't like Bai Gege to be too close with General Fei. We shouldn't apologize to him as well. Han Shun is the winner of the duel, not him!" Han Shun said.

Bai Shijue raised his brow. Han Shun kept referring to himself as a third person for some reason instead of using 'I.' 

It made him look cute and reminded Bai Shijue of how adorable, and shy Han Shun was when he first came to the teashop. 

Now the kid was 13 years old, and he grew up tall. Han Shun would probably be taller than him or even towering him like a giant in two more years.

[Pupa: You're considered short for an immortal, you know that, right?]

[Shut up, Pupa. I'm not short. The others are just too tall!]

"Besides, you haven't even congratulated Han Shun for the victory. Bai Gege just scolded me for beating General Fei too hard and even forced me to apologize…." 

…

"Okay then, what do you want from me then? Do you want me to buy you something? Is there something you want?"

"No…" Han Shun glanced at Bai Gege, and he slowly slid his butt to sit beside Bai Gege and then rested his head on Bai Gege's arm. He could smell the scent of night flowers when he was with Bai Gege, the scent that he wished he could smell every night.

Yet, for four years, he could only hug Bai Gege in less than 10x.

Because Bai Gege gradually forbade him from returning to the residence every week, it would slow his training down. 

Han Shun closed his eyes as he rested on Bai Gege's arm, and Bai Shijue chuckled when he saw this. Maybe Han Shun never wanted any material possession. He just wanted to be spoiled. 

"You want to be patted in the head, huh?" 

"… by Bai Gege, of course…."

"Aish, you're already 13 and still want this," Bai Shijue sighed, but he gently rubbed Han Shun's head, just like what he used to do when Han Shun was still eight years old, and he did a good job when learning how to wash dishes and serve tea. 

Han Shun enjoyed the rub in the head by Bai Gege. This was honestly the only thing he wanted for so long from Bai Gege. Not food, not some jade accessory.

He just wanted to be close with Bai Gege.

"You've done a great job, Han Shun. I know that you worked hard, and I hope you will continue to work hard, okay?" Bai Shijue said. "Because you will have to train a lot after this."

"Un, I will do anything for Bai Gege…."
