Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Xie Sichen and Yin Zhaoshu returned without delay. On the way, Xie Sichen sent a message to Wen Xianling to inquire about her recent health.

As soon as Wen Xianling received Xie Sicen's message, she immediately replied with a long string of messages.

Every word was filled with concern, but not a single one blamed Xie Sichen for not sending a single message for so many years.

Xie Sicen's initial hesitation was not without reason; Wen Xianling truly loved him.

Wen Xianling always respected the choices he made, and even if she herself was overwhelmed with longing, she would not cause trouble for Xie Sicen's decision.

[Mom, I'm doing well. I'll be back to see you soon. I hope you stay healthy.]

Xie Yuan was better informed than others, and the fact that Xie Sicen was alive the moment she left the watchtower was no longer a secret.

Over the years, Xie Yuan had long since come to terms with it.

Putting herself in Xie Sicen's shoes, she couldn't have done any better.

The initial thought behind fighting for those useless military ranks was to hold his lover in his arms and protect her.

But she left the two of them in two extremely dangerous places, where their lives were not guaranteed. In the eyes of both Xie Sicen and Yin Zhaoshu, their initial intention was that one person should strive for those useless titles and honors, while the other should live a peaceful life.

As soon as the news of Xie Sicen and Yin Zhaoshu's return to the military camp spread, Chu Yanfeng, Chu Han, and Gu Feiyang, even though they were now high-ranking officers in the army, still came to visit. No matter their rank, they would always be Xie Sicen's personal guards.

Looking at Yin Zhaoshu beside Xie Sicen, Gu Feiyang's hidden affection finally died. The person Xie Sicen was willing to risk her life to bring back was someone he was destined to have no chance with from the moment he met them.

Ultimately, Xie Sichen saved him incidentally because they were Xie Sichen's personal guards. In Xie Sichen's eyes, the three of them held the same position, and Gu Feiyang was not special at all.

Xie Sicen handed over the video recording of slaying the strange beast in the forest, provided by 0561. (0561 is also growing rapidly and feels incredibly strong now! *Proud face*)

Yin Zhaoshu and Xie Sicen were both commended and awarded, and those who were eligible for promotion were directly promoted.

Xie Sicen reached the same rank as Xie Yuan before Xie Yuan retired. The major general was promoted to general after several years of clearing out alien beasts at the border.

Because Yin Zhaoshu arrived at the border of the alien beasts much earlier, even though the new policy had long since changed, the timeline of the old policy still applied when Yin Zhaoshu arrived at the border. Their achievement in clearing out the alien beasts in the forest was a great accomplishment.

Yin Zhaoshu's rank of general obviously doesn't have as much real power as Xie Sicen's, but the ranks of those who come from the border of alien beasts are not low. Giving them ranks is basically to give them a better retirement in the future.

Xie Sicen and Yin Zhaoshu will remain nominally in the military region under Xie Yuan's command. They will still be transferred in case of major battles, but this time they will not be separated.

Xie Yuan was pleased to see that the two of them were successful. When they went back to see Wen Xianling, Xie Yuan asked Xie Sicen to bring back a lot of gifts.

Hsieh Szu-chen tactfully suggested that with shipping being so convenient now, there's really no need to buy so much every time and hoard it.

Xie Yuan ignored her. She didn't trust anyone else to deliver gifts except for those she gave herself or her son.

Xie Sichen and Yin Zhaoshu returned in the summer; they left in the summer and returned in the summer.

The intervening years were filled with life-or-death experiences, but thankfully the final outcome was good.

Wen Xianling was very happy to see the two of them at home.

When Xie Yuan returned from her vacation, Xie Sichen and Yin Zhaoshu's idea of ​​getting married finally came to fruition.

Two alphas at the rank of general can get married in secret, given the official authority. But since His Majesty values ​​Xie Sicen, this matter cannot be kept secret at all.

Xie Sichen was also having a headache. He had never handled wedding matters before, and only when he started did he realize how much work was involved.

However, working on her wedding with Yin Zhaoshu was worth it, no matter how tedious or tiring it was.

The receipt of the marriage certificate caused an uproar throughout the empire.

The comment section under the news article, in particular, exploded with discussion.

【Carrot Who Loves to Eat Rabbits】: All the high-quality alphas have been internally consumed, are we omegas supposed to be internally consumed too? Waaaaah, my ideal type, the Imperial General, is with my ideal type, and I can only offer my tearful blessings.

[Homework is impossible to finish]: Readers who smelled the scent have come here. Mom, I'm so proud of myself. I never thought that one day I would be able to ship a real strong same-sex legal couple.

[We're all paramecia]: I don't understand, but I respect and wish you well.

[The Koi Fish Blesses Us Again]: What a grand scene! They're such a perfect match! Our General Xie is so adorable, General Yin, please be gentle! [Throws pants]

[So many people!] replied to [Lucky Koi Blessing Again]: Sister, there are a lot of people, wear some pants. [Here are your pants to wear back.]

【I'm constantly on edge】: Are you sick? Alphas are wasting their genes by being with other alphas.

[Feudal remnants are really hard to kill] replied to [I break down every day]: You're the one who's sick. Life is so boring, a toad comments on humanity. What a waste of genes! Put your broken genes in a box and bury them as soon as possible, get lost and don't come back.

……

A large number of people offered their blessings online, while a large number made sarcastic or sarcastic remarks.

The grand wedding took place as scheduled.

From their first appearance to their kiss, countless handsome photos of the two went viral.

That day was a carnival for those who crave sweetness.

Xie Sichen's desire to counterattack gradually waned. Even though the two fought over position on their wedding night, Xie Sichen was indeed lacking in confidence and finally resigned herself to her fate with a few groans.

The 0561 who was used to seeing mosaics was a little puzzled. Yin Zhaoshu's blackening value had long been cleared, but his love value was always stagnant.

It's stuck at 98% and hasn't moved at all.

Where exactly did things go wrong? How did the 2% love value run away from home?

One day, Xie Sichen woke up in Yin Zhaoshu's arms and stared at his sleeping face for a long time, so engrossed that she didn't even notice that Yin Zhaoshu had woken up.

It was only when Yin Zhaoshu kissed the tip of Xie Sichen's nose that Xie Sichen regained her senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Yin Zhaoshu asked softly.

Xie Sicen chuckled, "I think I've really been tamed. Smelling your pheromones makes me feel comfortable."

The Alphas' mutual repulsion did not seem to restrain or bind them.

Yin Zhaoshu pinched Xie Sicen's waist and gently massaged it.

“Pei Pei, your existence has long transcended pheromones. I cherish everything about you.”

Xie Sichen leaned in and kissed Yin Zhaoshu's lips, "Yin Zhaoshu, I love you."

Yin Zhaoshu's eyes were filled with Xie Sicen; his affection and love were impossible to hide.

I want to give the other person the best of everything, regardless of the cost.

"Xie Sicen, I love you too. It's not because you love me that I love you, it's because of you that I love you."

During their passionate kiss, the love that had run away from home quietly reached its maximum.

0561 did not untie immediately, but told Xie Sicen afterward.

Xie Sichen gazed at the small ball. "You can't bear to part with me? I can't bear to part with you either. But even if I can't bear to part with you, I have things to do, and what I do is very meaningful. Helping others find their loved ones is a noble thing in itself."

"Host, there are still many points..."

0561 thought that Xie Sicen should make the decision, since it was all earned and saved by the host through hard work.

Xie Sicen tilted her head. "If you don't need it, can I keep it for you?"

0561 hesitated for a moment, "That's possible, but didn't the host want to give Yin Zhaoshu a gift..."

"Ashu and I will be together from now on. Thanks to you, I was able to come here. You can have those things. 0561, I will always remember you, and thank you for being with me all these years."

0561 was so moved that she wanted to cry.

"Host, I will remember you too. Host, you must always be happy~"

"of course."

As they were untying, Yin Zhaoshu brought in a fruit platter and noticed that Xie Sicen's mood suddenly seemed off. He assumed she was feeling unwell due to back pain.

Yin Zhaoshu untied Xie Sicen while massaging her waist and feeding her fruit.

0561, carrying negative emotions, returned to the system space and was immediately pulled away by Lingyi through the spatial hole.

"Boss?"

Lingyi's desk was piled high with snacks, and she generously placed small round balls on it.

"This is a treat for you."

"Waaaaah, I'll serve you like a slave from now on to repay you, boss! I swear to be loyal to you until death!"

The little round ball Kuku showed off, and the sadness of separation vanished.

Lingyi thought the little thing was quite interesting, and it was nice to have it in front of her, adding a bit of fun to her life.
