Chapter 3

After looking at the interesting view outside for so long, Yan Mao calmed down from his excitement and thought of buying something for Uncle Lu since he was so nice to him.

When he got off, the suspension car flew off on its own to the parking space of the island since suspension cars are forbidden here. And when he arrived at the Sky Island Shopping Center, he can't help but look around, amused, he went to the edge of the island—which has a metal fence—and looked at the ground below. How high is this island? Is it as high as the Eifel Tower of Paris, France? He could barely see things below. He opened his quantum computer and looked into it.

On the side where Yan Mao is, a few meters away from him, two people also arrived and got off a suspension car.

The first one, who got off, didn't wait for the latter and walked straight in the shopping center in casual black clothes. He gives off a mysterious and cool aura with just the way he walks. Every person he passed by stopped on their track whenever they noticed him but the person attracting so much attention isn't interested at all. You could even hear whispers here and there. He was even wearing a cold expression and his eyes, despite the color being green, gave off a dark contrast.

"Isn't that General Qin Yohan?"

"Aack—General Qin looks so handsome as always!"

"If only he wasn't looking like someone who wants to kill, I would like to ask for his autograph…"

"I want a photo with him."

"I want a baby with him."

And all other hilarious remarks.

The person with Qin Yohan was able to catch up but decided to walk from behind and observe a little. Seeing all the attention the General is garnering, he can't help but tease a little.

"General Qin Yohan, are you that excited to meet your blind date?" He said in a teasing smile when he caught up to the person he called General Qin Yohan.

Qin Yohan smirked at him, "Officer Wei Yi, it's been a while since the last time you wished for death. I am also becoming bored of this peaceful planet; let's have a spar when we get back."

"General! Didn't you consent to this blind date? You can't do this to me!"Wei Yi cried in his heart when he heard the General's words. While everyone was falling for the General's smile, Wei Yi felt dying. Can't people see that was a demon's smile!?

Why was he blamed for this when it was the General who agreed to this blind date? Well, maybe he was also at fault for mixing this information along with the other ones when he reported to the General while the latter was clearly busy with more paper works and wasn't focusing much on what he was saying. Eventhen, isn't it the Genera's fault for not paying attention?

It seems this island was much higher than the Eifel Tower! Yan Mao thought as he closed his quantum computer. After taking some photos of the view above and below, he decided to go to get some food first, he feels very hungry. It seems he didn't eat anything yesterday since he was passed out the entire time.

He went inside the shopping center which looks like a small city with all the buildings and all the people walking by, as well as hovercrafts here and there. He walked around looking at the places around, the entrance part are mostly selling souvenirs and things like that. He looked into it and the restaurants or food stalls are still a bit far. Well, he doesn't mind walking since the point of this stroll is to go sightseeing. He was also taking pictures here and there with a serious face but hisbright eyes cannot hide his excitement.

After walking for thirty minutes straight, he got tired of and his legs and feet felt sore. He sat on a bench around for some minutes. This body is too weak, he can't even walk that much. Thinking of how much he was locked up before with no way to exercise, whatever can he do? He has to put exercise as one of his priorities, too. After a while, he called for a hovercraft instead, because if he kept walking in his condition, good luck to eating.

Once Yan Mao got on the hovercraft, a smiling woman on the driver seat—who looks like someone in his 30s—greeted him, "Good morning, young sir. Is this your first time inthe island?"

The woman looked around outside, wondering if the boy came with an adult and waiting for them but no one is coming. He's alone? Who leaves a kid alone on their own? Well, whatever. She will just report it on the headquarters, if anyone lost a child. "…Good morning. It is my first time," Yan Mao answered in a flat tone. He's not good with strangers.

Oh, so it seems this young boy really came here alone. The woman realized when she heard his words. If Yan Mao could hear her thoughts, he would surely get gloomy for being treated like a kid.

"I could see that. I am one of the island's guides that tours people around who wasn't sure where to go, for a price, especially because the island is too big and there's many interesting places to see. Are you interested?"

Oh, that's why. He was wondering why a human is driving the hovercraft since he read that it was unnecessary for a human to operate a vehicle because it's safer to activate auto piloting. I see, it was for guiding tourists. Well, business is business even in an alternate world. However, he doesn't need one right now.

"Thank you for the offer but I planned to stroll around alone today. Maybe I'll consider it next time."

"I understand. Then, may I know where this young sir wants to go?"

"Ah, yes. Please, take me to the part of the island where the foods are. Anywhere is fine."

"I see. As a free service, can I recommend a place? It is called Delish Scene. The food's quality is good, the staffs are amiable, and the view at the rooftop is one of the best I've seen here so far. In addition, it's in a remote part of the island so only a few knows of it yet since the time it was opened few years back. Seeing the time, it's the best time to go and once you see it, I'm sure you'll love it, too."

"Okay, let's go there." Seeing how the woman was promoting that place so much, he can't help but agree. He doesn't have any idea where to eat anyway. Moreover, hearing all those words made him curious.

After ten minutes of ride, he was greeted warmly by a waiter when he arrived at Delish Scene and said, "Sir, you came in a good time. There is still a vacant table at the rooftop, if you went a little later, you won't get to see the nice view upstairs.Are you with your parents, sir?"

Yan Mao went stiff when he heard that question. He wants to cry for looking like a kid. "No, I came alone."

"Oh, I see. Then, please follow me." The waiter led him up and the table he got wasn't the best spot but the mountain view you could see from where he is was enough to brighten up his eyes despite his serious face. He sat down, first, and screen with pictures of foods in it pop up in front of him. He still get a little shocked whenever a screen pops up, needs to get used to this soon. "Please, take your time choosing; just ring us up whenever you need anything."

"Thank you." The waiter left with a slight bow after he said that. There's a lot of food to choose. There's even a page number at the bottom. How many pages does this menu have?

......….

"We've been here for forty minutes now but your blind date isn't coming at all." Wei Yi could feel the murderous aura exuding from the General but what could he do; he doesn't know how to contact the other person. He didn't dare invade that kind of information since that woman is not from an ordinary family.

"Remind me to extend our spar for a few more hours after this." Qin Yohan sipped from his tea after saying that when he heard a kid says a word of enthusiasm under his breath passing by with a waiter coming from behind him. However, no one else went after the boy. Was he alone?

Wei Yi cried another unshed tears at Qin Yohan's words. Why is it his fault again? He was also here waiting like an idiot, General! However, he can't say any of that unless he really wants to die! After a few seconds, he noticed where the General is looking and turned his body back to check it as well. At another table a little far from them, a good-looking boy who looks like twelve or thirteen was seriously looking at the menu as if his life depended on it. It was Yan Mao.

Wei Yi turned back to Qin Yohan, "General Qin, even if he was cute by how serious he is when looking at the menu, he is still a minor, you know."

Qin Yohan retracted his gaze and said, "Don't be ridiculous. I was only wondering why a kid like him is alone."

Wei Yi turned to the boy again, "He's alone? What are his parents' doing leaving him alone like this? Sure, the security around this place is good but seeing how cute he is, even I would want to abduct him." He felt shivers run down his back and when looked at Qin Yohan, he was being glared at.

Qin Yohan gave a dangerous smile, "If you want to spend the rest of your life in prison that much, you only need to tell me, no need to do such atrocity. I will send you there even without a reason."

Wei Yi made a dry laugh, "Don't be so serious, merciful General Qin Yohan. I was only kidding."

Qin Yohan snorted at the words.They spent another thirty minutes waiting for that so-called blind date, and while waiting they also saw how the waiter came and leave for countless of times bringing food and collecting plates for Yan Mao.

"Seriously, is his stomach made of steel?" Wei Yi asked in amazement.

"The kid is still growing," Qin Yohan glanced at Yan Mao when the latter turned his way with camera on his quantum computer. It seems he was taking pictures of the view. He saw how the boy squint his eyes on the screen and then look at Qin Yohan. After that, the boy closed his quantum computer, stood up andwent to him right at his side with innocent eyes. What is this boy doing? "What do you want?" He said to the boy with a cold look.

Wei Yi almost slapped his forehead. General, what are you doing giving a cute kid with that cold eyes of yours!? Moreover, speaking of this kid, he is sure brave going so close despite of the dangerous aura Qin Yohan was giving off since earlier. He was not saying this as a metaphor or anything but the General has a very high spiritual strength so whenever he is in a bad mood, it leaks off like daggers ready to kill.

.............

At first, when the first food arrived, he hesitated, remembering how he was always vomiting the food he ate back on Earth. Realizing that fact, it seems he died that way before coming here. He collapsed and died right away. Nothing can do about it anymore. He decided to focus on the delicious looking food in front of him. I'll taste it at first, if he can't take it even here, that would really makes him sad.

However, nothing happened. Actually, it tasted so good he forgot his worries and just chowed down food after food. He only stopped when he felt that he was so full. No one can blame him, for him it's been months since the last time he tasted food without vomiting. He decided to take photos of the mountain for a while when he turned and saw someone very familiar on the camera screen.

Isn't this General Qin Yohan? However, something is off, he looked up and saw the same manlooking straight at him. He decided to get near and check clearly.

He was looking at his face, tilting his head left and right with a serious face when the other person spoke and ask with a serious face, "What do you want?"

Yan Mao tilted his head yet again,"Sorry, you look like someone I knowbut… something seems to be off…Hmm…" Unconsciously, he went nearer, cupped the man's face, and looked closer. "…You look like my half-brother's lover in the future."

Qin Yohan had a black face when he heard that while closely looking at Yan Mao's serious but cute face.

Wei Yi, on the other hand, tried his best not to laugh. This is the first time he heard such pick up line. This kid is good! Pfft.
