The Happy Yun Cheng

After cleaning up the highway from Lingjiang City to the provincial capital in five days and completing the task of collecting seeds without paying a big price, both the military and the squad that participated in the task won unanimous praise and respect from the base. The news of their return spread through the base the moment they arrived at the gate, and Zhaoyang Community also received the news very soon.

"They're back, Sis. Bro and Hanhan are back."

At the entrance of Yun Che's villa, Yun Cheng, who was specially wearing black colored contact lenses, took Yun Yao's hand and jumped excitedly like a child when he saw the minibus approaching from a distance. Yun Yao, Gu Mingxuan and Wang Suhua laughed as they waited together at the door. Yun Cheng was really cute—his IQ was only slightly higher than that of Chenchen and hence couldn't be called an adult, but he was more sensible than a normal child and loved to keep himself clean. He would bathe and change his clothes whenever he got a little dirty, and he basically didn't need Yun Yao to take care of him.

"Yes, they're back, stop jumping."

Yun Yao held her little brother's hand dotingly, not knowing what to do with him. Cheng had been unhappy since Che and the rest left a few days ago, and he didn't smile at all until Chenchen came back in the morning. For the last few days, he had been sitting on a small stool at the door, looking around for a few hours each time. Many people in Zhaoyang got to know him, and some elders even asked if he had a girlfriend, which left him dumbfounded. Fortunately, he had listened to Ye Han and Yun Che and obediently put on colored contact lenses every day. Therefore, other than him having fairer skin and reddish lips, no one could tell that he was a zombie.

"Hehe!"

Yun Cheng smiled innocently, grinning and showing two neat rows of teeth. When the minibus stopped in front of them, Yun Cheng let go of his sister's hand and ran over even before the door opened.

"Hanhan!"

Seeing Leng Yehan who was the first to get off the bus, Yun Cheng opened his arms and hugged him happily. The surprised Leng Yehan was dumbstruck for a moment before reaching out to hug him, "I miss you, Cheng…"

With his head buried in his white and slender neck, Leng Yehan greedily inhaled the air around him. He hadn't felt this way previously, but he now missed him so much that his body seemed to be in pain even though he had only been away for just five days.

"Oh…that's itchy…let go of me first, Hanhan."

After taking the heart of trees, Yun Cheng didn't experience any changes other than having his peripheral nerves regain their sensory function, such that he could feel everything now. As a result, he couldn't stand the hot breath on his sensitive neck. As Yun Cheng smiled and struggled to free himself from Leng Yehan's arms, his hands were still holding the latter's arms, and his smile was filled with pure happiness.

"Hey that's enough, the two of you. Please spare a thought for the singles!"

Zhou Zeyu popped his head out of the window. Although he sounded like he was complaining, the smile on his face showed otherwise. Everyone was very happy to see Yun Cheng and Leng Yehan in love, because they knew how difficult it was for them to be together.

Leng Yehan's face turned expressionless immediately after casting a glance at him, and Zhou Zeyu exploded right away, "Geez, Yehan, do you have to do this?"

He was all soft and gentle in front of Yun Cheng but cold and unfeeling in front of them. What a big difference!

Unfortunately, Leng Yehan didn't bother about him at all. Lu Haixuan and the rest, including the newly joined Meng brothers, didn't want to look for trouble like he did. Not only did they not side with him, they even moved away from him in unison.

"Zeyu!"

It was Yun Cheng who called out to him sweetly in the end, saving him from embarrassment.

"You're the most loveable, Cheng. Here, I got you lots of delicious stuff this time."

Zhou Zeyu let out a deep sigh and got out of the bus before taking off his backpack and giving it to Yun Cheng. Needless to say, his so-called delicious stuff had to be crystal nuclei. After opening the backpack and seeing that there were several of his favorite level-3 crystal nuclei inside, Yun Cheng smiled happily, "Thank you, Zeyu."

"Haha…"

Seeing Leng Yehan casting a warning look over, Zhou Zeyu recalled something and smiled awkwardly before quietly walking to one side. The last time he gave Yun Cheng a level-3 crystal nucleus, Yun Cheng had rushed over and almost kissed him, but that was a long time ago and he didn't really kiss him.

"Feifei!"

"Haixuan!"

When Zhan Yafei and Lu Haixuan got off the bus, Yun Yao, Wang Suhua, Lu's mother and Chen all went forward to greet them. Gu Mingxuan was calmer in comparison. Seeing his brothers returning safely, he merely smiled and bumped fists with them without talking much.

"Who are they?"

Yun Yao asked when she saw Meng Gang getting out of the bus last holding his brother's arm.

"They are Meng Gang and Meng Xu, new members of the Peak Squad. Sis Yao, Meng Xu's eyes were injured by the mutant trees, and his legs were also injured. Let's talk inside."

After a brief introduction was done, Zhan Yafei turned to help Meng Gang by holding Meng Xu's other arm. Yun Yao also walked over, "Welcome to the squad. My name is Yun Yao, Yun Che's sister. Go in and take a rest, hot food will be ready soon."

"Huh? Oh, thank you."

The bearded Meng Gang wasn't used to such hospitality. His tall body stiffened, and he felt a little uneasy. Seeing this, Gu Mingxuan came forward and stood next to Yun Yao calmly, looking as though he was her guardian, "Hello, I am Gu Mingxuan, Zhaoyang's deputy captain."

"Hello."

After looking at the two of them, Meng Gang's anxiety disappeared right away, but he didn't know that a huge amount of memories had flooded into Gu Mingxuan's brain when he held the latter's hand. Gu Mingxuan, who was already used to this, didn't show any unusual behavior, and he quenched the superfunction energy when he withdrew his hand.

"Let's go inside."

After turning around and smiling softly at Yun Yao, Gu Mingxuan took them into Yun Che's house as though it was his own house. No one from the squad noticed the difference, but Yu Wenqing and his other two companions exchanged glances and thought that their military adviser had gotten jealous a moment ago.

"What's wrong?"

Leng Yehan, who was walking behind everyone, asked when he saw Yun Cheng not moving.

"Brother…"

Yun Cheng pouted and looked upset after he turned and saw the empty minibus. Yun Yao, who was walking in front, had heard from Gu Mingxuan that Xing Feng and the rest were going to the military department to unload the goods. She was about to walk over and explain to her little brother when Gu Mingxuan stopped her and motioned her to look again, and she saw that Leng Yehan had already embraced Yun Cheng tenderly.

"…I'm still not used to my beloved brother having another person doting on him."

Yun Yao mumbled subconsciously, and she wasn't only referring to Yun Cheng, but also Yun Che. She had thought about it the last few days and realized that she wasn't really against Yun Che being together with Xing Feng. It was without a doubt that Xing Feng was the most suitable person for Yun Che in terms of character and ability, but she still felt a little awkward and upset, as though she had been robbed of something precious that she had treasured for years.

"You will have someone who dotes on you too."

Gu Mingxuan turned and looked straight at her after hearing what she said. Yun Yao was a very attractive woman. The more they spent time together, the more he found her a rarity and wanted to make her his. However, he also knew that Yun Yao hadn't really gotten over her previous marriage, and forcing her now would only make her run away. Therefore, he didn't want to rush things. As long as he waited patiently and slowly got into her world, they would be together the day when she finally made a clean break with that man.

"What are you talking about?"

Yun Yao wasn't dumb—how would she not know that Gu Mingxuan had feelings for her? However, she didn't plan to go into another relationship now and could only keep avoiding it.

"What are you thinking about? What I meant was that Bro Che and Cheng will also dote on you. There's also Chenchen. He will definitely dote on his mother when he grows up."

Gu Mingxuan was one smart guy. He would put some pressure on Yun Yao to make her aware of his feelings, but would also find excuses to resolve the awkwardness and make the atmosphere natural and relaxing. In this way, Yun Yao wouldn't be able to run away even if she wanted to.

"Sis Yao, what are you two chatting about?"

Just when Yun Yao didn't know how to respond, Zhan Yafei shouted out just before going into the house, so Yun Yao quickly ran over, "Coming."

Seeing her running away, Gu Mingxuan smiled happily. Yu Wenqing and Shen Rui came forward to him, "Congrats, Sis Yao has wavered."

He stood a chance as long as she wasn't totally indifferent.

"It's too early to say that, let's get inside."

Gu Mingxuan stopped smiling and moved forward while Yu Wenqing, Shen Rui and Yang Huai'en looked at each other and laughed. It was beginning to feel more like spring.

"Yun Che and Captain Xing went to the military headquarters to unload the goods. They will be back soon, don't worry."

Outside the gate, Leng Yehan hugged Yun Cheng and explained to him softly. He had long accepted the fact that his lover's brother would always be the most important person to him.

"But… I miss my brother."

Yun Cheng was still very unhappy. He hadn't seen his brother for several days, which was a first since he regained consciousness.

"Haha… Yun Che missed you too. He collected many level-3 crystal nuclei for you and said that he wanted to give them to his favorite little brother. Be good, let's go inside and wait, he will be back soon."

Pinching his nose in a doting manner, Leng Yehan neither blushed nor looked nervous after cooking up a story, since Yun Che had planned to give the crystal nuclei to him anyway.

"Really?"

Yun Cheng's face suddenly lit up, and he looked up at Leng Yehan in anticipation. Leng Yehan nodded with affirmation, "Yes, when have I ever lied to you?"

"Yeah, you're the best, Hanhan. You're my favorite."

The happy Yun Cheng threw himself at him and planted a kiss on his face. Overwhelmed by his sweet breath, Leng Yehan hugged him and took in a few deep breaths to stop himself from biting his lips. It was several minutes later when the two of them went inside the house.

"Hey? Where's Jiang Shang and Xingchen? Did they go to the military headquarters with Che?"

Yun Yao asked Zhan Yafei, who volunteered to help, while cutting vegetables in the kitchen. Wang Suhua and Lu's mother were also helping with the cooking. They had already eaten and were now preparing food for Leng Yehan and the rest.

"Haha… the two of them, it's a tragedy."

Zhan Yafei couldn't help but laugh when she thought of them. Yun Yao took a glance at her doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

Her reaction didn't look like something bad had happened to them. Did some dumbfounding incident happen again?

"It's all because of Heiyu. Xingchen got a Wolf King as a war beast this time. The moment we returned to the community, Heiyu ordered the Wolf King to greet everyone. Xingchen got worried and followed them, and it goes without saying that Jiang Shang also went with his senior. Given Heiyu's temperament, it would be surprising if nothing tragic happens to them."

"Haha…"

After hearing what she said, Yun Yao, Wang Suhua and Lu's mother all chuckled, for Heiyu was indeed capable of doing everything that one could imagine.
