ABLO Chapter 48

When Lu Yang returned, he saw Ruan Mian wearing his coat, sitting there obediently waiting for him, and he couldn’t help but smile. The arctic wolf’s territorial sense was greatly satisfied.

Just as he smiled, he looked up, and his smile froze on his face, his mouth drooping down.

Liu Minghu and the others had stopped training at some point and had gathered around Ruan Mian, talking non-stop, making Ruan Mian smile.

The most hateful thing was that Liu Minghu was holding up his bruised face and asking Ruan Mian to apply medicine to him.

Ruan Mian held a cotton swab, dipped in disinfectant, and was disinfecting Liu Minghu. Liu Minghu, despite being a big man, would still cry out in pain whenever the swab touched his wound, occasionally letting out an ‘ouch.’ To Lu Yang’s ears, Liu Minghu’s cries sounded unusually cheerful, causing Lu Yang’s anger to rise uncontrollably.

Lu Yang walked over with a gloomy face and kicked Liu Minghu, “Who told you to stop? Why are you standing here if you don’t want to continue training?”

Liu Minghu looked up with a pitiful expression, pointing to the bruise on his face and said, “Boss, do you think I’m still fit for training like this? We’ve been sparring for so long, and everyone is exhausted. We should take a good rest. Since sister-in-law rarely visits, let us slack off a bit today, chat with him, and get to know him better.”

Everyone agreed and laid on the ground, too tired to get up.

Chen Xiaoer looked at Ruan Mian and said eagerly, “Sister-in-law, please beg for us.”

“Yes, sister-in-law, please help us persuade boss.”

“Sister-in-law, I’m really tired; my calves hurt a lot; if we keep sparring, I won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”

…

Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment holding the cotton swab and was flustered by so many people looking at him at the same time.

Seeing that everyone was indeed tired, Lu Yang didn’t say anything more. His training always emphasized efficiency, focusing on effectiveness and quality rather than just the duration of the training. Now, hearing everyone coaxing Ruan Mian to help, he couldn’t help but smile and teasingly look at Ruan Mian, waiting for him to speak.

Ruan Mian looked up at Lu Yang and saw that he not only did not help him but also kept looking at him with a smile. He couldn’t help but puffed his lips, hesitated for a while, and said softly with a slightly red cheek: “Lu Yang, let everyone rest for a while.”

“Okay!” Lu Yang couldn’t help smiling and stopped teasing Ruan Mian. He readily agreed and looked at everyone and said: “Since your sister-in-law has spoken, I will forgive you this time, but it won’t happen again.”

Everyone immediately cheered and clamored, and Lu Yang sat down next to Ruan Mian in a good mood, enjoying the feeling that everyone knew that Ruan Mian was a special existence to him.

Ruan Mian lowered his head in embarrassment amid the cheers and continued to apply medicine to Liu Minghu.

Lu Yang frowned and looked at Liu Minghu, impatiently and coldly said: “Can’t you apply medicine yourself? Take the medicine and go quickly, Chen Xiaoer, you apply medicine to him.”

Chen Xiaoer, afraid that the Major General would go back on his word and not let them rest, didn’t dare to provoke him, quickly agreed, and went over to get disinfectant and cotton swabs.

Liu Minghu reluctantly moved aside, muttering in dissatisfaction, “Boss, just let sister-in-law finish it for me. Chen Xiaoer is always very rough when applying medicine. Sister-in-law is a doctor, professional and meticulous. I want sister-in-law to apply medicine for me the most.”

Lu Yang rolled his eyes, “Mian Mian doesn’t have time; he still has to apply medicine for me.”

Liu Minghu opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at him all over, and asked puzzledly: “Boss, where are you injured? I don’t see any injuries on your body?”

Lu Yang raised the back of his hand, revealing the scratch on it, blew it gently, glared at Liu Minghu, and asked: “Can’t you see such a big wound? It’s hurting me to death.”

Liu Minghu: “…” Boss, if you didn’t mention it, I really wouldn’t have noticed your ‘huge’ wound.

Ruan Mian immediately became anxious when he heard that Lu Yang’s wound hurt. He pulled Lu Yang down and gently disinfected him with a cotton swab. His movements were a hundred times gentler than when he applied medicine to Liu Minghu just now.

He looked at Lu Yang’s hand and asked in a low voice: “Did it get wet when you were taking a shower just now? Does it hurt a lot?”

Lu Yang gently hummed, hissed, and took two breaths of cold air, and said weakly: “It hurts a lot… rub it for me.”

Liu Minghu: “…” Are you still my Major General who can keep calm even when shot and make the enemy’s head bleed with his bare hands!?

You, as an Alpha, how can you become so delicate in front of your wife? Shouldn’t you be like other Alphas, acting tough, strong, and impressive in front of your wife? Why is your method different from other Alphas?

Ruan Mian didn’t dare touch Lu Yang’s wound directly, so he gently massaged the area around it. Lu Yang’s hand was still fair and smooth, but there were a few calluses on his palm, making it thicker and stronger.

As Ruan Mian disinfected the wound with a cotton swab, he leaned in and gently blew on it.

Lu Yang lowered his eyes and looked at Ruan Mian. Ruan Mian’s face was still round, and when he lowered his head, he could see the white and tender cheeks. His soft breath hit the back of Lu Yang’s hand, just like when he was a child, warm and like a spring breeze.

Liu Minghu sat next to him and felt a little envious. He couldn’t help staring at the two of them for a while… He also wanted a childhood sweetheart Omega!

Chen Xiaoer saw that he didn’t move for a long time, and he clumsily treated his wound with a cotton swab. He accidentally pressed his wound. He screamed like a pig and didn’t care about looking at Lu Yang and Ruan Mian anymore.

Pain makes people sober; Omegas are rare!

When couples disinfect and apply medicine to each other, it’s romantic. But for him, a lonely single man, having a comrade disinfect and apply medicine is torture, especially when it’s done while being subjected to public displays of affection.

Liu Minghu looked at his brothers lying on the ground around him, feeling lonely and cold. All he could do was grind his teeth and endure the pain.

He felt that getting beaten up didn’t hurt as much as this. Chen Xiaoer either pressed on his wound or accidentally stumbled, causing him to fall to the ground. After a series of inhumane torments from Chen Xiaoer, his wound was finally treated.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Lu Yang and Ruan Mian. As a result, he found that these two people were dawdling, and such a small wound had not been treated yet.

Sister-in-law was obviously careful enough, but the boss still cried “ouch”, always asking sister-in-law to move slower.

Liu Minghu finally understood that the boss just wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to his wife so that he would only pay attention to him and not notice other people.

He curled his lips speechlessly. Single dogs don’t want to see them show affection.

He couldn’t stand the boss bullying others like this and couldn’t help wanting to throw a basin of cold water on him.

“Boss, does it hurt so much? Aren’t you exaggerating?”

“Of course it hurts.” Lu Yang raised his head. He had been lowering his head just now, so no one noticed there was a pool of tears in his eyes, and he looked tearful.

Liu Minghu was startled and said in astonishment: “No way? Boss, you actually cried because of the pain?”

He suspected that their sister-in-law had hidden strength; otherwise, why could he make their boss cry even though his movements looked so gentle?

Lu Yang’s vision seemed a little blurry, and he raised his hand to rub his eyes.

The soldiers who were resting on the ground all sat up, and everyone looked at Lu Yang in astonishment.

The image of their Major General was shaky in their hearts, and it was only one step away from collapse.

A real man should shed blood but not tears! Major General, this is what you told us at the beginning!

Seeing everyone’s inquiring eyes, Ruan Mian couldn’t help but frown and stood in front of Lu Yang to prevent everyone from seeing the tears in his eyes.

Ruan Mian took out a tissue, wiped Lu Yang’s tears in a hurry, turned around, and explained: “These are wind-induced tears!”

Liu Minghu then remembered that their boss did have this problem. When the wind was strong, his eyes would shed tears after being blown by the wind for a long time. Today’s wind was indeed a bit strong, and it was normal for the boss to shed wind-induced tears.

“That’s good.” He patted his chest with lingering fear. If the boss really cried in pain, then he would really be scared to tears.

Seeing Ruan Mian protecting him like before, Lu Yang felt comfortable all over. He was not ashamed of being weak but proud of being weak.

He leaned weakly against Ruan Mian’s shoulder, gently rubbing his shoulder. “Mian Mian, I’m feeling a bit dizzy from the pain. The wind keeps blowing into my eyes, making them constantly want to tear up. They’re dry and gritty. I’m really uncomfortable.”

Liu Minghu: “…” Boss, please straighten your tongue before speaking.

Ruan Mian heard what Lu Yang said and quickly reached out to stroke his back, coaxing him softly, “Hold on a little longer. After I pack my things into the bag, we will go back immediately. After we go back, I will use a steam eye mask to fumigate your eyes. You will feel much more comfortable then.”

Liu Minghu: “…” Sister-in-law, I understand that the boss is like this in front of you, purely because you spoil him.

Lu Yang saw that the group of people had not left yet and were still surrounding them. He could not help but frown, thinking that these brothers were very annoying.

He leaned weakly against Ruan Mian’s shoulder, watching as Liu Minghu’s thin lips parted and mercilessly uttered the word ‘scram.’

Liu Minghu stood up and deliberately squatted, “Yes, I will take my leave.”

Lu Yang waved his hand casually; there was no brother in front of his wife.

Everyone stood up reluctantly and said in unison: “Big brother, goodbye! Sister-in-law, goodbye!”

Ruan Mian stared with wide eyes. If it weren’t for their military uniforms, he might have thought that Lu Yang had joined a gang over the years. The way they called him ‘big brother’ and ‘sister-in-law’ was truly imposing.

After everyone shouted in unison, Liu Minghu led a group of people to the outside of the training ground in a hurry. When he walked to the door, he couldn’t help but look back.

Ruan Mian took out a candy from nowhere and was unwrapping it. After unwrapping the candy, he handed it to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang leaned weakly on Ruan Mian. He didn’t reach out to take the candy. He said something, and Ruan Mian personally fed the candy into his mouth.

Liu Minghu couldn’t bear to watch any longer and silently retracted his gaze: “…” The relationship between his big brother and his sister-in-law was beyond his imagination.

He never expected that his big brother and his sister-in-law would be like this when they were together.

His admiration for the boss over the years was ultimately misplaced. Sigh!
