The man rarely speaks, after uttering a couple of sentences, he gracefully mounts the skinny donkey. His thin back stands straight and tall, and the donkey, weighing only a few liang, carries him with a feeling reminiscent of a sweat-soaked, golden BMW.

Sniffing his nose, Hua Jiayu looked up and asked Zhao Zhen, "What does he mean by saying 'remember me'?"

Zhao Zhen frowned, saying, "How would I know?"

Hua Jiayu's face instantly became expressionless.

Such subordinates would never receive a salary increase under their management.

Before noon, Hua Jiayu returned home, while Zhao Zhen went to receive orders from Hua Yan and told him everything that had happened.

He didn't even let small things like picking his nose go unnoticed.

Hua Yan burst into loud laughter, causing Hua Jiayu, who was just about to enter the door, to shudder.

Isn't it said that Huayan is a cold-faced handsome man made of iron? What on earth is this "大笑" (loud laughter)?

In the original text, Dou Yang was to return after ten years. Now, in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and Flower Pangyu has transformed into a magnificent beauty. With a slender figure and charming almond-shaped eyes, she is now the beloved daughter of the emperor. Even if she just takes a stroll outside, she can stack several layers of embroidered handkerchiefs on top of her head.

Du Yang, who had made great contributions in the frontier, personally infiltrated the enemy's camp and captured the leader of the barbarians in one fell swoop. After that, he pursued and annihilated the barbarians who had been causing trouble on the border for over a decade. He was bestowed the title of "Grand General of the Nation" by Emperor Huayan, and was entrusted with the command seal, leading an army of 100,000 soldiers.

Today he returned to the capital city, the streets were occupied by excited crowds, their eyes filled with anticipation as they fixed their gaze on the city gates, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the majestic presence of this renowned General who defended the nation.

It's getting closer, getting closer and closer. As Du Yang entered the city gates, the bustling streets suddenly quieted down, which felt eerie. The yellow-robed ladies who were about to throw their embroidered handkerchiefs looked dazed.

A child pointed at the donkey behind Du Yang and innocently said, "Mom, the General's donkey has booger in its nose."

Then many of the taller kids squatted down to take a look, and hey, there really was booger.

Hua Jiayu, who was hiding on the second floor watching a play, couldn't stop laughing while clutching his stomach.

The Grand General dons armor, his expression stern. If one were to overlook the donkey trailing along the ground below his feet and posterior, he would truly be so handsome that it would make people salivate.

Wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, Hua Jiayu dragged her chin and continued to watch. As he walked past her, Dou Yang suddenly looked up and their gazes met for two seconds. Then, Dou Yang kicked onto the donkey's head and leapt inside.

The donkey huffed angrily, and a booger instantly flew out of its nostril, making the soldier in front who was leading the donkey's face turn green.

Hua Jiayu quickly stepped aside and opened his arms to embrace him. He said, "Brother, I knew you would become a great general once you returned!"

Du Yang stiffened his body and his fingertips twitched. He raised his hand and embraced Hua Jiayu, catching a whiff of the intoxicating fragrance unique to this person. His expression became momentarily unnatural as he murmured softly, "Mmm."

"Let him go." Hua Jiayu pointed to the food and drinks that had already been arranged on the table, saying, "General Rong, who has returned in glory, why not celebrate?"

Dou Yang thought for a moment but shook his head, saying, "I will report back to the palace before making any decisions."

Hua Jiayu sighed and said, "Fine."

His peach-colored eyes were filled with disappointment, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke, "Why don't you come to the palace with the Prince of Six and me? After reporting back, you can follow me home for a celebration."

Being able to develop a good relationship with the protagonist is something Hua Jiayu has been longing for. He nodded and said, "Okay."

Hua Jiayu walked in front, with Dou Yang following behind.

The greedy man gazed at the man in the green robe ahead with longing. In just ten years, the chubby little child from back then had grown even more charming. After countless days and nights, the initial gratitude had fermented into an uncontrollable desire to possess him. He had a portrait of him, but the enchanting presence of the real person continued to captivate his heart.

He was the only trace of warmth in his world.

Gong Nei Hua Yan praised Dou Yang for a while, and under the constant hinting from Hua Jiayu, he sent the person away.

Du Yang led Hua Jiayu back to the Du Mansion. The housekeeper approached with a smile, seemingly wanting to say something, but Du Yang gave him a cold look and walked away.

Hua Jiayu sat inside the inner room, while Dou Yang held a jar of wine outside. He took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured the white powder inside into the wine, then shook it.
