411: World 7: Please Put Down The Gun (5)

World 7: Please Put Down The Gun (5)

"Oh? That looks delicious."

Snow's body stiffened after the playful voice rang, although he just did it for the sake of appearance since it would have been suspicious if he didn't show any reaction after being caught off guard.

"Hey, why don't you share some for me too? Don't worry, I'll pay you for it."

When the calm footsteps resound out, Snow's eyes finally flicker to the young man dressed in military clothing walking in his direction, and instead of the rigorous and tidy appearance he should have because of his status, the way he was dressed was rather sloppy.

Even he was surprised about being a bit distracted by the looming beautiful collarbone being shown out in the open. And when he saw the man androgynous appearnace, which was tempting and seductive at the same time, well, it was quite easy to guess the man identity.

The infamous General of Qiping City.

Even he heard about the person who had the entire military power in his hand, ruling the Qiping City for the past few years now. If he were to calculate the time, this person is twenty six this year.

But the most important reason why Snow, aside from showing a defensive and alert appearance, befitting for a beggar wary of a person's sudden appearance, especially someone with higher status is…

My love is that you??? 

Even he didn't ignore the way the man's eyes flickered to the small black bell loop around his wrist, which he changed from where it was in his neck in order to make it ring once in a while when he is busy cooking dinner.

Besides, for the General to appear in such a humble place during this time, shouldn't be a mere coincidence.

You sure have turned out an evildoer in this world my love!

"Why aren't you answering me? Oh, I see! I got that look a lot after they saw my appearance."

Aren't you a narcissist? Although, you look really good… tempting good…

"Well, I'll be nice this time since you are making delicious food. Besides, I'm surprised how I don't feel disgusted with how you look at me. Aren't you lucky? I'm in a good mood today."

Yeah, I'm so lucky you aren't pointing your gun at me right now. I heard about your certain reputation. 

Snow wasn't even surprised at what kind of a person his lover is, no matter what world and identity his lover has, it doesn't change the ruthlessness inside him. So being a whimsical and murderous General of the Qiping City isn't a surprise at all.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? You don't want to share your food with me, do you?"

… Oh, there is the gun… so, My love, you are threatening my life for food, huh.

Snow is honestly speechless for that reason to being pointed at by a gun by his lover. Well, they aren't together yet and just based on the lack of love in the man's eyes and the coldness hidden underneath the playfulness.

Well, it's quite easy to understand that they won't be lovey-dovey as quickly as in the previous world.

Interesting…

He was beginning to understand a certain condition when his lover fell for him. He was quite sure the man heard the tinkle of the bell, and it took quite a while for the man to hear it. After all, he had been ringing it after he returned to Qiping City.

It's similar to the black jade bracelet too. The more damaged and cracked it was when his lover is wearing it for the first time, the more it showed that there is something wrong with his lover. At least, it wasn't the same as love at first sight like the first mission world.

Well, he likes this better though. More challenging, the more he can continue to test and learn about how his lover reacted toward him when he wasn't in love or infatuated.

For now though… 

Although Snow's entire body is alert, however, there is no fear in his eyes despite being pointed with a gun, only a calculative look on how to survive. After all, some beggars can be smart and sly, learning to survive after struggling at their lowest point in life.

  "Oh, don't be afraid. I'm just joking."

"..."

What to do? I'm sure my Love is mentally ill…

'Oh did Daddy finally appear?'

'Yeah, don't come back quickly. Don't worry, I will save the roasted chestnuts for you.'

'Ohhh ok and Flake understands! I will go investigate more~'

"I'm not afraid. As long as you pay and don't mind the food I made, then I'll give you some."

Snow's chin lifted up, showing he wasn't afraid although he only received a playful raise of eyebrows from the man before snorting and then carelessly sitting on the ground with a look of 'I want to eat' on his face.

Well… then…

Snow doesn't mind playing along with his playful and whimsical lover. If it weren't for the lack of murderous intention when the gun was pointed, he wouldn't be so easy to get along with. After all, the client also affected his personality.

Whoever is wrong and want to harm his life would definitely be dealt with.

… Huh… I wonder if my love instinctively knew it.

Thus, that is the start of Snow association with the feared and murderous General of the Qiping City. Although he found the man simply ridiculous and wanted to beat him up sometimes. After all, the man is quite rich, but a cheapskate too.

"Aren't you going to heaven? There is no way I'll pay more money when the ingredients weren't that expensive in the first place."

Yeah, Snow didn't know his lover could get annoying like that. But, he also felt the man was interesting and adorable, which made him doubt sometimes how he sees his lover.

So yeah, after that day, Snow got a whimsical General dropping for dinner once in a while.

"... Aren't you too young to have a son?"

Then, there is a time when the man finally met Flake, and Snow had introduced Flake as his son. He was quite sure that he detected a split second of killing intent after he finished his introduction before it disappeared as soon as he laid his eyes on Flake, who was acting cute for his Daddy.

"You should take care of yourself more before worrying about others."

Then, the man quickly returned to normal, asking for the food since he is a busy person and needed to go meet someone in an hour. Of course, Snow inwardly raises his eyebrow after the man sometimes brings snacks and sweets, which ended up being eaten by Flake.

It was rather sweet of him.

Honestly, even if there is no affection he could detect and perceive from the man, it is quite obvious how his lover is far nicer and abnormal in his attitude toward them.

Of course, Snow having an association with the General had gotten him some unwarranted attention.

First, it was from a beautiful and charming young lady, looking at him like he was her rival in love before it turned derisive after clearly seeing his appearance.

"... You are the one he had been meeting all this time?"

My Love, no matter which world, there are always bees and flies around you.

So, after he met his lover again, he calmly and naturally praised him, and carefully told him that his fiance had appeared thinking he got a lover behind her back. Of course, Snow appeared clueless and spoke half-truth about the 'fiance' knowing that the young lady didn't mention that word at all but only had an idea deep down.

Then, it was that day he honestly saw what caused the population to fear and respect their General. He later learned from the information spreading around about how a certain family was dealt with by his lover.

Honestly, even if Snow didn't tattle on the young woman's actions and words, eyeing and thinking that the General already belongs to her is already asking for death.

Of course, there are various people who secretly came to him too, one is foolish enough to tell him to poison his lover, and he would be greatly rewarded when he completed the task.

So, Snow nodded his head and showed greed in his eyes, only to turn around and once again tattle to the General about someone wanting to use his food to poison him.

Then Snow was asked about why he didn't do it with a rather bloodthirsty grin on the man's face, in which he just blinked his eyes and calmly gave his answer while serving the General on his humble abode.

Meaning under the bridge where the two of them first met.

"I'm not stupid."0

It seemed Snow's act of revealing such a situation and not betraying him had scored a few positive points in his lover. However, he was a bit surprised when he suddenly received an offer from the General.

After all, despite how the two of them are still getting along, it was just that Snow is good at reading the mood and handling the unpredictable attitude of his lover. He knows when to stop and doesn't push too much.

"Why don't you become my chef?"

Of course, Snow said no, somehow, he either wanted his lover to chase after him or, play with the murderous General.
