Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[34] Childhood Sweetheart?

In the middle of the training ground, a new batch of trainees was doing various training. Some were sparring with their partners with sword while some were doing a strength training. Amongst the new recruits, one man stood from the others.

The man was tall around 190 cm with robust body and long, muscular legs. Not only he had a perfect body but he also had a good looking face. The man's hair was cut short and short bangs framed his cleaned cut face. Below the bangs, two sharp sword like eyebrows hung above his deep, narrow dark eyes. The nose was straight and his lips were thin and manly.

The handsome recruit was sparring with a partner and his every move was almost perfect except it lacked experience in real battle. But he was considered the best amongst his peers.

"I admit defeat!" A lanky young man with shoulder length hair tied into a small ponytail threw his sword down when he saw the blade across from him was pointed at his neck.

The handsome young recruit grinned and pulled back his sword before he put it in a scabbard at his waist. He helped the other man to stand up and watched him patting the dust on his bottom.

"Seriously, I was unlucky that I was matched with you." The young man sighed and took back his sword on the ground. "Changming ah, how come your skill is not like a newcomer at all?"

"I train everyday," Zhang Changming just grinned and patted his partner in exuberant manner causing the lanky man to flinch.

"Ow, Ow, Ow! Control your strength a little!" the lanky man complained as he massaged his shoulder. "Aii.. We're the same age but how come our builds are so different?"

"My mother and father trained me since I was young, besides--" before Zhang Changming could finish his words he heard the commotion from the other recruits. He glanced at the others and saw they were very excited.

"What's going on?" The lanky man asked one of the recruits. Zhang Changming followed beside him, raising his eyebrow at the noisy fellows.

"Xiao Chen, go and sit there while Father trains these guys."

"I understand, father."

Zhang Changming heard the soft, melodic voice and saw the familiar face that he had missed greatly. "Xiao Chen..." he whispered.

It felt like eternity last he saw the ger and talked to him. Well, he kind of bullied him but who asked Zhan Chen to be so cute ah!

Maybe his stare was too heated and strong that caused those big, pretty eyes turned to him and their eyes met.

"......"

"What are you looking and whispering about?! Go pick your swords and start training!" Bai Jian Yu bellowed in anger as he saw those dirty men staring at his adorable, precious ger son like a pack of hungry wolves.

Damn! He shouldn't bring his child here!

Zhang Changming broke the stare and immediately found the lanky man to spar. He understood General Bai's temper and Xiao Chen was his only child. The general was originally protective of the adorable young ger but he became even more protective after the kidnapping and any man who tried to court him would suffer difficulties.

"Xiao Chen, why don't you go wait at father's study?" Bai Jian Yu tried to persuade his ger son. He didn't like how those men eyeing his beloved child. "Liqin, you should bring Xiao Chen to my office." He saw how Zhang Liqin was trying to say something and continued, "I'll tell Changming to come and see you after the training."

He then turned to one of the soldier that he trusted, "You! Go and accompany my child and Liqin to my office."

The man nodded in understanding as he went with the two gers.

Zhang Liqin smiled in gratitude and bowed his head to say thanks. It had been a month since Zhang Changming entered the army and he didn't come back home because of the new recruits' training.

Zhang Liqin, "Come, Young Master."

Zhan Chen stared with reluctant at the training ground. He also wanted to join the training ba! The sword looked so cool that he wanted to try his hand on it too! But, he knew this was not a game and reluctantly, followed the older ger to his father's study.

Zhan Chen was bored. He wanted to go and explore the palace but there were so many strange people here according to his father. Also, he kind of wanted to see the emperor.

He never got bored whenever he was with the handsome young Emperor.

Looking out of the window from the office room, he sighed heavily as if his entire world collapsed because he was too bored.

"Xiao Chen?"

A man's strange voice entered his eardrums. Turning back from the window panel, he saw the same young man from the new recruits that Bai Jian Yu was training.

The man was tall, almost as tall as the emperor and very handsome. But because he sported a short hair and sharp features, he looked way too manly. He was also muscular but not overly though.

Zhan Chen huffed in irritation. Why were all the men he met were handsome, muscular and taller than him? Why did he transmigrate into this soft, small stature ba?

He heard the man laughing at him. He narrowed his eyes. "Why are you laughing?"

The man was surprised at the ger's biting words, stopped immediately and coughed. He stared for a minute before walked forward and hugged the small ger. "I've missed you."

Shocked, Zhan Chen turned stiff. Who was this strange man? Why did he suddenly hug him?! Before he could push him...

"You brat! What are you doing to Young Master?" Zhang Liqin came and pulled the strange man away.

"Mom! Is it wrong for me to hug my little Chen? He must missed me his Ge." He turned to the stiffened young ger. "Right, Xiao Chen?"

"Who are you?" Zhan Chen asked and hid behind Zhang Liqin. The man's probing eyes were quite disturbing. He felt like the man was assessing his soul.

Frowning, Zhang Changming stared at the lithe ger and then, silently, enquired his mother.

Zhang Liqin sighed and explained, "Sorry, Young Master, this unruly brat is my dear son and he is your childhood friend." He said and explained to his impatient son, "Young Master lost his memory and he couldn't remember."

Zhang Changming frowned even more. "Since when?" he then stared again at the small ger who was still hiding behind his mother.

Somehow, Zhang Changming felt that this young ger was different from before.

He acted like... "Xiao Táng?"

Zhan Chen jolted in surprise and stared at the man while frowning. The way he called him wasn't the same like before. It reminded him of a certain childhood friend.

"Ming Ge?"

Dictionary:
Táng: Sugar/Candy/Sweet (Basically, Changming is calling Zhan Chen, Little Candy or Little Sugar because Xiao Chen's love for sweets)
