1 Father, Please Support Me!

"You're mine!" Xia Yue said to that figure, walking back in the horizon with resolve. She bit her lips and forced a tear back, waving her hands as the figure looked back and gave a hearty chuckle,

"So are you!"

That was six years ago, when she was 12 and he was 13, she became mature and cheeky unlike her previous self and so did he. Who was this person you may ask? Well, he's An Xiao.... the most prominent and youngest General to date in the Saheran Empire.

The Empire was in a state of constant warfare with its rival and tried to lessen their losses. With a constant influx of bloodthirsty and hot-blooded youths, they managed to hold fort with seasoned veterans, marshals and newbies alike.

This was a technologically advanced world and thus, war became advanced with, Mechs!

Human piloted robots that could tear through a 100-man formation with minor damages. Those who could pilot such robots were respected and were in extremely high demand.

Getting back in hand, those who could secure high positions were mech-users and talented strategists. An Xiao was included in that list, being the sole survivor of a recent wipe of Battalion J, he single-handedly gained vengeance for his comrades all the while, sustaining critical damage.

He was found by a recon squad and bought to a Governmental Hospital where although he was stripped of his duties for a month and criticised, he was due for a promotion. Finding a random excuse, they elevated An Xiao to General and gave him a 200-Man squad for his battles and thus, he became the youngest General in History.

Recently, he had gained another military merit, capturing a enemy

fortress with minimal damage, this gained huge amounts of popularity and bursted everybody's infatuation with him. Although it may be that it's extremely useful for his current position, it pressured Xia Yue even more.

She wasn't matched with city-toppling looks like those celebrities nor refined like those arrogant nobles, she was simply, herself. She had an androgynous face and with a haircut and a coloured contact lens, she'd be a whole new person. This is why, after racking her head day and night, Xia Yue came up with a solution.

Knocking the door to her father's study in the afternoon, she mentally went over the plan in her head before stepping inside.

"What is it, sweetie?" Xia Yue's father was Shao Yue, the older Male icon, with the youngest being of course An Xiao. He was a bit over his 30s but looked in his 20s, he had charming eyes that could entice anyone regardless of gender or identity. His willowy eyelashes, pale-skin and definitely defined muscles, clearly amplified his sexiness as he said, in a husky tone.

"Well... I want to join the Army." At that moment, Shao Yue has a coughing fit as his eyes stared at his daughter with disbelief,

"Can you repeat that for me, sweetie? I don't think I heard it right...."

"Come on, Dad, you know what I said. I want to join the army, is it that hard to understand?" Xia Yue rolled her eyes at her father's words, crossing her arms as she pouted at him.

"Darling, let me tell you this. First of all, your mother is going to make me kneel on the washboard if that happens. Second of all, you haven't experienced pain or suffering in your life, why would I send you to Pain Central? Thirdly, girls aren't allowed to be in the Army or it's going to be a huge scandal. Finally, I've pampered you, your mother has pampered your, you haven't experienced bloodshed, how could I bear parting with you?" Gently coaxing Xia Yue, he slowly walked up to her and pulled her into a hug, all the while he tussled her hair.

"But D-dad..."

"No butts, my decision is final, okay?" At his daughter's attempt at a rebuttal to his answer, he quickly put his finger over her lips and kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry sweetie, I just can't okay?" 'I just can't sacrifice my night life for this, okay? I can't be a vegan...' He crossed off the last sentence in his head as he shuddered at the thought of it... With tears forming, Xia Yue quivered her lips and ran out the room, shouting.

"I...I hate you dad!" Bursting into her door and slamming it shut, she jumped onto her bed and cried however, her head had other ideas.

"It's time for Plan B...." Xia Yue muttered as she wiped her tears and got off the bed...
