Happy Ending: The Scholar's Beloved (Part 1)

Three years have passed since the death of the Emperor Zau, and the destruction of the Imperial Palace's West side.

He was now replaced by a boy, once called Tang Xin, who changed his name to Zau Xin.

Emperor Zau Xin came with his own advisor at his side, a former general that no one had even thought they would see again.

It was Qing Daitong, who the older official's knew form their youth and thought had died from battle. His sudden disappearance now made sense....

Seeing his amputated legs.

But he seemed to be as strong as ever, as he can still swing himself with his arms and climb ropes to spar with the young prince and train him to be a great warrior.

He also trained him on everything he knows about the Palace, as well as his knowledge in medicine for future use.

And usupers would not be able to assasinate this boy with someone like him by his side.

Qing Daitong would often tell the boy how much he reminds him of his son, though.

"He was a brave and optimistic boy like you, always believing he can achieve the impossible. His mind and heart was as strong as any warrior."

The officials would assume that the son he speaks about was a Yang.

Not knowing it was the Yin scholar that they thought had died in the fire, along with the Empress he served.

"Where is he now, Advisor Qing?" Zau Xin would ask.

"He is somewhere with his beloved. That is all I know." Qing Daitong smiled.

"You are not mad that he left you behind to be with his beloved?"

"Hahaha, silly child! Why must I be?" Qing Daitong ruffled his hair. "He is all free now, no longer bound by his sympathy for his father."

"All these years, he could have sought happiness but was afraid to leave me. But now, he realized that I can still be useful on my own and survive without him."

"I am very glad. Despite not being my seed, I am delighted for the tall and great tree that he had grown into."

This said son also happened to be climbing a tree right now, reaching for fruit and swinging down from the branch.

"Here you go, Yi-Yi." He handed out an apple to him.

"Thank you, but you did not need to climb that far for me, Ah-Guang." He kissed him on the cheek. "I could settle for a peach tree, it's much lower."

"I don't like peaches very much." Ren Jidian said.

"Oh? You don't like the taste?"

"No. I don't like looking at them." Ren Jidian took a bite at the apple. "They look too much like..... Like..."

Wei Wangyi suddenly went quiet, then burst out in laughter.

"Hey, what's so funny with that!? It's a genuine fear, alright!? They look wayyy too suggestive to me, and we're already doing it almost 2 to 3 times everyday!"

"If I don't restrict it to only every other day... We'll get nothing done and won't be able to eat food properly! And that can get you sick!"

Wei Wangyi chuckled, patting his cheek. "Is that really what you're worried about..."

"Or were you scared of going too wild again?"

Wei Wangyi bit the apple. "Yes, we do it everyday, but you never put it inside anymore. Just your fingers."

Ren Jidian made a face. "Are my fingers not enough? They're longer than my thing, you know?"

"Yes, but..... I like it when you spill all your seeds inside me." Wei Wangyi wrapped his hand around his neck. "I want you to keep doing it until I get pregnant."

"Hah, that will be when the sun rises from the west." Ren Jidian said. "It's impossible, Yi-Yi."

"But..... do you want to have children so badly? Is my company not enough for you?"

Ren Jidian thought about it. He knew he was joking and just being flirtatious. And yes, Wei Wangyi wanted to be a Yang/Alpha too and prayed to a god to not bear children.....

But only the Emperor's children.

That does not mean he does not want them at all.

And they were already approaching the age of 25. Usually, people in the modern world already get paired up through matching centers and were already mothers and fathers.

But they were not a regular Alpha and Omega pair.

However, Ren Jidian still have semen. It was said to be have low fertility, but doctors said that it was not completely infertile.

They said he had low testosterone levels, and it's affecting his sperm production.

And with his knowledge now in medicine, he knows of many foods that can boost testosterone.

It was still a long shot, and they might just get disappointed in the end. But it's better than nothing.

He brought up the topic to Wei Wangyi, who nodded excietedly.

"Let's do it now!" He exclaimed. "Have this diet you talk about, and we'll do it again and again until it works."

"And if it doesn't? If we eventually reach old age and not have any children?"

Wei Wangyi smiled. "We tried, at the very least. We can also adopt someone just like your Father."

Ren Jidian nodded, face a little red. "Alright..."

"But Ah-Guang..." Wei Wangyi then faltered.

He raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"I just really want to feel good with you. I feel like I'll end up using the prospects of having a child just to have my way."

He placed the apple between their mouths. "So do not worry too much about making me bear a child. Worry about satisfying me, alright?"

Ren Jidian gulped. "Alright..... You are in charge after all. Anything to make you happy."

"Hahaha....." Wei Wangyi chuckled. "What good husband you would be, so obedient."

Ren Jidian blinked. "Can you say that again?"

"Hmm?" Wei Wangyi then pretended to blink innocently. "I do not remember what I said anymore. Care to remind me?"

"Yi-Yi....." Ren Jidian pouted. "Don't play me like this. It's the first time you called me that, I want to... I want to hear it again."

Wei Wangyi grinned. "But we're not even married yet, Ah-Guang."

"Then we will today." Ren Jidian said, clasping his hand.

"By ourselves?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

"But we do not have wedding robes... "

Wei Wangyi then grinned: "Oh wait. We do have, just a lighter color."

They went inside their makeshift house here in the mountains, deep within the woods.

Completely reclused from society besides the few letters to Qing Daitong and Lady Shu, which takes a while to be received and given. Sometimes months, sometimes years.

But they were happy with only having each other.

"Here it was. I forgot to tell you something when I saw you wearing it when we killed the emperor." Wei Wangyi pulled out something from a dusty wooden chest.

It was the pink dancing clothes he wore, as well as the matching one he bought for Ren Jidian during that time they went to the market.

"You also looked terrifyingly and frighteningly beautiful in these robes. I imagined you dancing with me while wearing it."

Ren Jidian took his hand.

"Well, we could always do that now. After we get married, I would like to dance with my beloved."

Wei Wangyi's eyes gleamed. "I'd also like that very much."
