Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female-Chapter 122: Firm Belief

Lu Xiao had said that precisely because she knew that while others might not understand why she brought up Beina’s sister, Beina herself definitely would.

Because Beixian had apologized to a male.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Xiao finished speaking, Beina’s expression soured for a moment, and the corner of her lip even twitched.

But Lu Xiao was already ignoring her. She turned to Ares, her gaze gentle, and said, "Wait for me a little longer. We’ll have lunch together."

Ares nodded. "Okay."

After Lu Xiao left, the previously quiet hall instantly erupted in a clamor—

"Did you just hear that? Her Excellency Lu Xiao called Ares her lover!"

"Lover? Does that mean what I think it means? I thought ’partner’ was already an enviable term. I never thought you could also be called a ’lover’!"

"If a female ever called me her lover in this lifetime, I’d die of happiness!"

"Stop talking, I’m dying to know! How on earth did Major General Ares get his matron to trust and defend him like that?"

"Her Excellency Lu Xiao is so cool! Oh my god, she didn’t doubt Ares for a second. She stood firmly by his side. SOB... even though I’m not the one involved, I’m so moved!"

"Just between us, I heard that the females from Duke Green’s family really like to play around with males. It happened to a buddy of mine before... sigh, he still hasn’t gotten over it."

"That sounds awful!"

...

Lu Xiao had no idea how the soldiers outside were singing her praises after she left!

Returning to her clinic, she naturally slipped back into work mode, completely unaffected by the small, sudden interlude.

As for Ares, he was swarmed by a group of officers he was on good terms with, all of them asking the same question: "How on earth did you do it? If you have a secret, don’t hold out on us, okay?"

"Yeah, we’re all brothers here. Is there anything you can’t tell us?"

"Ares, don’t make us get on our knees and beg you!"

"But... if you really want us to, it’s not like we won’t!"

...

Ares: "...Have some self-respect, will you?"

"If my matron would call me her lover, who needs self-respect!"

"Exactly! Self-respect? That’s not important!"

Ares looked at the group. It was clear they wouldn’t let him leave today without getting something out of him. He had no choice. "I have a cooking video I recorded. Do you want it? I can send it to you."

"Is it for that sweet and sour pork with pineapple dish?"

Ares nodded.

"Nah, we don’t want that one. We all have it already. My matron actually really likes it, though. If you have another one, you can send it to me."

"Yeah, Ares, you need to hurry up with your cooking tutorials! You’re too slow!"

Ares raised an eyebrow. "Where did you get it?"

He only remembered sending it to three people: Admiral Kula Peng, Hades, and Chrisman.

Looking at this bunch now, it seemed like practically everyone had a copy.

"Well, it was in the group chat..."

"AHEM, AHEM, AHEM-HEM!"

The man had just started to speak when he was cut off by the others’ coughing, and he quickly dropped the topic.

But Ares had already heard him. "What group chat? You guys made a private group chat?"

The group suddenly fell silent. Silence was often an answer in itself.

Ares smiled. "You’re all in the group chat... except for me?"

"Hey, Ares, it’s just that everyone sees how well you’re doing now and wants to learn from you! So we just discussed it a bit, nothing else, haha!"

"Yeah, yeah! How about we add you to the group now? It’ll be easier for you to share things in the future, right?"

"Actually, we wanted to add you a long time ago. We were just afraid you wouldn’t want to join!"

"And if I didn’t want to? Wouldn’t you all just keep swarming me like you are now?" Ares watched as the group suddenly became as timid as quails, their chattering ceasing. "My matron and I have such a good relationship not because of something I did alone, but because she shows me so much patience and understanding. That’s how we got to where we are today. So, I have nothing I can teach you."

’In fact,’ Ares thought, ’in his relationship with Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao was the one who gave more. It was only under Lu Xiao’s tolerance and consideration that he had become the person he was today.’

’Otherwise, where would he get such confidence?’

He didn’t want these men to only see his own changes and good fortune while ignoring Lu Xiao’s contributions and efforts.

The health of a relationship can never be achieved through the efforts of just one person.

Hearing Ares’s words, the excitement in the others’ eyes finally faded.

In truth, they could also see that Lu Xiao was extraordinary. It was just that females like her were simply too rare.

They couldn’t control what the females thought, so they could only try to change themselves. That was why they had placed their hopes in Ares.

"But I believe that if you put your heart into doing something, the other person should be able to feel it," Ares found himself having to say something comforting.

’These guys just deflated way too quickly!’

’As males, they still needed a little hope.’

Admiral Kula Peng finally managed to see Beina off. The first thing he did upon returning was to find Ares.

"Her Excellency Lu Xiao isn’t angry with me, is she?"

Kula Peng was wringing his hands nervously as he spoke.

Ares shook his head. "Lu Xiao isn’t a petty person. Besides, this incident had nothing to do with you. You don’t need to blame yourself."

"I truly didn’t expect it. When she came to see me, she spoke so well. I thought she seemed quite professional, with a good personality. Who would have thought it was all an act? Sigh... From what Her Excellency Lu Xiao said, it sounds like you’ve also met the eldest female of Duke Green’s family?"

Ares didn’t hide what had happened with Beixian. He recounted the previous incident for Admiral Kula Peng.

After listening to Ares’s story, Kula Peng’s brow furrowed. "I had only heard rumors that the females of Duke Green’s family were fickle, but I didn’t think it was actually true. Thankfully, Her Excellency Lu Xiao trusted you completely today. Otherwise... In any case, you should be more careful about these things in the future."

"I know." ’In truth, the reason he could respond to Beina the way he did today was only because he had absolute faith in Lu Xiao. He absolutely believed that no matter what, Lu Xiao would never abandon him.’

And as it turned out, Lu Xiao had done just that, believing in him with unwavering conviction.

Kula Peng had only offered the advice out of habit. But as soon as he said it, he felt that it was unnecessary to say such things to Ares. After all, Ares’s matron was Lu Xiao.

With Lu Xiao around, she would absolutely never allow her partner to suffer unfair treatment.

Especially since Lu Xiao had used the word "lover" when introducing Ares.

"Ahem. That word, ’lover’... is that a private term of endearment between you two?" As Ares’s superior, he really shouldn’t have been asking this. But he couldn’t help it; he was just dying to know. Who could blame him? The kid was just too damned enviable!
