In the first few days after freshmen enter the school, they will all be subjected to the devilish training of the instructors without exception. Those undisciplined troublemakers will be picked out one by one and then made obedient one by one. This can be regarded as the tradition of the military academy over the years.
However, before Lu Yuan, the leader of the gang, could start to stir up trouble, he was dragged into the river by his stupid teammates. It was because Instructor Horwich kept his word and since he said "all male insects" should run for the punishment, no one should be left out, and Lu Yuan was not spared.
At noon, the sun was high overhead, making the ground of the training ground scorching hot and smoking. On the playground of Area C, a team of male insects were running and sweating profusely. Behind them was an instructor with a gloomy face. Anyone who fell behind by even half a step would get a hard kick in the buttocks.
"Run faster! Are you turtles?!"
The male insect that was kicked didn't even have the energy to lose his temper. He just ran forward tremblingly with all his strength. He thought to himself that they were not turtles at all, they were clearly tired like dogs!
Among a pile of male insects lying here and there, a figure as fast as the wind stood out. Lu Yuan rushed to the front with quick and steady steps, leaving those male insects far behind, attracting the attention of the female insects passing by.
Eighteen laps...
Nineteen laps...
Twenty laps...
Lu Yuan's back was already soaked with sweat. He tried hard to adjust his rapid breathing and counted silently in his mind while running. Finally, he crossed the finish line at the loud whistle of Instructor Horwich, ending his long penalty run.
Instructor Horrich showed a hint of admiration when he saw this. He had never expected that a male insect could actually keep running. "After 20 laps, you can leave the get out of class!"
Yoriga was sitting in the dining area on the second floor, leaning against the railing. Seeing this horrible scene, he turned his head away. "They really look like a pack of starving hyenas. Did we care so little about our manners during military training? It's so disrespectful."
Lu Yuan was startled, and suddenly remembered that he had promised Justu to treat him to lunch at noon. He didn't even take a rest, and quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the military building.
Today was the first day of freshman registration. Not only was Lu Yuan's class being severely tortured by the instructors, but other classes were not much better. After the training, the freshmen were already starving. As soon as they entered the cafeteria, they rushed in with their food trays, crowding the food entrance. From a distance, it looked so crowded, and there were shouts and shoves, which was more lively than a shopping mall.
Lu Yuan didn't even have the energy to curse. He raised his hand to take off his sweaty military cap, and sat down directly on the playground. He asked breathlessly: "Now... What time is it now?"
There were about five or six female soldiers sitting at their table, and on the table was lunch and a variety of snacks that had been prepared in advance. However, Justu seemed to be in a bad mood and looked uninterested, and he didn't even eat a bite of the food in front of him.
"What?! You dare to call me an earthworm?! Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you!"
Lu Yuan had no other merits in his life, one was loyalty, the other was keeping his promises, and he would never go back on his word. However, when he arrived at the classroom breathlessly, he found it empty, without even a shadow of a bug.
"You are blind! You are like an earthworm without eyes!"
Lu Yuan leaned against the wall, holding his knees and panting. He thought he must have run himself crazy. It had been an hour since the noon get out of class ended. Who would be so stupid as to sit in the classroom and wait? This was great. Justu was already angry. Now that he had stood him up, wouldn't he be even more angry
Lu Yuan felt a headache when he thought about this. He took off his sweaty military training jacket and put it on his shoulders. He had no choice but to leave and go to the cafeteria to eat. If he was lucky, he might run into Justu.
"Damn it! Are you blind? This is my seat!"
Justu shrugged. "Not long ago. Just a year ago."
Yoriga was almost mad: "It happened so many years ago, and you still remember it so clearly?!"
Instructor Horridge lowered his eyes and glanced at the timer. He said calmly, "Oh, it's still early. It's only one o'clock."
Finished,
He must have left.
"Yes," Justu crossed his legs and leaned lazily against the back of the chair. His knee-high black combat boots wrapped around his slender calves, exuding a cold and abstinent aura. He said in a cold tone, "You fought with that guy Arcite in order to grab the last half piece of luncheon meat on the plate. Remember? Lord O'Hara even paid a large sum of star coins to their family for this."
Because Badler College covers a large area, there are a total of eight canteens. The road was far away and I didn't know the way, so I just picked the nearest one. As a result, as soon as I entered, I was shocked by the sight of mountains and seas of insects eating inside.
Anthony's mother-in-law was the speaker of the House of Representatives, and he inherited his father's eloquence. Seeing this, he jokingly said, "Your Highness, it seems that something unpleasant has affected your appetite?"
"What?! One o'clock?!"
There was a series of clanging sounds, and two female insects started fighting again. Plates and forks flew everywhere, and no one could stop them.
"Oh, my insect god~"
“Really?” Youstu certainly wouldn’t admit that he was pissed off by Lu Yuan. He raised his eyebrows expressionlessly and said, “Maybe it’s because the sweat odor of the freshmen downstairs is too strong and it drifted directly upstairs.”
He has always been obsessed with mysophobia about male insects, and he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief when he said this to prove that what he said was true.
However, perhaps because the first floor was too crowded, from time to time there were freshmen wearing camouflage training uniforms running upstairs with food trays, and there were even male insects among them. The various messy pheromone smells mixed together made the insects dizzy.
Justu was approaching the period of puberty and was extremely sensitive to all kinds of smells. He smelled a strange smell in the air, his brows furrowed, and his expression gradually became uglier.
Damn it…
Justu covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled out a chair and stood up, saying, "Enjoy your meal. I'm going to go back first."
Yoriga said in surprise: "But you didn't eat a single bite."
Yusitu didn't know whether to envy or be jealous of his strong sense of smell. He raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "I don't want to eat in a stinky garbage dump."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly downstairs. However, because the stairs were too crowded, he unexpectedly bumped into a sturdy body when he turned the corner. The scent of the male insect that hit him in the face made him dizzy for a moment.
Justu subconsciously took two steps back. Before he could recover from this extremely aggressive aura, a low and surprised voice rang in his ears. It sounded extremely familiar—
"It's you?"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh every day about the worm-shit-like fate in this world. Just now, he saw that downstairs was too crowded and wanted to go upstairs to take a look, but he happened to run into Justu. It seemed that he had to treat everyone to dinner today.
Justu was stunned. He obviously didn't expect to meet Lu Yuan here: "It's you?!" Lu Yuan stood on a step below and put his coat back on his shoulders. He put one hand in his pocket and looked at Justu with interest: "Who else could it be but me? I said I would come to see you at noon, why didn't you wait for me in the classroom?"
Lu Yuan was only wearing a sweaty black short-sleeved shirt, which could not hide the muscular lines on his body at all. His thin waist was tightened by a military belt, making his shoulders and waist look even broader and narrower, making him look more like a female insect than a female insect.
Upon hearing this, Yousitu glared at Lu Yuan fiercely, thinking that he was deliberately teasing him: "You asked me to wait, so I have to wait? Do you think you are the Insect Emperor?"
Yusitu was obviously still angry. After saying this, he was about to walk around him and head downstairs. As a result, when they passed each other, Lu Yuan pulled him back and said, "I didn't mean to be late."
Lu Yuan felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. He lowered his head and tugged at his collar, motioning Yusitu to look at the sweat marks on his body: "The instructor punished me to run 20 laps. He said that I couldn't leave the get out of class until I finished. As soon as I finished, I went to the classroom to find you."
There was sweat on Lu Yuan's angular jawline, and his dark hair was also wet. He was afraid that Yusitu would not believe him, so he moved closer to him and said, "Look, there is still sweat on my face."
Justu saw that handsome face enlarged in front of him, his pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously dodged back: "Go away, don't rub your stinky sweat on me!"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I am sweating, but it doesn't stink."
Yusitu snorted coldly: "I don't care whether you stink or not, it has nothing to do with me!"
He pulled his hand away and walked downstairs, deciding to keep his distance from Lu Yuan in the future. However, Lu Yuan chased after him and asked, "Why are you leaving? Didn't I say I'd treat you to lunch?"
Justu said without even turning his head: "Forget it."
Lu Yuan: "Are you still angry about what happened this morning?"
Justu: “No.”
Lu Yuan: "Why don't you look at me without me?"
Justu paused when he heard this, and finally turned back to look at Lu Yuan, but his expression was cold and his tone was unfriendly: "Sir, do you think that your status is so noble that all female insects must obey your demands unconditionally? I don't think there is such a provision in the imperial law."
Lu Yuan had never thought about it this way. He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, a little embarrassed: "I just want to apologize to you. What happened yesterday was actually a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to hide it from you."
When Justu heard him mention the overnight stay, his face heated up sharply, and he lowered his voice to warn: "Shut up, don't mention that again!"
Lu Yuan blinked: "Then let me treat you to a meal as an apology?"
Yusitu gritted his teeth silently: "My appetite is too big, I'm afraid you can't afford it."
Lu Yuan thought it was no big deal, so he took out the star card given by Admiral Safir from his pocket and said, "Buy whatever you want to eat, it's my treat."
Lu Yuan's desperate look made Chong itch with hatred. Yusitu glanced at the star card in his hand and really wanted to teach him a lesson. He raised his eyebrows coldly and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lu Yuan was very open-minded about money. You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die. It's useless to have so much money. When he looked at Yousitu, his dark eyes were full of smiles: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are not angry."
Facing Lu Yuan's sincere gaze, an absurd idea suddenly popped up in Justu's mind: if the male insect in front of him intended to seduce, there would be few female insects in the entire Salilan Law that could escape its temptation.
But what does that have to do with me
Justu pulled the star card from Lu Yuan's hand with his fingertips, walked towards the food window, and said meaningfully: "Sir, it's better not to speak too early."
At that time, Lu Yuan didn't understand what this sentence meant, but when he saw Justu's next action, he understood it instantly.
Justu walked to the food pick-up area, glanced at the dazzling array of dishes, and ordered whatever was expensive. Soon, the plates had piled up into a small mountain.
Lu Yuan followed him: "Can you eat so much?"
Justu could always find the most expensive ingredients in the pile of food accurately, and then put them on his plate with a pair of tongs. Hearing this, he said nonchalantly, "Sir, please don't underestimate the appetite of the female insect. Even if she can't finish it, Yoriga and the others are still sitting upstairs."
He thought the journey was long and painful, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.
For some reason, Lu Yuan looked down at his pocket, his expression suddenly became strange, and he hesitated and said, "But aren't you taking too much?"
Justu asked back: "Do you think it's too much or too expensive?"
Lu Yuan told the truth: "It's too much and too expensive."
Justu: “…”
Justu had already picked up a piece of expensive Finger cake, but he put it back after hearing what he said. He walked to the cashier area with his plate and swiped his card to pay. He curled his lips and said sarcastically, "You look distressed, but I'm sorry. I just like to eat a lot of expensive food. I'm sorry to have cost you money."
Lu Yuan hesitated: "It doesn't matter if I spend money, but..."
Justu asked back, "But what?"
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment: "... That star card seems to be yours."
At the beginning, Justu left a star card at the interstellar hospital to pay for medical expenses, and Lu Yuan had always forgotten to return it. When he took the star card out of his pocket just now, he accidentally confused it with the one given by Admiral Safir.
Justu's smile froze: "..."
