As soon as this thought came to mind, You Que felt that it was unlikely and not like Sang Ya's style. So he just held the cigarette between his fingers and waited for Sang Ya's answer.
"When did I say I was going to leave you?"
Sang Ya came back to his senses and sat down next to You Que. He couldn't help wanting to laugh, but when he thought of the troubles his family had suffered after his wings were forcibly removed, his eyes became gloomy and vague, like a thick fog that could not be dispersed.
"It's just that the south is too far away, and my family has offended many enemies. It may not be safe to go there. I don't know if you are willing to go back with me."
Sang Ya's family has been oppressed by the powerful because of that incident, and life after returning may not be much better than here. He must make it clear with You Que to prevent the other party from regretting it.
When Sanya's wings were removed, he killed the male insect with his last breath and was detained by the military. However, he had far more enemies than just these few.
The doctor who performed the operation, the 'strategist' who gave advice to the male insect, the powerful who suppressed the family...
These accounts must always be settled clearly.
Sangya felt that he could not be burdened by hatred in his life, but if some hatred was not eliminated, he would never have peace for the rest of his life. He had to pull out the thorn in his heart.
The only reason he hesitated was that he didn't want to involve You Que...
As they were talking, a silver-gray car stopped at the street corner. Seeing this, You Que picked up the travel bag at his feet and said to Gui Gu and John, "I have to leave. I'll send you a message when I get to the south."
You Que knew that Gui Gu and John were always broke, so he took out some money from his pocket and handed it to them: "Take this money, it's not much, but it's enough for a week. Take this time to find a decent job, it's better than anything else."
Fortunately, Sanya had already informed Feiwen and the others in advance. However, Guigu and John were surprised for a moment when they learned that Youque was going to leave the town of Saint-Riez and go to the south.
You Que ignored his joke and said, "We'll leave soon. I wanted to tell you earlier, but a friend of mine passed away and I've been taking care of his funeral recently, so I didn't have time to come."
You Que couldn't say that he disliked these two bad guys who were committing fraud. Although he had no choice but to hang out with them in the beginning in order to survive, it was inevitable that he developed some friendship with them over time.
You Que deliberately asked back: "Then I won't go?"
Sanya was delighted at first, but then his heart tightened again. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "It's very dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?"
You Que didn't expect that Sanya was hesitant for this reason: "It's not a matter of willingness or unwillingness. If you want to go, let's go together."
Sang Ya leaned on his shoulder and rubbed it lazily twice. A sinister look flashed in the depths of her eyes, but You Que didn't notice it: "You'll know when we get back."
Guigu and John looked at each other when they heard this, and no one reached out to take it.
"Sanya's father is ill, so I went with him to visit him. I will come back when I have time."
Not long after, Machi finished the formalities and came out of the police station office. You Que and Sanya took him back to the welfare home. Eugene's body had already decayed, so it had to be cremated as soon as possible. Machi was old, so Sanya basically helped to take care of the funeral.
Sanya choked: "You just agreed, how can you go back on your word?"
Once everything was done, it was almost time to leave.
Guigu has no other good points, but he is loyal. After he finished speaking, he patted You Que on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sangya is the bartender in Kurite Bar, right? I knew you liked him a long time ago, but you are still stubborn and refuse to admit it. When are you going to leave?"
You Que thought, why are you asking? He rarely makes any intimate gestures in public, but at this moment he took the initiative to put his arm around Sang Ya's shoulders, and he still looked thin: "Then tell me, who did your family offend? Why do you have so many enemies?"
You Que grabbed Sang Ya's cold hand and repeated, "I will go back to the south with you."
"You Que, the south is so far away, why are you going there for no reason?"
You Que was originally an outsider and did not necessarily have to settle down in the town of Saint-Riez. Compared to the unknown dangers, he was more resistant to the feeling of abandonment that had taken root in his heart since childhood.
"Yes... yes... you are over there... you are unfamiliar with the place... if you encounter bad bugs... what should you do..."
"It's just a job. It won't take a week. I can find you one in a minute. You can keep this money and spend it in the South. When you come back, John and I may have become rich."
Gui Gu subconsciously waved goodbye: "Hey, don't forget to come back when the time comes!"
You Que paused when he heard this and turned back to look at him: "Didn't you say you wanted to make a lot of money? It would be the same if you made a lot of money and came to the south to find me."
Gui Gu curled his lips and put his hand into his pocket as usual. Suddenly, he touched a stack of hard objects. He pulled them out in surprise and saw that it was the money that You Que had just stuffed into their pockets.
At that time, You Que had already opened the car door and sat in the back seat. When Sang Ya saw him coming up, he habitually looked outside, but found two male insects standing on the side of the road. He asked in surprise: "Do you know those two hooligans outside?"
Feiwen's investigation report said that You Que was rescued by two gangsters outside the town. Could they be these two guys
You Que had never let Sang Ya know that he and Gui Gu knew each other, but he didn't expect that it would be exposed today: "Why, you still remember them?"
"I was almost scammed by them on my first day here. Do you think I remember it?"
Fortunately, You Que arrived early that day, otherwise Gui Gu and John would at least have broken arms and legs. However, some things in the world are just so coincidental. If it hadn't happened, he wouldn't have met You Que.
Thinking of this, Sangyas looked at Youque intriguingly, thinking that he was not a good guy either: "So you are in the same group with them, then why did you help me in the first place?"
You Que: "These two things do not conflict."
If one had to find a reason, it was probably because Sang Ya looked too shabby, too shabby, and too lifeless that day, and You Que inexplicably felt sympathy for her.
When he closed his eyes, he could still vaguely smell the damp rain that day. The female insect's wet face looked even paler and more beautiful in the heavy rain, but it exuded a rotten smell as if it had just crawled out of a coffin.
The sound of raindrops dripping made You Que's heart tremble with every hit.
The driver started the car without knowing when, and the scenery outside the window quickly retreated and disappeared, leaving the street where they had met far behind. Sang Ya saw You Que sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, his side face was covered with a thin layer of light and shadow, indifferent and handsome, and she couldn't help but quietly rest her head on his legs.
On the first day that Sangya met You Que, he had just crawled out of the pile of corpses in Black Stone Prison. As soon as he left the snowy north, heavy rain began to fall in the town of Saint-Riez.
What was Sanya thinking at that time
Although this male insect is wearing a mask, its eyes are really beautiful.
The rose in the suit pocket is beautiful,
The hands hanging at her sides are even more beautiful.
Plus the other party helped him,
Just one glance, and I can't forget it...
The car drove smoothly all the way to the outpost outside the town. There were many starships parked on the open space of the camp over there. The team for the change of guard had already assembled and were climbing onto the aircraft one by one and getting into the cabin. For a while, the only sounds that could be heard were the collision of guns and the sound of footsteps.
Robert had prepared two sets of clothes in advance. When he saw Sanya's car arrive at the camp, he handed in two sets of military uniforms through the window and said, "The team is about to set off. Put on these two sets of uniforms and get on the aircraft with me."
Sanya was fine, but Youque was a male insect, so he had to disguise himself to avoid being discovered by the accompanying army. The two of them quickly changed their clothes and got off the car, following Robert on the starship. At that time, there were several officers sitting in the starship, so it was not crowded. When they saw Robert leading two unfamiliar "military females" in, they casually asked, "Who are these two military females? Why haven't you seen them before?"
This starship is specially designed for generals, and ordinary soldiers sit in the back.
Robert said casually: "My two fellow countrymen, the starship behind is too crowded, so I brought them here, and we can chat on the way."
After hearing this, the officers did not ask any more questions. There was still a vacant position anyway, and Robert was the leading general, so there was no need for them to make a big deal out of it.
Sanya took You Que to sit in the front row. There was a large empty seat in the back, which was just enough to keep them away from the gossiping officers. He took out two thin blankets from the upper compartment and handed them to You Que, saying, "It will take about two days to fly from here to the south. We have to spend the night on the starship."
Sanya was wearing a white and gold military uniform. He looked very imposing when he was silent, and his every move vaguely showed his habits in the army. You Que stared at him for a while, and it was hard for him to imagine why Sanya had retired from the army.
Sang Ya took two bottles of water and sat down. Seeing You Que staring at him, he paused and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
You Que calmly withdrew his gaze: "Nothing."
I just didn’t expect that Sanya would look so good in a military uniform.
The journey was boring, and Robert was sitting in front of them. When You Que closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair to rest, he could not help but hear the deliberately low voices of his conversation with Sang Ya.
"You may not know this, but Major General Brand also returned to the south two days ago. If we have the chance, maybe we can get together again."
"Why did he suddenly return to the South?"
"You have been outside the whole time, so it is normal that you did not hear anything. When he was in the imperial capital, he found a rare pure-blooded crown as his partner. The Insect Emperor personally presided over the wedding. This time he returned to the south, probably to visit his relatives."
Sanya seemed a little surprised when he heard this. He frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate and swallowed it back: "... It's good. He is the young leader. Even for the sake of his status, the male insect will not do anything to him."
Robert said with envy: "I once saw His Majesty when I attended a wedding in the imperial capital. He looked different from those bad male insects in the south who wanted to pluck our wings. He had black hair and black eyes, and was very handsome. I wonder how pleased Chief Harrington must be."
He was talking excitedly, but he didn't know that You Que suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the words "black hair and black eyes", and his expression seemed a little dazed and shocked.
It is rare to see insects with black hair and black eyes in Salilan. At least in Saint-Riez, a place with backward information, You Que has never seen an insect with black hair and black eyes, otherwise he would not have gone to the trouble of changing his hair to brown.
Now that Robert said that a bug with black hair and black eyes appeared in the south, You Que couldn't help but think about it.
"Do you have a picture of him?"
You Que spoke suddenly, which scared Robert, and even Sang Ya looked over.
"What?"
You Que sat up straight in his chair and asked casually, "Do you have a photo of that pure-blooded male insect? Can you show it to me?"
Robert lowered his head and opened his terminal, looking through the photo album: "It's possible, but my terminal was accidentally damaged during the last battle, and some data has not been restored yet... Found it!"
Robert handed the terminal to You Que and said, "I took a few photos at the wedding, but they were far away, so they look a little blurry."
You Que took it and looked at it carefully. The picture was obviously a wedding scene, but because it was shot from the side, the face of the male insect was a little blurry, and only the black hair could be seen at most.
It looked familiar, but I couldn't tell who it was.
Just when You Que was lost in thought, Sanya came over to take a look and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to see this?"
Youque is a male insect. Even if he wants to look, he should look at the beautiful female insects. Why are you staring at a male insect
You Que came back to his senses after hearing this and handed the terminal back to Robert: "Nothing, I'm just a little curious about what a pure-blooded male insect looks like. I heard that they are very rare."
Sanya chuckled: "What can it look like? Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. What else can it have than you?"
He didn't care about the so-called 100% blood purity. There were quite a few noble male insects in the south with high blood purity, but if you opened their collection rooms at home, you might find a pair of wings that were peeled off alive from female insects.
In such an unbalanced system, excessive power and honor will only make those male insects worse.
All in all, Sanya's heart has become crooked. No matter how good other male insects are, she always feels that they are not as good as her own.
You Que touched Sangya's braid without saying anything.
Robert said, "There are only three pure-blooded princes in the empire now. We have one in the south. We will have more confidence when speaking in front of His Majesty in the future. Otherwise, it will be a shame to be suppressed all the time."
Beauty and strength cannot be achieved at the same time. Most female insects in the south are not good at fighting, and intelligence detection is their strong point. In comparison, the northern part with strong combat power has more say. At least in the north, there has never been an example of a male insect daring to pluck the wings of a female insect.
This incident was just a small episode in the journey, and then everything became quiet and no one mentioned it again.
You Que was absent-minded the whole time, wondering whether the male insect with black hair and black eyes could be his human companion. Sang Ya inevitably felt uneasy as he returned to his hometown, and finally found a comfortable position to lean on You Que's shoulder.
You Que asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Sanya said "hmm".
You Que put his arm around him and said, "If you feel tired, take a nap."
Sang Ya was not actually sleepy, he just felt more at ease next to You Que, but he leaned on the male insect's warm chest and fell asleep unknowingly.
The starship flew for a full day and a half, and finally arrived at Yinchatai in the south the next afternoon. Sang Ya and You Que stepped off the starship with their suitcases, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around them, and it was difficult for them to recover for a while.
Robert patted Sanya heavily from behind: "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? You haven't been home for so long that you don't even recognize your home?"
Since landing, Sanya seemed a little restless, even a little nervous. When Robert suddenly patted him from behind, Sanya's back tensed up as if he had received an electric shock, and then he glared at him coldly, his face looking a little ugly.
Robert seemed to realize something and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Sorry, I forgot you don't like being touched on the back."
You Que had just been looking around and had not noticed the lawsuit going on behind the scenes. Seeing that Sang Ya was not moving, he walked over and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
Robert interrupted, "I have arranged a car. It is parked outside the exit. Come with me."
After he finished speaking, he took the lead.
You Que saw that Sanya looked pale and thought that he had quarreled with Robert, so he put his arm around him and said, "It's not easy to go home, be happy."
After hearing this, Sang Ya's expression slowly relaxed and he followed You Que.
