The pursuit of beauty in the south is above all else, as can be seen from the architecture of Yinchatai, the central city. The surrounding high-rise buildings are mostly light-colored arched buildings, delicate and elegant. The female insects coming and going on the street have long hair and are dressed in bright clothes. Male insects are rare, and if you occasionally see one, it is tightly blocked by the female servants at home.
In comparison, the town of Saint-Riez is indeed a remote and poor place.
Robert drove the aircraft towards the third district. As he drove, he talked to Sanya: "Mr. Russell is sick and in the hospital. Speaker Croney is taking care of him in the hospital. There should be no bugs in the house now. You should take a shower and rest when you go back."
Sanya's father-in-law, Cronie, is the Speaker of the House of Nobles, a respectable job, but the Salilan law often emphasizes military power, and this position has little say at critical moments.
Sanya hadn't figured out how to face her family yet, so she could only nod and say, "Thank you for your help."
Robert waved his hand: "We are just one family, it's no problem."
Not long after, the aircraft arrived at the residential area and slowly landed in front of a beautiful white garden villa. Sanya had always remembered the password of the house. He walked to the door and tried it. The door opened automatically with a "di liu" sound.
Sanya looked at the furnishings inside and slowly exhaled: "The furnishings in the house have not changed. They are still the same as they were when I left."
Robert helped put the suitcase at the door and said, "You must be tired from traveling these two days. Take some time to rest. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Sanya: "Won't you come in and sit for a while?"
Compared to the prosperous Inchatai, the town of Saint-Riez is like an isolated countryside. Sanya's villa is beautiful and exquisite, and the conditions are many times better than Saint-Riez. Why bother going there
Sang Ya must have been quite young when this photo was taken. She looked a little immature, with her hands in her pockets and her hair tied in a high ponytail. She looked cool and never smiled, unlike now, when she looks a little neurotic, sensitive and cold.
You Que just felt that there must be some hidden reason why Sang Ya left, but it was not a good idea to ask now, so he carried the suitcase and went upstairs with the other party.
You Que saw Robert leave, looked around, and then asked, "Your family environment is so good, why did you run to the town of Saint-Riez?"
He seemed to be really busy. After he finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Sang Ya Youque and hurried away in the aircraft.
You Que thought that he was meeting his father-in-law, so he felt a little uncomfortable: "Should I buy some gifts? It doesn't seem good to come empty-handed."
You Que used to live a carefree life. He didn't even know what he liked, and whether to laugh or not was not something he considered. He put the photo album back and deliberately touched Sanya's braid: "Can you smile for me?"
You Que walked into the bathroom, unbuttoned his shirt and threw it into the laundry basket. Turning his head, he saw Sanya still bending over to organize things, so he simply reached out and pulled him into his arms:
"Let's wash together, it will save trouble."
Sanya thought, what's so good about buying this? "They don't care about those empty gifts. Just live there peacefully. Female insects only give gifts when they go to the homes of male insects."
Of course Sanya wouldn't laugh. He ignored Youque and turned to pack his luggage. He took out two sets of clean clothes and put them on the bed: "Take a shower and change clothes. My father-in-law will be back in the evening. Dress neatly to leave a good impression on him."
You Que's figure is not exaggerated, but it is by no means weak. His muscles are distributed just right, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. You can't see it when he's wearing clothes, but you can see his lean abdominal muscles when he takes off his clothes.
Sanya piled the boxes in a corner, walked into the room, opened the curtains to let the light in, and was a little dazed for a moment: "I used to live in this room when I was at home. I haven't been back for so long that I almost forgot what it looked like."
Sanya changed the subject and said, "I'll tell you tonight. Come on, I'll take you upstairs to have a look."
You Que still felt that he should buy some things, but he had just arrived and didn't know the way. Besides, it was too late now, so he could only plan for it tomorrow.
Robert smiled and said, "Okay, don't be polite with me. I really have something to do. I have to go back to the army to report on my duties. Come over next time when you are free."
Sanya raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Why? Do you like people who love to laugh?"
The two younger brothers looked exactly like Sanya, delicate and handsome, but more sunny.
You Que looked at it for a moment and put the photo back on the table: "You looked pretty cool when you were a kid, unlike your two younger brothers. Your younger brothers smiled more often than you did."
Sangya's room is on the second floor. It has not been lived in for such a long time that I thought it was covered with dust. But when I opened the door, I found the bed and bedding were neatly made. It was obvious that it was taken care of regularly.
You Que noticed a photo frame on the table and picked it up to take a look: "Is this your family photo?"
Sanya walked over and pointed at the two elders in the front: "This is my female father and male father, and these two younger ones are my brothers, Lemi and Lexing. Calculating their ages... they should have joined the military now."
Sang Ya was suddenly pulled into You Que's arms and felt dizzy from the pheromones on his body. When the shower was turned on, the hot air filled the air and made him even more dizzy. He didn't even notice when his clothes were stripped off.
"Hmm... Youque..."
Sang Ya hugged You Que's neck, unable to open his eyes due to the hot water. He buried his head in the other's neck, and kissed upwards along the Adam's apple in a moment of passion. However, he was suddenly turned over by You Que and pressed against the tile wall, revealing the hideous scar on his back.
You Que hugged Sang Ya from behind, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and asked hoarsely in his ear: "How did you get the injury on your back? Tell me?"
He had been curious about these injuries since the first day he saw them, but Sangya refused to tell him. Now that he had finally arrived in the south, You Que's doubts reached their peak.
Sanya struggled to turn around, but Youque pressed her against the cold tile wall, unable to move. The male insect's deep and serious voice rang in her ears: "Speak."
Sanya pursed her lips and looked back at him. There were water drops on her eyelashes, and her lips became more red under the stimulation of the hot water. Against her pale skin, it was inevitable that people would think of the scene when they first met in the rain: "Can't we talk to you tonight?"
You Que lowered his eyes and bit him, his voice a little unclear: "Right now."
His bony hands slowly moved from Sanya's waist to his shoulder blades. The uneven scars seemed to silently tell the tragedy of that time, and even the gurgling water seemed to have turned into warm and sticky blood.
When I closed my eyes, I saw a blinding scarlet color.
Sang Ya frowned, somewhat reluctant to speak, but You Que suddenly lowered his head and kissed his scar. His hard teeth and tongue touched his skin, causing a panic tremor. His tone was unusually gentle: "Don't be afraid, tell me..."
Sang Ya's eyes inexplicably felt a little sore when he heard that. He lowered his head and clenched his fingertips tightly on the edge of the tile with such great force that his knuckles turned blue.
The female insect was without wings, which meant she was useless. Moreover, he had killed the male insect, which was a heinous crime...
In this era where male insects are the king, Sang Ya cannot be sure whether You Que really doesn't care, but the truth will come out one day.
He uttered a few words with difficulty:
"There… "
"It's my wings..." Sanya's voice was pale and weak, like a person in the snowy winter who could only try to describe the long-gone spring day with imagination and memories.
Hearing this, You Que remembered that all female insects in this world have wings, most likely located at the shoulder blades. He unconsciously stopped kissing her, and had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What's wrong with your wings?"
Wounded in battle? Or...
“It was taken away.”
Boom!
Sanya's simple words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking You Que and making his mind go blank. His pupils shrank, and he even suspected that he had misheard: "What was taken away?"
Sang Ya noticed You Que's stiffness and turned to look at him under the water. The bathroom was misty and neither of them could see each other's face clearly. However, their bodies seemed to have suddenly turned cold from the inside out, and pouring hot water on them was of no use.
"My wings were taken away."
Sanya didn't know why he could still be so calm. He held Youque's hand expressionlessly, slowly moved it to his back, and said in a hoarse voice: "Have you seen the wings of a southern female insect?"
"My wings are very beautiful, and many male insects want to collect them."
"What a pity I couldn't show you my wings..."
Their wings are so colorful and beautiful that they are regarded as a gift from the insect god. However, such beautiful wings have brought countless disasters.
Sanya twitched his lips in self-mockery: "Didn't you ask me why I left the South? When I was in the military, I accidentally offended a noble male insect. He bribed the doctor to peel off my wings while I was injured in the battlefield and hospitalized. This scar was left at that time..."
Upon hearing this, You Que suddenly felt cold from head to toe. He guessed that Sangya must have offended some enemy and was forced to leave the south, but he never expected that there was such a story behind it. Sangya's wings were actually peeled off alive!
You Que's expression suddenly turned ugly. His fingertips tightened unconsciously, even causing Sang Ya some pain. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Who is that male insect?"
Sanya felt the pain in his back, but did not avoid it. He looked up at You Que, his face was extremely pale under the light, but his tone was very serious:
"I killed him."
It is not appropriate to say that it was killed. It might be more accurate to say that it was chopped up and fed to the dogs.
At that moment, You Que clearly saw the coldness and murderous intent emanating from Sanya, and was stunned for a moment, unable to speak. However, the female insect reached out and slowly hugged him, her fingertips were cold, her body was trembling, and she was as helpless as a boat floating on the water: "You Que, I hate him."
"I wish he would die a thousand times or ten thousand times..."
"But you can't be afraid of me, Youque, you can't be afraid of me..."
Any male insect would feel more or less scared if he knew that his partner had killed a male insect with his own hands. Sanya is so evil, who knows if he will not kill Youque one day.
Sangya reached out and hugged Youque, with unprecedented strength, as if he was afraid that he would push him away. In a trance, it seemed as if something hot liquid fell from his eye sockets, but it was mixed with the water flow and it was not real: "Do you know how painful it was when my wings were peeled off? They dug out two of my wing bones alive..."
Sanya's voice was filled with deep hatred: "Youque... I would rather they kill me..."
"It's better to kill me than to live like this..."
The more he spoke, the more his body trembled, as if he was recalling the pain of lying on the operating table and being slaughtered by insects. His fingertips almost sank into Youque's flesh.
The sharp pain in his waist finally brought You Que back to his senses. He subconsciously hugged the trembling Sang Ya in his arms. He was shocked and angry to the extreme and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. What am I afraid of you doing?"
You Que hugged Sanya tightly, lowered his head and planted dense kisses on the female insect's cheek, trying to calm her down. All his caring words disappeared in their entangled lips and tongues: "Don't be afraid..."
Don’t be afraid…
You Que wondered why he would be afraid of Sang Ya. If the same thing happened to him, his situation would probably not be much better than Sang Ya's.
He could see that Sanya came from a well-off family, and his cousin Robert was a major. If Sanya was still in the military, his status would only be higher, not lower. He clearly had a bright future, but it was ruined into what it is now. Who wouldn't hate him
You Que was so angry for him.
Seeing You Que's frighteningly cold face, Sang Ya leaned against his forehead and whispered, "You Que, but I don't regret going to Saint-Riez... If I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have met you..."
But the price of this encounter was too tragic and it was not what You Que wanted.
"You killed the male insect. What if you come back now and get discovered?"
Sang Ya kissed You Que's cold lips and said, "My file is clean now. As long as they don't have a legitimate reason, they can't do anything to me even if they find out."
The most important thing is that his father is seriously ill, and Sanya can't just remain indifferent. Even if there is danger, he has to bite the bullet and come back.
After this episode, You Que was inevitably a little confused. He and Sang Ya took a shower and changed into clean clothes. He remembered something and pulled his hair up to look in the mirror. He saw that the black roots of his hair had grown out a little, but it was not very obvious.
Sanya noticed his movements and asked, "What are you taking pictures of?"
You Que let down his hair: "Nothing, didn't you ask me to dress neatly?"
Sang Ya walked over and straightened You Que's collar: "It's already very neat, the female father and others will like you."
Kroni was supposed to go to work today, but because his master was sick, he took a leave to take care of him in the hospital, so he came back early in the afternoon.
Kroni parked the aircraft in the yard and pushed the door open as usual. He was about to go into the kitchen to prepare dinner so that Lemi and Lexing, who worked in the military, would not come back hungry. However, as soon as he entered the house, he keenly noticed something was wrong.
Although the furnishings in the house had not changed, the smell of strange insects was unusually abrupt, and occasionally even a slight noise could be heard from upstairs.
Cronie's face changed:
Could it be that a thief broke in
