People who know Lu Yuan would never guess that he is gay. He likes to look at beautiful women when he walks on the street. His behavior is completely straight and has nothing to do with gay. But just like a road is straight and the earth is round, not being able to see it does not mean it does not exist. It only means that Lu Yuan is more curvy than others.
Although Yusitu was a Zerg, he looked no different from a human male. His actions that seemed to be teasing had slightly touched Lu Yuan's sensitive nerves.
This is not good.
Lu Yuan thought.
Seeing that he rejected him, Justu asked again: "Is it really impossible?"
Lu Yuan was unmoved: "No."
"Okay," Justu seemed a little helpless. He looked down at the fish still twitching on the chopping board, "but I really don't know how to cut it."
Lu Yuan was not a fool, and he was not so easy to fool. He glanced at him and said, "Are all the female soldiers of Salilanfa unable to use a knife like you?"
This sentence was a bit hurtful, but Justu rubbed his wrist and sighed, "Originally I knew how to use a knife, but I copied some things until late at night yesterday, and my wrist ached. Today, when I held the knife, it was shaking. What do you think I should do in this situation, sir?"
Copy something? What? It was just Lu Yuan's punishment of copying 500 times.
He originally thought that his craftsmanship was bad enough, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan's was even worse.
Justu said nothing from beginning to end, quietly watching Lu Yuan's actions, until the fish soup entered the simmering stage, then he asked, "Don't you think it's beneath your dignity to cook by yourself?"
Yoriga gnashed his teeth silently when he heard this. This guy Justu hasn't even taken Lord Lu Yuan into his pocket yet, but he's already started to protect him? Most male insects are heartless. I hope he will fall hard on this male insect in the future!
Lu Yuan spoke in a gangster tone: "Then let them starve."
Lu Yuan asked back: "Why?"
In the Salilan Empire, male insects would never cook by themselves, otherwise it would be considered a disgraceful act. However, Lu Yuan seemed not to care at all. He tasted all the strange side dishes on the table, and then picked out a few that could remove the fishy smell and marinate the fish.
Justu had been waiting quietly for Lu Yuan's reaction. After a few seconds, the other party said nothing. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves without saying a word and began to gut the fish skillfully. The whole process was orderly and the female insects watching around were all stunned.
The appearance of the yellow ginger fruit looks like a wrinkled, dehydrated, hard persimmon. When Lu Yuan first saw it, he thought it was a rotten fruit. After taking a bite, he found that it tasted very similar to ginger.
The Zerg have absolutely no such concept.
Lu Yuan had already started to heat up the oil in the pan. He kicked the tip of Yustu's shoe under the table, signaling the red-eyed rabbit to be less aggressive. He explained to Yoriga, "This stuff can remove the fishy smell."
Justu was startled.
Yusitu seemed to curl his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "They think that only female insects would do this."
Before Lu Yuan could say anything, he heard Yusitu say in a cold voice, "You'd better get full marks in your cooking class before questioning his methods."
Yoriga suddenly realized, that's what he said, how could a male insect cook? It was probably an "innovative dish" developed by Lu Yuan himself, and the taste would probably not be much better than dark cuisine. He really couldn't imagine the taste of fish soup cooked with yellow galangal, it would probably be spicy and fishy.
Lu Yuan fried the fish in a pan, then poured in an appropriate amount of boiling water, shrugged, and said to Yoriga: "I did it blindly, you don't have to pay attention to me."
Lu Yuan hated being threatened the most in his life, but when he looked at the faint dark blue and tiredness under Justu's eyes, his long-dead conscience actually felt a rare pang: "..."
Lu Yuan said without even turning his head: "You asked me what to do. My wrist hurts, of course I should rest. What else can I do?"
Lu Yuan's cooking method was completely different from that of Teacher Lachia. Although there were many ingredients on the table, the teacher might not use every ingredient, but Lu Yuan used all of them. Yoriga was stunned by what he saw, and his expression was twitching. He hesitated and asked, "Sir, the taste of the yellow cinnamon fruit is very pungent. It is usually used when cooking spicy soup. Wouldn't it taste good if you put it in the fish's belly?"
Yoriga was bewildered when he heard this: "Go... go away?"
Lu Yuan didn't know how to explain this word to them. After all, all the Zerg ingredients were strange in shape, like genetically mutated species, and even he himself didn't know what they would make.
Seeing this, Justu subconsciously asked, "What are you doing?"
Just starve to death!
Lu Yuan vaguely remembered that when he was a child, the situation at home was similar. His gambling father was a male chauvinist and didn't do any housework. His mother was so sick that she couldn't even get out of bed, but she still had to take care of him, feed him, and dress him. In the end, she died in her forties due to her health problems.
Lu Yuan thought carefully about his father's life and suddenly realized that he was quite lucky. He was independent at 30, had no doubts at 40, and was in prison at 50. Before he could pick up a knife and kill that bastard, he had already hidden in prison. It was really a big regret in life.
If Lu Yuan had not traveled through time to the Zerg, he might have repeated his father's old path, spent his decades in jail, and then the father and son would happily meet in prison.
When Youstu heard Lu Yuan's answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head and whispered, "What a pity..."
But he didn't say what a pity it was.
Lu Yuan was about to ask when the pot started to bubble. The milky white fish soup looked smooth and delicate. When the lid was opened, the delicious smell of fish soup gradually spread throughout the classroom. All the female insects sniffed at the same time: What's that smell? It smells so good!
They had a keen sense of smell and quickly followed the smell to find Lu Yuan's table. They gathered in groups of three or four, crowding the area so tightly that no one could get through.
A female soldier boldly asked, "Sir, is this the soup you made? It smells so good!"
There was also a female soldier who was plotting something bad, and she blushed and hinted, "Yes, yes, can you teach us?"
Unfortunately, Justu had already used this trick. He glanced at the female soldier who was speaking and said meaningfully, "Little brother, Teacher Lachia is on the podium. If he knew that you didn't ask him, he would be sad~"
The female soldier obviously knew his identity and lowered her head unconvinced, but did not dare to refute him out loud.
Lu Yuan was not aware of the tense atmosphere in the air. He added some salt to the pot, then scooped out a small bowl of fish soup. He tasted it first and found that it tasted similar to what he had made on Earth before.
Lu Yuan handed the bowl to Yousitu and asked casually, "Do you want to try it?"
Justu looked down at the bowl in his hand, but didn't refuse. He took it and took a sip, then frowned slightly and fell into deep thought with a complicated expression:
Damn it, why is Lu Yuan's cooking better than that of a female insect?! How long will it take me to practice to catch up with him?!
Yoriga was drooling with greed. He decisively abandoned his pot of greasy stew and joined Lu Yuan's camp without hesitation. He asked eagerly, "Sir, can I try it too?"
Lu Yuan was very generous and directly handed him the soup spoon and let him serve himself.
Yoriga's reaction was much more direct than Justu's. After tasting the fish soup, his eyes lit up instantly. Without even saying a word, he used chopsticks to frantically put fish into his bowl, and said vaguely, "Sir, your cooking skills are really great. It's more than ten times more delicious than what Teacher Lachia makes!"
The female soldiers around were already greedy, and when they heard what Yoriga said, they were even more greedy, and the sound of swallowing saliva was endless. Lu Yuan couldn't just pretend he didn't see it, so he stepped back and made room for him, saying, "If you want to drink, you can try it..."
There's still a lot in the pot anyway.
However, before Lu Yuan could finish the second half of his sentence, the female soldiers immediately started to serve the soup. It is no exaggeration to say that in the blink of an eye, only a little soup base and some minced meat were left in the pot, because the spoon was too big to scoop it up.
After tasting the food from the bowls, the female insects all showed surprised expressions. They obviously didn't expect Lu Yuan's cooking skills to be so good:
"Sir, your cooking skills are even better than those of the royal chef!" "It's so delicious. This dish deserves full marks. How did you do it?"
Teacher Lachia also smelled the aroma of the fish soup. Seeing that the students were gathered at the back of the classroom, he walked down from the podium, stretched out his hand to push aside the "crowd" and saw that the source of the aroma was the pot of fish soup in front of him, which had been snatched away by everyone and only the residue was left.
"Hey, what a delicious fish soup, it's actually milky white?"
Teacher Lachia was very interested in food. When he saw the remaining soup in the pot, he scooped it up with a spoon and took a sip. His eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief and said, "Sir, is this the fish soup you made? It's so delicious!"
Lu Yuan didn't say anything after hearing this, but glanced at the two female insects beside him whose skills were terrible and needed to be retaken, thought for a moment, and unexpectedly shook his head and said, "No."
Lu Yuan pointed at Justu and then at Yoriga, feeling that there would never be another brother in the world as loyal as him: "They cooked it together, and I helped cut the vegetables."
“???!”
Justu and Yoriga didn't expect that Lu Yuan would directly give them the credit. They almost choked on their saliva when they heard it and burst into a violent coughing fit. They quickly covered their lips with their hands and looked away guiltily.
Teacher Lachia was impressed by these two "excellent students" who were terrible at cooking. Hearing this, she frowned in confusion, seeming a little surprised: "Oh? Really? Are you sure, sir?"
Lu Yuan knew that cheating required courage and he could not feel guilty even if he was beaten to death, so he said calmly, "Yes."
Teacher Lachia seemed to understand something after hearing this. He looked back and forth between them. He hissed and asked jokingly, "So, should I give them both full marks?"
Justu didn't dare to say anything. Lu Yuan rarely saw him so nervous and nervous, so he couldn't help but laugh. He said to Teacher Lachia, "If you want, just let them pass."
Teacher Lachia glanced at Lu Yuan with a hint of surprise in his eyes. After all, he had never seen a male insect willing to help a female insect. Hearing this, he shook his head helplessly and shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Why not? After all, this dish is so delicious, any teacher would give it full marks."
Teacher Lachia was unwilling to admit that she was so angry at these two students with very poor talent that her heart ached. She wanted to get rid of the pain as soon as possible, so she said to Justu and Yoriga: "Congratulations, you finally passed. Maybe I will consider giving you an 'excellent' grade when I grade you at the end of the year."
Justu and Yoriga looked at each other after hearing this, and both saw disbelief in each other's eyes. They had originally thought that they would have to fight to the end with this course, but in the end, they just passed it like this? ?
#Happiness comes too suddenly!! #
Justu was the first to come back to his senses. He coughed softly and nodded slightly to Teacher Lachia, saying, "Thank you for your recognition."
Yoriga followed suit: "Thank you very much for your recognition."
Teacher Lachia shook her head helplessly: "Remember to practice your lessons diligently when you go home, otherwise don't say that you are my students."
While they were talking, the bell for the end of get out of class rang in the corridor. Seeing that it was getting late, Teacher Lachia announced the end of get out of class. The originally quiet classroom suddenly became noisy, even mixed with the cheers of students. It seemed that they really didn't like cooking.
Lu Yuan squeezed out of the circle of female insects with difficulty. He finally felt that he could breathe more smoothly when he got outside the classroom. He was in a hurry to go to the Academic Affairs Office to change classes. Just as he was about to go downstairs, Yusitu suddenly stopped him from behind and asked jokingly, "Sir, where are you in such a hurry to go? Don't you even want to copy your own punishment?"
Lu Yuan said anxiously, "I'll go to the Academic Affairs Office to change classes first, and then I'll find you in class later."
Damn it, the next class is slimming yoga, it will be too late if I don’t quit now!
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he hurriedly waved goodbye to Justu, and without even waiting for the elevator, he ran downstairs like a gust of wind.
Yoriga happened to come out of the classroom and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he saw this: "Hey, is the insect planet going to explode? Lord Lu Yuan is running as if he is trying to escape for his life."
Justu shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. His eyes fell on the place where Lu Yuan was going. After a few seconds, he retracted his gaze and said to Yoriga, "Let's go back to class."
Yoriga noticed that Justu was distracted, and after a moment of silence, he asked curiously, "Justu, are you missing that male insect?"
Yusitu frowned subconsciously: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yoriga shrugged, having long been accustomed to his stubbornness: "Love should not be concealed, this is the teaching of the insect god, not to mention that the male insect is indeed excellent..."
He paused and sighed, "Justu, it would be great if His Majesty could match you with him. It's a pity that there is still no accurate number for the purity of Lord Lu Yuan's blood. Otherwise..."
Otherwise you might be a very good match.
The next sentence was not uttered.
The matching threshold of the royal family is too high. If there is no blood advantage, then you can only rely on blood purity. Yusitu is still under the control of the Insect Emperor and is the most promising insect among the several princes to inherit the throne. If he wants to be with a civilian male insect, it will be difficult.
Justu frowned upon hearing this, but did not refute it out loud, obviously knowing that this was not an easy task. He leaned against the wall of the corridor without saying a word, the shadow bisecting him from the shoulders, his expression was gloomy and unclear, and after a long time he finally spoke in a deep voice: "The throne of the Gonghedra family has never been obtained through charity. We have been fighting for it, fighting all the time, because our ancestors once taught us that truly rare treasures will not be obtained easily, you must pay an equal price."
And how much should he pay for a male insect as rare as Lu Yuan
Justu didn't know, this was an unknown answer.
Yoriga sighed and was about to say something when he inadvertently glanced and saw a familiar figure appear at the end of the corridor. He walked with a limp, and although he couldn't see the face clearly, he inexplicably exuded a sense of loneliness.
Yoriga nudged Justu gently and said, "Look, is that the Eighth Prince?"
Justu paused after hearing this, and then looked in the direction he was looking. He then hummed without any emotion, "It's him."
Although they were brothers, he had no intention of going over to say hello.
Yoriga shook his head slightly: "Ever since the Eighth Prince was injured on the battlefield, his personality has become more and more withdrawn, and he has been alienating you and Your Majesty. Now even those female insects from third-rate noble families dare to bully him."
Yusitu frowned slightly: "Don't we inspect discipline every day?"
Yoriga scratched his hair in confusion: "You know the character of the Eighth Prince. He doesn't even appreciate you, let alone us."
Justu turned his head and looked away, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic. He stood up slightly and was about to go back to class with Yoriga, when the terminal on his wrist suddenly beeped twice and a message popped up.
Justu opened it and saw that it was a secret letter from the chief of the palace guards. It only had one simple line of words on it:
[Duke Monk went to the palace this morning to request an audience with the Insect Emperor. Return quickly!]
Yusitu's face changed slightly when he saw this, and he thought to himself that it was not good. The old man must have gone directly to the palace to complain to the Insect Emperor in order to seek justice for Wenger. If the Insect Emperor was deceived by his words, Lu Yuan would have to be imprisoned in the interstellar prison for a few months at the least.
Seeing that Justu looked solemn, Yoriga subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Justu didn't have time to explain: "I have something to do and need to go to the palace. Please ask the teacher for leave for me. If Lu Yuan comes to see me in class, you can give him the things in my drawer."
After saying this, he turned around and hurried downstairs. He disappeared immediately, running faster than the distance he had traveled.
