I Come from Afar Within the Zerg

Chapter 74: Sour taste

Views:

Johnny had a hunch that Han Yan's call to him must be for some bad reason, but he had no choice but to go upstairs. He first stood outside the half-open door and knocked gently. After getting Han Yan's permission, he pushed the door open and went in.

The lights in the room were already on, and the crystal lamp hanging above was dim, but the piles of documents on the desk made this place look more like an office than a place to sleep. Johnny walked up to Han Yan and said honestly, "Brother, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Han Yan stared at him quietly, and felt that Johnny had changed a lot, but when did he start to change? He tried to trace back the time and found that he seemed to have become like this since he stayed overnight in Prince Bape's mansion.

I stopped playing games and sleeping in, and suddenly fell in love with work.

Han Yan turned on his computer, adjusted his glasses, stared at the plan, and said, "Didn't I tell you that there will be a lot of discounts on the software recently, and asked you to contact the partners in advance? Why haven't you been there once?"

Johnny stammered, "I... I felt a little uncomfortable that day, so I asked Manager Shana to go. Is there something wrong?"

Han Yan didn't answer him, but slowly scrolled through the pages of his laptop, his voice was emotionless as always: "Last time when I was negotiating with the partner about the software cover advertisement, I told you to go with me, but you didn't go. Are you having a stomachache again?"

Johnny scratched his head in confusion and blinked: "No, it was my leg that time."

Han Yan paused when he heard this, then slowly raised his eyes and looked directly at him. Behind the glasses, his eyes were slightly cold, and he asked calmly, "Do you think I'm kidding you?"

Johnny subconsciously stood up straight when he saw this, and at the same time secretly wailed in his heart. He knew that Han Yan was different from his father and father, and would not be fooled by coquetry. Yet he still rushed to act cute in front of him. Wasn't he asking for a beating

Johnny simply bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Brother, I was wrong, you can deduct my salary."

Han Yan smiled gently, very bewitchingly: "When has my brother ever lied to you?"

Johnny asked tentatively, "What if I accidentally tagged Prince Pape?"

Seeing Johnny's fair face getting redder and redder, almost bleeding, Han Yan calmly tapped the table with his fingers and asked without emotion, "Are you together?"

The door was soundproof. Although Gain had been guarding outside, he had no idea what was going on inside. Seeing Johnny running out in a panic, holding his legs and asking for help, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked subconsciously, "What happened?"

Han Yan will definitely beat him to death, beat him until shit comes out!

Johnny scrambled out of the room, but he accidentally fell because he was too panicked. He happened to see Gain standing at the door, and he immediately rushed over to hug his legs as if he had seen a savior, crying, "Gain! Help! Help! My brother is going to beat me to death!"

"Prince Pape looked a little strange when he was drunk. He suddenly said he was not feeling well and hurried upstairs to his room. I was worried and followed him to see him. I found that his ovulation period had arrived..."

Johnny: "Let me make a deal first. You can't hit me."

He tagged your cousin.

's cousin.

Han Yan smiled and said, "How do you know I can't solve it if you don't tell me?"

As Han Yan finished speaking, the air instantly fell into silence. Johnny looked up at Han Yan in surprise, only to see him cross his legs and slowly lean back in his chair. He said calmly, "Tell me, what happened between you two?"

“Plop!”

Johnny shook his head honestly: "No."

I hope that his meager salary will make Han Yan, the profiteer, go easy on him.

With a "click", the door was quietly closed by Gain who came in, completely cutting off Johnny's hope of survival.

However, he obviously overestimated Han Yan's conscience. Not only did the latter not stop while he was ahead, but he also lightly said, "The partner on those two occasions was Prince Pape, so you don't want to go?"

Johnny actually doesn't remember what happened at the time. He just remembers that it was quite comfortable. He didn't move much during the whole process. It was Prince Bape who moved...

Han Yan raised his hand to adjust his glasses. He had never been so angry in his life. Seeing Johnny's panic, he spoke in a calm voice, persuading him, "We are brothers. Is there anything you can't tell Big Brother? Tell me, and Big Brother will help you solve it."

Han Yan folded his arms, leaned against the door frame, and said lightly, "Nothing."

Before Jia Yin could breathe a sigh of relief, Han Yan added casually, "He marked your uncle."

Johnny hesitated for a moment after hearing this. Han Yan was indeed very capable. Maybe he really had a solution. He asked with a half-doubt, "Are you sure?"

For the next three hours, Johnny sat on the carpet with a depressed look on his face, accepting Han Yan's comprehensive interrogation. He had no choice but to tell the truth about that night, and hesitantly said: "At the banquet that day, the two of you left, leaving me, a bug, there..."

This action caused Johnny's pheromones to be released uncontrollably. After all, female insects and male insects influence each other. Although there is a big age difference between them, they both know nothing about this matter, so how can they control themselves

Uncle...

Han Yan patted the dust off his hands and was about to go into the house, but he saw that Jia Yin was still in shock and could not recover from his shock. He said calmly, "Come in too, and close the door."

Han Yan was mentally prepared.

Han Yan's words were so powerful that Gain's pupils shrank when he heard them. He subconsciously looked at Johnny, but the latter was already ready to slip away. Seeing this, Han Yan grabbed his collar and threw Johnny into the room as easily as throwing a ball.

Johnny immediately took two steps back and shook his head: "I don't."

Han Yan's conscience didn't hurt. His eyes behind the lenses were indifferent. He only uttered two words: "Continue."

The prince's face turned red with embarrassment, and he tried his best to drive him out, but because of his physical condition, he staggered and finally fell into Johnny's arms.

After a three-second silence, Han Yan suddenly stood up from his chair with a whoosh. Before he could do anything, Johnny was frightened by his action and immediately ran out of the door, shouting heartbreakingly: "Come here! Help! Big Brother is going to beat me to death! Come and save me quickly! Quick!!"

Johnny still shook his head vigorously: "You can't solve it."

Johnny hid behind Gain and shook his head when he heard it: You can't go out, you will be beaten to death if you go out!

Jia Yin avoided Johnny's hand without leaving a trace, looked at Han Yan and asked, "Master Xiong, what happened just now?"

Johnny lowered his head, and I don't know if it was because he was nervous or something else, but his ears and neck were red. "Prince Pape said it was late, so he would let me stay overnight and send me home tomorrow. As a result, the two of us sat on the sofa and chatted, and I accidentally drank too much..."

Han Yan readily agreed: "Okay, no need to fight."

When Johnny said this, he suddenly recalled that night when Prince Pape, who was gentle and noble during the day, looked around the room for inhibitors with a flushed face, but he couldn't find any. He could only unbutton his clothes to relieve the burning sensation. But he was ignorant and thought he was sick, so he approached him and asked foolishly if he needed help to find a doctor.

Your cousin.

Han Yan just happened to walk out slowly, leaning against the door frame, his expression unchanged. But when he saw Johnny holding Gain's legs, he frowned slightly and said two words lightly: "Come out."

Johnny fell to the ground, but he didn't struggle. Instead, he lay down quietly and waited for death.

"… "

In the morning afterwards, he only remembered that Prince Pape looked ashamed and embarrassed, but also somewhat satisfied. He sighed and said, "Child, forget what happened last night..."

But it was obvious that Johnny hadn't forgotten it yet.

He only knew that he couldn't play games or eat takeout now, so he could only hope to work so that he could forget about the incident as soon as possible.

Han Yan thought it was just a fleeting romance. He thought the two bugs were secretly together. He used the cursor to exit the light brain page and still cared about his business: "Since you are not together, I hope you will not bring irrelevant emotions to work next time. If you want to avoid all cooperation with Prince Pape, you don't have to go to the company tomorrow. I don't keep idle bugs."

Johnny knew that Han Yan was trying to hit him, so he nodded and whispered, "I understand, big brother."

Han Yan didn't have any polite words to say. After asking the question, the matter was over: "Get out." "Oh."

Johnny immediately got up from the ground, turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Gain said nothing from beginning to end. After all, it was a matter concerning his elders, and it was not convenient for him to comment on it. Besides, Johnny was too young, and his conditions were quite different from those of Prince Pape in all aspects. From any perspective, they were not suitable to be together.

Han Yan saw Jia Yin sitting beside him in a daze, so he woke him up and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Gain came back to his senses and shook his head: "I'm just worried that if you hand the work over to Johnny, there might be some mistakes."

Han Yan said, "He will not make any mistakes when working with Prince Pape. He will only be more careful than before. Now the project is stable and there will be no major problems."

Ke Jiayin always felt that Han Yan was busier than before. It was not appropriate to say that he was busy. Most of the time, he was always watching live streams on Starnet. He slowly walked up to him and asked, "Are you busy with any new projects recently?"

Han Yan hummed and did not hide it from him: "I am developing new software."

After the food delivery software was successfully developed and promoted, Han Yan no longer paid much attention to it. He knew that it was only a matter of time before it became popular among the masses, so he turned his attention to short video platforms.

Han Yan discovered that the main star did not have a completely independent video viewing software, and 99% of the time it had to rely on the Star Network. However, the video recommendation rules of the Star Network had many loopholes, which prevented many potential anchors from becoming popular, and the reward and sales mechanism was also very simple.

All in all, there is huge profit in development here.

However, Han Yan has not made any big moves at the moment. He is just testing the waters. He still needs to wait for the funds to be recovered. When the traffic of the food delivery software matures, he can then directly direct it to the short video platform.

Gain: "Is it related to those anchors?"

Han Yan would occasionally tease him when he had some free time: "Guess."

Gain smiled and shook his head: "I can't guess."

He could probably guess that Han Yan was screening high-quality anchors with potential. The short video content that the other party had seen had changed from the borderline hot dance some time ago to interesting reviews, and then from interesting reviews to knowledge popularization, covering a very wide range.

Han Yan thought that it was right that he couldn't guess it. If it was so easy to guess, how could he do business? He just happened to see a short video about the popular science of polluted source stones. He suddenly asked, "It's been so long since the army returned from the Soridian jungle. What are the empire's plans for the future?"

Gain was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower, but he paused when he heard this. "We originally planned to clear out the mutants in the jungle to prevent them from roaming around and causing uncontrollable harm, but after an autopsy, we found that the animals were gradually completing self-purification and would return to normal soon."

Han Yan asked casually, "What about the trees?"

He remembered that a science video said that trees can also mutate.

Gain shook his head slightly. "Those mutant trees have not produced self-purification. We are still observing them. If there is still no movement, we can only send troops to eradicate them. They release toxins every time they encounter the rainy season. It is very dangerous."

Han Yan didn't ask any more questions, only said: "If you are sure to send troops to eradicate it, let me know in advance."

He still has an old friend to find.

Jia Yin didn't think much about it, thinking that Han Yan was going to do some weird business again. He responded and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up. However, when he was about to close the door, he was suddenly blocked by a hand.

Han Yan turned off his laptop at some point and followed behind Gain. He pressed his bony right hand against the glass door, then slowly opened it under the gaze of the female insect and walked directly in. When the bathroom door was closed, his vague and low voice was blocked: "Together."

Tonight, Ademon was comforting his two female queens who had been alone for a long time, and Han Yan was also feeding his sensitive female queen. The only one who couldn't sleep was Johnny. In the same room, there were also male insects, but they performed completely different insect life forms.

It was Han Yan's day off, and he had planned to go see how the new house was being renovated. However, before he could even leave the house, he was blocked by two uninvited guests, who happened to be the president of the commerce guild and his beloved insect cub, Foren... Oh, the one who deliberately locked Gain in the locker room at the last banquet.

The commerce president's visit this time was full of sincerity. He carried large and small bags of gifts in his hands, which looked very valuable. It was a pity that Han Yan did not hire any servants. The rest of the insects in the house were at work, out playing, or doing their work. Han Yan was the only one left at home, so naturally there was no insect to help him carry the gifts.

"What are you doing here for?"

Han Yan was blocked by them, but he did not refuse them. Instead, he turned around and led them into the living room. He sat down on the sofa calmly, his eyes behind the glasses full of interest, intending to see what tricks these two bugs were going to play.

Seeing that there were no other bugs in Han Yan's house, the president of the trade guild had to put the gifts he brought on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Since we said goodbye in a hurry at Prince Pape's house last time, I still have a lot to say to you. I hope you won't blame me for visiting you rashly today."

Han Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he didn't comment. His lukewarm attitude did not discourage the trade president's enthusiasm, but instead made him more enthusiastic to establish a relationship with him. In the end, he practiced Tai Chi for a while before finally hesitatingly revealing the real reason for his visit: "I heard that the food delivery app that is popular recently is your work. You are really young and promising. I just happened to open a few restaurants recently and I also want to try to get in, but I don't know why I have been rejected, so I came to ask you for the reason."

People die for money and birds die for food. This sentence also applies to insects.

Han Yan tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, thinking that this was the reason. He smiled and said, "The entry of merchants has always been reviewed by our staff. If it is rejected, it only means that the procedures are incomplete. I am afraid I can't help with this matter."

The president of the trade association was secretly worried when he saw this. He originally thought that Han Yan was a young man who was easy to control, but he was more cunning than a fox. The gifts on the table might not move him at all. He sighed and pretended to be miserable, "We have all the procedures, but every time there is a problem with the safety quality inspection or the business qualification. I really have no choice. Please be flexible."

The president of the trade guild said this, and he pushed Fulun who was sitting next to him. The latter immediately understood what he meant, half-knelt beside the table and poured a cup of tea for Han Yan, then served it with both hands, deliberately softening his voice and saying pitifully: "Sir, my mother has been very busy with the restaurant business recently. Please help me think of a solution. I will repay you even if I have to work like a cow or a horse."

Han Yan didn't look at him, nor did he take the cup of tea. Instead, he lowered his eyes and nonchalantly lit a cigarette. His slender fingertips played with the silver lighter, and the sparks flickered and made crisp sounds again and again: "Live like a slave?"

The man chewed on these four words slowly, as if he had tasted a hint of interest: "How do you want to be treated like a slave?"

Last time, Foren locked Gain in the locker room, and Han Yan hadn’t settled the score yet, but he flew over and crashed into the fire. Was he stupid or naive

When Furen heard that there was a play, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment. The President of the Trade Association immediately made an excuse to go out and see the scenery of the garden, and "thoughtfully" left them two some space to be alone.

Fulun half-knelt on the ground, his fingertips fell on Han Yan's left leg, and gently drew a circle, which was very suggestive. He bit his lip unconsciously and said, "Everything is up to your command."

Han Yan exhaled a puff of pale smoke and closed his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. He flicked the ash with his fingertips and thought to himself that not only are people different, but female insects are also different.

This female insect did not arouse any desire in him.

His heart was as still as dead water.

Fulun waited for a long time without seeing Han Yan's move, and he couldn't help feeling anxious. He deliberately rubbed the male insect's knees with his chest, and his fingertips slowly moved upwards, his voice becoming more and more gentle: "Sir~"

"… "

Han Yan smoked calmly and was thinking about other things. He was wondering why his desires were controlled by another female insect.

Furen continued to tease unwillingly, but his fingertips accidentally touched the man's right leg. He was caught off guard and was coldly knocked to the ground by Han Yan. When he fell, he accidentally knocked the table over, making a harsh sound.

"boom!"

Fulun fell to the ground, looking at Han Yan with wide eyes in shock: "Sir?!"

Why did this male insect keep rejecting me? ! How could he be inferior to that crippled Gain? !

Han Yan put out his cigarette expressionlessly, and suddenly felt a little uninterested. He stood up from the sofa and was about to ask the guests to leave, but unexpectedly, Fulun rushed over and hugged his legs in a panic: "Sir, please don't reject me, okay? If I do something that you are not satisfied with, you can tell me directly, and I will definitely change it!"

This female insect was incredibly strong. Just when Han Yan was thinking about whether he should knock it out with a palm, he saw that Furen's body was suddenly blown away by an invisible mental force, and hit the wall heavily. He fell to the ground with a groan.

This scene happened so suddenly that Han Yan subconsciously looked towards the door, only to see a slender figure in military uniform. Jia Yin stood silently outside the door, the shadow of his hat brim covering most of his face, watching the scene with a gloomy expression, wondering what he was thinking.
