After that, Tang Yan worked normally in the military. After the male insect he knocked out woke up in the hospital, he clamored to sue Tang Yan in the interstellar court, causing a small disturbance, but fortunately, Admiral Ilvisa used some connections to suppress it.
"Mr. Tang Yan, I was having a private conversation with the lawyer in my office that day, so I don't know what happened. But anyway, thank you for calming down the storm."
Admiral Ilvisa is the supreme commander of the First Army. On the surface, he is more like a gentle and shrewd businessman, but he is not as good as a female soldier fighting on the battlefield. But it is obvious that there are very few female insects who can successfully divorce male insects and save themselves in this era. Ilvisa's methods can be underestimated and are not as harmless as they seem.
Early that morning, he called Tang Yan to his office.
"I'm sorry, for some reason, I can't exempt you from social service, but as compensation, from today on you can freely enter and leave the military, and you will be subject to the same control as other male insects."
Admiral Ilviza opened the drawer beside him and took out a document signed by him and handed it to Tang Yan. As long as Tang Yan handed the document to the Security Department for filing, he could live in the military headquarters every day and go anywhere he wanted in his free time.
Tang Yan realized later that he seemed to have a cheap father in his family. He took the document and habitually thanked him: "Thank you."
Admiral Ilvisa wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose, which made him look more elegant, and only the faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes revealed his age. The crystal white orchid totem on the shoulder strap was warm and peaceful.
"You are just as Shelain said, very special." For some reason, Admiral Ilvisa's voice was filled with regret.
It's a pity that Tang Yan is only a C-level male insect. If his level is higher, even if it is upgraded to B-level, with the means and power of the Xielaine family, they can find a way to match his power.
But God's arrangements are sometimes so absurd.
Tang Yan knew what Admiral Ilvisa was thinking. He just raised his eyes when the other party mentioned Xie Lain, and then said goodbye and left.
Xie Lane received a training mission yesterday and needed to lead new soldiers to the field for training. He might not be back for two days. Tang Yan calculated and found that he had been in the military headquarters for a long time. It was just the right time to go home and get some clothes.
Of course, the most important thing is whether my cheap dad has starved to death. I really hope he is still alive and well.
A new day has begun, the sun is warm and the air is fresh.
Topaz washed up as usual, put on a discounted apron she bought on Star Online, and prepared to start doing housework.
He wet the mop and wrung it out like a hardworking little bee, then bent over and mopped every corner of the room carefully, busying himself back and forth. Finally, he still felt it was not enough, so he mopped it twice more until the floor was dust-free and shiny enough to reflect the shadows of insects. Only then did he stop.
After finishing the cleaning, Topaz wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly exhaled.
He wanted to do the same, but he received news last night that his hapless and cruel bug cub would be "released from prison" today.
Thinking of Tang Yan kicking the broken housework robot in the corner, Topaz shuddered and suddenly felt full of energy. Doing housework is indeed tiring, but it is better than being kicked to pieces by Tang Yan, and doing it every day seems to... seem to be used to it
After all, it's really boring to stay at home and do nothing, and you may sleep all day.
After Topaz finished cleaning, he went out with his basket, ready to go to the supermarket to buy groceries.
That's right, it was to buy groceries. Tang Yan, that damned son of a bitch, went to the military headquarters and took away all the star coins in the house, leaving only the money for daily groceries for him.
If Topaz continued to dine at high-end restaurants as he did before, then congratulations, he could wait to starve to death in the remaining days. Under the pressure of reality and life, he had been forced to learn how to buy groceries and cook.
The vegetables in the Star Market were cheap today. When Topaz came out with a basket full of vegetables, he felt the remaining money in his pocket, thought for a long time, and then went to the dessert shop across the street.
Male insects always love delicate little desserts.
When Topaz walked over, he found a long queue of female insects waiting to buy things for their male masters. But luckily, the male insects didn't queue up, so Topaz used the remaining Hundred Star Coins to buy two limited edition strawberry cakes.
One for him and one for Tang Yan.
Although the bug cubs are very cruel, they are our own cubs after all, so we can despise them. It is also very hard to be in prison.
Topaz was in a hurry to go back to make lunch, so he walked in a hurry. When he turned around, he accidentally knocked something over. When he reacted and looked down, he found that it was a female insect cub.
The bug cub was only about as tall as Topaz's knees, skinny and small, and cried when it fell to the ground. Its light brown eyes were large and bright, and it looked up at Topaz helplessly, then backed away. Its skin was too pale, and it looked a little weak.
There is a recognized fact in the Chris Empire: sub-females can be weak, male insects can be weak, but female insects must not be weak. Because weakness means that this female insect may go to the battlefield, and no male insect will marry a female insect without military merit.
The only family that was able to occupy a place in the empire by virtue of blood ties and naturally weak constitutions, but with extraordinary business skills, was the Ilvisa family.
"Oh, poor bug-baby."
Topaz shrugged his shoulders. He really liked cute bugs, but the one at home was too ferocious. He bent down and helped the bug up from the ground, then sighed, feeling a little depressed.
He clearly remembered that Tang Yan was also very cute when he was a child, so why did he become more cruel as he grew up
Topaz found a piece of cake covered in dust on the ground. He looked at the cake crumbs at the corner of Bug's mouth and realized that he might have knocked it off. Although he was a little reluctant, he still took out a piece of strawberry cake from his bag and put it in Bug's hand.
"Eat it, little bug, this is a limited edition."
Topaz ruffled his furry hair and walked away with his basket, but he didn't notice a slender female insect standing in the distance, watching everything he did.
"Joan."
A shadow suddenly fell over the young insect's head. He turned around and saw that it was the female father, who reached out to hug him. The female insect in military uniform also took him into her arms.
The bug cub took a bite of the cake in his hand, and passed it to the female father's mouth, and whispered in a milky voice: "It's delicious..."
He shimmied slightly on his toes.
"Joan, eat by yourself. The female father is hungry."
The female soldier wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and looked very gentle. He patted the bug cub's head, then looked thoughtfully in the direction Topaz left before turning away. The pattern on the shoulder badge was a crystal white orchid, which sparkled in the sun.
When Topaz returned home, he heard some noise coming from the kitchen. He walked in and saw Tang Yan coming back without knowing when, cutting vegetables and cooking. He asked in surprise, "Tang Yan, when did you get out of prison?"
He thought Tang Yan would not be back until the evening.
Tang Yan paused while cutting vegetables when he heard this, and frowned at Topaz. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the word "out of prison", so he corrected him emotionally, "out of the military."
Okay, leave the military.
Topaz put the basket on the ground. He wanted to show off his fatherly style and teach Tang Yan something like "reform yourself and become a new insect". But because of the cold aura around him, he hesitated for a moment and said stutteringly, "I clean the house every day..."
Tang Yan thought to himself that he had no intention of beating him up, and wondered why Topaz looked so frightened. He didn't even bat an eyelid, and said calmly, "I understand. I'll cook for you today."
He believed in equal distribution of labor, and since Topaz was responsible for cleaning the house during this period, he would be responsible for the meals.
Topaz had no time to think about when Tang Yan learned to cook. He was just secretly glad that he no longer had to worry. He walked to the living room with a shaky step, tilted his body, and fell comfortably on the sofa.
God of Insects, he is really exhausted today.
Tang Yan's mother in the real world died of illness more than a year ago, causing him to forget what it feels like to have someone at home. But it seems to be okay, good, but also bad.
Tang Yan walked out of the kitchen with a dish in his hand, his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing a section of his sturdy forearms. He didn't know if it was an illusion, he had been in the military for a while, and many changes had quietly occurred to his body, but he didn't notice it.
When Topaz smelled the aroma of the food, he immediately jumped off the sofa and walked to the dining table to sit down. Insect God, he hadn't had a normal meal for a long time. It was either mushy or salty. He didn't expect that Tang Yan's cooking tasted good.
Seeing that Topaz had calmed down a lot, Tang Yan took out a star card from his jacket pocket and handed it to him. Then he picked up the chopsticks and started eating: "This is your food allowance for the next month."
Topaz didn't want to cook at all, but after countless bitter lessons, he knew that he could confront Tang Yan face to face, so he asked tentatively: "I have been doing the cleaning for a long time, so Pingjian, should you cook for the next ten days?"
It was really touching, Topaz never thought that there would be a day when he would be able to speak seriously.
"I introduce,"
Tang Yan ate his meal calmly, which was a rare good thing for him. However, before Topaz could be happy, his next words easily shattered Topaz's dream: "But I have to do social service in the military for six months, so Haosi, you have to cook for yourself."
Topaz nearly dropped his chopsticks on the table, dumbfounded. "Ten days?"
Tang Yan smiled at him, his voice like a devil's whisper: "You broke a male insect's leg, kicked two male insects' buttocks, and beat an A-level male insect into the hospital, so... your service term is extended."
, is this something a normal insect can do
Tang Yan asked sincerely, "Do you have any other views?"
Topaz: "No... No..."
Topaz picked up his chopsticks tremblingly and buried his head in his food, not wanting to repeat the fate of those male insects. Did he really give birth to a male insect cub? Why was Tang Yanlai more brutal than the female soldiers fighting on the battlefield
They ate in silence, and Topaz dared not complain. Of course, he had nothing to complain about, for Tang Yan's cooking skills were excellent and impeccable.
Tang Yan always felt that he had some signs of fever. He frowned and touched his hot neck, saying that it felt uncomfortable. Seeing this, Topaz looked up from the bowl, revealing a pair of eyes looking him up and down, and asked coldly: "Tang Yan, are you about to wake up again?"
Tang Yan didn't pay attention and asked, "What awakening?"
Topaz finally regained some of his pride as a male father, and spoke with the attitude of an experienced insect: "My child, this is a stage that every male insect must go through. The day when you are waiting, you will suddenly have a fever and fall into a coma, awakening from your level, and you will wake up the next day."
Tang Yan had not studied this kind of thing in detail when he was writing the book, so he had no idea about the awakening process. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and asked, "What happens after waking up?"
Topaz: "And then you'll find out you're still C-class."
Tang Yan was silent for a moment: "... Why?"
Does it mean there will be an awakening level
Topaz said as a matter of course: "Awakening is very difficult. There are no male insects that can awaken. They usually just sleep for one night and then it's over. For example, I was still B-level after I woke up."
Tang Yan sneered and said nothing.
Even though he really wanted to tell Topaz, your b means I b, and my c means I always c.
Topaz knew what Tang Yan was thinking at a glance, and said with a piercing smile, "Only a very small number of male insects can awaken their skills, and most of them are extremely talented. Your female father and I are both B-level, but you are C-level. This talent has proven that you may be able to awaken your skills."
Yes, Tang Yan almost forgot that he was the product of b+b=c, or 2b for short.
He didn't feel anything. After all, the awakening would only take one night's sleep, and he would lose a piece of meat. Just as he was about to continue eating, the doorbell of the room suddenly rang.
Tang Yan paused when he heard this. Considering that Topaz was very lazy and didn't like socializing, it could be said that their family had no relatives or friends. Who would suddenly come to the door at this time
Tang Yan asked: "Your friend?"
Topaz shook his head.
Tang Yan: "Your lover?"
Topaz dared to speak out: "I'm not that vile!"
Tang Yan simply put down his chopsticks, walked to the door, and when he opened it, he saw a strange female insect who looked like a cadre standing there with a stack of white lists in her hands.
"Excuse me, is this the residence of Lord Topaz? I am Director Ivan of the Male Insect Protection Association. According to the statistics of the Star Network, Lord Topaz has been widowed for more than half of the time, so in order to contribute to the reproduction of the empire, we have specially found a group of high-quality military females to match you."
Director Ivan took out a list and handed it to Tang Yan. He secretly felt that this widowed male insect was so young and handsome, but at the same time he did not forget his job: "This is the blind date list arranged by the association for you. The time and place are on the list. If you still have questions, you can log on to the official website to check the information. I am happy to serve you."
After he finished speaking, he nodded and bowed, then glanced at the list and turned away to go to the next house.
There are really a lot of widowed male insects recently, which has caused Director Ivan's workload to increase several times. Otherwise, he really recommends talking to this handsome widowed male insect for a while longer.
Tang Yan: “…”
Tang Yan had no say from beginning to end, and he didn't know that he had mistaken the young widowed handsome male insect. He frowned at the list in his hand and went back into the house.
"Looking for you on a blind date."
Tang Yan threw the information in his hand on Topaz's face and continued to eat with chopsticks. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Due to the worrying reproduction rate of the Chris Empire, the Male Insect Protection Association will never allow the existence of "single male insects".
In later generations, one could at least avoid the urge for marriage from the aunts and uncles, but here it is unavoidable and it is a forced blind date.
“So that’s why.”
Topaz suddenly realized what was going on, and then he very skillfully logged into the dating website and found his information list. It showed that the association had arranged for him to meet seven female soldiers, one per day, and if there was no suitable one, he would continue to the next round until he was single.
In order to prevent male insects from judging girls by their appearance and rejecting blind dates, there are no photos on the list.
In this long line of blind date candidates, all of them were military females, with the same rank as Topaz, all of them were B. Therefore, the information of one A-rank military female stood out.
"Huh?" Topaz suddenly tapped the screen. "They must have made a mistake."
Tang Yan glanced at him: "What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, because the surname following the name of this A-rank military female was...
Ilvisa
The richest surname in the empire
Tang Yan said calmly: "I think it's a mistake."
Although the pheromones of the B-level male insects can barely appease the A-level female insects, since they have the surname Ilvisa, there is really no need to find someone like Topaz...
Well, this lazy and greedy civilian male insect.
Topaz was somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Yan's tone, and he straightened his back: "I'm sure you're not mistaken. It's because I'm good enough that I was matched with an A-level blind date."
Tang Yan paused while drinking water after hearing this. He immediately knew what to say to Topaz, who was full of confidence. After a while, he said, "... I like your confidence."
He had just eaten his fill, so he went back to his room to rest.
Topaz cleaned the room very well. Even though he hadn't been back for a while, it was still clean and tidy. Tang Yan half leaned on the bed, closed his eyes and thought about something. After a moment, he moved his fingertips slightly and took out a low-key and luxurious medal from his shirt pocket. It was inlaid with a circle of golden vines made of gemstones, but it could not take away the grace of the rose in the middle.
It is both cold and indifferent, and also worldly.
Unbridled, passionate and proud.
Xie Laine, SS-level military female.
This level was bestowed by Tang Yan himself, and while it gave the other party supreme glory, it also seemed to bring invisible shackles.
An old saying on Earth once said that you can have your cake and eat it too, but in this world, you can have both freedom and life.
"Your female father and I are both B-level, but you are C-level. This talent proves that you may have awakened..."
Tang Yan's ears echoed with Topaz's words again. He frowned and put the medal back into his jacket pocket. He glanced around and found a palm-sized strawberry cake on the corner of the table, and he paused.
"… "
Topaz was lying on the sofa after eating and drinking. Suddenly, he heard the door open and sat down. When he turned around, he saw Tang Yan coming out. He looked very bad.
Topaz couldn't help but shudder. This feeling was too familiar. It seemed that he had the same expression when Tang Yan forced him to do housework.
"You you you...what do you want to do?!"
Out of instinct to save his life, Topaz retreated far away and looked at Tang Yan with a vigilant look.
Tang Yan rolled up his sleeves, thinking that Topaz had nothing to be afraid of, and he had no intention of beating him up, so he frowned and said, "Sit on the sofa."
Topaz looked suspicious: "And then?"
"Then?"
Tang Yan thought that he would teach Topaz how to go on a blind date and correct his bad habits. He might take care of Topaz for the rest of his life, so he might as well take this opportunity to check and find a suitable partner for him.
The system hid in the dark, and Cangsang took a puff of the existing cigarette. He didn't expect that Tang Yan, who came to be the most reliable, was actually the most reliable one among these hosts.
Not only is she in a relationship herself, she is also helping her cheap dad to go on blind dates.
Oh, I almost forgot, in Tang Yan's series of exciting works, in addition to the works full of complaints such as "I Married a Wife from the Zerg Tribe", "I Was an Emperor in Ancient Times" and "My School Beauty is a Bodyguard", there is also a book with the most normal style, "Sixteen Strategies of Love".
Well, "Sixteen Strategies of Love".
