The moonlight was quiet, casting a clear light on the ground. The dense forest of Qarqa was shrouded in darkness, and the towering trees stretched out their branches and leaves, casting strange shadows on the ground. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew by, whimpering, as if someone was crying softly.
A group of female soldiers in training uniforms were carrying heavy packages and struggling through the dense forest. They had to avoid attacks from wild beasts and get out of this uncivilized and dangerous forest before dawn.
Dozens of trackers were constantly hovering over the recruits' heads, accurately transmitting their situations back to the military network terminal. After days and nights of intense alert, they were all exhausted.
"Shelain, you're crazy!" A female soldier in black training uniform stood above the valley, using a telescope to observe the march of the new recruits below. She gritted her teeth and said, "There's no way they can reach the camp before dawn. Do you want to eliminate them all?"
"No, Solander, on the contrary, I really hope they can fly over and reach the destination right now."
Xie Lain's tone was cold, and he could hardly hide his sarcasm. He stood above the valley, looking down at the group of recruits. The night wind ruffled his silver-gray hair, his purple eyes were deeper and more mysterious than the starry sky, and his clothes fluttered in the air.
"After all, I don't like wasting my precious time in places like this..."
Xie Lain said something meaningful, and the next second he pulled out the light energy gun from his waist, and accurately aimed it at the female soldier who had fallen behind in the dark. There was a "bang" sound, and the ground under the opponent's feet was directly exploded into a mottled pit.
"Soldier No. 236, you are lagging behind. If you don't want to be attacked by wild beasts, you'd better hurry up."
Xie Laine's cold voice came clearly into their earphones. Upon hearing this, the female soldier who had fallen behind quickly quickened her pace and tried to catch up with the team in front.
These new recruits are the elite of the elite of the Imperial Capital Guard, and the spiritual power of each insect is at least A-level. Solander wiped the mud on his face with his sleeve, and saw Xielaine turning back to the camp, and complained: "The regulations above stipulate that they only need to reach the destination within three days, Xielaine, you are too strict."
Even in the wild, Xie Lain was still elegant, with not a single spot of mud on his uniform. He said in a haughty tone, "The sky is long enough, isn't it? It took me 18 hours, and that annoying guy Youan took 23 hours."
Solander: "So the Empire has two Glory Twins. Xielaine, just because you can do it doesn't mean they can do it too."
"That shows they are not strong enough."
Xie Lain walked straight to the camp, where several female soldiers gathered outside the tents. They were all major generals and lieutenant generals from the second and third armies. It can be seen that the military leaders valued these elite recruits.
When they saw Shelain coming over, they greeted him jokingly, "Well, I really hope that poor recruit can keep up with you."
Xie Lain found a tree to lean against, his posture was lazy and casual, but he couldn't hide his nobleness in his bones: "It's very bad."
Solander said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. In fact, the marching speed of the new soldiers is very good. It was Major General Shelain who was too anxious to rush back to the army."
There seemed to be some other meaning hidden in his words.
Major General Winton, who was standing beside him, looked puzzled when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you rushing back? To marry the Sirio family?"
His father was a royal medical officer of the empire, also considered a noble, and had known Shelain since childhood. However, he had just returned from the battlefield, so he was not very clear about what had happened in the imperial capital recently.
Shelain thought he was simply curious and angry, and sneered, "Of course not, who said I was going to get engaged to that idiot Sirio."
Winton raised his eyebrows and deliberately dragged out his voice: "Oh? Then do you want me to introduce my brother to you? But it's a pity that he has already married a female monarch."
Winton has a famous male insect brother, who is rare in good temper and good character, but a little dull, but it is already a rare species in the Chris Empire. So much so that he was targeted by countless female insects as soon as he became an adult, and now the positions of female monarchs and female servants have been filled.
Xie Lain spread his hands, suppressed the vague expression on his lips, and hid everything under a nonchalant look. It was as if he had already found a treasure in the jungle, while others were still looking for something in the jungle without a way out.
"You keep it for yourself."
After saying this, Shelain turned and went back into his tent.
Solander shrugged at Winton and said, "Don't think of Xielaine as cold and arrogant. Can you believe that he rushed back just to see the male insect he liked?"
The noble female soldiers all became interested after hearing this: "Who is the male insect you like?"
Solander was being mysterious: "I can tell you that the gentleman is very handsome, but he is not of noble birth."
Everyone was surprised. After all, Xie Lain looked up and said, "Is it A-level?"
"No," Solander shook his head and said jokingly, "You would never have thought that the gentleman is C-level."
This was nothing short of bombshell news. They could understand why Shelaine looked down on Sirio, but would it be too foolish to abandon an A-level male insect just for a C-level male insect of civilian origin
Solander concluded: "Shelaine must have been fed a drug that made him lose his mind."
Yes, everyone thinks so.
Probably to ease the atmosphere, Winton asked Lieutenant General Filler beside him: "I remember you are single, do you need a match? I can get you close to someone, my brother is really outstanding."
There was total silence, and from time to time one could hear the roars of wild animals in the dense forest. Lieutenant General Feller remained indifferent, looking up at the distant and quiet night sky and said, "I will die on the battlefield."
Winton was stunned when he heard this, then said: "It's a good destination."
The night was endless, blowing up their skirts. In a trance, they seemed to be a group of rebellious female soldiers who had never bowed to their fate.
Topaz was different, male insects were always proud. Under Tang Yan's heavy pressure, he could lower his head as much as he wanted, even to the ground.
In later times, there was a period of time when love secret books were very popular, and Tang Yan also followed suit and wrote one. From the current point of view, the plot inside is quite old-fashioned, but the introduction of the Zerg is worth mentioning.
Tang Yan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a notebook on his knees. He was holding a pen and writing something quickly, his handwriting was so sloppy that it could be seen through the paper.
Putting a clothes hanger on the table can not only gently support the clothes that need to be dried, but also be used to... hit people.
Topaz sat opposite, not daring to breathe, with his knees together, looking extremely nervous.
Tang Yan was writing something, then looked up at Topaz and clicked the cap on his pen. "Your first blind date is at table 5 at Newman's at 2pm. To avoid being rude, I suggest you arrive 20 minutes early."
Topaz didn't understand why he had to arrive early, so he asked cautiously, "Can I not accept this suggestion?"
Tang Yan smiled slightly: "Of course, let's go an hour earlier, just in time to go to the flower shop to buy a bunch of flowers."
Topaz said in a surprised tone, "Why would I buy flowers?!"
There has always been a rule that female insects give flowers to woo male insects, but there has never been a rule that male insects give flowers to female insects.
Tang Yan said calmly, "Because your blind date is too good, to avoid being eliminated, you'd better distinguish yourself from other competitors."
Male insects can date many female insects, and similarly, female insects can also date many male insects. Tang Yan felt that they didn't have to win, but they must not lose.
Topaz was angry but dared not say anything: "..."
Tang Yan: "Yes, get up an hour earlier tomorrow and go to the barber shop to get your hair cut and prepare some suitable clothes."
Topaz doesn't understand why he has to get up early and early: "I'm handsome enough and don't need to dress up."
Although Tang Yan didn't want to admit it, they were indeed father and son. Seeing how Tang Yan had bewitched the female insect, Topaz was naturally not much worse. With light blond hair and emerald green eyes, Taoshi Taoshi was definitely a handsome guy, but his personality was childish.
Topaz has only lived a quarter of the average Zerg lifespan of 200 years. Strictly speaking, he is very young, a widowed male who has been tormented by housework recently and has become decadent, but he is still a charming and handsome male Zerg.
Tang Yan did not speak, but replaced the notebook in his room with a clothes hanger and tapped the edge of the table twice, which made Topaz break out in a cold sweat. He said slowly, "My dear father, I suggest you follow my advice."
Topaz bowed his head towards the hanger: "...say..."
Tang Yan threw the hanger aside and continued teaching. He opened his notebook and said, "As a male insect, I suggest you be a gentleman. When the other party arrives at the restaurant and sits down, please pull out the chair for him, ask him about his preferences when ordering, and pay the bill in advance after the meal..."
As Tang Yan made each of the "suggestions", Topaz's mouth opened wider and wider, until he was finally shocked. He was so shocked that he became calm inside.
Tang Yan finished what he had to say and pinched his nose with a little tiredness. He looked at the time and found that it was already late. He stood up from the sofa and said to Topaz, "Go to bed early and remember to set the alarm for 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Tomorrow morning, Topaz needs to change countless sets of clothes to find the most suitable one for herself, get a neat haircut, and practice various possible situations that may happen during the blind date. She originally needed to go out at 10:00 in the afternoon, but now she has to get out of bed at 8:00 in the morning.
Topaz: "..."
qaqHe hates blind dates.
Tang Yan went back to his room to take a shower. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he heard the communicator on his bedside table ringing. He picked it up and saw that it was a video call request from Xie Lane.
Um
Tang Yan paused, threw back the quilt and got into bed, then clicked to connect. The beam screen popped up instantly, showing Xie Lain's face.
"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you with your evening rest."
They all seemed to have just finished a shower. Xielaine's silver-grey hair was dripping with water, soaking the white shirt on his body, which stuck tightly to his skin, revealing large areas of flesh color, and even the bulge on his chest was clearly visible.
He leaned close to the screen, with a slight moisture on his body, his skin was clear, and his lips looked even more red.
Xie Lain seemed to be showing his temptation and charm all the time. Tang Yan stepped back slightly, away from the screen. This action caused the collar of his nightgown to spread out, revealing a tiny piece of collarbone. His deep green eyes looked through the screen, causing a palpitation: "Why don't you rest this night?"
Tang Yan's voice is low like most male insects, but it is magnetic and gives people the illusion of tenderness.
Xie Lain began to miss the faint smell of pheromones on the male insect's collar. It was clearly Tian Jian, wasn't it? His eyes fell on Tang Yan's collarbone, his eyes dark, and he simply lay sideways on the table, his thick eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes: "You know, new recruits are very troublesome."
Xie Lain deliberately crouched very close to the camera. He even said to Tang Yan, "You are too far away. Can you come closer? The signal in the dense forest is not very good. I can't see clearly."
Hearing this, Tang Yan sat up slightly, got closer to the screen, and adjusted the camera angle: "How about this?"
Xie Laine glanced at Tang Yan's increasingly close body, and a faint blush began to spread on his cheeks and neck, but he said, "Please come closer, I can't see clearly."
Tang Yan didn't know the signal strength of the Zerg communicator. When Xie Lain was in the wild, he couldn't see the screen clearly, so he moved closer: "How about this?"
Xie Lain's face was red, his eyes were gorgeous and intoxicating. He gently touched the camera with his fingertips and moved his lips silently: "Closer, okay?"
He seemed to be teasing Tang Yan on purpose.
Tang Yan looked at him deeply, leaned closer to the screen, and said meaningfully: "Major General Xie Lane, if you can't see clearly, I think you need to change the communicator."
"If you come any closer you can... I swear, for the last time..."
Xie Lain's eyes slowly fell on Tang Yan's sexy Adam's apple, and his breath was choked for a moment. In fact, his estrus period was approaching, and due to his bloodline genes, he always had an insatiable desire for the male insect he liked.
Tang Yan glanced at Xie Lane's lazy and seductive appearance. Seeing that he was staring at him, his face was getting redder and redder. With both of them not at the table, it was hard not to be suspicious. He said calmly, "Major General Xie Lane, please move away from the camera. I can't see clearly."
Shelain reluctantly sat up straight, the screen aimed above his shoulders, his shirt half open.
Tang Yan saw what he was doing and whispered, "Please stay away."
Shelain asked back, "What do you want to see?"
He moved the camera down very slowly, aiming it at his chest. Through the semi-transparent shirt, his slender fingertips gently circled a certain scarlet spot, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it here..."
Those two points are so obvious.
Tang Yan saw Xie Lane's right: "No, a little lower."
Xie Lain must have blushed a lot, because Tang Yan saw that his skin was covered with a light pink. Xie Lain unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, revealing his strong and flexible waist: "Do you want to see this..."
Tang Yan: "No, a little lower."
The camera slowly moved up, focusing on Xie Lan's red face. His facial features were deep, more intense and dazzling than a rose. On the screen, he said in a half-joking, half-playful voice: "Sir, I don't think so, because I'm wearing a shirt, do you understand..."
It's light underneath.
Tang Yan: “…”
He now really doubted what Shelain had just done to him.
Seeing that Tang Yan didn't say anything, Xie Lane curled his lips and changed the subject: "Of course, if you really want to see it, it's not impossible. I believe that your character is different from that filthy male insect..."
After Xie Lain finished speaking, he really began to slowly move the camera downwards, passing over the slightly protruding sexy Adam's apple, the strong collarbone, the half-covered chest and the flexible waist, there is...
"Need not-"
Tang Yan suddenly spoke. He turned his head away, feeling that if he really looked, he would become the obscene male insect in Xie Lain's mouth.
Xie Lain's eyes flashed with meaning. He slowly stretched out his long and strong legs under the table, then suddenly zoomed away, lazily put his legs on the edge of the table, and was wearing neat military pants: "Is this what you want to see?"
Tang Yan glanced at the lens carefully and vigilantly, only to see Xie Lane talking to him in a low voice with a passionate look in his eyes. Only then did he realize that the female insect had just played a trick on him.
All right.
Tang Yan: "It's cold outside, I hope you can wear more clothes."
Xie Lain blushed and slowly straightened his collar: "Thank you for your concern."
Tang Yan noticed that Xie Lane was looking at his collar intentionally or unintentionally, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and fiddled with the camera as if unintentionally: "Do you want me to move the camera down a bit?"
Shelain begged: "Of course."
Tang Yan Xie Lane adjusted the camera with a slightly expectant look in his eyes, teasing the female insect until her face turned red and her heart beat fast, but in the end, it didn't go as he wished, and he suddenly stopped: "I don't think it's necessary, wait for you to come back, and we can talk face to face."
Xie Lane's hopes were dashed, and he could not help but purse his red lips, but he used his fingertips to quietly outline the lines of Tang Yan's face through the screen, and whispered meaningfully: "Sir, I will rush back to the army as soon as possible before 8 o'clock tomorrow night..."
So, wait for me
Tang Yan somehow understood what Xie Lane meant and looked at him: "I also hope to get off work with you, Major General Xie Lane."
Xie Lane had a thought in his mind: he must have been drugged by the male insect in front of him, otherwise why would his heart beat faster at the other party's casual words
After turning off the video call, Xie Lain slowly fell back into the chair. He was wearing a familiar coat, his purple eyes were confused, and after a long time he groaned, with a faint red blush at the corners of his eyes.
The moon was hidden by dark clouds, as if it was ashamed to glimpse this scene.
The next morning, Topaz was pulled out of bed by Tang Yan at eight o'clock, forced to choose a set of fitted clothes, and go to the high-end barber shop downstairs to get a neat haircut.
"Your Excellency, you are truly very handsome."
The female hairdresser blushed and praised Jutopaz, then looked at Tang Yan next to her and hesitated for a moment, wondering which one to hook up with.
In his heart, he preferred Tang Yan, but because the other person's temperament was too cold, he finally quietly slipped the business card into Topaz's suit pocket and winked.
Unfortunately, Topaz was so sleepy that he didn't notice his little movements at all. He left the barber shop with Tang Yan, stretching sleepily at the door. "Where should we go now?"
Tang Yan pulled the business card out of Topaz's pocket and threw it directly into the trash can: "Go to the flower shop."
Just as Topaz said, in the Chris Empire, there were female insects who gave flowers to please male insects, but there was never an example of male insects buying flowers. So when the two of them walked into a nearby flower shop, the waiter almost suspected that he was hallucinating: "Your Excellencies... Your Excellencies... Is there anything I can help you with?"
“Buy flowers.”
For no reason, Tang Yan immediately fell in love with the bouquet of roses that had just arrived in the store. The colors were dazzling and the fragrance was rich, like a ball of strong fire.
The waiter was very good at reading people's expressions: "Sir, these are freshly picked roses, a rare variety, there are thirty-six of them in total, would you like a bouquet?"
Tang Yan gently stroked the branches with distinct joints, pulled out a few that were in full bloom, and handed them to the waiter to bandage: "Thank you, buy another bunch of crystal white orchids."
When the florist heard him say thank you, she nodded with a blushing face and turned around to bandage him. Although the Zerg were thousands of years ahead of humans in technology, their aesthetics seemed to have caught up. The wrapping paper was bright red and green, so gorgeous that it hurt Tang Yan's eyes.
"Thank you, I'll pack it myself."
Tang Yan took the rose from the waiter, and from the pile of colorful flower papers, he took out a few pieces of pure black paper with gold edges, and then put a piece of black gauze under it, carefully wrapped the bright red rose, and cut a piece of gold-woven ribbon to tie it tightly. It was much better than before.
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Sir, your dumplings are really beautiful."
After he finished speaking, he hesitantly handed over a bouquet of elegant crystal white orchids: "Then, do you need to bandage this yourself?"
Topaz wanted to help, but he was powerless and could only watch from the sidelines.
Tang Yan felt a throbbing pain in his temple. He took out two pieces of light green and yellow floral paper and wrapped the bouquet of crystal white orchids. The color was fresh and elegant, completely different from the noble and luxurious roses.
Topaz stared at it intently. Oh, thinking that his male insect cubs are more virtuous than female insects, and can cook, fight, and arrange flowers...
If Tang Yan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely throw the flowers in his hand at his face. After paying the bill, Tang Yan looked down at the time and found that it was almost time. He handed the bouquet of white orchids to Topaz and took out a micro communicator from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Put this in your ears and cover it with your hair."
Tang Yan was still not at ease with his cheap father, so he planned to observe the situation from the next table and act as a military advisor. There were many such micro-communication devices in the army, and he had already forgotten who gave them to him.
Until now, Topaz had no intention of resisting. He put the communicator Tang Yan handed him into his ear and entered Newman Western Restaurant 20 minutes early. Because they looked too good and each of them was holding two bouquets of very eye-catching flowers, they attracted a lot of attention.
Tang Yan pretended not to know Topaz and sat down in the booth next to him. There was a half-high partition wall in the middle with a few pots of green plants on it, which was a perfect cover.
Tang Yan ordered a cup of coffee and used a magazine to cover his face to avoid the gazes from all directions. However, after sitting for a while, Topaz's voice came from the headset: "Tang Yan, I wonder if he likes roses. Should we change them?"
Topaz thought the rose in Tang Yan seemed beautiful.
Tang Yan said indifferently: "I refuse."
Topaz: "Okay."
Another five minutes later, a female waiter came to serve Topaz a drink. Topaz's family had already been trained by Tang Yan to have a conditioned reflex, so he subconsciously said, "Thank you."
The female waitress was stunned when she heard this, then she blushed and looked at Topaz several times, then said in a delicate voice, "Sir, you're welcome. May I have the honor of meeting you?"
Topaz was confused. Tang Yan had told him what to do if he was seduced by a bug: "Uh..."
Tang Yan frowned, and an impatient voice came from the headset: "Are you an idiot?"
Topaz misunderstood the meaning and raised his eyes to the sub-female waitress and said, "Are you an idiot?"
Sub-female waiter: "..."
